New Accident Reporting Law Provisions

J. J. Gilliam, Director of the State Department of Public Safety, yesterday issued a digest, outlining provisions of the new "Florida Regulatory Traffic Law," passed by the last session of the Legislature. The law, applying to reporting of accidents, sets up the following provisions: Requires driver when involved in accident causing injury or death to stop immediately-render full assistance to injured and completely identify self. Requirement to immediately stop applies in cases where only property damage results. Driver striking unattended vehicle must stop and either make identity known to owner or operator, or leave written notice in conspicuous place on vehicle struck, giving name, address and license number. Drivers striking legally placed fixtures on or adjacent to highway (bridge, sign, barricade, etc.), must make reasonable effort to locate and notify owner and make identity known. Drivers involved in accident causing injury or death must notify, by quickest means of communication, nearest office of Highway Patrol or Sheriff. In cities notice must be given to local police department. Coroners, upon learning of death resulting from traffic accident required to notify nearest office or station of Department of Public Safety. Driver involved in accident causing death, injury or property damage totaling $50 or more ($50.00 is total of all damages in accident) must submit written report on form furnished by Department of Public Safety to that department within 24 hours after accident. Department may require supplemental information from driver if original report is not sufficient or incomplete. All law enforcement officers required to submit report of investigated accident. Occupant of vehicle to submit report if driver is rendered incapable of doing so. Department of Public Safety to furnish all forms to be used by operators, officers and distribute forms throughout state where they may be obtained by persons in accidents. Coroners to report to Department of Public Safety on 10th of every month, death of any persons in his jurisdiction resulting from motor vehicle accident. All reports and information on accidents submitted by operators to be confidential and may not be used as evidence in any trial. Information to be used solely for accident prevention purposes. Department of Public Safety to tabulate and analzye accident reports and publish information on accident experience, number, circumstances, causes, etc. Any incorporated city, town, village or municipality may, by ordinance, require driver involved in accident to submit report to that local department. Such report may be copy of report submitted to State Department and would be for confidential use of local department.

"Eye Stones" Provide Money For Floridians

DELRAY BEACH (PNS). - Most folks never heard of "eye stones," and if asked would guess them to be some new disease discovered by oculists. But to residents of Delray Beach they are a source of income, though to most beach visitors the income is of the pin-money type. Sifting through the sands of Delray Beach, however, in search of the tiny fragments of shell used by oculists to remove foreign bodies from the eye, proved an interesting diversion while otherwise waiting for a sun tan to appear. New York oculist supply houses pay $4 a thousand for the rounded bits of shell, and report a shortage in the "crop."

Rutledge Is Successor To L. W. Marvin

LAKELAND (FNS). - The resignation of L. W. Marvin, advertising manager of the Florida Citrus Commission, was accepted last week and Hughes Rutledge of New York was named as his successor, according to an announcement made here last week. The announcement said Marvin's resignation was prompted by a desire to be with his family, from which he had been separated for two years because of his position with the commission. The announcement further stated that N. F. Lawler, the commission's Washington representative since last fall, has been instructed to return to the Lakeland office to resume his duties in the public relations department. Chairman Swann appointed John M. Knight, Vero Beach, Charles A. Stewart, Lakeland, and Carrel E. Lindsey, Lakeland, as a committee to work with other industry groups and federal officials in giving citrus products a more prominent place in the defense nutritional program, and Walton Rex, Orlando, was appointed to represent the commission on the state defense production committee headed by Dr. Wilmon Newell, provost for agriculture for the University of Florida. Lindsey and Stewart, with A. S. Herlong, Leesburg, compose a committee named to investigate government priorities. "ROTORAMA" A "rotorama" showing revolving scenes along Jacksonville Beach is now under construction for display in the popular Florida State Exhibit at Atlantic City.

