Show He- - flU This issue of The Sentinel has been produced under "extenuating circumstances," as the lawyers say. We are right in the middle of the process of installing our big new newspaper press, and the plant is at present in at state of chaos. This issue was printed on our small press, two pages at a time, and folded by hand and all the time we were trying to keep out of the way of the machinists who are erecting the new machine.

THE THRILL OF SPEED By Don Robinson Reprinted from The American Press We have tried, in a survey, to dig into the subject of automobile accidents to see if the editors of the nation could come up with practical answers as to what can be done to curb the present rate of slaughter on the highways. We- - believe the response to the survey has pointed the way to some good answers. But in reading the replies we were made very much aware of the fact that the problem must be solved on a local basis. In some Counties enforcement of traffic laws is very inadequate. In others, there are many highway hazards that need correcting. In some cases judges are much too lenient with their penalties. Driver training is emphasized in some towns. In others, there is no such thing. What is the situation in your town and county? What needs to be done in your local area to reduce accidents? We believe, if editors would take local leadership in fighting accidentsif they would make a study of conditions that cause accidents and then "holler" through their editorial columns until corrections are made much could be accom- plished. We were pleased to note in the replies from editors that there is very little demand for new laws. Present laws should be studied, and in some cases revised or added to, but the problem seems to be that present laws are not properly enforced. You can't stop accidents by putting a law on the books unless someone sees to it that violators are punished. We believe editors can gain much guidance in analyzing the hazards in their own communities by studying the thinking of other editors, as expressed in our survey. We realize that many editors do not have the time to add the role of Safety Commissioner to their already too varied community duties. But they could, perhaps, spearhead a demand for a voluntary group of reliable citizens to shoulder the problem and report fully on the findings and recommendations of that group. In our opinion a voluntary group, with the newspaper behind it, might do more than any government division to stimulate action for the things which would add to safety on local highways. I recently bought a new car. In looking over the instruction book that came with it, I read: "After 500 miles of driving, occasional burst of speed up to 70 M.P.IL are not only permissible but are desirable. Your new car, however, should not be operated at top speed util it has been driven 1,000 miles." Being in the midst of analyzing The American Press survey on accidents, in which editors named "speed" as the No. 1 killer on the highways, I could not help but wonder at what speed the company recommended that I drive after first 1,000 torturous miles. So I read further. Under the subject of fuel economy, the instruction book said: "At top speed and during maximum acceleration, you are using all of the power available; and gasoline will be used at a rate of 8 to 10 gallons per hour. Driving at top speed, or accelerating at mum rate, will give you a thrill and you will get where you are going in a hurry. This may offset the cost of the extra gasoline you will use." "Top Speed," according to the speedometer in my car, is 100 miles an hour. The company is perfectly right: it would give you a thrill to drive at top speed and you would get there (if you got there alive) in a hurry. These instructions made me wonder if the automobile companies realize that their products are killing 37,000 people a year. Wouldn't it be a good idea if they at least delivered them with a tag attached reading. "Dangerous hand 'with care"? And wouldn't it be a good idea if, instead of talk only about speed and power, the car makers did a little more crusading for safe driving? h Wfe ml p - By H.C.

"There's going to be a real debate on legislation to authorize the Upper Colorado River Storage the lawmaker noted. "I think we have a good chance to win this fight for Utah's future." Sen. Bennett said, too, that he looked for a continuing investigation of tariffs affecting the domestic wool and metal mining industries which have felt the sting of Jensen. foreign competition. "These problems will be before my own Finance committee, so Til be on top of them through the entire session," the Utahn said. This committee also will be responsible for tax revisions and the proposed extension of the social security program, matters which must originate in the House, he noted. Sen. Bennett said he thought the Eisenhower legislative program would attract the support of many Democrats and, by and large, would be successful, despite some "real battles along the way."
