Residents concerned for children
Traffic problem at Stouffer
Excessive speeding and hazardous traffic conditions are growing problems at Stouffer Place, said Mrs. Judy Freed, Stouffer Place resident.
Mrs. Freed is especially concerned about the danger to children playing near the street from careless drivers speeding down Ellis Street.
When asked about the situation, Ernest E. Pulliam, assistant director of housing, refused to comment, calling Mrs. Freed's charge "idle gossip."
"We have done all we can."
Pulliam said "Signs have been posted and the area is patrolled."
Last summer, Stouffer residents presented a petition to the director of housing, requesting a reduction in the speed limit and the posting of signs.
This hasn't been much improvement, Mrs. Freed said.
In compliance with the request, the speed limit was lowered to 20 m.p.h. and several "Slow, Children at Play" signs were posted, along with one "Yield" sign.
"The signs are irrationally put," said Robert Godbout, New Hampshire graduate student and
Stouffer resident. He was referring to the lone "Yield" sign in the south-bound lane at the intersection of Ellis and Bagley Streets.
"Nobody yields," he said, "because we feel the sign shouldn't be there in the first place."
Several residents suggested that stop signs be placed at the intersection. This intersection is especially hazardous since children frequently play near this area. There have been several accidents near the intersection in the past few years. One woman said she had seen several children almost run over after chasing a ball into the street.
Residents who live farther from the intersection do not seem to be as aware of the problem as those who can sit at their windows and see the cars speed by.
are old enough to play outside, she has become worried about the situation.
"Not everyone who uses the road speeds," said Mrs. Freed. "It seems to be the same few residents who do it."
Godbout also mentioned the need for more patrolmen to police the area.

One resident suggested that mothers should keep a closer watch on their children so drivers wouldn't have to worry about them running into the street.
In talking with Stouffer residents, a noticeable difference in concern can be seen between those who have small children and residents who are childless.
One woman said she had heard about the problem for several years but now that her children

Why is a Business Administration graduate like Chuck Carpenter glad he chose Ford Motor Company?
"You don't get lost in the numbers."
"You retain your individuality," says Chuck Carpenter, a Business Management Specialist in the Detroit District Sales Office, "because people know each other here."
An extraordinary example? Not at Ford Motor Company. Chuck wasn't even sure where he'd fit in the automobile industry when he started in 1968. "Now, I know where I'm going. It took about a year to get a solid business background. I'm doing what I like best—meeting with people, analyzing their problems, finding solutions. And it looks like I'll reach my goal, District Sales Manager,
much sooner than I expected."
What about Chuck's rapid advancement? "Not everyone can go as far as fast," he admits. "It depends on how much of yourself you put into your job." Naturally, Chuck's wholehearted interest got noticed at Ford Motor Company. And his future is unlimited. Yours could be, too. Provided you're interested, and a college graduate, and looking for a challenge.
There are many opportunities open to graduates in Business in fields like—Accounting, Financial Management, Purchasing, Traffic Sales, Manufacturing Operations,
