Show Beware of Propaganda School for Retarded Nears Basketball- - The people of Salt Lake County have just gone a series of propaganda through another brainwashing articles loaded wilh emotion but bare of facts, designed as a "soft sell" of metropolitan government. The thread of thought carried through the series is that metropolitan government will cure all the evils that beset lis, save money, lower taxes, and perform miracles. At no lime, however, is there any mention of how much money can he saved, or how much taxes can be lowered. If these things can really le achieved, is there any reason why specific facts cannot be given? Yes, there is one reason: Metropolitan government will cost more. F.xamples are cited of areas where metropolitan government has leen tried. This type, of government is presently in effect in less than a dozen communities, and Vnost of these are in trouble. Only two are similarly set up lo the plan proposed for Salt Lake County. One of these js too new to judge,- the other is in dire straits.' The fact is, metropolitan government just does not avork. !

They neglect to mention that the low rate will go up. What this amounts to, of course, is that county residents will be taxed to pay city expenses, if the county people are foolish as to vote "yes" on the constitutional amendment next November. ' The articles are unfair and misleading. They stress that the county has 70 taxing districts, but fail to point out that metropolitan government would have 71 taxing districts. One would be added, but not one could be dropped. Another misleading statement is that the city "pays twice" for some services, such as garbage removal, but it is never pointed out that the city gets 72 of the beneof the cost. Which fits of the county hospital for 40 makes up for a lot of garbage! ' Although the Metropolitan Government Survey of 1956 is referred to, mention is carefully avoided of the fact that the city would have 10 of the 15 members on the council. too, is the fact that all of the county's four school districts would he rolled into one, with the council in charge instead of a board of education.

Winterizing cars is important, but winterizing driving habits is equally important. Here is a checklist, prepared by the Utah Saftey Council, for winterizing cars that will increase safety and comfort from now until the iirst warm breezes of March. Flush the cooling system, check the radiator and hoses for leaks and put in thd recommended amount of antif freeze to cars at least to 20 degrees below zero. Tires: Don't wait until the first snowfall to have snow tires installed. Check the other tires at the same time. Turns: Turns on snow or ice should be made gradually. Momentum will want to cause a car to continue traveling in its Chains: A set of reinforced tire chains in the trunk of the car is extra insurance against getiitig stuck when the first big snow hits. Windshield wipers: Be sure that the rubber on wiper blades has not become worn or brittle. Have the arm pressure adjusted to one ounce for each inch of blade length in order to scrape off wet snow or sket. In Utah weather, windshield washers are recommended. Thn Defroster: defroster should keep windshields clear of fog and should be capable of melting ice in a short time. Lights: Check headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals. Muffler: A muffler and exhaust system in good condition is especially important during cold weather when windows are closed much of the time. Make sure that exhaust is not getting through the heating system. A mufiler does hot have to be noisy to leak. At least one window should be open for proper ventilation. Now some pointers on winterizing driving. Visibility: On days when ice forms on the outside of the windshield, scrape it completeto ly off before attempting drive. A little peep-holis not enough. Equally important are clear rear window and front side windows. Lights: With the end of daylight saving time and the early approach of evening, many people drive to and from work in the dark or in the gray shadows of dusk. Use headlights, not parking lights, under these conditions. At twilight the driver may not be able to see much better with headlights on, but other drivers and pedestrians will be able to see the approaching car. A good rule to follow is to use headlights whenever the sun isn't shining, especially on the highway. Stopping and Starting: On glare ice the kind of ice that can be seen through and that is frequently at intersections-stopp- ing distance is increased as much as 10 times with regular tires. Snow tires help somewhat, but even with reinforced tire chains it takes nearly four times as long to come to a complete stop. Plan ahead. Wet ice is more dangerous to the driver than comparatively dry ice. Emergency stops: Avoid them by increasing the distance between the car in front and by being alert for pedestrians and cross-traffiIf a sudden stop is necessary on packed snow or ice, pump the brake. Locking the wheels will only cause a skid and possibly loss of control. Deflating tires, by the way, does not increase traction. P?
