Province of Ontario Operates Twenty
Sign Sho s To Make Highways Safer
Wide Variety of Signs in
Use - 'Constant Study
To Make More Effec-
tive for Safety -- Mak-
' ing Signs Reflect Light
For Night Drivers
Believe in signs? There are a
great many people who don't, ac-
cording to engineers of the Ontario
Department of Highways. In spite
of the time, money and effort spent
on posting signs at intersections,
curves, hills, railway crossings,
schools, and other danger points,
there are far too many careless or
thoughtless motorists who fail to
respond to these warning signs, the
officials say. Moreover, they point
out, many seem tnengender a posi-
tive hatred of highways signs as
evidenced by those mutilated for no
apparent reason. "Highway traffic
signs," says the Hon. George H.
Doucett, Minister of Highways, "are
posted for the protection of the
Public. Those who ignore their
warning, deface or damage these
signs are a public menace.".
Many Kinds of Signs
In Ontario, the Department of
Highways operates twenty sign
shops located in *various sections of
the province. Each shop is equipped
and staffed to construct, paint,
clean and repair the different types
of signs used on the highways. The
various classifications of signs in-
clude: route numbers, finger boards,
symbol signs, railway crossing signs,'
school sign; speed limit signs, and
*Pedal signs such as eheckerboards,
etc.
Chief signs man of the province,
Goerge Stockdale, emphasizes that
the signs are for the safety as well
Another kind of sign wrecking,
according to Dan Dyer, head of the
Toronto sign painting divisible, is
the "strong men" who wishes to
his girl and bends one of
the metal tiens Mit of shape, A
surprising Inunber of these slant
are damaged this way, he says.
Highway signs riddled with bullets
are a ecentnon sight in the north,
'says Mr. Dyer, explaining that
hunters frequently use them for
targets. lie points out that this riet
only detects front the safety value
Of the sign but peer merksmanship
might result in death or injury to
any in the vicinity.
Making Signs Visible at .141glit
The symbol signs that indicate
Stop. Curve. Hill, ea., are treated
with a fabric known as nscotehlite
that has the ability to reflect any
light cast on it, warning the driver
of the haaard well within the brak-
ing'distance of a -Vehicle travelling
at the maximum authorized Speed,
and thus adding, to the safety of
night citleing. Beftectorized eIgne
are Used on, all dual 'highways, and
the signs on all two-lane reside are'
being refteetorized as rapidly as,
possible.
In 1942, the Province introduced
a new type of railroad alga that
indicated the number of tracks at
the cratelhg, Trils 'was for the bene-
t of 'those prone to stair!; across
the railway as soon as the obstructs
lag train had natsed by, and velni
fail to Make alloWariee fat 'Another
train nMenrchirig 'on the tdelltd lye
third trade. The use of the reirttain
signs to indidate the muther of
tracks is tints Unimportant accident
preventive.
Signs Have Meaning
Symbol signs are used to indicate
sharp curve, hilt m road ere:alu etc.

ment's Toronto sign shop annlies

Denatititent of High-WWI leign
sliblr, is One of many bent nut at
aloe by ituneettler ShoWnitta. Van- ,
dais are tesnotisihle for the desirties:
tion of bundre4s of highltity
as the convenience of the travelling
public. Everything possible is being
done, he says, to make the signs
clearly visible and easily readable.
By research and actual tests, .new
designs are studied for effectiveness
before being put into general use.
Traffic count, Humber of accidents
and other factors have much to do
with selecting a sign for a particttlar
location.
New Types of Signs
A new-type of sign Is now being
used throughout the province to
indicate bumps in the road. Signs
are posted 300 to 500 feet on each
side of the bump and another sign
marked "Bump" right at the
obstruction,
Another design warning of
through highway ahead is being
tested with a view to replacing the
old one that read "Through High-
way 500 feet". The new signs will
say "Stop Ahead". The new wording
follows the safety trend to make
the signs as effective as brevity will
allow.
Vandalism Costly
Vandalism, says Mr. Stockdale, is
responsible for much of the wean
and tear of highways signs. The
little reflector buttons that make
the signs visible at night seem to
have a special attraction for van-
dais, he says. Dust fall it was neces-
sary to replace 10,000 of these on
Ontario highways. Came the spring
and another 4,000 had to be re-
placed. These buttons are of no use
to anyone, but boys and grown Men
(and some women) will gouge them
out with a knife or smash them
with a stone,

SALE CONTINUES
Denying reports that the Second
Series of Canada Savings Bonds•would
be withdrawn from sale on November
15, the Hon. Douglas Abbott, Minis-
ter of Finance, said the new security

further notice. ".The terms of issue,"

new bonds could be withdrawn at any
time after November 1, but no decision
has yet been taken on the date of with-
drawl. From reports compiled by the
Bank of Canada, representing sales to
the end of Novembcr 7, it is clear that
buying by the general public is contin-
uing and that some' purchases under
the.Payroll Savings Plan have yet to be
recirded."
Bank of Canada figures referred to
by Mr. Abbott revealed that' combined
purchases amount to $204,615,950 up
to the end of November '7. This a-
mount, which represented total applica-
tions of 684,795, includes purchases un-
der the,Payroll Savings Plan of $9'5,-
566,400 from 478,283 applications by
employees. The average purchase un-
der the Payroll Savings Plan continues
high at $199,81, Payroll sales for the
Province of Ontario are 14% ahead of
sales to the smile day of last year and
other regions are running close to last
year's figures.
