THIS IS the contention of a nationally recognized accident investigator and authority on the type of tires and traction aids the motorist puts between his vehicle and icy or snowy road surfaces. Other safeguards include accident reconstruction Archie H. Easton. Eastons other qualifications for helping you survive the worst that winter can throw your way include 30 years of service as director of the University of Wisconsins Motor Vehicle Research Laboratory and 13 years as chairman of the National Safety Councils Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. Easton is currently serving ' as consulting enrineer for Safety Engineering Associates, a Madison, Wis., firm specializing in automotive accident in-- 1 vestigation and product liability. ago. Nationwide, the comparable employment population rate was 57.9 percent. Utahs nonagricultual employment is forecast to grow 1 2 percent during 1982, an Vi-- increase of approximately 10,000 new jobs. In 1981, nonagricultural employment averaged 558,000, an increase 7,200 jobs or 1.3 percent. REVISED EMPLOYMENT data for the second half of 1981 reflected a more favorable job climate in Utah than previously indicated. The unemployment rate declined to 6.0 percent in December after peaking at 6.3 percent in October. In the months ahead, the unemployment rate will likely edge higher and is expected to vary between percent. On an industrial basis, employment in manufacturing '2 December was 2,700 jobs above year-en- d 1980. Employment in the mining industry increased 8.5 percent to 21,600 jobs while employment in the contract construction industry declined from 29,900 to 28,500 in December 1981.

EXCESS inventories, reduced production and rising NATIONALLY, the economic outlook in 1982 is for continued recession in the first half with modest improvement in business conditions de- veloping during the second half of the year. Real Gross National Product, which measures the overall change in economic growth, is expected to decline percent in 1982 with an overall two compared percent gain in 1981. Econo- mic activity declined at an annual rate of 5 'A percent in the fourth quarter. The negative growth in Real Gross Na- tional Product should be less severe during the first half of 1982. The beginning of the current recession has now been officially designated as August 1981. Should business conditions in 1982 unfold as suggested above, the current recession would be similar in length to the average post-war 162-1- 7 percent range may ease somewhat in the months ahead, but are unlikely to drop below 15 percent. In the mortgage market, 13 percent continues as an important psychological and qualifying barrier.

Public acceptance of a variable or renegotiated-rat- e mortgage instrument will be an important factor in stimulating the residential construction industry. Its time to talk some more about the common cold. Weve entered the time of cooler weather unpredictable clothing situations that is, the fall season; and thats the time many people come down with colds. PREDISPOSING factors, such as host resistance, nutrition, chilling, enlarged tonsils, etc,, have not been specifically identified; but these factors and other concepts have been theorized as causative. They are not medically substantiated. Strangely, one school of thought is that many people THERES SOMETHING to this, but, in my opinion, if you get a sufficient dose of the causative virus, youre going to catch a cold! There are about a hundred causative viruses including rhino and adenoviruses, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, the echo and coxsackie viruses.

It can be decorated in numerous ways or made into a drum to be beaten by hand or with a wodden spoon. TO MAKE a pull toy from an empty oatmeal box, you will need heavy string and two or three rattle objects. Thread a string through a small hole at the bottom of the box and through the lid. Inside the box, place two or three objects large enough not to be swallowed and enough to fit. Close the lid. Tie a knot high enough on the string so the box will roll when pulled. Buttons can also be stored and counted in empty egg containers or strung on a sturdy jewelry. Fruit jar rings and uncooked macaroni can also be strung to make a dangly, clink necklace. Threading spools on a heavy string or on a piece of yarn is fun. The result is a pull toy or beads. Mrs. Hanna Jarman was a guest in Bountiful on Wednesday of her sister, Mrs. JoAnn Leigh.

EASTON CONCLUDED: The driver who understands how to improve traction and reduce risks stands the best chance of avoiding skid accidents on winter slick road surfaces. A total of 332 students from Davis County were placed on the honor roll at Weber State fall College for the 1981-8- 2 quarter.

It happens when the trunk temperature warms abouve 6t) degrees F on sunny days and then drops considerably below freezing at night. Thomason explained that trees with thin bark, such as mountain ash, . from winter sunscald. He suggests taking one of several measures now to prevent this damage: (1) paint the first four feet of the tiee trunks with whitewash or white latex paint); (2) paint (not wrap the trunks with material such as burlap or (3) stand boards or other material on the southwest side of the trees to shade the bark. For other times of the year he cautions oil-ba- against pruning out large branches on the south side of the trees thereby exposing the trunks to the sun. THOMSON ALSO advises succulent plant growth. Slow the growth late in the fall by reducing irrigation in late August and September, avoid late summer or fall applications of fertilizer and refrain from late summer priming that stimulates succulent growth. Remember that drought as well as rapid temperature changes can cause winter injury that may not be apparent until later in the spring, Thomson said. vita nni o : Pines, arbor- - vw. nH 'i green trees and shrubs are particularly prone to this type of winter damage. WE SEE a lot of plants lost to drought under protected overhanging eaves of house. Often people are not aware of this cause. They see plants out from the house getting plenty of water, as they did this past fall, but they don't realize how dry the soil may be under the eaves. Often there will be no physical indication that the plants are stressed until drought damage shows up in April or later, Thomson added.
