Huge Maintenance Program Is Told Over a thousand miles of maintenance gravel resurfac ing fe proposed by the state highway department for a let ting to be held on August 24. c State Engineer Fred Klietsch says that it is highly unusual to take bids on so large a mile age at one time. The 1,222 miles of highway to be affected are nearly a fourth of the total gravel surfaced mileage on the state maintained system. The work will be divided into 62 unit* and will be car ried on in 42 counties of the state. Nearly 135 thousand cubic yards of gravel, weigh in about 362 million pounds, will be p’aced on these high ways. Since almost all of the gravel will come from Nebraska rivens and streams, most of the mat erial will be trucked to the sites where it will be used. Nearljt 27 thousand trucks, each carrying 6 % tons, would be required to | move all the gravel at once, j Parked bumper - to - bumper, ; these trucks would form a cav- 1 avan over a hundred miles long Some of the gravel will be moved across Nebraska in rail roads gondola cars. Most of these cars carry 40 cubic yards of gravel and are about 42 feet long. A train nearly 27 miles long would be needed to trans port all the gravel to be used on the maintenance projects in the August 24 letting. More gravel is needed on the roads during unusually wet seasons, such as most of the state has had this summer, accord ing to Klietoch.

Phone 74 O’Neill ♦ When accident taps a worker on the shoulder and calls " Time Out,” it may be for £ day, a week, a month—or forever! Every year time runs out for some 16,000 workers, killed in action on their jobs. 80,000 are so severely injured that they may never work again. Two million are injured in greater or lesser degree. The cost to workers and industry—$4,500,000,000 annually. Over eighteen and a half million dollars every working day. When you’re inclined to be a bit careless, a little too tired to be cautious, remember, every 32 minutes some worker gets "tapped for life,” every 16 seconds one is injured, temporarily or permanently. Know your job, be alert while on it. Vehicle accidents art the No. 1 killers and cause most permanent disabilities. Machinery is the principal soured for partially disabling injuries, while the handling of objects knocks out more workert temporarily. Falls are occurring continuously, in all kinds of wqrk, and cause anything from a slight injury to death. So watch yourself at work. Thir.k safely—use your head to save your job—maybe your life!
