The scanner can be altered to cover two-lan- e highways, or the opposite lanes on the freeway. On level ground, it records for- ward distances of more than a quarter mile. TNPhoto Coming or going new device tells your speed! Youre by REG on radar coming or going! motorists have noticed a new on the left side of automobiles being driven by Utah Highway Patrolmen. The gadget is a piece of sophisticated electronic equipment which enables officers to determine the speed of all vehicles on the highways whether they are coming toward the patrol car, or going away from it. Most gadget" d . . Weve been interested in how the apparatus works, so we convinced Patrolman Paul Mangelson that we ought to have a demonstration. We still are in the dark as to how it works, other than it uses a minicomputer plus the principles of radar to measure speed. The viewing screen, the part which sits on the outside of the cark. picks up the radar signals as they bounce from the approaching car, and the calculates the speed of the approaching vehicle in a split second. The sweep (angle) of the viewing part can be changed to monitor approaching e vehicles on a highway, or to monitor approaching vehicles across the partitions between a section of freeway. Cars traveling in the same direction can also be monitored. With the viewer headed down the highway, the patrol car can be stopped and the apparatus changed from moving to stationery and the reading immediately shows the speed of the cars moving away from the patrol car. In order to have concrete information on the accuracy of the device, each patrolman is required to test it daily. Tuning forks are used to make three tests to verify the accuracy of the readings. What is the device doing for traffic control? During my ride of a couple of miles immediately south of Nephi the other afternoon, I noted several cars that were traveling above the 55 miles per hour speed limit, one at 64 and one at 66. And, surprisingly enough, the machine vividly recorded an immediate slowdown as the patrolmans car came into the view of the approaching vehicles. Patrolmen in District F Juab and Millard Counties issued 9,248 tickets during 1974, an increase of almost 2500 tickets over the prior year. This number included both warning and arrest tickets, Patrolman Mangelson said. mini-comput- two-lan- From tne mail bag: Raises in pay often lowered the familys overall purchasing power in 1974, according to a recent report received at the TN desk. In a cited case, a family received an 11 percent income adjustment in 1974 because of inflation; and if all things were normal in the way of deductions, they would have to pay 20 percent more in Federal income taxes and 26 percent more in state income taxes. At least this is what the Utah Foundation reports. If youre going to make a charitable contribution of property to an organization, you must furnish an information statement to support the deduction fr such contribution, the IRS says. And if you need help, ask for publication 526 which details the info needed. e At a fraction of the cost of a Army, the National Guard is providing more than 30 percent of our national defense force, says Major General Maurice L. Watts, Adjutant General of the Utah National Guard. It would appear that the taxpayer is getting his moneys worth in this field.

He recently has been honored with life membership in the American Academy of Family Physicians. We hope his membership lasts for many, many years. We sorta conveyed the wrong idea ... in the Scouting article on page one last issue, we stated something to the effect that the boys involved had a sufficient number of merit badges for Eagle Scout rank. We should have said Although the boys have a sufficient number of badges for Eagle Scout rank, there are a few specific required merit badges which they have yet to earn." Sorry, fellows.

Westring's member of UTC board Theo Westring of Nephi. a member of the Juab School District Board of Education. and retired businessman, has been appointed to the advisory board of Utah Technical College at Provo.

A blaze which started early Tuesday Greenwood fire Estimates place the loss at Greenwoods at "$25,000 to $30,000 for equipment and about the same for the building following an early morning fire on Tuesday. The tire retreading shop, at the rear of the main garage building, was completely gutted by the blaze. The estimate was made by Steve Greenwood. owner of the business. Greenwood said that the fire is believed to have started in an electrical control panel which was located in the center of the building. This was the initial conclusion of Boyd Park, Nephi City Fire Chief, Greenwood said. The fire alarm was turned in by Legislative Report As state money are floating or they are on the table, because there is no way to tell how much state money will be forthcoming. Bills which appropriate money will be held until total revenues are estimated. This cannot be done until new tax measures are passed. There is the income tax measure which was defeated in the Senate. It was for $14 million. On the spend side are items of local interest such as the bonding bill which has $3 million for a physical education facility at Snow College, and $2.5 million for Sevier Valley Tech Center. A bill for $250 thousand for Palisade Park was tabled on the third reading calendar. We also have a $208 million Public School bill, and $87 million for Higher Education. I guess you get what you pay for. Im going to vote for the income tax raise, and against sales and property tax raises. The Senate passed and I voted for the Utah Uniform Probate Code bill. It wont go into effect until 1977 and must be passed by the House. This code should save trouble, time, and money for settling estates like you and I will leave. We sent to the Senate a measure which will help pay tuition for members of the National Guard who do not get scholarships. This should bolster the Guard. The State Board of Education is very powerful and its relationship to the local School Board reminds me of the man who had a son. Now this son did not always do as his father told him to do. So one day the father took the boy out to the woodshed to give him a thrashing. Before the father started he asked the boy, Now you understand why I must spank you?. Yes, answered the boy, Because you are bigger than me.

The garage building was damaged by smoke, Greenwood said.
