Gasoline prices haven't soared to the point where the fuel will be a substitute for cash at the bank. And a savings account for gas is not one of the services offered by even the most innovative financial institution. But this young motorist motor-ist and her banker friend demonstrate the fact that up to two gallons of gasoline gaso-line per tankful can be saved when a car's engine is tuned. Driving sensibly is another sure-fire way of helping to solve the energy shortage. pringville. CEneainiilber off Commerce msuilhvioiifl E)C3Gi)(peu is scheduled wr ' to I K.

Dr. Virginia Cutler of Provo will be the key-note speaker. Special drivers' to person's age Effective January 1, 1974, the Driver License Division began administering new written tests with questions designed to be of particular educational value to different age groups. It is believed that the tests will be more beneficial than the former tests. Noting from studies that people in the same age bracket often have the same types of accidents and driving problems, an attempt has been made to put their problems in the tests. For example, drivers in the younger group are often involved in-volved with speeding violations and drinking. While those over 60 have some problems with driving skills and road rules such as improper backing, failure to yield and disregarding traffic signs, they seldome have a drinking problem. Persons in between have a combination of problems. Accordingly, Ac-cordingly, separate tests will be given to persons up to 30, between bet-ween 31 and 60, and over 60. To help applicants, a special supplement to the Utah Driver Handbook has been prepared. If you are familiar with the handbook hand-book and read the supplement, you will have the answers to the new questions. Therefore, persons intending to apply for or renew their driver license should obtain, beforehand, a copy of the handbook supplement available The winter coat of the white-tailed white-tailed jackrabbit is pure white except for black tips on its ears and a few bugg-colored patches on the supper portion of its forefeet and about its ears and eyes.
