THIS IS the contention of Kaysville Chief of Police Lyle Larkin, who applies his ideas about good trip planning to local shopping junkets as welt as out of town (recks. Stay tuned to weather advisories covering the areas in which you'll be driving, Chief Larkin advocates. But don t be stubborn about keeping up with your estimates about miles covered or estimated speeds you intend to maintain. Keeping your planning flexible is equally important." ignore was the fact that they must cut their speed by as much as two thirds ana increase driving time estimates accordingly when slippery pavenwni conditions prevail. THE CHIEF cited motorists' problems during last winter's storms as examples. "Skidding and ditched cars were evidence that all too many motorists have little or no idea of stopping or cornering ability on slick pavements whether the cause was rain, snow or ice.

Locked wheels are sure to throw your car into a skid. -- IF YOU misjudge stopping or cornering ability and your car does go into a skid turn your w heel in the direction you want the front of the car to go. When you feel the car start to recover, straighten your front wheels. Above all, don't hit the brakes when the rear end starts to slew around. You cant steer a car when the wheels are locked and not - rolling. These are all good reasons, according to the Chief, for studying the route before starting on a winter trip, and keep posted at all times on weather information from the nearest highway patrol office, motor club, weather bureau, or local radio and TV outlets. You may find it sensible to stop en route or stay at home, sit tight and wait out the storm, -- CONVENTIONAL snow tires (without studs) offer no advantage over regular highway tires in stopping. -- When used on rear wheels only of rear drive vehicles, these traction aids do not the cornermaterially improve ing capacity.- HOWEVER, Chief -- GET THE "feel" of the road whenever there is any question about just how slippery the pavement is.

District Governor Visits Rotary KAYSVILLE Rotary District Governor, Lynn A. Richardson recently met with the Kaysville Rotary Club to address the club and meet with club officers and discuss executive business. KAYSVILLE Rotary president, Dr. Reed Adams and other officers took Mr. Richardson on a tour of the Rotary Park during his stay. Mr. Richardson is one of 403 Rotary Governors throughout the world who are representatives of Rotary International in districts composed of member clubs. Each district governor supervises the clubs in his area. A MEMBER of the Rotary Club of Ogden, Mr. Richardson is vice president and marketing director of First Security Banks Northern Utah division. He was elected to office at the Rotary International convention in Dallas in June, 1982 and will serve until June KEEPS ROME TRADITION ALIVE - What beKAYSVILLE gan as a service to a friend has e become a hobby with Don R. Green of Kaysville. full-tim- DON IS known for his mechanical and building ability and has become quite an expert in building chariots to be used in one of Utahs most popular winter sports, the quarterhorse chariot races. It all started a year ago, when one of Dons friends, he had known for many years, came and asked him to repair a part of his chariot. Most of the chariots used in the races are made of steel or fiberglass. He and this friend discussed the possibility of building an aluminium type chariot. He said if Don would build one, he would furnish the material. 1983. Rotary, with more than 19,500 clubs in some 57 lands, is an organization of business and professional men who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build good will and peace in the 1 world, np THE PROJECT proved suer cessful and after others saw it, it became more popular. Don said in building the aluminum one, we improved the design, the aluminum is more quiet, the balance is more evenly distributed with less drag for the horse. Don Green and his sons, Curtis, 10, acting as driver, and Scott, 11, try out 82 lb. chariot. WHEN ONE is racing, these items all have a great impact on the driver and the horses performance. For those who are not familiar with chariot racing, in the A and B League, where bigger horses are entered, they run 440 yards in approximately 20 to 23 seconds which average close to 44 miles an hour. Therefore, the type of chariot used plays an important role in the race. Don has a licensed shop known as Greens Repair. He bought special equipment and does both arc and heli-ar- c welding for the job. It takes approximately 40 hours of hard work to build one chariot with the help of a friend who assists with some of the welding. He has built several in the past two years. His chariots are used throughout Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. One was used in the World Finals at Elko, Nev. which pleased him. One of the most important things about this new hobby, is that it is a family project where my two sons, Scott 11 and Curtis ID DON STATED, and my wife Shauna can share working together. They are as pleased and excited with the finished project as I am. Don is employed at Hill Air Force Base, as foreman of the Missile Ground Support Section. He first learned to weld while on a government business assignment at the Missile Sites. HE WAS born and raised in Fruit Heights and graduated from Davis High School. He has always been interested in mechanic work and wanted to have a business of , his own. He decided to turn his garage into a workshop, so he could pursue his hobby. He is following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Ho- ward and the late Archie Green, as the people in this community well know. They both loved mechanics and building as Don does. DON IS energetic and a hard worker along with being a snowmobile enthusiast, but chariot building is still his first hobby. He wants to keep it as such, np |
