TRAFFIC TIDBITS®GETS STUCK IN

“Traffic” comes from the Italian “traffico” meaning “to trade.”

DANGERS OF DRIVING

When autos were a new invention, Tennessee passed a law stating that any motorist who planned on taking a ride had to forewarn the community by placing notices in the local paper a week before the ride was to occur. In 1912 Nebraska passed a law stating all drivers at night had to shoot off a rocket every 150 yards, wait eight minutes, then drive ahead while blowing the horn and firing Roman candles.

by Janet Spencer On August 5, 1914, a stoplight was installed on the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. It had two colors, red and green, and a buzzer to provide a warning for color changes. This allowed police and fire stations to control the signals in case of emergency. It was the world’s first traffic light. Come along with Tidbits as we fight our way through traffic!

If you are between 5 and 35, you’re more likely to die in a traffic accident than from any other single cause. One out of every 60 children born today will die in an auto accident. Traffic accidents take twice as many lives as do guns, knives, and all other weapons combined.

Helping Hand

• William Phelps Eno was nine years old in 1867 when he went to New York City with his mother. When the performance at the New York Opera House let out, their horse and carriage got involved in the subsequent traffic jam which required two hours to untangle, even though only a dozen carriages were involved. Eno never forgot the experience, and devoted the rest of his life to improving traffic control.

• This became increasingly important as horses were replaced by cars on the streets of the nation. In 1903 Eno published “Rules of Driving” which became a primer for drivers. He invented such rules of the road as slow traffic keep right and passing allowed on the left only. He invented oneway streets, safety islands, rotary traffic, pedestrian crosswalks, the stop sign, the taxi stand, and traffic cops.

• Still, Eno felt that stoplights would never work and traffic cops would always be needed at intersections. He preferred rotaries to stop signals as the best way to keep traffic flowing. This concept strongly influenced the building of Piccadilly Circus in London and the rotary around the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government after World War I because his traffic system allowed the French to speed 60,000 troops to Verdun to halt the German advance toward Paris and turn the tide of the war.

• Eno lived long enough to see his ideas implemented throughout the country.

He also made many trips to Europe and Asia to help them with their traffic control problems. William Eno died in 1945 at the age of 86. Throughout his life, William Eno, known today as “the father of traffic safety,” hated to drive.

His chauffeur drove him everywhere.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle The Vision, The Venture, & The Victory

Have you ever set out to do something that you believed was the right thing to do and God had other plans? I know I have built my case and presented my plans before the Lord only to find God redirecting my path. Psalm 37:23 says “The steps of good men are directed by the Lord. He delights in each step they take.” This has applied to me personally, my family,

finances, moves, business, decisions, dating, church……

I also believe the “stops” of good men are ordered by the Lord. We must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. It is vitally important for all of us to do things God’s way and not our way personally and corporately. If we insist on having our way, God may do something that we won’t like in the end…. He may let us do it our way. Been there, done that!! We should pray every day, “Lord, I am available today for you to tell me where to go, what to do, what to say, when to say it, and when to do it.” The vision is to see ahead, the venture is to take the steps in moving forward, and the victory is knowing you are being used to make a difference.

• Although William Eno invented the stop sign, it was the Mississippi Valley Association of State Highway Departments who came up with the sign’s iconic shape. In 1923, they developed a system of street-sign shapes still used today. Their idea was that the more sides a sign has, the higher the danger level it invokes. They reasoned that the circle, which has an infinite number of sides, screamed danger, so it was used for railroad crossings. The octagon, with its eight sides, was used for stop signs, the diamond shape was for warning signs, and the rectangle and square shapes were used for informational signs.

• It took a bit longer to determine the stop sign’s color. It wasn’t until 1935 that traffic engineers created the first uniform standards for the nation’s road signage. They recommended stop signs be yellow with black letters. The 1954 revision, however, called for the stop sign to be red with white letters. Before then, they could not produce a reflective material in red that would last without fading. It just was not durable. It wasn’t until a suitable product was invented in the 1950s that stop signs became red.

Remember folks, stop lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for 70 mph.

ACCIDENTAL SIGNS

• In 1751 George II of England erased a debt he owed to George Deakins by telling him he could have 600 acres of land in Maryland. Deakins was determined to get the best 600 acres he could, so he hired two sets of surveyors to look over the land and tell him what they thought. Neither team knew about the other team, so Deakins was amazed when each group recommended the same plot. Deakins considered this an accident of fate and dubbed the land “The Accidental Tract.” Today the town that grew up there is known as Accident, Maryland. They have trouble preventing their interstate signs from being stolen.

The signs say, “Accident Ahead.”

UNIQUE TRAFFIC CONTROL

• The town park in Napa, California had plenty of traffic control signs, stop signs, and signs asking drivers to slow down.

Still, the park was plagued by accidents.

Finally the City Park Superintendent purchased 85 chickens, releasing them in the park to act as traffic controls.

