Con ODriscoll of Bridgeland and Syerl Dennis of Myton both look forward today, with a rather helpless feeling we believe, to the task of caring for large broods of children whose mothers lives were snuffed out during the week suddenly, and unexpectedly and tragically. Great numbers of friends and neighbors have immediately come forth in both instances to make lighter, if possible, by word, by deed and by mere presence, the hour of trial and the appreciation these men have felt can hardly be described. May we not hope that at least part of these hosts of sympathizers will continue their thoughts of kindness to help ease the burden of the many, many hours of trial lying ahead. REMEMBER THE BLIND SPOT With this issue of the Record we publish the fourth and last of our series of pages on highway safety. With it we want to stress again the great importance of the nationwide effort to bring greater public safety to our highways. Safety on the highways depends on three principal elements, the condition of the highway, the condition of the automobile and the personal equation of the individual or individuals using them, and this includes in no small degree the pedestrians who walk along or across the highways. There are many dos and donts which could be written on the subject of highway safety. In a recent editorial we stressed the importance of courtesy on the highway, taking the position that the courteous driver is usually a pretty safe driver. The man in a wreck is usually the man who demands his full rights on the highway, or the man who is even infringing on some other fellows rights. The men who are more concerned about their lives than their rights, and who are willing to give and take on the highway are most all still driving, unscathed and happy. Getting down to something more specific we would call attention to what is perhaps the greatest the potential source of accidents on the highway Blind Spot created every time two cars meet each other on the highway at night; the twenty-fiv- e to a hundred feet of roadway just behind the other cars headlights which no driver can see while the other lights are in his eyesHow many times have you passed a car, naturally swerving close to the shoulder of the road to provide an extra foot of clearance as the two cars pass, - so-call- ed - Lusty of Provo came in Friday morning to attend thfe services of the niece, Claray Evans, baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arden Evans of Upalco, who died at a hospital in Salt Lake City Thursday, February 15.

Any how many times have you, as a pedestrian been walking along a highway and been surprised when two cars passed each other one of them coming much closer to you than you thought necessary. If this has happened, remember that while you as a pedestrian can see both cars clearly and the road on which they are driving, both of the drivers on the other hand are faced with the necessity of driving into this blind spot, hoping and trusting that the road is clear ahead? We believe that much good can be done by a thorough understanding especially on the part of pedestrians of this phenonenon of night driving a phenomenon of which many who are not frequent drivers are wholly unaware, or to which they have given little thought. The next time you walk, or ride a horse or a bicycle or drive a team along a highway at night, remember these blind spots. Death forks in every one of them.

None of the players were on especially well, but they played a fairly smooth game all the way through.

The team is vcy confident that they are capable of bringing home the bacon, and from scores of other games of the season, it certainly looks feasible.
