Show August, 1966 A Dilemma Claims-Man- s Dear Sir: Cant fina my insurance policy, but had this little card with your Companys name, and I thought I had better write to you and give you some information about an ACCIDENT that I had with my car a couple of weeks or so ago. I did not think at the time that I was at fault, and didnt think much would come of it as there were five people in my car to testify for me and only four in the other car, so we have one more witness than they do. This other car was driving ahead of me, and it was about midnight, and raining awful hard, and all at once he stopped real short to keep from hitting a kid on a bicycle and I ran smack into the back of his car. I dont know how I could have been expected to see that this car ahead was stopping as the lights on my old 1951 car are real dim, and my brakes could be better. If I have time to pump the brake pedal a few times, she stops pretty good. Another thing the windshield is kinda tough to see out at night, so all a court would have to do is to look at my car, and theyd know in a minute that the other car should have signalled so I could have more time to stop. Another thing, a lawyer for one of the passengers in the other car called twice saying they had traced me by my license number. I know that no one saw the accident happen except this one lady passenger in the other car, because the other three people were all unconscious when I went up and looked in. This lady claims to have gotten my license number while she was laying out in the road, (she was thrown out of the car), but I know she was in no shape to know what she was doing because according to her lawyer, she had a fractured skull and a brain concussion, so her testimony wouldnt hold up in court. What I want you to do is to get an estimate of my damages right away and seie if you can collect from the other driver. He ought to be good for it, he had a 1964 Cadillac. Or if he dont pay, then we ought .to find that kid on the bike and sue him. Oh say, a couple of the guys in my car claim they havent been able to go to work on account of they cracked their heads on the windshield. Its good enough for them because they had been yelling like Indians to get out of the car a few minutes before the accident. They seemed to think that I wasnt in shape to drive just because we had a few beers while fishing. We only had two cases among the five of us, so I couldnt have been so bad. better take over now. Im sure glad you folks insisted on raising the limits on my policy to a hundred thousand. When I told the lawyer that, he said he wouldnt bother me any more.

Farm Bureau families, young and old, gather in shady canyons and enjoy good food and pleasant associations. One of the largest of the outings (if not the largest) is the outing held by the Utah County Farm Bureau. Hundreds of people line up for an excellent catered dinner of fried chicken, races and games for the kids, and neighborly conversation.
