Representatives of the state A.D.A. Cheese Caravan Committee will help tell about the nutritional value and the delicious flavors of Utah cheese. The caravan will meet in Salina at 3:45 p.m. in front of the American Legion Hall. Special features and cheese presentations will be made here.

A. Official Sets Information Visit In Area The Veterans Administration today announced that Russell R. Neilan, Contact Representative from the Salt Lake Regional Office, will be at the Richfield Employment Office, October 10 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., to furnish information on veterans benefits and their dependents. Special emphasis will b e placed during this visit on the problem of bringing the status of beneficiary designations on GI life insurance. VA has encountered several recent Utah cases where the veteran has failed to change his beneficiary and payment of his insurance had to be made to a divorced wife who had remarried, and where a current wife and children got nothing, since the VA is required by law to pay insurance proceeds to the beneficiary of record, whether or not that person is still in any way connected with the veteran. It is also worth noting that a new sequence of beneficiaries should generally be made after a marriage, birth or death in the insureds family. It should be emphasized that any veteran in doubt as to the designation of beneficiary on file should immediately take steps to name the beneficiaries of his choice. Mr. Neilan will have the forms at the Employment Office to assist and counsel veterans in the proper naming of their beneficiaries, as well as all other veterans problems with such things as pensions, GI loans, GI schooling, hospitalization, etc. te nec-.essa- ry essary will be sold. Notice of the election appears on another page in this newspaper, and will appear once each week for five weeks. For several months, boosters of the project have made extensive studies, including a test with a portable unit. Reception was varied in localities ranging from good to poor and blackout. However, it was stated when the job was completed, all three Salt Lake City T. V. channels would be received. At the present time, a portion of Sevier County receives TV direct; other sections are served by the Sevier T V Cable, owned and by T. Collins Jackson, others have no picture at all. Reaction in the North Sevier area is varied. Those with sets in Redmond and Salina seem generally satisfied and unwillof a mill or ing to be taxed 75c per thousand valuation to get another channel. They would also have to put out about $90 for a converter and special antenna. Opponents of the county system also state the present cable system seems adequate, and to change would be driving private enterprise out of business. Those favoring the system state many more people would be able to get TV under the county project; an additional channel would be brought in, and with everyone helping pay a portion, the cost would be small. Pro and con discussion of the proposed project will be carried by this newspaper during the weeks prior to the election, to enable voters to decide for themselves the merit of the project, and to vote accordingly. Mrs. Tina Shepherd, mother of Mrs. Ray Blackham, and Lon Hansen of Mt. Pleasant, visited Sunday at the Blackham home. Teenage Safety Month Set September 27th To October 31st A series of events involving high school students in the interest of improved traffic safety began Saturday, September 28th with the annual high school safety economy run, and will be culminated with the sending of two Utah teenage delegates to the first annual National Teenage Traffic Safety Conference at Chicago, Illinois on October 20th. In between these two events, a Teenage Traffic Safety Conference will be held at Salt Lake City on October 10th. In the interest of stimulating interest and encouragement by all Utah citizens in these activities, Governor George D. Clyde has proclaimed the month beginning September 27th and ending October 31st as Teenage Safety Month. The text of Governor Clydes statement follows: A STATEMENT Because traffic accidents represent one of the greatest social problems of American life today and cause an intolerable loss of life and property, and attendant human suffering, and that our younger drivers are currently having a highly disproportionate share of involvement in such traffic accidents, but at the same time constitute the future citizens of our state and nation, and the majority of them are highly responsible and sincere in their desire to improve the driving record of their age group, and Because a series of important events involving our high school students are to occur during the coming month, which events are designed to encourage and assist in the development of better driving practices among these people, I, therefore, declare the month beginning September 27, 1957, and ending October 31, 1957, as TEEN-AGSAFETY MONTH and I call upon all citizens of E the State of Utah to join in assisting and encouraging the success of this special month. Through exemplary performance and such encouragement, we all can make a significant contribution to the beginning of a new and better era of traffic safety among our younger citizens and all people generally. S George D. Clyde, Governor. A number of Utah organizations have joined to the two Utah delegates to the Chicago Conference. In addition to the Conference, October 20th, the Utah high school students will have the opportunity to attend the week-lon- g Youth Sessions of the National Safety Congress the week of October 21st to October 25th. Over 300 youths from all over the nation will be attending these sessions, and will be housed together at the Hamilton Hotel, with competent chaperonage provided by the National Safety Council and various other national organizations. All of us have tremendous faith and confidence in the sincere desire and ability of our younger drivers to improve their present age groups driving record. We also feel that as a result of the activities involving these people during the coming month, we can anticipate the establishment of a Utah Teenage Traffic Safety Association. Such an organization would be a most effective way that the responsible teenagers could develop programs and activities among themselves, designed to reduce the present high number of traffic accidents in which they are involved. The Utah Safety Council is very pleased to see the interest and assistance which is being extended towards these youth groups in these matters," stated L. F. Black, President of the Utah Safety Council. t l n '1 |
