PAGE 2 THE RHfNEtANDER (W1S.) DAILT NEWS MARCH 22, 195? Lions Leam of Traffic Patrol's New Main Effort The main effort of tho "new" state traffic patrol and its enlarged staff is to reduce tho number of accidents in Wisconsin by heavy patrols of highways where statistics show the greatest number of mishaps take place, the ithifielandcr Lions Club was told 'Hnirsday night. Roland E. Lortscher, state traffic officer for this area, explained that records show G3 per cent of Wisconsin's traffic accidents happen oti oni.V 12 per cent of the state's road mileage. Thai's whv motorists on the busiest highways, Mich as Highways 12. 41 and 51, wttl see traffic officers in greater numbers than elsewhere in the Mate, he pointed out.

The patrol will concentrate its work also on weekends, over holidays and during late evening hours again because records show that is when most of the serious accidents take place. With only 70 men in the patrol prior to 1956, the force was operated out of Madison. Now, with the augmentation of the staff, there are six district headquarters to supervise the work of officers. These are at Madison, Milwaukee, Fond du Lac, Wausau, Rico Lake and Eau Claire. Lortscher described the state police academy which he attended for 13V4 weeks at Camp McCoy this winter and told how an average day was spent.

He said 250 officers have been graduated from the school in less than a year. Two main courses during the dealt with accident investigations and legal questions. Other subjects included public relations, applied psychology, emergency childbirth measures, first aid, effective report writing, public speaking, the use of firearms, judo, fingerprinting, traffic control, apprehension of violators, chemi- testing methods and civil defense.

Vote April 15 Deadline For Signing of Soil Bank Contracts April 15 is tho last date flint farmers can sign Soil Bank Conservation Reserve contracts to begin in 1957, according to Carl sig, chairman of the county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Originally, the 'leadline was a month earlier. The chairman pointed out that the Inter closing date will give farmers a bettor opportunity to fit I their cropping plans In their new production pattern. Since land placed in the Conservation Reserve may ilot be used for the produc- I tion of crops for a period of years. the fewer acres available for cropping may require some ndjustment in the crops usually on the farm or in the fields used for their production.

The Conservation Reserve is the long-range program of the Soil Hank. Under it. farmers may sign contracts to divert general crop- laud from the production of crops to soil-and water-conservation uses, tree plantings, and wildlife protection for periods of throe, five or 10 years. Under tho five and 10-year contracts, farmers may earn payments of up to 80 per cent of the cost of establishing a conservation practice; all farmers who take part in the program will receive annual per-acrc payments for land in the reserve for the periods of their contracts when they remain in compliance with the program. Farmers who may need advice in planning their participation in the Conservation Reserve are urged to call at the county ASC office at an early date.

Plans Told for Samoset Summer Camp Program Plans aro complete for the 19571 Boy Scout summer camping program at Camp Tesomas, near Rhinolandor, and for tho Explorer canoe base, which will operate on the Flambeau River near Phillips, it was announced today by t'no Sa- mosot Boy Scout Council. Both will have seven-week sessions, starting June 23 and winding up Aug. 11, according to Edward Zahn, Wausau, Marathon District fieldman and director of Camp Tesomas again this year. The camping season was cut one week shorter than in recent years, because it was found that enrollment was not up to par during the former first period in mid-June.

Unit Camping Stressed. The aim this year is to get boys from each unit to go to camp together. In fact, tho slogan for tho camping season is: "It Pays. To Go to Camp. The emphasis will bo, first, on getting all the boys from one unit to attend camp the same period and, secondly, to try and got their unit loader to go with them.

There aro several advantages to the unit camping plan, Zahn pointed out. For one thing, the younger scouts will go to camp with their buddies as they sometimes hesitate to go alone. Also, it has been found that the year-round program of the troop has been improved where units attend summer camp as a unit. The canoe base program, which operated at Tesomas formerly, should prove more interesting than ever to the explorers and older scouts because the Flambeau River and its tributaries offer some of the finest canoeing experience anywhere in Wisconsin. Eugen Spindt, Rhinelander fieldman, wi be in charge of the base.
