MILESTONES Samuel Lewis Celebrates Eightieth Year Out My Window Ethel Bradford years and every driver flinches when they know they must drive through Utah." YES: "Dear Editor, Hallelujah! I am so happy to see that there are some people who see the traffic problem of Salt Lake County drivers as I do. Once in a while you readers write this column. Four weeks ago I wrote of the utter disregard of traffic signs and laws throughout the county and, asked people to respond as to whether they would vote for a Governor or Mayor who would pledge tough and consistent law enforcement for ALL traffic laws. Readers were asked to the vote YES or NO, but of comments were terrific and those who made them are the ones writing the column today. Hats off to Readers! percent voted YES, but of the few who voted NO, one of them commented, "There are MANY other pressing problems and destructive crimes that should take priority over this one of traffic violations." Ninety-fiv- e And then come the YESES. "Dear Ethel, I definitely would vote for one who would see to it that drivers respect the laws. We never see a patrolman anymore. Why do the legislators pass so many laws and never see that they are enforced ? We see an utter disregard of the traffic laws and it makes you wonder why they even post the speed limits? Thank you for your column, Out My Window, I truly enjoy it . . . Mrs. M. Bowers. " YES: Running red lights . . . over speed limits in residential areas . . . following too close drunk we need enforcement!" "Especially driving laws." 'Yes, yes, yes." "Of course." YES: "Mark two approvals from two people from the east who moved here nine years ago and live in fear of our lives on the highways. Utah drivers are ignorant and because the laws are not enforced. Ever hear of wrecklcss driving?" non-carin- g YES: "Stiffer penalties are not the answer. Mare enforcement is. I see enough violations during one day to support a police department."

"Then he mentioned driving LA freeways every day of the week and made this very appropriate observation. t i. "California drivers are crazy, but they're crazy over speed. Utah drivers are just as crazy, too, but they are alsc ignorant and stupidly opposed to traffic regulations. I have had three different little girls try to kill me in the last three days on your highways. v s f I kV AjSmuA A-- . "And, as you say, on our streets there is no respect for people of driving laws. Recently I have been totally appalled by the drivers who take the vulnerable outside lane and then use it as a race track, defying a change of lane or people who are trying to enter traffic from a freeway entrance.
