Show Page Eight FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1958 THE SALT LAKE TIMES County Commission Favors GOP Led Departments, Cuts Demo Budgets j (Continued from Page 1) The county auditor's office was given an additional $7,000; the custodian's office $7,000 more; the license department $7,000 more; recorder $10,000 more, and county surveyor, $7,500. Roads and bridges were upped $362,453; flood control raised $23,483; county attorney's of-fice was down $500; garage up $3,000; garbage collection upped $12,500. The only Republican whose budget was cut was the county assessor and his office was cut $2,100. In the case of the county sur-veyor it was pointed out that inspector duties were removed from the surveyor, thereby lightening his responsibilities o( and presumably his departments. Democratic department heads also pointed out that the com-mission did not extend to them the courtesy of calling them be-fore it to justify requests for more funds. Observers, noting that an elec-tion will be coming up next fall, agreed that Republicans were losing no time in taking care of Republicans while making it difficult for Democrats to op-erate. It was expected that much of the additional money granted Republican dominated depart-ments would go for salary in-creases in those departments. The Democratic led departments, which did not get increases, were in no position to grant sal-ary increases, it was felt. Do What Did He Say ? made a written bargain with 39 nations of the free world stretch-ing across six continents which states that we shall consider any attack upon them as an attack on ourselves. We have such an agreement with 13 nations in NATO stretching across Europe from Turkey to Norway." (Continued from Page 1) capability to deter an enemy from attack and to blunt that at-tack if it comes by a combina-tion of effective retalitory power and a continental defense sys-tem of steadily increasing effec-tiveness. These two tasks logic-ally demand priority in all plan-ning." P. "To aid in protecting against (Soviet attack) we, in partner-ship with Canada have long been constructing a continental de-fense system reaching from far out in the Pacific around the northern edge of this continent and across Atlantic approaches. This is a complex system of early warning radars, communications lines, electronic computers, sonic aircraft and ground-to-ai- r mis-siles." G. "The development of a com-plete warning system is a joint project by Canada and the U.S. Part of this system already has been constructed with several years work and huge cost. It is the Pinetree Radar Screen which crosses the continent along a line north of Seattle, the Great Lakes and Ottawa. A third warning system across the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic has been agreed upon and will be constructed by the United States. This Distant Early Warning (DEW) line is designed to alert this country and Canada as early as possible against bomber approaches over the polar wastes. It will run 3000 miles along the top of the conti-nent. Radar stations along the North Alaskan coast will serve as western anchor of the DEW line." "In addition to retalitory and continental defense forces, we and our allies maintain strong ground and naval units in stra-tegic areas of the world." (G.) "The United States has stationed troops in the troubled areas around the globe: In the Far East, the Army has troops to maintain the security of that important area. In Europe, with the allied nations, they have the mission to defend Western Eu-rope and Iceland." (P). "This fact brings home to all of us the tremendous impor-tance to this country of our al-lies. Not only do they maintain large military forces as part of our combined security, but they provide vital bases and areas that permit the effective deployment of all our forces for defense (G). "The United States has Safety Council Puts Spotlight on Rear-En- d Wrecks The rear of one car and the front end of another are dam-aged. The reason? The guy be-hind was right on my tail." Two cars are damaged slightly when one switches lanes. Other motorists stop on the expressway to watch the excitement. Result? Sixteen cars pile up. Police ticket a motorist for "following too closely." He says the driver ahead "stopped with no warning." The tail-gate- r, the highway halter, the abrupt-stopp- er are three of a kind, the National Safety Council said. They're the motorists who ac-count for most rear-en- d colli-sions of motor vehicles. Rear end collisions make up three per cent of all fatal two-mot- or vehicle non-intersecti- on accidents which account for nearly a fourth of all traffic fatalities. Rear-en- d collisions account for 8 per cent of urban accidents, and 9 per cent of rural accidents. They can be prevented if all drivers will: 1. Stay about a car length for every 10 miles an hpur of speed behind the preceding car. 2. Pull off roadways in an emergency. 3. Signal before slowing or stopping. 4. Set up flares or turn on directional signals if it's impos-sible to leave the roadway. 5. Keep an eye on traffic lights and begin braking well before an intersection instead of slam-ming on the brakes at the last minute. Many motor vehicle mishaps woudl never happen if more mo-torists woudl drive defensively. Defensively means alertly, in-telligently, thinking and look-i- n ahead to what might happen. "Keep your eye on the other guy," the Council said, outlining these ways to offset bad driving habits of others: 1. Drive at a safe speed so you can stop in time to avoid an-other guy's boners. 2. Obey traffic rules and reg-ulations. 3. Scan the road ahead. The sooner you see danger the more time you'll have to avoid it. 4. Keep watching your rear-vie- w mirror. It'll show what the fellow behind is doing. 5. Keep a safe distance from the car ahead. Then you'll be able to stop if necessary. 6. Yield right of way. Better to "lose" your rights and save your life. "Why is our Bourbon different?" y. '. v v; x x ; ' x x x x : ; : ' vX x x x vX X' x x- x X'X x-- v' ;:vXyXy;:X:y;: COL. FRANK THOMPSON, U.S.A.

Highly endorsed by the Na-tional Rifle Association, the course is designed to train sports-men as instructors in safe gun handling and survival afield. This is the first step in training all first time hunters in the ele-ments of hunting safety. High hopes were expressed that the program would soon encompass the entire state and that all teen-agers will have completed the course by the time they make application for their first hunt-ing license. All available help is needed to carry out the program and in-terested persons were urged to enroll in the training course at their earliest opportunity. Beginning in January, the in-structor's course will be taught on a regularly scheduled basis in Logan, Salt Lake, Provo, Ogden and Price. Meeting times and the beginning date for instruc-tion will be made known at a later date. Groups in cities other than the one mentioned who wish instruc-tor training were asked to con-tact Utah State Department of Fish and Game offices, 1596 W. North Temple. |
