Show ht8SnUmfun Only One Cure For Drunk Driving" alcohol-cloude- lieve the trend toward realism and sober recognition of the seriousness of this problem is growing among our citizens, to a degree greater than most of the judges recognize. As examples of the tougher public attitude toward drunk driving that is needed, Dr. Strasser had two principal suggestions: 1. Provide for automatic consent of the driver to submit to a recognized drunk test, by breath, blood, saliva or urine, any time he is apprehended under suspicion of such a violation. This could be accomplished by legislatively providing that a driver would have to agree to such a condition before being issued an original or renewal of his driving privilege. At the present time, drivers in most states do not have to submit to such a test if they choose not to, and there is some flyspeck thinking that such a condition might be an invasion of a persons inherent civil rights. The truth is that driving a car is not an inherent civil right, but a privilege granted by the state, and revocable by the state. Any logical condition in the public interest can be attached to the granting of this privilege. Such a scientific method of determining intoxication is helpful to the courts and the motor vehicle licensing departments in providing a factual basis for removing a driver from the road. These recognized tests for intoxication should also be specifically declared admirable evidence in every courtroom. In many states (Cafilornia for example), the present law says only that this kind of evidence may be admissable. Dr. Strasser reminded that the admissibility of intoxication tests was given a big boost just this past few weeks when the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in a New Mexico case that a blood test showing intoxication of a drunk driver was in the public interest, and upheld the conviction of the driver involved. When such tests become standard practice and are available in every drunk driving Dr. Strasser said, the case, law could be carried out with more uniform justice than the hit and mostly miss manner in which it now operates. 2. The judges, who possess wide powers of discretion in the interpretation and decision in traffic cases, should be encouraged by the voters to seek a more uniform, stern justice in drunk driving cases, Dr. Strasser said. The enforcement of laws in the courts on drunk driving and v ' i. other serious traffic offenses is perhaps the weakest link in the puny chain of protection the public has been able to raise against the highway menace. Too often the wide disparity between the punishment given similar offenders is so pronounced as to make traffic control a thing of chance. There is a job of self education for the judges to do in their among themselves so conferences and journals that more than just a handful will carry out their responsibility to society. No one wants to tie judicial hands unnecessarily or crush individual judgment with inflexible rules, but I suggest that judges recognize that a felony in a traffic case Is just as much a felony as a burglary or grand theft. America cannot afford such Mutt and Jeff justice. l -- V.. FLOCK SHOT Pictured is an elk herd on their Winter Range in Yellowstone National Park, one of many in that area.

States Accident Prevention Expert San Francisco, March 13 There is but one cure for the tragedy wrought by the drunk driver on our highways. We must remove him from the road. There is but one way to remove him from the road. Treat him as the criminal he is. Jail him. Fine him. And, by all means, deprive him of his driving privileges, perhaps for life. The failure of the nation to exact such punishment is the reason that drinking will be involved in one out of every four fatal accidents on' American highways this year, according to Dr. Marland K. Strasser, accident prevention specialist for the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, an organization which has been studying traffic problems for 30 years. We will begin to solve the problem of drunk driving when, and only when, we take the necessary realistic approach to our problem. Up to now, very few of us have been completely realistic. Not the legislatures, not the police and courts, and certainly not we, the people. Dont look for a single scapegoat, for we all share in this sacrifice to apathy and alcohol. Legislators have written laws with built-i- n escape clauses: police are frequently too lenient or grow lax because so many of the guilty go free; judges dont want to crusade for punishment which they arent sure has the support of the electorate, and the people when sitting on juries are prone t o acquit notoriously drunk drivers when the charge Is anything which will make stiff punishment inevitable. We are all horror stricken that 40,000 people died in traffic last year, perhaps ten thousand of them because of alcohol, but we have refused to take the steps necessary to stop it." Despite this discouraging history, Dr. Strasser said, the citizens of every state are now facing new developments in the use of the automobile which make an even greater toll of lives so likely that for the sake of morality alone, we must reevaluate our position. Pointing out that cars are becoming faster and more powerful, and new super roads encourage higher speeds, the safety specialist said, if drinking can cause so much, horror now, consider what terror it will bring when some of us, with d minds and anesthetized senses, try to control runaway cars on the straightaway roads of tomorrow." Although he is not altogether hopeful that the nation will completely overcome its muddled attitude on drunken drivers, Dr. Strasser said that he does be ''-- ?

One of the side effects of insecticides that must be watched most closely is that of residue on plants. The nature and amount of insecticide residue left on plants after the application of any insecticide is being closely watched, as a result of the Miller Bill, a recent Federal regulation. For this reason, it is more important than ever before to follow label directions to the letter. l Buddy Bomar ISBCWUn AGAivrfr ySteve OoT A COUPLE OP Nag- YOU WILL NEVER Man is mistaken HANDY-PAK- peas; S.

SAFETY FIRST FOR FORAGE V iN.wUl.g.j f Gunnison, Utah CROPS Forage crops require special consideration in the use of insecticides because they are used for animal feed. Be sure to select an insecticide for forage crops for Which tolerance has been established under the Miller Bill. One such insecticide is Heptachlor, commonly used in this area for many years. NO CONTAMINATION OF MILK! Heptachlor provides effective control of forage insects without contaminating milk. Tolerance for the use of Heptachlor on forage crops has been established under the Miller Bill, and confirmed by extensive tests. Among these tests was a special study made by the USDA, in which dairy cattle were fed alfalfa treated with Heptachlor at recommended dosages. Chemical analysis showed no trace of Heptachlor in milk from the test cattle. Because Heptachlor la such an effective insecticide, minimum amounts have residual effectiveness, and yet are safe for use on crops fed to animals. EXPERT ADVICE AVAILABLE For more information and specific recommendations on the control of alfalfa weevils and other insects on forage crops, see your county agent, local insecticide dealer, or contact your state agricultural college. Any one of them can give you help in planning a safe and effective insect control program. |
