Continuing our support as a newspaper with national and state salety councils, a portion of my column this week is again being devoted to extending a plea for safety on our highways . . . The following editorial was prepared and released by the Utah Safety Council . , . . WILL YOU BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS? well-know- "That depends on how you drive your car between now and Christmas," declares G. Ernest Bourne, executive secretary of the Utah Safety Council, recently. The Safety Council lists eleven rules for safe walking which should always be kept in mind, no matter what the need of hurry may be; 1. Cross streets at CORNERS only. 2. Never walk into the street from behind parked cars. 2. Obey traffic signs and signals cross on GREEN or WALK only. 4. Wait on sidewalk not in street for GREEN or for gap in the traffic if corner has no traffic siglight nal. 5. Cross streets in crosswalks dont cross intersections diagonally. 6. Look LEFT and then RIGHT for traffic while crossing. Watch sharply for turning cars. 7. After getting off bus or streetcar, dont go around It, front or rear. Walt until it leaves before crossing. 2. Dont cross street when in unfit physical condition. Get glasses If your eyes are bad. 2. Don't play in or run into the street. 10. At night in poorly lighted street carry something white. Dont rely on drivers seeing you. 11. Walk on LEFT facing traffic where no side- walk ' is provided. v E v DUCHESNE STAKE GOLD-GREEBALL FLOOR SHOW WAS TOPS ... Last Friday it was my privilege, along with my wife and several of our friends to participate in the Duchesne Stake Gold and Green Ball held at the Duchesne Chapel. There wasnt anything particularly outstanding about , .... the dance itself that made it stand out above social affairs of its kind 1 have enjoyed in the past. .However, there was one phase of the program that did stand out the floor show, which featured approximately 40 young people from various wards in their Each of the participating wards presented stake a different dance, and then all joined in the opening number as well as the finale. The dance numbers ware outstanding, wd ton much praise cannot b pointed toward the participants and those who taught the young people. They were magnificent and I join others in publically praising them for their fine accomplishments. The most refreshing thing about the floor show was seeing young boys and girls taking part in an activity supported by the Mutual Improvement Association of the LDS Church, which will do much to develop their personalities and character. . . . Duchesne Stake MIA leaders should revel in the fine success they have at-- . tained in this respect, and most certainly they offer a challenge to other MIA- organizations and young men and women of MIA age. .... -- . 1 - - Tlv ....
