B. Lentz of the State Highway Patrol gave that advice to Tar Heel motorists this week in support of one phase of the traffic safety program, the Signs of Life. 1 he program is designed to pro mote better knowledge of traffic signs and signals and to encourage strict obedience to them. Traffic sign locations are de termined by careful engineering studies,” Major Lentz said. “When ever you see one there’s a sound reason for its presence, and it’s to your advantage to obey it.” Major Lentz emphasized that traffic signs, signals and pavement markings for both motorists and pedestrians should be given the same obedience accorded a traffic officer. rie advised motorists to learn the Signs of Life by shape so that they may be recognized on sight. Due to recent revisions in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Con trol Devices, he said, vacationing motorists may see signs of un familiar shape and color. The manual now recommends that the octagonal stop sign be red instead of yellow. It also recommends the use of a Yield Right of Way sign, triangular in shape and yel low in color. This brings the num ber of basic sign shapes to six. Major Lentz listed them as fol lows: 1. EIGHT-SIDED, yellow or red. This sign means STOP — one mes sage, one requirement — never anything else. 2. DIAMOND, yellow. This sign indicates danger ahead, carries such messages as Slow, School, Narrow Bridge, Men Working, or the directional symbols describing curves, intersections, side roads, etc. It means slow down, stay alert. 3. RECTANGULAR, white. Tells of speed limits, marks no passing zones, gives other regulatory in formation such as parking rules. Obev its message. 4. TRIANGULAR, yellow. This sign is the Yield Right of Way. It tells the motorist to defer to the driver on the intersecting street. However, he need not come to a full stop except when neces sary to avoid traffic on the in tersecting street. 5. ROUND, yellow sign warns of a highway-railroad intersection 300 to 500 feet ahead. This sign calls for reduced speed and extra caution, so the driver can make sure no train is coming before he drives across the tracks. 6. RAILROAD CROSSBUCK marks the intersection of highway and railway. Cross only when the way is clear. r Poet's Corner Conducted by Anne K. Sharp, Chairman Creative Writing Group KING AUTUMN King Autumn, crowned with glory and with gold! Your flowing robes are gleam ing far away; My eyes are blinded with their flashing ray. I feel the wonder that I knew of old When first in flaming glory you unrolled Your banners over hill and field and bay, And made the woods and mead ows golden prey And penned the scarlet captives in your fold . . . 0 King, I am the captive you have won! In days when youth’s sweet joys had scarce begun My soul was painted with your purple dye— 1 roamed your courts far-flung o’er hill and field, And saw your flags unfurl, your banners fly And flaming figures blazoned on your shield. Clyde R. Protsman, Member of the Creative Writing Club.
