EckUtaU Drinking And Driving The comhiiiiition of drinking and then driving is putting increasingly more people in morgues and hospitals and junking more cars than ever before. Last year in the state of Utah police records showed that 5(i!) persons involved in traffic accidents had been drinking. And indications are that this year the trend is up. A recent survey covering lid states indicates an alarming increase in drunken driving. In more than half the states covered, this increase ranged from 50 to 100 percent. Drinking was the cause ot one out of every six fatal traffic accidents in the United States last year. The driver who kids himself into believing he can hold his liquor," or take one or two quick ones and still be a sate driver is sooner or later liquidated in the casualty column. If he were endangering only his own life, that would be his problem. But when his erratic, driving threatens the lives of others, he becomes a highway menace to be dealt with by the law. Repeated tests prove that alcohol has a depressing effect upon driver reactions, vision and good judgment. The real drunk seldom gets far. He either runs off the road or stops and falls asleep. But the person with just enough alcohol in his system to become carefree and irresponsible is particularly dangerous behind a wheel. Its nobodys business whether a person should drink or not, but its everybody's business to get tough with the driver who insists on imperiling his life and the lives of others by drunken driving. There is only one common-sens- e answer to this particular accident problem If you drink, dont drive; if you must drive, don't lirinld . ol Why Not Buy Both? Finally, fortunately, the faint spark of that has lurked these many years in the breasts of the American citizenry appears to be growing again into a feeuie llame which steadily is gaining strength. Its a fine thing, but let s not let this flame become as the phrase goes for flames. ' Next week, Monday through Saturday, both the American Legion and the Veterans of b oreigq Wars are conducting their annual poppy sales. The Buddy Roppy and the I .egion Poppy" are famous. Both have contributed in a major way, through the years, to the happiness and welfare of many disabled veterans of the last war, to their wives and their families, to widows and orphans of their buddies. It isn t much these two organizations each of them are asking you to do. Theyre asking you each of them to wear their ppy in your lapel, to show that youve helped. Don t let the tact that youve bought one poppy be your excuse for passing up a chance to help with the other. iBotn organizations are deserving, their poppy sales programs are serving equally deserving men and their families. So next week, dont just wear a puppv. Wear a y corsage. Give them each a, dime, if that is all you feel you can do. But think it over, just a moment, and a little deeper. Don t let this new salesdigresistance get away with you. sales-resistan- two-popp- The Encouraging Word Its easy to say, these days, Somebody ought to get busy and do something about Bushnell. There are a good many individuals in Brigham City and Box Elder county, working together in several groups and trying to do everything they can about Lushned. But its hard to know what is the best thing to do, what can jusi he done, and how to go about doing it. Theyre trying to get those answers, too The sale or lease of .Bushnell. it appears, wont be all buttoned up when the y period lrom May li winds up, a week from tomorrow. It looks like negotiations may be rather long and drawn out. Its not just a matter of going in and saying. "Brigham City wants Bushnell more than anybody else, so give it to us. It isnt even so simple as going out. the president of some big industrial corporation, telling him. You can get Bushnell hospital from the Reconstruction Finance corporation for a song, and Brigham City would be a good place for you to operate a branch plant, with the captain of industry replying. Okay, its a deal. Lets get going."
