Wherefore, in order to call at-tention to the economic dangers inherent in inflation, I, Ralph A.

ANNUAL MOTOR CAR INSPECTION BEGINS JUNE 1 Superintendent P. L. Dow of the Utah Highway Patrol an-nounces the annual safety in-spection of all motor vehicles carrying Utah license plates will start Thursday, June 1. This inspection law is for your safety as a driver, the superin-tendent points out. It is important to you that your car, as well as the other fellow's be safe to drive. Show your fellow-driv- er a good example. It is a patriotic service to your country in war-time to see that no manpower or equipment is lost through any act or neglect of yours. Utah Wins National Award During the year 1943 Utah won the Grand National traffic safety award. This means that of all the forty-eig- ht states in the Union the traffic safety record of Utah was considered the best. Undoubt-edly the vehicle inspection pro-gram contributed largely to the winning of this award. 'Have your car inspected as soon after June 1 as you can con-veniently arrange," counsels Dow. "Give the inspecting station time and instructions to do as thor-ough a job as possible. Your car will last longer, and it needs your care. You may have to use it for a long time yet."
