Two new members were named to represent the county on the state central committee,- C. Ray - Gillman of Orem and Maurice Anderson of Springville. They will serve With R. J. Murdock and Mrs. Delia Loveridge, who,' as chairman and chairwoman of the county organization automatically become 'members of the state committee. Decision was reached to choose a more closely coordinated' exe cutive committee .from .the rnore man zou mempers 01 tne county Democratic central committee. Such an executive group will have about 30 or 35 members, allocated proportionately from the various precincts. .A patronage committee to include in-clude a representative from each of the county's five legislative districts will also be ! selected . soon. Members voted to resume the annual Democratic outing, dis continued during the war years because of gas and tire rationing and other factors, with: September Septem-ber set as the month, the exact date and place will be selected later. An outing committee was named to include Clarence A. QrSnt; 'American Fork; Maurice Anderson, Springville, and J. W. Thornton and Eloise P.

He called attention' , to studies by Cleveland high schools which showed over a three-year test period, graduates grad-uates who took driver train-lag train-lag had but half as many accidents as those who did . not take the training. Driver training Ls expected to gain wide acceptance in Utah schools in the future. In a recent survey of high schools, ,50 re sponded, and of this number, 26 had some, type of dr.iver . education, educa-tion, but only seven, including Provo offered actual behind-the-wheel training.

Utah voters have elected "a number of women to represent them in the state house of representatives, rep-resentatives, and they have elected several women at various vari-ous times to represent them as state senators, and. without exception ex-ception the women have made' good. The voters are proud of their records. We are strong supporters of women for office, be it legisla-. tive or executive, we are for them. Women fight for princi-' pies they, believe in.
