Nick Agouridis of Lancast- er said Monday that if all goes well, the Big T drive-in on West Main street, opposite Weis Markets, will open its doors for business one day next week.

Although there are more Americans than ever before driving the nation’s sprawling network of highways, the au- tomobile fatality rate per 100 million miles traveled has shown a perceptible decline. The principal decline (from a 5.5 fatality rate in 1965 to a 5.2 figure this past year) came since nationai vehicle and tracic safety laws were passed by Congress in 1966. A key provision of these regulations called for installa- tion ‘of four-way warning lights (‘flashers’) as standard equipment on all trucks and autos licensed in the fifty states. For the Signal-Stat di- vision of Lehigh Valley In- dustries, a long campaign for greater safety has finally ac- hieved success. For the past 15 years, Sig- nal-Stat specialists in the de- sign and truck safety equip- ment, has been plugging for adoption of flasher systems on the front and rear of the trucks and autos. Not without coincidence, it was Signal- Stat which first received a patent in 1940 for “electrical- ly-actuated, automatic, illum- inated warning systems for vehicles.” Ralph J. Weiger, Lehigh executive vice president who oversees the operations at Signal-Stat, pointed to the role of flashers and reflectors as prime vehicular safety de- vices. “Our flashing devices and reflectors are designed to be visible from at least 600 feet on a moonless night along a dark country road. The len- ses in both a lighter warning system and on a reflector are made from non-breakable ac- rylics and designed to precise photometric tolerances.” A typical semi-truck trail- er for over-the-highway car- 9:30 a.m. Sunday Church School 10:45 a. m. ship.
