Traffic Signal Timing
A LETTER aupeanns: elsewhere on tnis page waay ciis,
i.uiea timintr of the new traffic signals, a matter
which we feel deserves some further study and possible
adjustment by the traffic engineers.
At the outset, however, it should be pointed out that
the pedestrian who enters the pedestnan lane on tne
"WALK" signal is perfectly within his rights and should
continue across the street, even though the signal may
switch to WAIT while he is crossing.
This Doint has been emphasized by city and state engi
neers, but it still bothers a lot of people, including this
scribe, to proceed through a lane with that ."WAIT"
signal staring them in tne face.
Tha thinar a pedestrian should not do is to enter
' pedestrian lane when the "WAIT" sign is on. But if he
gets in on WALK he should proceed across tne street,
Pardon the repetition, but the point is important in con
nection with the timing of the signals.
Another factor in connection with timing Is the icy
condition of the streets at present, which makes it diffi
cult for motor or foot traffic to "get going" when given
the go-ahead signal. This upsets the timing and tends to
create pile-ups.
Our impression is that the signals, while working
quite well, are timed a bit too fast. This is a matter for
the traffic engineers to study. It would be a case of re
markable good luck if they hit the timing exactly on the
first trial. It may be that a little more time should be
given during winter months, with the timing stepped up
when street conditions are more favorable for quick starts.
; In discussing the signals Tuesday, City Engineer E. A.
Thomas made the comment that it would be helpful if
motorists planning to make a right turn would swing
first to the right, approaching the intersection, and those
Intending to keep straight ahead would swing toward the
center of the street. Here is a suggestion from a man
who ought to know.
i It Was About Time
IT took a war to do it, but it appears that labor and man
I agement have at last gotten together on a plan that
will eliminate work stoppage and bring orderly settle
ment of disagreements. American public opinion is so
aroused after years of patience during peace-time and
even in the war preparation period that drastic legis
lative force was the inevitable step if the various factions
naa not reached voluntary agreements.
; It should be clearly understood that not all disputes
are Detween laDor and management. Jurisdictional bat
tles between union factions have been one of the most
persistent and difficult causes of work stoppages and
industrial confusion in recent years.
' How bad this situation has gotten was shown in the
welders strike that has developed the past few days.
Here, in the midst of a critical war effort when not a
moment of lost time could be afforded, a jurisdictional
aispute mat only a Philadelphia lawyer could understand
broke out among the all-important welders and threat,
ened to hold up essential defense production.
It is also probable that there has been cause for pro
duction difficulty in the relationships between manage
ments. The American people, unionists, non-unionists, man
agement and all others, have a job ahead of them that
requires unity and will not tolerate the luxury of work
tie-ups to settle disagreements, or anything else that slows
up the production necessary to win this war and save
the America we have now, for ourselves and our children

City Council
City councilmen wallowed
through one of the dullest ses
sions of the year Monday night.
Important action was confined
largely to matters that had al
ready been initiated and were
foregone conclusions, such as the
adoption of the blackout ordin
ance that gives the police au
thority to enforce light-darkening
in blackout periods.
The councilmen had difficulty
coming to decisions on minor
matters. It took more than half
an hour to decide to change
the. hours on Main street load
ing zones from 8 a. m. to 1 p. m.
to 8 a. m. to 6 p. m.
These zones are set up on
either side of the street in each
block. Hereafter, these zones will
be used for loading exclusively
throughout the business day. No

mitted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 (AP)
Crown Prince Olav of Norway
said Monday that because of
military reverses in Russia and
Libya, Germany was pulling
troops out of occupied Norway
and underground unrest among
loyal Norwegians was growing
day by day.
The crown prince has just ar
rived here from London where
he has been with the Norwegian
government In exile. He told a
press conference that with the
entrance of all great world
powers into the war, axis mem
bers were going to find that the
way of the aggressor "doesn't
pay."
"I feel more convinced than
ever that the war will end fairly
soon," he said. "For the first time
we Norwegians can see the end
that the free peoples of the
earth are going to prove that
aggression doesn't pay. Now that
all great powers are in the war
it will conclude more quickly."
Explaining that it was Imnnn.
sible for Norway to declare war
on Japan "because we can't get
a parliament together to do it,"
the crown prince said the Nor
wegian charge d'affaires In
Tokyo had been Instructed to
