Three Accidents Are Reported In County Soft Berm Blamed For Three Accidents A long lull in traffic accidents on Adams county highways and roads was broken Wednesday and early Thursday morning when three accidents were investigated by the sheriff’s department and state, police. With the exception of a minor accident reported Oct. 7. the three recent accidents are the first in the county since Sept. 19. according to a report by sheriff Merle Affolder. He added that there has been no accident involving a personal injury since Sept. 7. when a West Virginia baby was killed and others were injured. The lull was ended at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday when a car driven by L. E. Snyder. 80. of Ohio City. 0., route two. dropped onto extremely soft berm Um V- S. highway 224 about a mile east of Decatur. The car went out.of control and hit into a ditoh. Mr*. Bertha Snyder. 76. wife of the driver, was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital for observation because of a heart condition. Damage to the car was estimated at only S6O. Deputy sheriff Charles Arnold and state trooper Al Coppes investigated. The same soft berm along U. S. highway 224 was responsible for the other two accidents, both involving trucks, and both occurring shortly after midnight this morning. The first happened at 12:45 a m. about one and a half miles east of Decatur when a truck driven by Harry Virgil Turner, 56, of Eaton, went out of control. Turner said that, blinded by the bright headlights of an approaching vehicle, he swerved too far to the right, and dropped one wheel off the road. The soft berm caused the truck to jack-knife. Damage was estimated at S4OO. Deputy sheriff Charles Arnold investigated.

Ivan E. Hough, 51, of Geneva route two. was the driver of the other truck which went off the road at 1:30 a.m. near the Indiana-Ohio state line. Damage to his truck was estimated at S4OO. Deputy sheriff Arnold and state trooper Gene Rash investigated. Sheriff Merle Affolder issued a warning today to local motorists i about the danger of the soft berm ; which lines U. S. highway 224 east -of Decatur since the recent repair - on that highway. ; He added that he has been high- - ly pleased with the low accident rate in the county during the past . two months and expressed hope , that it could be continued. j He pointed out that the accident . rate in September of 1956 totalled 17 . with four personal injury accidents. . while September of this year had . only'll accidents. During October, 1956. there were 19 accidents, four I involving injuries, while the same month this year to date has marked up only four property damage accidents. ; To Enforce Laws On Trucks And Wagons Regulations Are Listed By Sheriff Sheriff Merle Affolder issued a statement today indicating that a concentrated effort will be made in the future to enforce regulations related to trucks and wagons in the area. The campaign is being brought about, he stated, by the frequent violations which are prevalent. He indicated that, in many instances the regulations are violated because truck and wagon owners are not fully aware of them. However, he added, it is up to eaeh vehicle owner to know the laws relating to the vehiale. Indiana statutes provide the following maximum sizes: maximum height. 13 feet, six inches; maximum width, eight feet, and maximum length, 50 feet. A frequently violated regulation is that covering security of loads. Sheriff Affolder said that vehicles must be constructed and loaded to prevent contents from dripping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping. He also stressed that the drawbar between towing vehicles and trailers must be less than 15 feet. Coupling devices or chains must be provided to prevent the trailer from deflecting more than six inches from the path of towing vehicles or to each other, and these devices must be of sufficient strength to tow the trailer when loaded. Another important regulation overlooked by many farmers and other wagon owners is that governing lighting. Farm tractors when pulling wagons must feature at least one white headlight, one red tail light and two red reflectors. Trac-

tors with electric lighting systems must have two headlights and two red tail lights. However, when wagons are hitched to automobiles, they fall under the classification of trailers to truck-tractors and then must feature one tail light, one white light to illuminate license plate, two red reflectors at the rear and one red stop light actuated by brakes. Sheriff Affolder stated that these rules were made to insure maximum safety both for the driver of the vehicle concerned and for the general public. He added that every effort will be made in Adams county from now on to insure that local wagon and trailer owners are complying with the regulations. If further clarification is desired, local persons are invited to contact the sheriff’s department.
