Constables P. T. Hart, G. Kluck and C. A. La Caze wearing the new gauntlets. Valley traffic police will shine in heavy night traffic at the Show this year. Chief of the Valley Police District (Inspector Clark) has issued ten traffic control men with special white gauntlets trimmed with luminous tape. The tape is designed to glow brilliantly in the light from ear headlamps. Inspector Clark said the gauntlets would make traffic control safer for police. "Motorists will be able to see them more clearly and follow their directions more easily," he said. Inspector Clark has been experimenting with designs for traffic control gauntlets for more than a year. November 11, 1955. (Photo by The Telegraph Feature Service).
