Barlow State Senator from Da is County The first few days were spent in organizing, swearing in of new members and the senate employes. We all met with the House of Representatives in joint session to hear the Governors message and the report of the Legislative Council. There are 23 members of the Senate. Ten members took the oath of office for the first time seven Senators are finishing the second half of their first terms, and eight are serving their second term or more. The new Senators are very fine and a high caliber of public servants. One cannot help but feel that the members will work together in a cooperative spirit, above political motives, the Republican even though majority is only one man. I would like to say that those Senators who have represented recent Davis County in the past, namely, Rendell N. James E. Burns, Ward C. Holbrook, and W'illiam A. Dawson, are well respected and well remembered. Ma-be- Each Legislator was assigned to four committees by the president of the Senate. Each Republican received a chairmanship as did three Democrats. I was assigned to the important Appropriation committee, and chairman of the Business and Commerce committee, one of the more important committees. I am also a member of the Political Subdivisions and Public Health, Welfare and Institutions committees. In the first week of the session there was very little to do. We met for only a few hours each day. We had various tatd agenoiea explain their programs, including the State Parks Commission.. This ii the hew commission tefc bp by the last legislature to Choose and purchase future state parks, and to preserve and promote one of our best products, that of natural scenic attractions for our tourists. This is close to a 100,000,000 annual business. There is much pressure on to bond the state if necessary to The carry out this program. 'tourist's stay in Utah is less than in our surrounding states, jet we have some of the most beautiful areas in the country. C hief concern is getting sites set up and protecting them. It was reported to the Senate that truck loads of petrified trees are being hauled from one of our promising park areas. he Park Commission Lc seekoi.T-haof ing $5 million with this amount for purchase and f for improvements. .1 lf one-hal- Second Week and they would prefer not having to take such corrective measures in this form of legislation.

Mr. Blaine said that the total precipitation measured was .67 of an inch, bringing the total for February thus far to .71 of an inch. During a normal water year, precipitation for the month of February is 1.1 inches. The following temperatures were recorded by Mr. Blaine during the past week: East Layton A zoning ordinance, the first for this community, will be presented to the town board this evening (Thursday) for approval.

I think how easily the accident might have been avoided, if some person had not had a heavy fool on the accelerator, or had not been in a hurry to get around the slow moving car ahead, or some other similar reason, there are little children without a father or mother, a woman without her husband or a man without his wife or children. When I go home from work after this accident I have it on iny mind constantly, . . If he had not been so impatient (or their need not discourteous) have been that body down in the mortuary. Yes, I think that an officer can be included with the family and friends in feeling badly about someone killed on our highways. After a few fatal accidents an officer learns to control his emotions fairly well when at the scene of one of these terrible accidents, but let me assure you that when be is alone he shudders for this needless waste of human life. Traffic accidents are a needless waste, because the biggest share of these accidents can be avoided. How you ask? Well, I have the solution. If every person when driving a car now, you know. In the late 1930s the would drive according lo the law given by Christ there would be none of this slaughter. Yes, DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. Be polite, be courteous, be ls abiding, and be aliTe. When an officer stops you and gives you a citation it is not because he has it in for you, it is becaue he is trying in his small way to keep jou from becoming a statistic, or a small article in the newspaper. This all probably sounds morbid, and it is, but if by being morbid 1 can keep one person from being killed in an auto accident then I am willing to be morbid for the rest of my life. Last year in Davis County the Utah Highway Patrol issued approximately lo.Oiio arrest citations and warning tickets. With all these contacts by the Highway Patrol we still had 10 persons lose their lives on highways and City streets in our County. So you can see that in order to completely do away with these deaths the responsibility must be shared by every man, woman and child in our County. Can you imagine the feeling of pride we can enjoy if we would go through the year (and the coming jeers) without a single one of our many thousands of residents being involved in a fatal accident on the highways. Do unto others as you would have them do onto you. Be polite, be '(courteous, be and be alive. -- MARY'S MEANDERINGS Do you THIS WEEKS OLD PHO TO was correctly identified as Mrs. .Vera Winegar Miller, Kaysville, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Win- egar, Kaysville.

The other major commercial zone would run north from the intersection of Valley View Road and Highway 89, which is just south of Cherry Lane. The proposed ordinance was brought to th attention of th town residents at a mass meeting two weeks ago, at which most of th townspeople expressed themselves favorably towards th plans. Following the meeting the planners agreed to take another look, and have now decided the ordinance should remain as proposed. Further plans for preparing for future the community growth is a road widening project which began on Cherry Lane this week.