Highway Beautification Boosted By Billboard Control Legislation

Highway beautification received a tremendous boost when the 1941 Legislature enacted the outdoor advertising bill which promises to give visitors and homefolks a less obstructed view of Florida scenery as they travel up and down the thoroughfares of the state. While the measure does not prohibit the construction of billboards along Florida highways, it frees them from all signs from the outside line of the highway, thus removing the close-up obstacle shutting off the distant view which, in Florida, is one of the most entrancing of the state's attraction to tourists. After September 23, the date the law goes into effect, signs on the right-of-way or within that 15-foot no-man's-land, will be illegal and the man constructing them and the person or firm whose goods are advertised will be subject to a penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $300. Each month or portion thereof in which violation is committed will be considered a separate offense. By requiring a permit for the erection of signs, the act restricts all outdoor advertising outside of corporate limits. Former United States Senator William L. Hill has been named director of outdoor advertising law enforcement by Chairman Thomas A. Johnson of the State Road Department, directed by the the act to administer its provisions. Advertising Defined Under the provisions of the act "advertisement" means "any writing, printing, picture, painting, display, emblem, drawing, sign, or similar device intended to invite or to draw the attention of the public to any goods, merchandise, property, real or personal, business services, entertainment or amusement, manufactured, produced, bought, sold, conducted, furnished or dealt in by any person which is posted, painted, tacked, nailed or otherwise displayed outdoors on real property, and includes any part of an advertisement recognizable as such." The new law defines "advertising structure" to mean erected signs; "to cover, paint, cloth, paper, metal, palmist, or wooden advertisements, and the business of outdoor advertising. No person shall engage in or continue in the business of outdoor advertising in Florida outside of corporate limits of cities and towns without first obtaining a license, according to the act which also provides that no person shall construct, erect, operate, use, maintain, lease or post any outdoor advertising structure or sign or advertisement outside of cities and towns without a license, which costs $75 per year for one to eight counties, $200 for those operating in more than eight counties, and $15 per year for the use of the county in which the licensee operates. All fees are payable October 1. Bond of $2,500 is required. Persons operating only on their own property are exempted. Permit Required Each separate advertisement erected by licensees requires a permit under the law and every annual renewal of permit shall be accompanied by a fee at the rate of 2 cents per square foot for the area of the face of the advertisement with minimum fee of 50 cents for each advertisement. Each application for permit shall be accompanied by a certified copy of the contract or affidavit of the applicant or his agent that the owner or other person in control or possession of real property upon which such advertisement is erected has consented thereto. Holders of permits shall have the right to change the advertising copy on a structure without the payment of a second fee. All signs or structures for which permits have been issued must bear the serial numbers and the permittee is responsible for the removal of the days after the permit has expired. The act prohibits outdoor advertising within 100 feet of any church, school, cemetery, public park, public reservation, public playground, state or national forest, highway or railroad intersection outside incorporated cities or towns. It also prohibits signs which involve motion or rotation of any part of the structure or displaying intermittent lights, or which use the word "stop" or "danger," or presents or implies the need or requirement of stopping or existence of danger, on which is a copy or imitation of official signs. Signs placed on the inside of a curve or in any manner that may prevent persons using the highway from obtaining an unobstructed view of approaching vehicles are prohibited by the act. Exemptions Advertisements of farmers relating solely to farm produce, official notices, danger and precaution signs, no hunting or trespassing signs, signs denoting scenic or historic shrines, directions for public safety, historical marker and other uch ign are outdoor and other uses that are exempted from provisions of the act. The act provides that any advertisement, advertising sign or advertising structure which is constructed, erected, operated, used, maintained, posted or displayed in violation of the act, is declared to be a public and private nuisance and shall be forthwith removed, obliterated or abated by the state chairman or his representative, "and for that purpose they may enter upon private property without incurring any liability therefor." In cases where the sign is valued at $100 or more and bears the name of the owner written notice of the violation is required and 30 days' notice given for the owner to disprove violation of the act.

Editors Invited To Visit Camp

ATLANTA, Ga., August 14 (PNS). - Editors of Florida newspapers have been invited to make an inspection trip to one of the larger army camps in the state, in a letter from W. M. Hines, public relations assistant of the Quartermaster Department of the Fourth Corps Area, to Russell Kay, president of the Florida Press Association. The trip would include eat-ing in a soldier mess hall the regular menu, inspecting the bakeshop, refrigeration plants, shoe repair shops, subsistence warehouses and such other activities as the Quartermaster conducts on a post. There would be no unusual preparations for the newspaper group in order that the regular routine would not be interrupted and that the editors could see the activities just as they are regularly carried on.

May Raise War Banned Crops Here

Florida production of a number of crops which have been imported to this country from territories now cut off from international trade by the war is a probability if explorations of the Florida experimental station at Gainesville show that such production is possible and profitable. France, Greece, Holland, Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and other European countries have always supplied the United States with many of the commodities which reach the American table in various forms. Spinach seed from Holland and Denmark may be produced in Florida. In an effort to prove it, one Delray Beach seedsman has planted 100 acres of spinach for seed and is receiving the co-operation of the experiment station. French teasel, burrs from which are used by American mills for woolens are now only produced in this country in Oregon and New York, may be grown on Florida soil. French endives and the small-er variety of tomatoes used in the manufacture of tomato paste, much of which came from Italy, can be produced here. Psyllium, also coming from France and used for medicinal purposes, is being tried out near West Palm Beach. Paprika, imported from Czechoslovakia and Hungary, has been produced at the station and can be raised commercially in Florida. Seed of mustard and turnip, formerly brought in from Japan, can [TEXT LOST] wn in Florida. Station horticulturists declare that large scale plantings of these crops should not be made until the planter finds that the soil is suitable. They are, however, worthy of trial plantings and may prove commercially profitable. Plans for the complete mobilization of agriculture in Florida are under way under direction of the agricultural advisory committee of the State Defense Council. Sub-committees are being set up by Dr. Wilmon Newell, provost of agriculture at the University of Florida and chairman of the committee. William L. Wilson, director of State farmers' markets, also has under way a system of co-operation through which the farmers can deal directly with the purchasing officials of the Army and Navy.

Aged and Blind To Receive Aid

Florida's aged and blind will receive an immediate 10 per cent increase in funds available for pensions under an arrangement perfected by Governor Holland and Clayton Codrington, State Welfare Commissioner, last month. Dependent children will hape a 50 per cent increase and the welfare board will resume registration of WPA employees laid off under the 18-month's continuous employment rule. It was announced that the welfare board's regular annual appropriation of $3,400,000 will be budgeted over a 10-months' period instead of 12 months. The final two months will be financed by revenue from the new tax on horse race betting. Increase in the beverage tax revenue also will be available. Revenues from the new tax on wagering at horse race tracks will start with the December racing season. A supplementary budget for pensions will be made up in January for providing increased funds. Governor Holland, who promised increased aid for the aged and dependent during his campaign and followed it up by recommending the increased race-track tax to the 1941 Legislature, stated that unless war conditions interfere increased benefits can be expected from the new tax during the last five months of the fiscal year, which began July 1. In commenting on the resumption of certification of WPA workers taken from the rolls by the 18-months' employment law, Governor Holland stated that he is requesting that WPA workers in non-defense areas be used in work which can be turned into the defense program. "The sewing room projects, now being abandoned, could be used to supply sheets and other articles for army posts,"
