WI AIDS SAFETY — District roads in the
Echo Hill area, 35 miles northwest of Edmonton
are safer at night because of the Echo Hill
Women's Institute. Concerned over the hazards
posed by poorly marked machinery travelling
the roads, the WI raised $ 180 for nearly 200
yards of red reflective tape. With the aid of the
Echo Hill 4- H Club, the WI had the tape placed
in nearly 300 pieces of machinery along a 10-
mile portion of a district road. Official commendation
recently was given the project by the
Alberta Safety Council with an Outstanding
Achievement plaque. The picture shows Mrs.
William Price and Mrs. Lloyd McMillan, members
of the Echo Hill Women's Institute safety
committee, receiving the plaque from William
Perkins, the council's farm safety director.
