STATE PATROL GETS
OPERATION ORDERS
Trotter Orders Longer Man Hours
To Curb Highway Heaths in Slate
ATLANTA. May 7— (GPS)
With Georgia’s traffic death toll
continuing to mount, Col. Wil
liam P. Trotter, director of the
State Department of Public
Safety, has ordered new opera
tional procedures for the High
way Patrol, including longer
tours of duty.
The order, the first of its kind
issued by Col. Trotter since he
became director in late Feb
ruary, was in the form of an of
ficial memorandum from Major
R. H. Burson, commanding of
ficer, to commanders of all 35
posts throughout the state.
“Accidents and fatalities con
tinue to mount,” the memoran
dum said. “Therefore, it is im
perative that more time and at
tention be devoted to patrolling
and enforcement of our traffic
laws. In view of the problem
with which we are confronted,
the director is desirous of all
post commanders effectuating

an immediate policy of longer
I hours of duty.”
The new work schedule calls
for troopers to be on active duty
approximately ten hours on
Mondays through Thursdays and
approximately twelve hours on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sun
days. Heretofore, they were re
quired to be on duty for eight
and ten hours, respectively, on
those days. The order also in
structs troopers to park and ob
serve traffic in the more con
gested areas for oneto two hours
daily.
“There were 23 more traffic
deaths reported in Georgia dur
ing April than in the same
month last year,” Col. Trotter
declared. “That brought the
total to 299 fatalities for the
first four months, an increase of
33 lives lost, or a 12 per cent in
crease.
“By having more patrols
spending more time on the roads
we anticipate a reduction in
time in the number of accidents
and resultant deaths. Our dedi
cated troopers will be doing
everything within their power to
maintain safety on the high-
I ways. However, the motorists
। themselves must cooperate and
do their part by obeying all traf
fic laws. And those who don’t
I likely will find themselves in
I serious trouble.”
Meanwhile, the State Patrol’s
“Flying Squadron”—that special
detail which sets up roadblocks
to stop motorists and inspect
their driver licenses and the
physical condition of their ve
hicles—will continue its opera
tion.
The special unit, composed of
from eight to 4 troopers under
the command of Capt. 2 W. A.
(Deacon) Jones operates at
unnounced strategic points
throughout the state, particu
larly on heavily-traveled ar
teries.
Since March 16, when the pro
gram was inaugurated, through
April 30, the troopers stopped
and inspected 38,330 vehicles.
They made 333 arrests (314
Georgians and 19 out-of-staters)
and issued 1.083 warning tickets,
944 of these going to Georgia
motorists and 139 to those from
other states.
A breakdown of the 333 arrests
showed these charges were

Next to rock *n roll, Elvis Presley and Eddie Fisher, teen
agers seem to be going for iced tea in a big way.
The new rage is the switch to iced tea. They’re about to
immortalize the old-fashioned
icicle in the name and shape of
TEASICLES.
It ail started when a few teen
agers — or should we say tean
agers, discovered that iced tea
had practically no calories (and
what teenager isn't interested in
calories these days?). Teasicles
