STATE POLIGE SAY REMEMBER TO SIGNAL! Nearly every state requires all drivers to give signals. Pennsyl- vania’s Motor Code requires all drivers when starting, stopping or turning from a direct line, to signal by the hand and arm— unless equipped with mechanical signal device—if pedestrians or automobiles are affected by the nmovement. Experienced drivers always give hand signals clearly and in plenty of time to warn the driver behind of their inten- tion to turn, stop or pull out of line.

STATE MINE SAFETY LAW GHANGE URGED Eye Turned Toward Revision of Blasting Regulations All the state mine inspectors in Pennsylvania took steps Friday to revise in part state safety laws, aiming particularly at those which deal with property damage by blasts at strip mining operations. A four-man committee has been named to study exisiting rules. Ac- orang Bak: ii Joseph J. Walsh, “it’s quite probable that more precautionary rules will be adopted after the State Dept. of Mines receives the report of this committee.” Nearby Property Destroyed The fact was brought out at the | fer -day convention that some of | the large strip mines use as much as 150,000 pounds of dynamite in blasting surface coal and “we have | to watch that nearby property is | not destroyed by so great a charge of explosives.” The group also will check the inadequacy of prestnt laws con- cerning safety of surface mining | employes.
