By their reckoning the final "average" tally will be in the neighborhood of 260 deaths. Since simple arithmetic seemingly plays a larger part in highway fatalities than the simple common sense of victims, at least 141 additional Utah motorists and pedestrians now reading these lines, heading for office and factory, feeding babies or doing farm or kitchen chores, must surely die violently before year's end. v Visit Capitol Lest all this have too grim and sound, journey to the Utah State Capitol next time you've a free hour.

Every day you wait is simply postponing, still further, the wonderful time when you can enjoy the many delightful things a Cadillac will bring you. There is, for instance, the deep feeling of pride which comes from owning a car which is universally acknowledged to be the Standard of the World . . . . . . the great satisfaction that comes from driving a car so quiet you can "whisper and be heard"; so easy to handle that driving is no conscious effort at all; so comfortable and restful that a day at its wheel is the essence of relaxation : DEAD ELDER COUNTY (Paid Political Adv.) 1952 Mrs. Leonard Peterson Building map, denoting 125 freshly-du- g gravies.
