Bands July Holiday, Urge Rigid Crackdown Will (An Editorial) there were 466 fireworks deaths United States. Last year there was only one. a record of progress. Back in 1903 a rather ridiculous looking machine was sputtering into being. Last year that machine evolving from the ungainly horseless carriage into the sleek and powerful automobile claimed 407 lives during the Fourth of July holiday. Thus the net gain in our efforts to avoid holiday seems to be about zero. Yet there is airpqr 41L n4 ".a, ,3:: 4', At, Appear at Celebrations In 1903 a lesson to be learned here. Firework deaths on the Fourth have been almost eliminated because thinking persons revolted at such senseless killing, and state by state the sale and use of dangerous fireworks were prohibited. No one, of course, is advocating that the sale or use of automobiles be banned. But we strongly urge the outlawing of their misuse. Most people want to use their car safely. But in every society there is always a minority of reckless and irresponsible drivers who turn a deaf ear to all appeals for prudent and commonsense behavior. It is for this group that the National Safety Council and the International Chiefs of Police have jointly recommended a rigid law enforcement policy by all police agencies during the Fourth of July celebration. We strongly support this recommendation. A traffic accident emergency faces this country, with a new high death toll in prospect. It is time to stop temporizing with this problem. The Fourth of July holiday is a good time to start getting tough. The Box Elder High school marching band will participate in the Cache Valley Centennial parade to be held in Logan on Wednesday morning, July 4, while the cadet band will travel to Corinne the same morning to appear in the Fourth of July parade being held there at 11 a. m., according to Wayne Johnson, instructor. all-ti- tS NEW HEADGEAR Vandals added a hilarious note to the statue honoring the World War H dead last week when they removed the sign from one of the rubber pedestrian over the socrossing pedestals, placed it carnival-fashio- n Temperatures Drop Grass Fires ldiers helmet. With Cool Breezes Slight Increase Noted in Unemployment Brigham Citys degree weather of last week was cooled suddenly Saturday evening with the arrival of cooling breezes in this locality. Sunday and Mondays highs were in the middle eighties with strong winds blowing Sunday night and moderate breezes continuing Monday. The high and low temperatures recorded by Charles Clifford, Brigham Citys genial weather man, are listed below: Benefits in Utah Effective This Week A new weekly maximum employment benefit amount will be effective July 2, said Curtis P. Harding, administrator of the state employment security Tied directly to the states growing and. stronger economy, newly unemployment claimants may receiye up to $35 weekly in jobless benefits after July 2, he 6aid. t ' Harding pointed out that 1955 legislation provided art automatic formula which can move the benefit maximum weekly ;up or down, depending on the average level of the States insured wages. He urged that both Jobless pay claimints and employers be clear on two points. that workers whose First, gross, average pay before any less than deductions $70 per week will not get the new maximum of $35 per week. Their jobless pay, he said, will still be about half of their average individual earnings. The only workers eligible for more than the old limit of $33 in ben-fit- s will be those workers who earned more than $60 in wages. who Second, that anyone started filing claims for unembefore ployment compensation July 2, - this year, will continue to receive the old maximum of $33 a week. Harding pointed out that in years past, the legislature had set up the maximum weekly benefit amount by amendments to the State Employment Security Act. But in 1955, he said, the automatic feature was added after full concurrence by both management and labor. The increase in average weekly wages in insured industries, from $66 in 1954, to $70 last year brings about the present increase in maximum weekly benefit amount to $35, he said. There is no change in the minimum amount of $10 per week, said Mr. Harding. has-been s Birdhaven Bowmen Slate Tournament The Birdhaven dowiien? local archery enthusiasts, have -scheduled a tournament to.be- held July 8, at 2 p. m., at the field course, south of Mantua.
