The former architect will collect more than $10,000 in fees for work he turned out on the never-to-be-bui- lt mansion. If this kind of thing is the way the "business administra-tion" is operating in other departments we will soon be back to throwing out the Utah Constitution and starting all over from scratch. and wealth can be reduced. In that evidence is a challenge that is a reproach to our society unless we meet it boldly." Gov. Ribicoff outlined a program of individual action designed to cut the tremendous toll. "First, individually or through your citizens' organizations, make known to your legis-lators your determination to see a strong highway program enacted in your state. Demand the formation of a working safety committee which will survey needs, recommend improvements in regulations, and focus attention on the urgency of the act. "Second, insist on a program of safety education which be-gins in the grade schools and continues through a mandatory program of driver training before young people can be licensed to drive. "Third, express your support of and willingness to abide by a program of motor vehicle law enforcement without 'fix' or 'favor.' ' "Fourth, develop within yourself the habits of care, caution and courtesy behind the wheel." Statistics paint an unpretty picture of carelessness and will-ful disregard for the right and privilege of others. More than 80 per cent of the 2,563,700 casualties were caused by driver error. Excessive speed alone accounted for 13,000 deaths and 837,600 injuries. Governor Ribicoff emphasized that the statistics add up to "a shameful drain on our physical and economic resources ... a shameful waste of money that could be used to build schools, sponsor medical research, redevelop communities, strengthen national defense." At the age of twenty, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at thirty we worry about what it is thinking of us; at forty we discover that it wasn't thinking of us. A farmer who sent for a book entitled"How to Grow Tomatoes," wrote to the publisher: "The man who writ the ad shulda writ the book." We Can Cut Highway Accidents The state of Connecticut has made great strides in recent years in combatting highway accidents. Much of the credit has been given the state's governor, Abraham A. Ribicoff. In a recent traffic safety booklet entitled "The Road Toll," Gov. Ribicoff outlined his policy and suggestions which might be adopted in other states. Bold action or reproach: these are the alternatives in the grim national highway safety picture, according to Gov. Ribicoff.

The story he read from a U. S. Department of Agriculture publication tells more than any figures. "Mr. President, for some time I have been interested in the formula by which Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson and his staff are aiding family farmers through their much-publicize- d rural development program. "The other day Under Secretary True D. Morse sent us all, bearing his personal signature, copies of the monthly maga-zine Extension Service Review, which is issued by the Department of Agriculture. It is the March 1958 issue, and is devoted en-tirely to glowing articles about the rural development program. "Mr. President, I combed this magazine almost line by line to find an example of a farm family that had been saved by the program to get some clue about how it really works. My efforts were finally rewarded. On page 58, in an article' entitled "Keep-ing Them on the Farm," which is about Choctaw County, Okla., I found this clear example of the operations of the program. " ' Farm people in the county were quick to take advantage of the opportunities provided through the rural-developme- nt pro-gram. Floyd Berry and wife are good examples. Berry operates a 280 acre farm and has a small grade A dairy and a commercial beef herd. To supplement farm income Mrs. Berry drew on her experience as a housewife to get a job cooking in a local cafe. She works from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. Her husband is working at a filling station from 3 p.m. until midnight. Berry handles the farm chores in the morning and his wife takes over in the after-noons." "This, then, is the formula for successful farming under Benson. Get your wife a ful-tim- e job in town. If you are lucky, the husband's in-tow- n wages will pay the losses resulting from farming under Benson and you will still have your wife's pay as a fry cook to buy some groceries and clothing. "I want it to be entirely clear, however, that this shining example of the results of one of Mr. Benson's programs simply reinforces my own conviction that he should be fired before sun-down a conviction I have had for the past 1,896 days, which goes back to the day of his appointment.'
