Mr. Browns visit to Utah was prompted by a growing concern over this problem in Utah by both state and national safety This concern recently became acute in the light of alarming deterioration of Utahs Driver Education Program on the one hand, and a steadily rising involvement in accidents and arrests for traffic violations on the part of the younger generation, according to Safety Council spokesmen. Mr. Welling, in speaking for the council stated, We believe that the people of Utah can do themselves a tremendous service and take the most significant step now possible in united efforts to remedy the tragic problem of traffic accidents in this state by supporting a workable plan to expand and improve the driver education program in Utah. As national safety spokesmen have said, Utahns are already paying for driver education but are not getting it. By that, they mean, high insurance rates and traffic accidents are costing us a staggering amount of money each year, which amount of money could be saved lep-lesentativ- Swim Queen lead-zin- c CLEARFIELD Mrs. Dorothy White Correspondent Music for the conference was furnished by the Stake Youth Chorus under the direction of Mary Ellen Bailey with Shirley Gailey as accompanist.

It pays not only in tremendous dividends in dollars and cents, but in the saving of human life and the avoidance of disabling injuries as the result of traffic accidents. We believe the majority of the people of Utah want to get something positive done in the way of reducing traffic accidents. This proposal for driver education in the high schools is the most concrete and effective single way known to accomplish this objective. benefits school student. of teacher train(2) ing and instruction.

(4) Encouragement of student enrollment in driver education courses through special inducements to eligible students The Safety Council, in recommending this program, pointed to the fact that the age group 10 to 23 is directly responsible for over five million dollars economic losses resulting from traffic accidents each year, aie involved in over d of our fatal accidents, and that high quality driver education results in 3(K fewer accidents and arrests among those persons so trained. It was pointed out also that reduced insurance rates are possible to those who have completed such training. The additional $1.00 in motor registration fees would, therefoie, be far offset by savings in insurance premiums alone. one-thir- stockpil- ing plan has been disappointing.

Kennecott Copper Corporation will help call attention to the situation in a national advei Using campaign, i4 was announced this week. A Kennecott spokesman said the National Adequate Wiring Bureau believes the 80 percent figure is conservative. The trend toward electrical living is evident by counting the number of electrical appliances in general use today compared with those used in the Thirties. In 1930 there were about 20 appliances in general use. Today there are about CO. and the end is not in sight. It was pointed out that only 17 percent of American residences are less than 10 years old. The fact that 83 percent are more than 10 years old can only mean that their electrical efficiency is obsolete, the spokesman said. He added that these figures present a challenge to awaken Americans to the hazards and discomforts of living in the dark ages of the electrical woild. moderniza- Here is a ready-mad- e low-wag- DOROTHY ROWAND, 23, of Brad- ford, Pa., poses for the cameramen after she was chosen 1954 Swim for Health Queen at Long Beach, N.

The spokesman called attention to the present situation in the automotive industry. Todays tremendous output of automobiles and trucks would have been impossible if the industry had not awakened America 30 years ago to the need for better roads, he said. Sales figures would not be at their present level if the American public was faced with driving on bumpy roads, he added. He called attention to the fact that utility companies have the electricity and manufacturers are producing the appliances. But the home owner does not have adequate wiring. Many modem appliances such as air conditioning units, electric ranges and dryers need special wiring, he said. In most cases the buying public doesnt realize this until the appliances are delivered and the discover they must have larger capacity wiring installed.
