Deaths Half Mile

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the Forest Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, modern lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. This is the story of a stretch of highway outside of Nadi Pine called Death's Half-Mile. Along this half-mile there are three killers.

One is an extremely sharp curve. The second killer is a narrow bridge just around the sharp curve. The third killer is a railroad crossing, where the trains come roaring out of a narrow valley and across the highway.

This is the place where, on the average, there are three accidents a week. Let's find out how Bill and his rangers correct this horrible stretch of road in the story, Death's Half Mile. On one side of the highway, called Death's Half Mile, mountains drop to the edge of the road, except where a narrow valley opens up.

Along this valley runs a small river and a railroad track. On the other side of the road, the ground is fairly level, and there's a ranch. Bruno Allen and his family live there close to the highway in the comfortable home.

It's about midnight and Bruno and his son Eric are sleeping. Hey, hey pop, wake up. I heard it son. You get the first aid, I'll call the police. Okay pop, my jeans and shoes aren't in a hurry.

Good boy. I wonder if I should ever stop. Let's go son. I'll meet you on front. Operator this is Bruno Allen. notify the state police that there's been another accident on this half mile my son and I are getting out there to give first aid first pop and looks like a hit on collision
