Motorists Warned of Dangen si
Operating Cars in Maaeaveff
Area.
With the assignment of additinml
patrolmen to the counties in which the
Army Maneuvers are in progress,
the motorists are warned that the
speed regulations will be strictly en-
forced.
Patrolman Jo Murrill, who will be
fisted here by Patrolman Herman
Ivey, stated yesterday that the 35
mile per hour regulation will be rig
idly enforced. Patrols, he said, would
operate over all roads for 24 hours
per day. Signs have been posted at
Ml county lines where highways enter
the maneuver area calling attentimi
of motorists to the fact and to the
speed laws.
Bwause of the extremely heavy
traffic, due to the great increase in
Army truck transports and to the
seasonal increase in both truck and
tourist traffic these regulations are
necessary. The highway death and
accident toll of the past weekend was
one of the greatest in the history of
the state.
Because there are so many army
^its moving at every hour of the
day many under blackout orders
highway travel is extremely danger
ous and speeders will not only be
stopped, but wiU be arrested and
prosecuted, according to the regula
tions. ®
The Ashemont P. T. A. held its
first regular meeting of the year at
the school Tuesday night with Mrs.
Sinclair presiding. There was a good
attendance. Plans for the year were
discussed and reports on conditions
and activities to date.
