er Harry H. Brainerd of the
Pennsylvania Bureau of
Traffic safety.
The commissioner explain-
ed that while most drivers
are using their turn signals
for simple left and right
turns, the great majority
have vastly ignored other ar-
eas where the use of turn
signals is explicitly required
by law.
“The rising toll of traffic
accidents on commonwealth
highways calls for a com-
plete about-face by all citiz-
ens with respect to motor
vehicle laws. The bureau of
traffic safety intends, with
the cooperation of all the law
enforcement agencies in the
state, to crack down on vio-
lators of the so called “turn
signal laws.”
The Pennsylvania
vehicle code provides
motor
that
operators must use the sig-
nals to indicate starting,
turning, changing lanes or
entry into the traffic from a
parked position. The law
says that you must use your

nals on or at the side toward

hicle movement is to be
Legal officials for the bur-
eau of traffic safety report
that violators of this law are
subject to a fine of $10 and
the cost of prosecution.
“The failure to use signals
when changing lanes on high
speed highways seems to be
most abused portion of the
law,” Dr. Brainerd explained.
“The use of the signals in
times like these would have
a profound effect on the num-
ber of costly and frequently
fatal accidents that occur at
a high rate of speed.”
BLEACH FOR WOOL
A sodium perborate bleach
is safe to use on woolen fab-
rics, explains Bernice Tharp,

specialist. © A chlorine bleach
damages the wool fiber and
if too strong it may dissolve
the fiber, Sodium perborate
bleaches are most effective
when used with water at a
temperature that would
shrink wool. However, sever-
al successive treatments with
warm water may give the re-
sults you want. Follow direc-
tions on container for use of
bleach.
