To Solve Insoluble Problems' How to make driving safer! ; Cars are being made of tougher materials; they can be stopped more quickly, steered more handily, seen out of more clearly, tipped(over less easily, and are being freed of more injury-causing protuberances. - ' Roads are built strafghter, wider, and more level They are fringed with tetter alerting slgns,-tutlined with brighter pavement stripes, and bulwarked with stouter guard rails and broader dividing strips. r , Drivers are being tested, licensed, lectured to, kept under surveillance, and disciplined. ' ' ' '; . .. All of this has had its effect One has only to imagine what the streets and highways would be like had such prog ress been less than It is. But the cars and the roads, mani festly, are not yet as safe as an advanced civilization should be able to make them. . , Dr. Lawrence R. Hafstad, General Motors vice-president in charge of its research staff, suggests that teams of "com petent amateurs," including not only engineers and traffic experts but also psychologists and biologists, be turned loose on the problem.1 ; J.. - '. L. . Such teams have been strikingly successful during and since the war in other fields, by exploring the "novel and Interesting'' even though it may not bfe the obvjously practi cal. From such teams, says Dr. Hafstad, have come "refreshingly "refresh-ingly new approaches to old and seemingly insoluble problem." prob-lem." " '- .- v Among these, Dr. Hafstad indicates, might be: a speed recorder for each car; radar-radio warning to tell a driver he is speeding and even to take over control of his car; radarduplication inside the car of roadside warning signals. Many devices like there are in use on American railroads. rail-roads. Why not on the turnpikes, too? t m i&MorA new uhmp 9 prvXJ-OlKS SURPRISED!

WHAT GOES IN OUR HOME CITY It Is refreshing to note there were four new home permits Issued in American Fork In the latest report. Provo Issued. 60 and Orem 40. There were 190 for the county. Something is wrong In our city. J There la no better place in the County than American Fork to make a home, but people are driven away almost dally by the lack of cooperation of the city officials. , We are 20 minutes from the county seat and 40 from the state capltol. we hare the fin est hospital, library and churches, and the most up-to-date schools. We are located near the B. 7. University and only a refreshing drive from the University of Utah. Our water system is unexcelled and our utilities are tops except our telephone service. The prevailing winds are from the southwest, the northwest north-west and from the canyons. This fact Is very significant; they carry the smoke from the two steel plants to the east or to the west. Thus we escape most of the fumes. Check this as 'you travel through the county. coun-ty. . Besides a dialing system for our telephone . lines, we need some overhauling In our city offices. It looks ridiculous to appoint an officer and then form a board of review to de cide If that officer is doing his duty. What do you think of a city refusing to accept -a deed a street because the donor has not hard surfaced the street and put in sidewalks and the curb and gutters. We need some clear thinking somewhere. This Is the time to take in ventory of successes and failures fail-ures and profit by our mistakes. This is a time to lay plans for the future growth of our fine Home City. R. L. Ashby Back-Log From Citizen News Columns TEN TEARS AGO Mayor Glen L.
