He seems chMlyj interested, and wisely so, in puncturing n, i-;- the complacency and ; self-satisfact- ion which grip most motorists. Repeatedly, surveys- show that most of us think safe driving warnings are for the other fellow, arid that many believe driver education is something only teenagers need.

J I it the emasculated' bars have taken their places. You can't even find a spittoon in By FRANK C. ROBERTSON I have long been skeptical that people ever read footnotes. I am convinced now tha,t theyjseldom do. When I was missing from, my accustomed place on this page last Sunday the editor explained why in, a neatly worded footnote, yet a number of people called me tb inquire. why, obv ously having missed' the foot- note. p "Does this m e a n .that you have been t fired?" one voice in1 Bequired hopefully. ing never afraid to hurt people's feelings 1 replied that it did not, but if the editor finds out that people don't read his regular foot-'iiote disclaiming that .Mr. Robertson my views are those of the paper there is a chance that I will be. In this case there was simply not room for the Chopping Block and the very important editorial, and courtesy demanded that I step aside for the ed- them, and the use" of wholesome profanity seems entirely limited to women and and it is no longer wholesome. If a. drunken man insults ' you, and then wanti to fight, you can at least knock himj down, but what a hub-bu- b there would be if you struck a woman. Besides, I realize that most of them lick me. I can't imagine anything more damaging to a man's pride than being thrown put 'of a bar by a woman bouncer. If you offer to buy a man a drink he thanks you;. If you offer to buy one for a woman she will claim that you have insulted her. Give me the saloon where mei could. get together in happy companionship., It was a place of equality. Bars jare places whereV men are second-clas- s citizens. A man must always be a gentleman, but there is nothing to the effect that a woman must always be a lady. Freedom for men went out along, with sawdust on the floors. As for pants, I submit that few women are endowed by nature to wear them. Most, women think they look like sleek destroyers, but many of,them look more keel-boalike that can't go anywhere unless they are paddled.' When women took to wearing shorts I applauded, some of them, but the worst sin of which they are guilty is that they! have set a style foremen, and there is nothing , more offensive on the public thoroughfares than the sight of a pair of knobby, hairy male legs. They destroyed our freedom,1 these modern women.! They might at least leave us our dignity. ; , Among the calls was one from Mr.. June Pierce, an old friend in Spring-ville, old-fashion- ed inquiring if I was sick. "You young bucks never know enough to take care of yourselves," he said. Mr. Pierce ist a hale. and hearty eighty, and it's nice to 4 know that he worries, about me. Another call was from Carl Baker, who admitted that he hadn't read the footnote. Carl told' me casually that he is now-- ; selling books, averaging about three hundred dollars a day in gross sales. He wanted to know how I was ' doing with my books, and I told him that if I sold? three hundred dollars, worth in a year I was doing well. J. . ... Presently,' I have a paperbound book on the stands called, WANTED : DEAD OR- - ALIVE, succeeding another called " RAWHIDE. Since I am in an explanatory mood I would like to say to the people who have inquired when they were going to appear on television, that they won't, They 'are novels based on the television series' of the same names, but were not intended for ' television. Neither did I swipe 'them. I was hired by CBS, who owns the shows, to write the books and was know. nice never it But I'll why . work, and I'm glad that I could get it. " This morning I had an inquiry, asking: ,"Do youj believe (like us) that bars, pants and automobiles are For Men Only . . . women are a pleasing necessity but an impediment ,to man's progress toward a truly civilized existence . . a woman's place is wherever a man ' happens to set her down?" I havegiVen the matter considerable earnest thought, and in the main'; I ' vagree. I would not, he we ver, deprive her of the privilege of driving an automobile though 1 would encourage her to learn to read' the traffic regulations along the highway. Since I detest shopping I am glad to have my wife drive down town and perform that obnoxious chore. But like the editors of TRUE, the magazine for Men, who sent the inquiry, I am jflead against women in bars, and against them wearing pants Like for instance, a lady came into pur house the other day wearing a pair of 'those thin, sleezy pant?, and she complained of being ' cold She denied that the pants were thin, and said, "Here, just feel."

Reading, the articles about Dar-re- ll Poulson shocked me to the point that I must write; my per-- f sonal feelings. ,.

Any. murder could be prevented, but in this case it is a wonder didn't happen sooner, From' the time Darrell Poulson was 13 years of age he has been commiting violations and getting away with them. What kind of law enforcement do we have? He was considered a model student, yet escaped from the Utah State Training School during the same year he was released. Everyone who read the articles will no doubt remember, as I do, the Various offenses' on which sentences were suspended. No wonder there is so much crime, when there, is ho punishment. Another thing, I think it is'real-l-y going some when a man who is being investigated for a crime can be called by his employer tb come to work and the law enforcers let him go. There was no reason for this crime. Had this man' been punished for his very first offense or had the law enforcers been less considerate of Poulson's employer and more considerate of the people of our county, this may not have happened. As the mother of two little girls, I hope and pray this terrible crime will open the eyes of the law and public and the many crimes that go unpunished, day by day, will cease.
