A couple of months ago the Soroptimist cluo and the ehum-j ber of commerce started a cam paign to raise money for the lights. The campaign was suc cessful and the lights ordered. Now the lights are ready to put up but the highway commission rays "No!", they can't lie hung over a state highway. After an interchange of num erous letters between Leslie Grant, chamber committee chair man in charge of the project, and the highway commission, and a survey of the need by an engi neer from the department, a re cent letter from II. II. Baldock, state highway engineer, said that " . . I could not recommend to the state highway commission that permission be granted for the erection of these flashing beacons." Baldock stated in his letter that the highway department has found that flashing beacons have little effect on traffic and that it is the commission's opinion that they Impart a false security to the children which might lead to serious results. He further stated that he had recommended the installation of four 42 inch school crossing signs, two on Main street at the Tum-A. Lum Lumber company crossing, and two at the crossings at the Intersection of Court and May streets. It was also recommend ed that the crosswalks be changed at the courthouse inter sections and that head-in park ing in front of the court house be eliminated. lie also suggested that a schoolboy paired lie estab llshed. though this had been givn up by school officials be cause of the length of time the patrol would have to operate due to the staggered hours that children of various ages arrive and leave school.
