Many centuries ago. three Wise Men made a long journey and they arrived safely. The purpose of their trip to Bethlehem was to celebrate the hirth of the Christ child. ' years Now, one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-folater, many men will journey to their own birthplace to join family and friends in celebrating that same birthday anniversary Christmas. These men will travel differently by high speed motor vehicles but if they are wise men they, too, can arrive safely. It is ironic that this Christian occasion should be the most deadly from an accident standpoint, the National Safety Council says. Last year, 519 persons were hilled in Christmas weekend traffic accidents and December 24th is the mosit dangerous day of the year in traffic. Early darkness and (bad weather, which add up to poor visibility, increase holiday traffic hazards. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid acciur 's dent situations. Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and highways. Good fellowship stimulates more drinking, often before driving. And thousands of unwise men fail to adjust their driving speeds to' these hazardous conditions. To overcome the added hazards of the season, the Council says, more wise men, bearing gifts of extra caution, courtesy and common sense, are needed. Then the traditional spirit of Christmas Peace on Earth, Good will spread over the highways of the land. Will to Men V E v I Must Be A Safe Driver Always. . . Yes, I know War is a terrible killer. Yet since 1941 more Americans have been killed on our highways than in World War II and the Korean War together. This is a frightful and frightening price to pay for individual indifference to' careless driving. There is just one way to stop this slaughter. I must make It my personal rule to drive safely always. I must dedicate myself to follow My Code of The Road. I must help other to adopt it as their own.

By Harry Marlowe City officials from all over Utah will be watching with great interest the efforts of Salt Lake City to get the 1955 Utah Legislature to approve a measure which will permit cities, if they desire, to levy a municipal sales tax. There are few Utah cities who do not badly need a source of additional revenue. There are also few who can go any further into the property tax source than they have already t gone. The idea of a municipal sales tax is not new. Many cities throughout the United States have used that device in the past. As yet, however, nothing has come of the proposal. Now Salt Lake City has reached the end of its fiscal rape. It cannot go further into property tax sources for income. The 22.5 mill levy for city government is already high. Neither can the city fathers figure out any other plan which will bring in revenue for badly needed improvements. So, they plan to' ask the legislature for permissive legislation to levy a sales tax of one cent on the dollar. If the Legislature approves this method of raising revenue, it will open the door for any oity which wishes to take the same step. It will require a local city ordinance to put the sales tax into effect. There are still a good many people who wonder if the idea Will work. A good many people in Salt Lake City who do not live in the city, but who work there, contribute very little to the economy of the oity except through purchases. But, would 'those people still buy most of their goods in the aiity if they had to pay an extra one per cent for them? It could lead to a boom for the merchants in Murray, Holla-daMidvale and other incorporated areas of the county. A city sales tax in Salt Lake City might also have some effect on the sales of merchants in other Utah cities. Over the past years, a good many people have formed the habit of buying a large share of their purchases in Salt Lake Oiity since the stores are larger and there is perhaps a larger selection. A sales tax in Salt Lake City might well result in a pick up y, This Weeks RECIPE . . .

Vernal, Heber City, Bountiful, Logan, Brigham City, Nephd and other such Utah cities. Whatever the effect of the tax is, city officials in every city and town in the state will be closely watching the Legislature and Salt Lake City in the earning months. If the tax works in Salt Lake, it might work elsewhere. And, if it does not work in the big city, then some of the officials in smaller areas might well look to some other untapped source of revenue, if they can find one.
