Trading Dollars For Lives

By U. S. SENATOR IIARTKE Down toward Norfolk in Virginia there is. an intersection of Route 13 with a cross, road. It was a dangerous intersection. In two years it racked up 80 accidents, in which 54 people were injured and two killed Tan a chapge was made. At a cost -of $16,700. highway officials installed a left turn lane and turning signals. . In the»next two years accidents drop--10 to 24, injuries from 54 to 18, and there were iio deaths. All over the country there are hundreds (rs places where such “spot ' improvements” would pay enormous dividends. Nearly .48.000 people were killed in traffic accidents last year, and the economic 1 toss was $7 billion — more than we spend on all our new roads.in a year, -Yet, ■ white we bu.ki superhighways three times as safe as our old roads, we neglect high-accident or “death zone" spots ea little in\ of .money ar.d enicneering would help cut the toll. I have just introduced another bill in my “safer highways" program, one designeil to encourage spot im- . provements on. primary and secondary federally-aided roads. Funds for these presently are on a 50-50 statefederal matching basis, and there are no funds specifically devoted to this kind of work. Wb itever the state uses for old road imj rovement leaves that much less for new road building, and the danger s’pots are .too often nealectt'd.. My bill .will authorize SIOO million for distr but on specifically for these improvements and will allow up to 70 per C€ ■ tiie cost from the federal share. Here is a real incentive for the states to 1 ages. ' j In- same cases, the improvement will be widening a bridge. Research shows that when a bridge is only a foot narrower than the road approach to it. there are ioo acc ui ■ it is made five feet wider than the road, the rate drops from 100 to 12. increasing the. radius of curves also helps greatly In one-group of seven . ises, the greater sight dis-> tance provided cut accidents by 84 ( per cent. - ' If the bill passes, about $2 million will help in Indiana If you know of a| high-accident spot in oyur aria, tell me about it We' must make highways safer! .» MORE SERVICE FACILITIES FOR POSTAL CUSTOMERS - More sen ice facilities for the, postal customer are receiving new emphasis in . the postal- system. Syracuse postmaster Ernest .E. Bushong commented today after re-1 ceiving word from postmaster Gen- i eral John A. Gronouski in 'Washington, D.Ci. of a new improved “self-1 service . post office.” . , The new experimental 24-hour j self-service unit—the second, opened in mid-March just outside Los i Angeies. io meet afrer-hours..postal and mailing needs of suburbaniteis. Tht t was. installed rerentlv at a shopping center ju.-t outside Washington, DC. It offers ; around-the-clock facilities, for buy- > ing stamps, postal cards and en-1 yelopes at coSt, mailing letters and t weighing and mailing parcels. : In the new model, the vending / machines dispensing cards, envelope’s, etc . have five times as much j Capacity, and a larger roof over the vending devices and parcel post drops for better protection of the ! public. Noting that the self-service units are designed as a supplement to service, and not as a replacement i for central postal facilities or personnel. postmaster Bushong added: i “While there has been no determination yet of how far this program will be expanded. :t has a* great potential for helping to meet' the tremendous increases in suburban service demands more eff’.-1 ciently. while providing even better service.”.

' .’ TIME TO THINK 4 ABOUT ONIONS t LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Ebenezer is a recommended onion variety if you pian to plant from sets and you want a good green onion with storage quality. Purdue university extension horticulturists say Early Yellow Globe and Elite are good green onion varieties if you’re planting from seed. i For a “hamburger onion”, try Sweet Spanish. It’s started from small and should be used only for (resh eating, since storage quality is loW. It’s time to think about planting onions since the average planting date for central Indiana is early April. Adjust for your locality. Most gardeners grow onions from sets. And rightly so. They are easy to handle, grow fast and usually ! give better results than either seed .or plants. i For best results with whatever kind of onions you plant, add four to ifive pounds of 12-12-12 fertilizer, or its equivalent, per 100 square feet after you dig or plow ycur garden in the spring. Grow onions in rows one to two feet apart, and put the plants (or thin them' to one to four ' inches apart in the row.