The chickens did nothing except strut around, completely oblivious to all traffic. But drivers were so reluctant to run over the birds as they wandered around on the roads that they slowed down considerably. The accident rate plunged and only nine birds were lost the first year.

R.I.P.

There is no traffic until you need to make a left turn!!

• On November 16, 1983, folks in Caldwell, Idaho removed “Red-Eyed Pete,” the last traffic light on Interstate 80. After its demise, people were able to drive coast-to-coast nonstop. Three morticians were on duty when Red-Eyed Pete was dismantled, laid out in a horse-drawn hearse, and carried a mile to his grave.

The mayor delivered a eulogy as the casket was lowered into the ground. His headstone read, “Here lies Red-Eyed Pete, the one red light you need no longer beat.”

Famous Canadians

HENRY SETH TAYLOR

• Henry Seth Taylor was a natural tinkerer and a watchmaker by profession. Born in Stanstead, Quebec, in 1833, he loved to experiment with machines. He invented the first sofa-bed and an early version of a phonograph. He is best known, however, for building Canada’s first steam-powered car.

• Self-propelled steam-powered horseless carriages had been around for years by the time Taylor unveiled his own model, but Taylor’s had the distinction of being the first car built in Canada.

• He designed the steam buggy and created much of it himself, machining cylinders, drive shafts, and axles. The boiler was at the rear of the carriage and was connected to a front water tank by two rubber hoses. A hand throttle controlled the speed both forward and reverse, and a tiller controlled the steering. Because the local roads were badly rutted and there seemed little chance of Taylor’s losing control, he never installed brakes, an oversight he would later regret.

• In September of 1867, the Stanstead Journal reported on the newly completed “steam buggy,” which was to be unveiled at the upcoming Stanstead Fair. “This mechanical curiosity is the neatest thing of the kind yet invented, the whole carriage, engine and boiler only weighing 500 lbs. It is intended to run without noise or smoke, and will probably show some fast time.”

• The day that Taylor drove his new buggy onto a field at the Stanstead Fair, a hose burst, releasing steam and bringing the vehicle to a halt. Taylor had to push it off the field amid ridicule from onlookers. Despite the humiliation, Taylor made the necessary repairs and continued to drive his steam buggy around town.

• On a subsequent drive through the village, however, Taylor and his car were involved in what might be described as the first automobile accident in Canadian history. While descending a steep hill, the car began to pick up speed, careening out of control. Without any brakes and with a fully stoked, scalding-hot boiler at his back, he had no choice but to jump out of the vehicle, which overturned at the bottom of the hill. The car was a wreck, and its frustrated builder gave up on it, turning his attention instead to building a steam-powered yacht.

• After salvaging its boiler for his new yacht, Taylor scrapped the car in the back of his barn, where it languished until long after his death in 1887. It was nearly a century before it was re-discovered and taken to the United States.

Restored by an antique car buff (this time with brakes added), it was returned to Canada, where it is now the property of the Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa. Finally receiving the recognition it deserved, “Taylor’s Folly” was depicted on a stamp in 1993.

• In 1904 Canada’s automotive industry began with the establishment of Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. By 1913 there were some 50,000 motor vehicles in Canada; between 1918 and 1923, Canada became the world’s second largest vehicle producer and a major exporter of automobiles and auto parts.

• Today, Canada is the eighth largest auto producer in the world and the third largest exporter, after Japan and the U.S. More than 80% of Canadian-made cars are exported.

The automotive industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Canada. Canada has one of the world’s highest ratios of automobiles to inhabitants, with more than 33 million people and more than 18 million registered automobiles, of which more than 75% are private cars.

MISSISSIPPI

1. The average driver is involved in a car accident once every ten years.

2. More auto accidents happen between 6:00 p.m. and midnight on Saturday nights than any other time period during the week.

When humans first settled the eastern seaboard, jays were common there. As more and more people began moving in, jays disappeared from the cities and were found only in the country. Country hicks who lived where the jays lived came to be known as jays. When they came to the city, they were too ignorant to follow the traffic laws. They crossed in the middle of the streets. This became known as jay-walking.

Niacin’s Dark Side

We can add one more item to the list of things we thought were good for us ... and now know probably aren’t: niacin, aka vitamin B-3.

Many of us with troublesome cholesterol levels have been on statins to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. Niacin has been added to our list of go-to drugs for many years because when combined with statins, it is known to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol and raise the level of the good (HDL) cholesterol. So far, so good.

However, new research reported in The New England Journal of Medicine has determined that: 1) statins alone do a good job of preventing strokes and heart attacks, and 2) just because niacin has helped folks achieve better LDL and HDL numbers doesn’t mean that it helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks.

Turns out it doesn’t.

Even worse, niacin can have its own set of side effects. Some are merely annoying (flushing, which can be offset by pairing niacin with laropiprant), while others are serious (gastrointestinal problems, bleeding, rashes and ulcers). Those in the study who took niacin were 32 percent more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes. One-third of participants dropped out because of problems caused by the niacin. An earlier clinical study was actually stopped when researchers found there was no difference between the niacin and a placebo, and discovered the same side effects.

