NOVEMBER 14, 1985 JASHINGTOILNEAX-- - Today's Editorials - New Third South Traffic Lanes timbus to America by Just a few measly years, as had been claimed for the vikings, but by about 24 backing the commission's proposed, h experiment to ascertain whether the lanes will cut the accident rate on the street According to the district engf-nee-r, road officials decided on the experment after traffic records showed 17 accidents on Third South between Jan. 1 and May 1 were caused by drivers attempting to make lefthand turns. The new pattern provides for two traffic lanes going each way, with marked lanes for lefthand turning and provision to continue ' some parallel parking. The engi- neer explained that the curved lanes were devised in an attempt d to achieve ease and safety in turning and still maintain as much parallel parking as possible. that One thing is certain making lefthand turns in the busy traffic on Third g and South has been very hazardous in the past. The need for some program to correct this situation has been apparent. Whether the curved lanes are the best answer remains to be. seen. There's only one way to really find out and that's to test "the plan objectively in a sustained ex- centuries periment The State Road Commission's new experimental curving traffic Janes on Provo's Third South from Seventh East to fifth West havt created quite a stir. Provo TW(Kitizen&xif JOUtheast protested to the city commission and said residents are preparing a petition asking removal of the lanes. Many motorists have offered critical comments; others have defended the fanes.

Being an admitted misanthrope I hate sweet smiling faces except on children and dogs. The discotheque go-g-o girls wear fixed and permanent smiles as the candidates do because they have to dance inside a cage, or on top of a bar, and if they dropped the smiles they would look stark naked.

So now I know that a discotheque is a .night club where people go to dance the new dances, and the go-ggirls are paid to show them how to do it, and encourage them' on.

An easier way to learn some of the new dances is to watch the antics of the animals after-whi- ch they have been named, such as the Monkey, Chicken, Bird and Dog. I hateto appear unpatriotic, but contrary to general belief the discotheque did not originate in the United States, but in France. The first of the Disco dances to be introduced here was the Twist, which was invented by a young Negro orchestra leader named Chubby Checkers.

A dermatolo- - gist tells me that no skin test can be made for such drugs as penicillin and the sulfas. A Allergy to such drugs as penicillin, the sulfas, aspirin quinine, some vitamin preparations, castor oil and cascara, and the barbiturates Is common. There Is no danger from taking the oral poliomyelitis vaccine or tetanus toxoid but an allergic reaction from injected polio vaccine and antitetanus, serum is possible. For those drugs for which preliminary sensitivity made b a minute injection into the skin is not possible, a different type of skin test a patch test can be madev Q-- My husband gets up eight or nine times a night to urinate ; " but only passes one ' or ; two ounces each time.

Planning Ahead For Retirement Important test "It is just as importimf for retired people to plan some way use their time as it is to plan for a comfortable place to live to and money for the necessities of life," says a home management ' specialist.

Wives who would like an answer to that question claim their husbands sit around home all day with the television blasting away, expect to be waited on constantly, don't want their wives to go off and leave them toe even a few hours at a time, and are so at loose ends themselves that they make their wives feel restless, unhappy and caged. --- -Such husbands .and wives: thought they were well prepared for retirement before it happened to them. The have their homes and all the time hi the world to do and an adequate income v to . do. want what they But by forgetting to plan ahead for how they will use all that 'time, they find it hanging heavy. And they find that a couple who has complete togetherness with nothing to do can beginjo get on each other's nerves in a hurry. The time for a couple to plan how they a.-- going to spend their time in retirement Is yesrs before they reach retirement age. That's the time for them to make the friends whose companionship they can count on. That's the time to develop the interests and find the hobbies that can be carried into the retirement years.
