The boy, a son of Mr. and Mrs. VernaL Frseton, was returning from milch cows to the pasture when a speeding the a nt ar taking familys car struck the lads horse and he was thrown to the pavement, suffering a serious head injury. Parents and other close associates of Randy are convinced their sons life was spared primarily because of their faith and prayers. He was pronounced in critical condition when rushed to a Salt Lake City hospital after receiving aid at the local hospitaL highway is being used Unfortunately the as a speedway by so many people that it has become a hazard to the safety of those traveling it. Your editor lives on the highway, and even though his home is located' inside the city limits of Roosevelt, there is an unnusual amount of speeding and careless driving in the same block occupied by the LDS Hospital. Our nation is doing a great job in trying to reduce the number of fatal accidents on the highways. Utah has fallen in line with trend and despite the needless slaughter that still goes on, many new ideas are being invoked which, if followed, will save lives. New, modern highways are being built; more and more signs that warn the motorist of the dangers that lie ahead on the highways, are being erected- - Yet the Uah toil still keeps pace with last year, and the year before. There isnt a chance in the world that our National and State Safety Councils will relax in their fight to cut down fatal accidents. There is a chance that our mounting tolls of highway accidents can be reduced, if each driver will vow to himself that he is going to make the roads safe for himself, his family and visitors who use our highways every day of the year. A few more speeding tickets and a little closer patroling of the highway might eliminate further accidents like the one involving little Randy Freston. It is so heartless that they will strike a person down on a highway, then not be possessed with the decency to Stop and give aid offense a to the injured person. Our laws make a pretty mean violation of human conduct, with a heavy punishment for those caught. If each hot-ro- d driver, or anyone else who is careless when behind the wheel, would stop and consider his own dad, mother or someone else near and dear to him, might be the next person to lose his life because someone failed to be a courteus driver, he would be more conscious of his driving habits on the highways.

Of woolen suits, which account for 29 per cent of all suits, it is expected that retailers will buy 60 per cent in all wool fianels and 18 per cent in tweeds and Blends with synthetic fibers probably will account for 5 to7 per cent. There is expected to be little change in various type of meins overcoats. Top coats constitute 75 per cent of the total. Zipper will continue. lined Retailers consider that tweeds will continue to be the most popular fabric in top coats. Velours come very close to tweeds in popularity, however.
