Letters will be used as numbers to designate the routes Lt.-Col. F. S. Wotton, civil de fence co-ordinator for Oshawa and Ontario County, commented The purpose of this civil: de fence marker is to mark evacua tion routes from each potential large city target.

Wotton POSITIVE APPROACH The new system, regarding traffic signs, will be the positive approach rather than the nega tive. The signs will show motor ists what they can do, not they cannot do Experts say the average motor ist sees a sign coming, but doesn't know what it says until he gets close enough to read the printing He then has to make up his mind : suddenly, what to do The Good Roads Association claims that if a motorist can sec a sign two blocks away, and knows instantly what it means, he or she has plenty of time to de- cide what to do Standardization will not only re- move a substantial source of con fusion on the roads and streets the Association claims, but will simplify the work of traffic regu lation, save the taxpayer money and' contribute to the reduction |of highway accidents Sign wordage will. be greatly reduced, Black arrows enclosed {in green circles point out the di. rections which traffic may pro ceed. They are larger than the signs now in use. School crossing signs will be figures of a boy and girl silhouetted in white against a blue background.
