Traffic safety is now in the category of ttlg business. It is well known in the business world that a large corporation such as a manufacturer of automobiles must utilize the most expert advice available to determine a year in advance what the price should be for new models; which models will best satisfy the public, what materials (type and quantity) will be needed; how the advertising campaign should be handled; what production facilities will be required, and what the cost per unit of production will be. t All these things are basic in determining Just what equation will best yield the correct answer for the following year in the basic law of economics the law of supply and demand. An error in judgment in any of these applicable factors, could result in the loss of millions of dollars, and could even ruin the corporation. And so it is now with traffic safety. The safety movement is progressing on all fronts, including enforcement, engineering and education. An error in judgment could result in the loss of thousands of lives over the country. It is Indeed big business. In the advertising world, the finest advertising layouts are aimed at specific groups to accomplish specific objectives. The same method must be applied now in the field of traffic safety. The time is gone when a blanket campaign smothering all avenues with routine material will succeed. Specific campaigns must be set up on the local level and carried out vigorously to accomplish the desired results. Loal communities, local newspapers, local radio stations, and local safety councils must cooperate. They are the local agents in the big business of safety. SO S.C.S.

It was indeed a mystery to her sponsors and also to many strangers who witnessed the contest, why she wasn t named as one of the finalists. However, Duchesne County is justly proud of its contestant, who vied for the Miss Utah title, and feels that her talent performance was excellent. She had the distinct honor of being the first contestant to entertain impromptu at the tea for the' contestants at the governor's mansion Friday afternoon, and received numerous compliments on her talent, her beauty and sociability.
