When the project is completed in a few months, and the information gathered and analyzed, Schmidt, Noyes and researchers in the other nine participating junior colleges throughout the country will have a better idea of the skill of junior college students in conducting a research project. They will also have gathered some valuable data regarding their community's feelings about the status of racial tensions today. ’ Keep walking What should you do when you're walking, half way across the street, and the signal suddenly says, "DON'T WALK"? "Your should keep walking," Lt Axton of Grass Valley office of the California Highway Patrol states. "Some people panic . when they're out there in traffic and they suddenly see ‘Wait’ or "Don't Walk' in front of them. But they shouldn't stop; they shouldn't worry. That signal is for people who haven't stepped off the curb yet, to let them know that there's not enough ‘Walk' time left for them to get across the street. The walker already on his way should continue," Many fatal accidents involve pedestrians, Lt, Axton said, and it is as important for walkers to understand the signals as for drivers, Whenever a traffic signal exhibiting the words “Walk” or "Wait" or "Don't Walk" is being used concurrently with regular green, amber and red light traffic signals, the pedestrian should watch for and obey the "Walk", "Wait", and ; "Don't Walk" signals. Drivers should obey the lights at all times, Lt. Axton said, In addition to providing educational assistance in colleges and universities, the VA has onthe-job training programs and high school completion training for .veterans with service after January 31, 1955, .
