More Yellow for
Highway Markings
AUSTIN. Inside line pavement
markings on divided highways
will lake on a new color soon,
the Texas Highway Department
has announced.
Soon the inside edge line will
be yellow to conform to changes
in the Manual of Uniform Traf-
fic Control Devices issued by the
U. S. Department of Transporta-
tion. . ^
Previously both the inside apd
outside edge lines were painted
white. Painting the inaide edge-
line yellow will correspond with
the solid yellow center line on
undivided highways, which de-
notes s restriction against pass-
ing. Thus, the yellow edgellne
will serve as a reminder to avoid
crossing the median into oppoe-
in lanes of traffic.
Target date for changing the
markings In Tsxas and else-
where In the United States Is

ers and single red carnations in
the baskets ornamented the bal-
loons. Banners on top told the

Rail Cars Added to
State Railroad
AUSTIN.—In a coordinated ef-
fort between Gov. Dolph Briscoe,
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department and the U. S. De-
partment of Defense, Texas will
receive eight railroad cars from
the U. S. Army for use on the
Rusk-Palestin State Railroad.
Arrangements are being made
by the Parks and Wildlife De-
partment to take shipment of the
cars within the next two weeks.
Classified as surplus by the De-
fense Department, the eight cars
include a caboose, baggage car,
two passenger cars and four tank
cars.
The eight pieces of rolling
stock and an army steam engine
will be added to a steam engine
which was recently donated to
the state by Temple Industries.
The Texas State Railroad also
has a combination coach and
baggage car, a caboose, and two
100-seat commuter coaches.
Unique to the nation, the 26-
mile State Railroad will be part
of the state park system and run
between Palestine and Rusk.
Phase One of the railroad,
which included renovation of
tracks, rights-of-way and cars, is
slated for completion by the mid-
dle of 1974.
The second phase is still on
the drawing boards of the Parks
and Wildlife Department's Plan-
ning Section and will include the
construction of depots and turn-
arounds and parks along the rail-
road.
The cars will have new elec-
trical lines, restrooms and seat-
ing facilities and a fresh coat of
paint.
To prevent vandalism of en-
gines and rolling stock already
acquired, the department has
placed a guard on the valuable
equipment until it can be secur-
ed.

Take n look at the opectl of the MrongeM sustained wind*. In

United States an average of once every fifty years. These
ure ordinary winds; figures for gusts and tornados are not
included.
So-called "normal" winds
can cause major damage to
mobile homes if they are not
tied down correctly.
The devastation wreaked
by hurricanes and tornados

tistics show that approxi-
mately 13,000 mobile homes
will suffer more than $1,000
. each in damage from hurri-
c ine winds alone in an aver-
age. year.
Hut the dangers from wind-
storms are not limited to
these larger storms. Accord-

rector of the National

Down Month
Tie downs are a system of
steel straps or cables which
connect tne mobile home to
anchors imbedded in the
ground. A combination of
over-the-top and frame ties
is usually suggested. Typo of
equipment and number of
ties needed vary according
to size of the mobile homo,
soil type ot the location and
prevailing wind conditions in
the area. Average equipment
cost ranges from $90 to $150.
Contractor installation costs
vary with location. Mobile
homo owners can install tie
downs if thoy have the prop-
er equipment and Informa-
tion at their disposal.
Proper tio down Is one of
the most effective means of
reducing mobile home wind
damage. For greatest safety,
mobile home owners and
their families are urged to go
to a designated storm shelter
during high windstorms.

equipment and procedure, is

cations Center (MLCC). P.O.
