deny VOLUME 72 NUMBER 210 MOUNT CAR.MIL, ILLINOIS. MONDAY. JULY 10, 1972 1 SECTION 6 PAGES TEN CENTS Today's Hews Clips LCaL Center road stripes take on a neu look By Joan Muraro Copley News Service By United Press International The moon's shadow will sweep across the earth today at more than 1,000 miles hour during an eclipse of the sun. A total eclipse will occur alonga 113 mile-wide strip starting just north of Japan and ending in the North Atlantic as the moon comes between the sun and the earth. A partial eclipse will be in America, ranging from about 14 percent in San Francisco to 90 percent in Boston.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -The Pentagon Papers trial of Daniel finally begins today and it could bring a parade of former government officials testifying about the practice of "leaking" classified information. i where it is forbidden for some reason to pull onto the shoulder at that point In those cases, the edges along the prohibited areas will be painted yellow. As in the past, a solid line on the driver's side of the center line will indicate a no-passing area, and solid lines on both sides of the center line will indicate no passing in either Broken lines on a driver's side of the center line will indicate passing 4s-permitted when conditions allow, Craven said. Changes in signals will not be. extensive.

Craven said, concerning chiefly such requirements as a yellow arrow following a green arrow, to warn turning traffic the signal is about to change, and addition of a flashing interval on "walk-don't walk" signs, to indicate that pedestrians already in the intersection can continue but others should not start to cross. Most extensive changes of all will be in the new European type roadsigns which will soon be going up. For instance. Craven said, new signs Indicating presence of a school will be pentagonal, with the point of the five-sided signs at the top, suggesting the outline of a school house. Yield signs will be red and white instead of the present yellow and black, and new universal symbols for varying Springfield Highways in Illinois are taking on a new look, with a system of dotted and solid white and yellow lines painted down the road centers.

Robert Craven engineer of traffic operations in the bureau' traffic, state department of transportation, said the lines are being re-done to comply with a recently issued federal manual of uniform traffic devices. The state manual is being re-done, as well, to comply with the new federal regulations, under which the line markings must be completed by the end of this year, few sign requirements must be met by the end of 1974, and new signals installed where necessary by the end of 1976. Craven estimated that probably about one-third of the new striping had already been done on state roads. Under the new approach, when traffic in adjacent lanes is all moving in me same direction, as on Interstate routes, lines between them will-remain white. However, when traffic in adjacent lanes is moving in opposite directions, as on regular two-lane highways, the lines will be yellow.

The idea, Craven said, is chiefly to remind motorists who have been -delving nn Tntrtsta rniitai that ttiAw -n now on highways where oncoming traffic must be considered, ftklge lines will remain white, driven said, except in some rare instances on four-land highways THE DAY STARTED early and even finished naexpectedly early as the Mt.
