Inquiring Reporter on Saturday Sunday traffic safety
The Inquiring Reporter polls five residents on traffic protection at busy Saturday and Sunday nights. Suggestions include more signage near the Pella National Bank corner, police at Main and Franklin, and a stop and go system at Main and Franklin for weekend nights to reduce accidents. Residents differ on relying on officers versus automated control. A separate note mentions Corydon pilot Capt. Ginn setting a long distance flight record from Akyab to Hangovin Bangkok in 19 hours.