If you’ve been prescribed niacin to go along with your statins for heart-attack or stroke prevention, talk to your doctor about whether you should continue to use it. At the same time, don’t try this on your own! Get medical advice before either starting or stopping therapeutic doses of niacin.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

Summer Heat, Drought Take Toll on Lawn

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● It was ancient Greek philosopher Plato who made the following sage observation: “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” ● How would you like to brush your teeth with salt, chalk or ground brick? The first tooth powders that were used with toothbrushes were made of just such materials. ● When you think of hibernating bears, you typically imagine some cozy cave in the woods, right? Well, the next time you’re out for a winter hike, you’d better pay close attention to exactly where you’re going; some bears spend the cold season curled up on the ground in large nests made of branches. ● Greyhounds have better vision than any other breed of dog. ● Every May, horse lovers flock to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to see the world’s finest thoroughbreds race in the Kentucky Derby. While there, spectators will collectively consume more than 1,800 gallons of mint juleps. ● If you’re a cat lover, you might not be surprised to learn that a group of felines can be referred to as a glaring, a pounce, a clutter or a clowder. Feral cats en masses are known as a destruction of cats. ● People who sustain brain injuries can suffer from a variety of maladies. One of the stranger ones is anosognosia. The victim suffers from some sort of disability, such as losing the ability to move a limb, but that’s not unusual; what makes anosognosia so fascinating is that the person suffering from the limitation seems completely unable to believe that any limitation exists, despite voluminous evidence to the contrary.

I use to eat natural causes!

Run the sprinklers for 30 minutes, then natural foods... record the depth of the water in each can.

Add those depths together and divide by five. Then adjust your watering time accordingly. For example, if you average a half inch of water in 30 minutes, you’ll need to water for one hour to get an inch. ● Don’t mow stressed-out grass: A newly mowed lawn loses extra water through the cut grass blades. Wait until your lawn greens up again after rain or watering. ● Don’t water during the heat of the day; a lot of the water will evaporate before ever reaching the roots. Many communities with water restrictions ban sprinkler use

between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for just that reason.

● Aerate older lawns to make it easier

The first auto fatality happened in London in 896 when Bridget Driscoll froze in fear at the sight of an oncoming car, which knocked her down (while travelling only 4 mph) and killed her. The first speeding ticket was issued to Walter Arnold in 1896 for travelling 8 mph through Wood England, thus exhibiting "shocking disregard for health and civility."

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

● “Every member of our family has a plastic bin in his/her closet to hold items not currently in use. For the littler ones, it’s hand-medowns that are still a little too big. For my husband and myself, it’s out of season items.

And for everyone, there is a bin in the garage where we place useable items that no longer fit. Whenever it’s full, we either donate it or start planning our next tag sale.” -- A.E. in Massachusetts ● If you have to talk to someone at the cable company, call on a Thursday (unless it’s urgent), as that’s the day they tend to have the fastest response times, experts say.

● Use a salad spinner to gently “wring out” delicate hand washables. Remove excess water, and then hang dry or lay flat, according to the garment’s instruction. ● Here’s an oldie but a goodie! Iced coffee is at its best when brewed with twice the usual amount of ground coffee, because the coffee is diluted by the melting ice cubes. Or use regular-strength brewed ice coffee and serve over coffee ice cubes. They’re easy to prepare: Pour cool brewed coffee into ice-cube trays and freeze.

What is the difference between man and Superman?

● Clear bins make it easy to group like items in your pantry. You can remove the bin, get what you need and replace it rather than digging through cans and boxes on a shelf and having to straighten it back up when you’re done.

A: Man wears underwear under the trouser and superman wears it over the trouser.

● On Aug. 17, 1933, New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig plays in his 1,308th consecutive game, breaking former Yankee Everett Scott’s record for consecutive games played. Gehrig would go on to play in 2,130 games in a row, setting a record that would stand for over half a century. ● On Aug. 13, 1948, U.S. and British planes airlift a record amount of supplies into sections of Berlin under American and British control. Despite terrible weather, crowded airspace and exhaustion of the pilots and crews, more than 700 British and American planes brought in nearly 5,000 tons of supplies. ● On Aug. 12, 1953, less than a year after the United States tested its first hydrogen bomb, the Soviets detonate a 400-kiloton device in Kazakhstan. Known as the “Layer Cake,” the bomb was fueled by layers of uranium and lithium deuteride, a hydrogen isotope. ● On Aug. 15, 1969, the Woodstock Music Festival opens on a patch of farmland in White Lake, New York. By the time the gates opened, more than 400,000 people were clamoring to get in. Those without tickets simply walked through gaps in the fences, and the organizers were eventually forced to make the event free of charge. ● On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson purchases the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding even Paul McCartney.

In later years, the catalog -- now estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion -- allowed Jackson to remain solvent by serving as collateral for several enormous personal loans. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
