Trimble emphasized that the l0 le purpose of traffic signs, iignals, pavement markings md other devices is to state he law, to warn of hazards irid to give assistance and pro- action to all street arid high- vay users. . ' T '«cited these facts: 1. yne out of. 10 drivers in fatal traffic accident fails to keep to ihe right of the center line. • - „2.

Trimble said these and other facts on auto- accidents, in- cluding those involving cars and trains, are contained in the annual report on the Signs of Life program by .the* Coun- cil's railroad-highway . traffic safety committee. \Drivers he asserted, \con- tinue to get killed or hurt because too often they disobey, don't see, ignore or don't un- derstand traffic signs, signals and pavement markings.\ He said Jthe .Signs of. Life program has been especially^ valuable in preventing high- rail crossing accidents. \Steady education by the program, .better^crossing pro- tection and improved enforce^ ment of traffft: laws—that and cooperation from drivers, of 'course—have combined to pull down the number of motor \vehicle-train crashes,\ he said. What are the cause of high- rail accidents! Coming up to the crossing K too fast to stop, being too |familiar with a railroad cross- ing, speeding at nightrstarting up too soon after a train has passed, ignoring warning signs and signals, and driving after drinking. Trimble urged motorists to •learn the six basic traffic signs to prevent traffic accidents of all kinds: \ , 1. Round—yellow with \X\ or. \RR\ means highway-rail- road intersection ahead: 2. Crossbuck—the traditional symbol at highway-rail inter-, sections, is white with black lettering. 3. Octagon—red with white lettering. Means come to a full stop and be sure the way is clear before proceeding. R&- placihgs older yellow sign with black lettering.. . ' 4. Triangle—yellow with black letters reading \Yield Right of Way.\ Means what it says—slow -down at intersec- tions. Stop if necessary. . 5. Diamond—yellow with black lettering or symbol. Warns of dangerous or unus- ual conditions ahead—curve, side road, intersection, hill or school zone. 6. . Rectangle—^white with black or other colored letter- ing. States the law, such as speed limits, parking regula- tions, and turning and passing movements. - -\-- - Speaks at Hogansburg The Rev.

Caggelman Couple Wed 45 Years Nonfood—Mr. and Mrs. Clif- ford Casselman,' Pine St., Nor- wood, were guests of honor at a family party at their home on Thursday evening in honor of their 45th wedding anniver- sary.

Gouverneur Garden Club Plans Display One of the most education- al meetings of the year for the Gouverneur Garden Club was held at the Country Club, Thursday, from 10 A.M. , to 3:30 P.M. Mrs Bligh A. Dodds, Pres- ident, following the business meeting outlined the plan for the Garden Club Exhibit at the 1960 Gouverneur and St. Law- rence County Fair which will be presented in Floral Hall, August 8th thru the 13th. The Club unanimously voted to use \Flower Arrangement Through the Centuries\. Special arrangements will depict the type of arrange- ments used from the i3th cen- tury to the 20th. Mimeograph copies of' these\ periods^were given to the members pres- ent. ~.' i The Junior Garden Club is planning to exhibit \pasic Shapes\ as their special educa- tional theme, .j /. ' Mrs. E. Harold Cole will act as Chairman of the Centuries' Exhibit while Mrs. Frederick Best, Junior Chairman, will be in charge of the Exhibit .'for that group. 4 _ Mrs. Uodds is superinten- dent of the Flower Show at the Fair and will be assisted by Mrs. Harry Corbin. Fair Premium Books were distri- buted • to all members and Mrs. Dodds explained the prin- cipal rules for exhibiting. The Fair Management em- phasized that the Flower Show is open to all residents of St. Lawrence County and adjacent Counties. In the past several years, the list of Exhibitors in the Open Classes has in- cluded many of the outstand- ing flower growers in this section, among them being men, wohien, and children. * The Fair Management also points out that the special Exhibit^ef- -the Gouverneur Club will not be in competi- tion in any way with the in- dividual Exhibitors in any of the open classes. By the same token, bona fide Garden Club members are eligible to enter the Classes of their choice in. competition with other amateur horticulturists. Exhibitors are advised to enter only worthy specimens and the Fair Management urges the exhibition of unusual specimens. This policy tends to create an educational and artistic Show. At Thursday's Meeting, Gar- den Club members were urgerd to induce others to enter both in the hortic u 11 u r e and Artistic Classes. It is a well- known fact that many non- members hav,e outstanding specimens and should enter them at the Fair. The proceeds from the Gar- den Club Exhibit will be used for their beautification pro- gram of the East Main and Rowley Streets Intersection, a project which has been long in the planning of the Club. In the early summer, the N. V. State Department of Pub- lic Works (Highway Division) at the instigation ' of District Engineer Robert Sweet, made a complete change of the in- tersection so that this area now presents a more adapt- able -, development for the Garden Club's Project. It was also voted at the meeting to' enter Sears-Roe- buck Civic Beautification Con- test which,is approvedlby-the N.Y. State Federation of Wo- men's Clubs. ; Following luncheon, a White Elephant Sale was held by the members with Mrs. Ray Eosgate and Mrs. G. R. Trerise in charge...
