ONE PLAN, submitted by Davis County Attorneys Scott Holt and Val Roberts, would attorcall for two half-tim- e e neys instead of one attorney and two para-legaids. Legal Aid Inc. proposed the plan. The other proposal, suggested by four Deputy County Attorneys, is similar to Judi-car- e proposals now in effect in Box Elder and Cache Counties. The Judi-car- e plan would provide legal services to the indigent at 80 percent of full-tim- normal fee. Maximum cost would be $300 per case.

Fmeipemcy Foe ions Foeo SMdoeu Davis County Commissioners tentatively agreed to set up a station with a fire frequency so that Davis County Emergency Service Director John Zippro can communicate with all Davis County firemen in case of emergency THE commission voted to accept a bid of $3,273 by Motorola, contingent on Davis County communities supplying their fire department with mobile communication units. Commissioner Glen Flint said the council will give final approval for the communication station when Mr. Zippro get approval from the communities. Mr. Zippro says fire departments from Davis County, Bountiful, North Salt Lake, Layton and Clearfield already have mobile units that can receive communications during emergencies. AT THE present time, emergency instructions must be relayed through the Davis County Sheriffs Office. This ties up the Sheriffs unit, Mr. Zippro said. The emergency system, if approved, would for fire have two channels-o- ne and the other for ambulance. The money needed for the emergency system is available in the emergency services budget. It was orginally budgeted for a secretary for the department. MR. SPRADLING ex- pressed approval of the plan. Communications are one of the big problems during emergencies, he said. He cited the Teton Dam as an example.

This thinking process seems to be simple in nature but police report having seen several motorcyclists in nature but police report having seen several motorcyclists riding their machines without any hands on the handles. This may look good to some people but one bump and its all over. And third the booklet states you should think if I had to stop, how far would I travel. This means dont tailgate, if the car in front of you suddenly turns and you are too close chances are in the colision the motorcyclist will come out the worst off. THE booklet notes that if any of these three thinking ideas are in doubt then the motorcyclist shouldnt kid himself, and to remember that caution and safe driving go hand-in-han- The sport of motorcycling can be both fun and safe if all parties involved will only but use good judgement, and thats all the police ask.
