Gas Pipeline
Hears Completion
Salt Lake City (U.R) The
first major 387-mile segment of
a S217,000,000 natural gas pipe
line stretching 2,200 miles from
New Mexico to Canada will be
"solid" in the ground by next
week end.
When the huge project is fin
ished next fall it will bring
natural gas for the first time to
3,500,000 persons along its route
to the power-hungry Pacific
Northwest.
R. D. Ricketts, president of
Fish Northwest Constructors
Inc., said by next Sunday, Nov.

from Ignacio, Colo., north to
Green River, Wyo., a distance
of 387 miles.
When it is finished the line
will be turned over to the Pacific
Northwest Pipeline Corp. But
right now the project belongs
to the genial, pipe-smoking
Ricketts and his job is to get
more than 300,000 tons of steel
pipe strung across some of the
roughest terrain in the country
by next fall. CreWs are working
right through the mountain winter.-
'.
Ricketts said 850 miles of the
line will be underground by the
end of the year. Of the total
length, 1,480 miles will be main
line pipe 26 or 22 inches in
diameter. The remainder ' is
branch pipe varying from 20 to
three -inches.

Students To Tour
For College Crediis
Waukesha, Wis. flJ.R) About
the most enjoyable studying in
the nation will be conducted by
Carroll college next summer
when a geograpny-geology group
goes rolling on a 3,305-mile bus
tour for thre hours of credit.
The tour, for teachers, Wau
kesha residents and Carrol stu
dents, will begin July 18 in an
air-conditioned bus. It winds up
back at the school Aug. 1.
"This is a unique opportunity
to combine travel with educa
tion," said Prof. Benjamin R.
Richason, department chairman
and director of the tour.
"The geography study-tour,"
will accent both the physical
and cultural geography of the
regions visited," he said. "The
areas through which we will
travel are among the most inter
esting in the United States from
the standpoint of geography and
geology." -
From Waukesha the students
go to Denver, Colo., where field
trips will be made into the
Colorado Front Range of the
southern Rockies. A study of the
evidence . of mountain building
and stream and glacial action
will be made there.
Other highlights of the tour
will include visits to Colorado
Springs, Garden of the Gods,
Seven Falls, Pike's Peak, the
Royal Gorge, Sawatch Moun
tains and South Park. The class
will study the Goshen Hole, the
Sand Hills, the Black Hills -of
South Dakota, and Pine Ridge
Escarpment.
It will go through the Home-
stake Gold Mine, the uranium
buying depot at Edgemont, and
the Bentonite mines and mills
in Belle Fourche. Also included

Bulldozers Stir
Strange Problems
Chicago (U.R) When bull
dozers and wrecking crews move
in to start a rebuilding program
they can stir up a lot of strange
problems.
According to the National As
sociation tof Housing and Rede
velopment Officials, such prob
lems have included:
(1) The unsightly pattern of
bricks, plaster and stairway out
lines left " on walls when adja
cent structures are torn down.
' .(2) Rats settling uninvited in
new locations when their old
residences have been demolished.
(3) Birds who must find new
roosting places when their fields
become sites for new develop
ments. . . .
The, housing association. .. said
the owner of the building with
the unsightly wall apparently, is
not legally obligated to clean
up the mess if it projects past
his property line.
The health department in
Washington devised a way of
dealing with the rat problem.
The redevelopment agency
should notify health officials
when a building about to be de
molished has been vacated. Then
exterminators can move in be
fore the rats find out their cup
boards are bare.
In Buffalo, N. Y., nature lovers
decried the fact that a vacant
site being leveled for a new low
rent housing project had been
the home for many birds.
In Chicago, the land clearance
commission was trying to come
to terms ' with a holdout owner
of property scheduled for rede
velopment. The commission got the own
er's wife to agree to its price.
Then, in a public hearing, the
owner accused the commission
of breaking up his marriage and
threatened to name the slum
clearance agency as correspond
ent in a divorce suit.

Signal Clears Way
In Emergencies
Chicago U.R) Suburban
Maywood, III., has become the
first community in the world to
install a new radio control traf
fic signal system which auto
matically clears the route for
emergency vehicles. "
Mobile radio "' transmitters,
mounted on each of the emer
gency vehicles, transmit : radio
signals approximately one-half
mile ahead of them.
The radio signals are picked
up by special receivers con
nected with traffic lights,
which automatically turn red
following a three-second period
of rapid flashing amber.
By stopping all traffic at each
intersection along the route of
the fire truck, police car or am
bulance, drivers will be able to
maneuver at high speeds in re
sponding to emergencies.
V. Lee Cook, president of
Electronic Protection, Inc., Chi
cago, manufacturers of the equip
ment, pointed out that the sys
tem warns emergency vehicle
drivers of other emergency ve
hicles approaching the same
intersections.
While traffic lights for four
blocks in advance of each emer
gency vehicle remain red in all
four directions, signals along
one route also flash yellow at
the same time.
Thus drivers of other emer
gency vehicles proceeding to the
same scene are warned of on
coming emergency vehicles
crossing their route at . that
corner.
The system is expected virtu
ally to eliminate accidents in
volving emergency vehicles an
swering calls, Cook said. He
noted that National Safety Coun
cil statistics indicate that one of
every 100 fatal automobile acci
dents involve an emergency
vehicle.
