The Utah State Road Commission provided for the raised lijnit In a ruling last November. Brigham City Police Chief John Johnson warned that the new limit exists only on Main street and that on other streets within the city limits, the 25 r limit is still In force. He noted also that there ate school zones on Main street for the Lincoln and Central schools and that the legal limit within these zones is 20 miles - , ; per hour. the from the city Entering south, the speed limit is 40 miles per hour from 1,450 feet south of Seventh South to Seventh South. It is then 30 miles until the drives reaches a point 500 feet north of Seventh North. . From there to the citys north limit, it is 40 miles, Johnson said. 'f.All limits are in effect day and night, he added.' The raised limit has been put 'iq effect all across the state .and ujarf originated in belief that it would better handle the traffic flow, Johnson said. mile-an-hou- , Safely Program Set by South Farm Bureau This action is made necessary to provide management and coordination functions because the work will be performed at various Thiokol divisions. It does not replace anything that has been done or that would have been done at the various divisions. It is, however, made necessary because of the growth of the Thiokol organization. The office will have ten staff members to begin with, half being engineers and the remainder being clerical workers. The staff will ultimately be increased. The engineers will be transferred to Ogden from Thiokol plants in Texas, Alabama, Maryland and Brigham City. - Is Near Hill Air Base - . . The office is being opened in Ogden because 'vt its proximity tor Hill Air Force Base to which the Air Force has assigned prime, regional responsibility for administration of the secret rocket development contract Because the project management office is being opened so near to the Box Elder county plant, which is the only one geared for construction of large that rockets, it is anticipated much of the work will be done here. The Air Force recently awarded contracts totaling $755,000 to Thiokol for solid propellent rockets and boosters and announced that negotiations were in progress for additional contracts. The Air Force said $155,-00- 0 of the total contract was for solid propellent booster rockets and listed the other $600,000 merely as an engineering type contract. Other recent announcements reveal that Thiokol will expand its local plant by 25 percent and increase employment at the plant to about 1,000 within the next two years.

Two cameramen accompanied Goetz to get pictures which will be used on the railroad program. Also in the party was Dan Rainger of station KTVT in Salt Lake City and liason man for Wide, Wide World. K. E. Weight, president of the Golden Spike association, and Mrs. Bernice Ahderson, Corinne, pointed out historical features connected with this area. Goetz first reaction on reaching the site was one of disappointment that it had been so neglected. The indifference of the state of Utah and the railroads in preserving this site is appaling. It is a crime that everything once here symbolizing the linking of east and west is gone, Goetz explained. The site is so important that we could not think of putting on a program on American railroads without including this historical spot where the first transcontinental railroad was completed, he added.

Three other teen-ag- e girls were injured in the accident when the 1955 model car in which they were riding went out of control and rolled over twice about two miles east of Brigham City at 10:15 p. m. All are seniors at Box Elder High school as was the fatal victim. Released from Cooley hospital Saturday were Darlene Tracy, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abe Tracy, 419 South Fifth West, who suffered multiple contusions, lacerations, and abrasions; and Sherran Roche, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Roche, of Corinne, who suffered multiple contusions. Both were reported in good condition. The fourth girl and driver' of the car, Carol Yearsley, 18, was satisfacreported progressing torily at the local hospital. She sustained a , fractured jaw, severe scalp laceration, abrasions and contusions. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dee Yearsley, W'illard. Miss Silva was the victim of a skull fracture and brain injury. According to Trooper Leonard Jeppson, Utah State Highway Patrol, the car in which the girls were riding was headed west down the canyon. As the driver pulled out to pass a second vehicle, another car, aproachmg from the west forced the fatal vehicle to pull back quickly and it went out of control. Jeppson said all four victims were thrown from the car which apparently flipped over twice before coming to rest, right side d west-boun- up, in the bottom of an eight-foo- t embankment approximately 30 feet from the highway. The auto traveled 789 feet from the point of the first skid mark. The accident was reported to Brigham City police by a passing motorist. Jeppson listed the car, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Yearsley, as a ' total loss. Requiem mass was celebrated for Miss Silva, Monday, in St. Henrys parish with the Reverend Francis P. Dunn officiating.
