This sows to be the week of oddities of nature, which can be seen by reports coaming to my desk. v E v DAY" ON DECEMBER FIFTEENTH, . STATES . IS GOAL OF FORTY-EIGHNot a Single traffic accident in Utah on December 15th! That is the objective of an unprecedented drive which began today through a joint proclamation by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Governor J. Bracken Lee.' December 15th has been designated in the joint proclamation as Day (Safe Driving Day). By so doing, Utah will join the other 47 states and the District of Columbia in the intensive effort to erase traffic accidents for one day, at least. It is to be a day to demonstrate that traffic accidents can be avoided when all motorists and pedestrians do their part in observing the law and rules of safety. Heading up the state program of publicity and promotion, which will precede Day, is L. Darrel Welling, of Salt Lake City, who has been appointed by Governor Lee as State Day director. Mr. Welling is also president of the Utah Safety Council. Local Day directors have been asked to organize local committees to push the program throughout the month. This is an opportunity and a challenge for all types of organizations to join in a common effort against a common enemy the traffic accident toll, Mr. Welling said. We hope that the resources of all organizations and gToups can be so pooled as to make possible the accomplishment of this great objective. Mr. Welling also pointed out that as the result of traffic accidents last year, 209 persons were killed, over 5,000 injured, and an economic loss of $23,000,000 susS-- A TOOTH STORY To start off the week Mrs. Howard Dean and Iher mother- - nda w dropped into the office Saturday to take care of a little business, and in our con- versation Mrs, Dean told me a rather unusual story of her young baby boy, which was bom Oat. 24 with two teeth. Tilings sort at averaged out far the Doans though their first child, a daughter now 6 years old, was over a year before she got her first tooth. , A PHEASANT STORY Youve been hearing fish stories all summer, and tales about deer hunting for several weeks. Now comes BILL MANN, Duchesne Cafe and hotel operator, with a pretty fair Pheasant yam Bill told me the other day he and his hunting dog came up with their limit of roosters within an hour after hitting the field without ever firing his shot-gun-. . . Bills dog ran down three roosters that had been wounded by some other . . hunter. THE AMBITIOUS APPLE TREE is a story Mrs. Rachel Bates, office manager and reporter for the Record at Duchesne, sent in of an apple tree in the yard of BUD Thompson on Duchesne that had just given up its second crop of apples this year. According to Bud his freak apple tree gave up a harvest of apples in the spring, and now another is ready. Rachel says, We wonder what our beautiful weather and the change of the climate will do next if it can confuse an apple tree to that extent. CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE We must not pass by without offering a word of commendation to Mrs. COLLEEN MANTYLA, Duchesne County chairman of the Tuberculosis & Health, Association, and her committees who did such a bang-u- p job with the recent visit of the ::TB Chest and Blood Testing unit that came here test week. We havent any figures on how many went through the line in Duchesne, Myton, Roosevelt and t, but the success of it all was in a great measure due to the fine organizational job done by Mrs. Mantyla. A late report reveals 2,068 persons were tested in three days. k T S-- D S-- D S-- D S-- D tained. Traffic accidents up to November 12th of this year have killed a total of 170 persons in Utah, and have cost over $18,000,000 in economic losses, he added. We knotw that accidents can be avoided by careful driving, and in demonstrating this fact on December 15th there is no reason why each succeeding day could not be Mr. Welling concluded. equally accident-free- , 30 X-r- ay Alta-mlon- A FINE RECORD BY A FINE TEAM Everyone who backed or who saw Union High Schools 1954 Football Team will agree with me that it was a fine team and one worthy of unified praise.
