A Simple, Yet Sure Way To Safeguard (By DON HEROLD) I have a few suggestions which ought to cut automobile accidents in this country down about 50 per cent over night well, anyway, by the middle of next week. My first suggestion to all motorists mo-torists is: Drive carefully enough for yourself and the other fellow, too, because the chances are he isn't. My own system is to expect the world's prize idiot around every next corner. When I turn a curve or go over the top of a hill, I hug my side of the road like glue and I slow down a bit, because I always picture pic-ture a congenital imbecile at the wheel of a car coming at me from the other directiona bird who was born on the wrong side of the road. Slows Down a Bit At an intersection, I always imagine the other intersecting artery filled with morons. And I slow down to offset their moron-ity moron-ity with a double dose of my own sanity. ; Of course, I know this is a pretty pret-ty cynical slant on my fellow motorists, but I don't think a group which killed ' about 30,000 victims and injured some 850,000 others last year, is worthy of very many medals for bright and shining mentality. The present system is to let the other fellow take care of us and look at the figures. My sugges- THE MINUTE WE GET BEHIND A STEERING WHEEL WE SEEM TO REGARD EVERY MAN AS OUR ENEMY tion is for each of us to take care of himself and one other driver, too. Don't you think it's a dandy plan? If everybody agreed to thi system, sys-tem, we'd have twice as much motoring carefulness as we need in the world instead of half.! enough, as at present. Due To Fast Driving I've often heard it said that it isn't fast drivers who cause accidents, acci-dents, but statistics gathered by The Travelers Insurance Company Com-pany upset . this glib philosophy with figures showing that nearly 126,000 accidents last year were the result of exceeding speed limits. lim-its. So there! Hurry. There's the hub of this whole accident business. Probably Prob-ably nine-tenths of our automobile automo-bile accidents are caused by, people peo-ple trying to save five minutes. We rush like mad to get some where, and it doesn't amount to much when we get there. Methods Meth-ods of locomotion have improved greatly in recent years, but places to go have remained about the same. If we have an appointment appoint-ment with somebody, the chances are, anyway, hat he will be 30 minutes late, having been smashed smash-ed at an intersection or pinched by a cop for rushing through a red light. If everybody in America Ameri-ca would resolve to contribute five minutes a day to the cause of automobile safety, we could cut the death and accident toll in two. v Five minutes a day. Brother, can you spare five minutes min-utes a day ? A little ordinary courtesy would help, also. We are usually usual-ly pretty peaceful in our attitude towards our fellow man, but the minute we get behind a steering wheel, we seem to regard every man as our enemy. The fact is we have killed more than 325,000 of our friends with motor cars in the last 15 years in thi3 country, coun-try, whereas our enemies have killed only 300,00 of us in all our wars to date. We'll be darned if that guy passes us or gets across the street intersections first. I'd say. Aw, let him pass you or let him beat you to the crossing. You don't have to prove to him that your car has the greatest pick-up in all creation, or that you are the master motorist of all time. A little Alphonse and Gaston stuff would help us keep folks out of hispitals and cemeteries. Those Vanishing Americans And now a word to those vanishing van-ishing Americans, pedestrians. We rush like mad to get somewhere,, some-where,, and it doesn't amount much when we get there. They should be careful enough for themselves and the fellow in that approaching motor car, too, for the chances are he isn t. And they should get up every morning mm AUTO I Our service is quick, friendly, convenient. You get the cash you need without delay . . . and are allowed all the time you need to repay.

Five minutes a day will keep the ambulance away. The figures show that around 800 persons were killed . last year crossing streets against the signal, while only around 200a were killed crossing cross-ing with the signal. That's 600 persons who could have avoided death by waiting a minute on the curb. Another 3,300 could have avoided death by going to the corner instead of hurrying across in the middle of the block. More than 35,000 pedestrians were hit last year by stepping, out from behind parked cars they didn't even have sense enough for themselves, them-selves, let alone a little extra sense for the fellow who needn't have hit them. I don't know exactly how many persons were killed last year walking along highways with traffic instead of facing it, but I'll bet plenty. . . . persons who were leaving it to the other fellow fel-low not to hit them instead of seeing that he did not. . A careful study of tables of last year's motor car death and accident causes shows that a large percentage of them were the results of "stupidity," under which I group unnecessary hurry. And nearly all of them could have He saved five minutes and lost five weeks. been avoided if every driver had started oiit every a. m. with the resolution to drive carefully enough for himself and the other fellow, too, and to tax himself five minutes a day for the general cause of automobile safety, and to show his fellow humans just a wee bit of ordinary courtesy. Provo Student At Cornell Sings In Elijah Oratorio The musical season at .Cornell university will be climaxed on the evening of May 5th by a spectacular spectacu-lar presentation of the Mendelssohn's Mendel-ssohn's EJijah, in which a chorus of 400 voices supported by the New York orchestra and a group of nationally known soloists will sing. The presentation of the oratorio ora-torio will be under the direction of Professor Paul Weaver, head of the music department at Cornell, and will take place in the university univer-sity drill hall. Richard v Bonelli, Metropolitan Opera baritone and America's greatest singer of the leading part in Elijah, will have that role in the presentation. Grouped about him will be ,I?oris Doe, another Metropolitan star, Dan Gridley, a tenor of national reputation, Emily Roosevelt, soprano, and H. A. Carey, Jr., boy soprano of Ithaca. Among those taking part in the chorus, which comprises 18 local choral units representing all of the various musical forces in the com mun'ityt is Morgan Sibbett of Provo, Utah. A Chicago inventor, Vincent McDonnell, has perfected an engine en-gine that changes7 cheap fuel oil into a fixed gas that operates automobiles. The engine has been able to make 40 miles qn a gallon of oil in its first tests, and - since fuel oil costs only about . one-third of the price asked ask-ed for motor gas, this motor promises to revolutionize the transportation industry if it is found to be at all practical.

The grass is especially adaptted to places where there is an abundance of moisture, especially in swampy places. We are trying in this county, several suitable places where demonstrations will be kept close track of and if suitable there will be more of it placed in Utah county. Utah county pastures aren't very good as a rule, in fact, farmers could well afford to put some of their regular regu-lar farm land into pasture and make it a part, of their rotation .ystem. PICOVED SI HE WORK Forty-one states have elected to prove sires by the lactation-record lactation-record method. Six states chose to continue the 12-month method for the time being. One state has not yet decided which method it will use. The goal in 1934 is to prove at least one side by the lactation method for each dairy herd-improvement association in operation. opera-tion. Three months of 1934, one-fourth one-fourth of the year, have passed. If this goal is to be reached in every state during, the year, 25 percent of the goal should be already al-ready attained. The following .slogan has been adopted: "AT LEAST ONE PROVED SIRE FOR EACH D. H. I. ASSOCIATION ASSOCIA-TION IN IL'M." Utah has only one association and a goodly portion por-tion of this associal f;n is in Utah county. DISCARDED COWS One cow in 12 is discarded each year, on the average, by dairy-herd dairy-herd improvement association members because of low production. produc-tion. One in 12 is also discarded discard-ed because of disease or some cause other than low production. Approximately one cow in 20 is sold each year for dairy purposes to other dairymen. The total amount of culling oil, the average aver-age farm in these associations, amounts to 20 per cent of the herd. - '.. . n.M.m.m.wm,.., , , mwrnmn .m.ro .., " World William Ferguson 061AWARG: HAS A PORTION OF A FOR ITS NORTHERN 6OON0ARV IT IS OR AWN WITH A RADIUS OF 12.
