It Is hoped that the Sign will
is in the form of a triangle,

flecting material and is clearly

the sign is for daytime use and
oraege colored fluorescent ma-
terial is activated by the ultra.-

Learn of Society
Study history at Staffa
By MRS. J. TEMPLEMAN
STAFFA
Mrs. Carter Kerslake pre-
sided for the historical re-
search and current e vents
meeting of the Staffa Women's
Institute held at the home of
Mrs. Ed. Chappel Friday even-
ing, May 28.
Guest speaker for the even-
ing was Mrs. W. D. Mack, Cre-
diton, president of the Huron
Historical Society. She spoke
on the work of the society, lo-
cal history and the Tweedsmuir
books which the Women's In-
stitutes are working on. Mrs.
directors and executive in
charge of the arrangements.
The district by-laws were read
and approved.
Feature number for the even-
ing was a display of crafts com-
pleted this past winter by Mrs.
Ed. Chappel which in eluded
ceramic tile, liquid embroidery
and leathercraft.
Mack was thanked by Mrs. Cecil
Bowman and presented with a
gift.
The Staffa Institute's Tweeds-
muir books were on display
and the men on the Tweeds-
rnuir committee were guests
at this meeting. Several mem-
bers displayed a keepsake which
they treasured.
The motto, Old days, old ways
and the world as it used to be,
was prepared and presented by
Mrs. Wilbur Glanville. Fifteen
members and twelve visitors
were present and the roll call
was answered by Zia gem from
my school days".
Mrs. John Templeman re-
ported on the District annual
held in Kirkton United Church
May 25. In the business it was
learned that the bus committee,
Mrs. Russell Worden and Mrs.
Cameron Vivian are working on
plans for a bus trip the latter
part of June. Entertaining in
July was discussed with the
violet rays of the sun.
The sign is adjustable for
height and can be set in any
desired position by merely
tightening a set screw. The sign
has been described as "cheap,
effective and distinctive".
Love reported the Huron Ju,
nior Farmers were selling the
emblems for $2.50 each. He
reported the sign gains the at-
tention of approaching motor-
ists at distances exceeding one=
fifth mile, providing ample time
for them to slow down before it
is too late.
Slow moving farm vehicles
haye been involved in many
deadly accidents on O nt ario
highways. In 1962 there were
1'78 reportable tractor-car ac-
cidents resulting in 11 deaths
and property loss of over $180,-
000.
Reason for the large number
of tractors involved in highway
crashes is often due to the fact
other drivers do not spot them
in time to start slowing down.
A car travelling at 60 m.p.h.
on a wet pavement requires a
minimum recognition distance
to the slow vehicle of 650 feet
— and each second's delay takes
the motorist five car lengths
closer to the hazard of the slow
vehicle,
The signs have been enthu-
siastically supported by safety
and government officials and
there has been a suggestion that
legislation be provided under
the Highway Traffic Act mak-
ing them mandatory.
