All good citizens are interested in the prevention of traffic accidents. 1 am interested because of my desire to escape injury myself, of my regard for my family, my friends and good citizens generally. Further, I am interested because I have a direct responsibilhundity for the safety of several official red drivers of cars used in Forest Service business, and in seeing that none of these drivers does injury to fthe property or person of anyonJ else. I ,m particularly interested In the prevention of violation of ttaffic laws. Probably 90 per cent at the traffic accidents Onj the average, are avoidable. Wor-thintrt- be-cu- 4-- H there are a number of violations of traffic laws to every accident. a An ounce of prevention is worth of pound of cure. Reduce violation traffic laws and traffic accidents will be reduced pretty much in the same ratio. Not infrequently after a traffic accident we. hear it said, "I knew something would happen. He's so reckless." To cite a specific case: In Southern Idaho a truck was returning from work to one of our CCC ramris with a truck load of en- rolees. There were strong gusts of wind which from time to time stirred up clouds of dust which hid obiects more than a few rods away. While the dust was rolling thick, the driver of our truck decided to stop until the aid should clear. He was well on his own side of a douD' le track highway and was bringing Jiis truck to a stop, when out of the dust appeared a sedan but a few rods away, being driven fairly fast and coming down the middle of the highway several feet over onto the wrong side of the road. It struck our truck and killed an enrollee instantly. The driver of the sedan was fatally injured. On the investigation which followed and which established the facts men' tioned, it was found that the driver young people from this State are year. attending this convention this Miss Worthington is to be comShe achievement. plimented on this is the second girl from this county to make the trip.

All poultrymen and others interested should not fail to read this letter, so that they may understand the picture from the standpoint of the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Association. The letter follows: "Salt Lake City, Utah "November 19, 1937 "To Our Local Presidents "The recent market decline on fre6h eggs has naturally been a matter of great concern to everybody, and we have been trying to check into the situation to find out why the market should dejust cline so abruptly and so early in the season. Mr. Leviten did not wait for us to make inquiry of him because he was so upset over the situation that he wired us immed iately to the effect that the decline is based upon an offering of eggs at below market quotations on the New York Exchange by the firm in New York which handles the eggs shipped east by the Draper Egg producers. "I am in receipt of a telegram from our New York office today which explains that by virtue oi our continued instlsence that a decline in the market price at this time is unwarranted, the Urner-Barr- y people, who publish the market quotations, were finally prevailed upon to quote a special quotation known as "Pacific Coast Specials" and another quotation to be known as "Exchange Specials". By arranging for this double quotation, it puts us in a position where our eggs will sell for at least one cent more than they would otherwise sell. "The reason for my writing to you is to impress upon you, and I hope you, in turn, will attempt to impress it upon the poultrymen in your local, that this current decline could probably have been avoided, or at least minimized, if the poultrymen were working together in true cooperation as they should be. It is not my purpose to be too harsh upon those who may be shipping their eggs to the Draper Egg Producers, because I do not think they fully understand the significance of their actions and how seriously they can Injure the whole (Continued on page five) PRELIMINARY Group To TRIAL DATE Valuable DECEMBER 15 Prize The News, Vol. 18, No. 47 Get STAKE CONFERENCE TO BE HELD HERE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY The LaVonian Home Science Club, led by Miss La Von Harris, ELECTION OF UTE of Nephi, will receive a handsome award for submitting Ihe winning STAMPEDE OFFICERS county report in the 1937 National POSTPONED Social Prorgress program.
