The requirement would continue in force for city type traffic, he said. The proposed legislation also would require signaling for cnanging lanes as well as turning. SNOWMOBILE RULES Other legislation proposed by the commissioners office includes regulations for snowmobiles which would prohibit them from traveling on state highways and limited access 100-fo- roads. Snowmobiles could be used on roads inaccessible to other vehicles or on City and county roads specifically marked for their exclusive use, Jackson said. Snowmobiles also could cross state highways at right angles. We believe snowmobiling is a good recreation and this law would promote their use in designated, safe areas," he snow and spread south and eastward over the state tonight Tempe- Snow ratures will turn a little colder with highs Wednesday from 30 to 40, compared to a 35 to 45' range today. Lows will be from 20 to 30 tonight. Strong gusty winds contin- ued in northern Utah today causing some blowing and drifting snow in higher mountain passes. The road to Alta was still closed this morning as crews worked to clear a path through the snow slides that came down over the weekend. Alta, Brighton and Solitude each had four inches of new snow over night and Park Gty and Park City West had two inches. Roads to all resorts were snowpacked with chains or snow tires required. The forecast at the resorts today cautioned that lifts would be operating unless the winds became too strong. Light snow showers fell today over the northern Wasatch Mountains and the Uin-ta- s and more general snow is expected tonight and Wednes- day.

WEAR HELMETS Jackson is backing legislation to provide fully vehicle plates and to require motor- if cycle drivers and riders to wear protective helmets at all times. The presen' law requires helmets for travel on roads posted for 35 miles per hour and above, but most motorcycle deaths occur at speeds less than this limit, Jackson said. For safetys sake and in order to comply with federal the law should guidelines, require helmets at all speeds, he said. Reflectorized plates would cost $1 per set more than the current charge, but they would more than pay for themselves by making cars more visible, thus decreasing accidents, the state official anted. Also in the legislative mill is a proposal to set safety standards for vehicle tires. Misdemeanor penalties would apply to persons operating a vehicle having tires with exposed cords, bumps or bulges, fabric breaks or cuts or tread depth less than 232 of an inch measured in three equally spaced places around the tire, Jackson sa''d. The extended forecast, Thursday through Saturday, calls for occasional snow ending Saturday. m ft 'x This view was expressed recently to the Governors Historic and Cultural Sites Review Committee by Dr. Austin Fife, a Utah State languages professor who has made an extensive private study of rock houses in northern Utah.

Truck Mired in Deep Snow With Tons Of Salt Aboard rr pripM B1I iyi GORGOZA, Summit County Salt, usually an aid in getting vehicles out of snew banks, is keeping a large tractor trailer packed deep in the ice and snow about one-hamile east of Parleys summit. lf Loaded with five tons of bulk salt and 375 bags weighing 50 and 100 pounds each, the rig was abandoned Jan. 4 about 9 p.m. by the driver, when the air brakes gave way on the steep downgrade. Larry OConnor, owner and driver, told Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Stan Anderson he deliberately drove the load off the highway because he was unfamiliar with the route and feared the road ahead was as steep as that on which he was traveling when the brakes went out. LEASED UNIT The rig became mired in huge drifts and two companies have tried in vain to get it out. Myron Graybill, Dudden Eland Transport Co., Ogallala, Neb., said his company had leased the unit from OConnor, who was to transport the salt from Salt Lake City to Greeley, Colo.

Student Lobby A student lobby from the University of Utah is seeking a legislative change which would seat one student rn the Institutional Council of each state college or university. The student member, possibly the student body president, would have full voting privileges and full membership status. At present, the U. of U.s Institutional Council comprises eight voting members named to the council by the governor. Randy Dryer, who heads the U. of U. student body, said a student could be seated on an Institutional Council only through legislative action or through appointment by the governor.
