According to Mayor Otto Johnsen, owner of the store, and the one who reported the accident to the Record, the most disturbing thing about the whole affair is that a juvenile was driving a car with faulty brakes, and it is alleged, driving a car without permission of the own-e- r. The young girl involved in this accident is not necessarily being put on trial because she had an accident, but all youngsters who drive without licenses, or who are too young to qualify for a permit to drive, are violating a mighty serious law, and, according to Mr. Johnsen, will be aprehended if they persist in this sort of thing. Mayor Johnsen and the city council of Duchesne are urging parents to caution their youngsters about driving in violation of the law. Doog Noxt Tuocday can Anyth Inc?
