Now women, particularly young women, have an opporunity to make the superior male quipsters laugh out of the other sides of their mouths. A leading automobile insurance company reports that its studies show that women under 25 years old are better drivers than men of the same age. And the firm supports its convictions with a 25 to 35 per cent cut in insurance rates in New York state, with a 40 per cent cut in California, and with Office Tri-Sta- te & 36 Music Supply East Tabernacle St. St. George, Utah Your school and music supply center.

Full details will appear next week. his Your Sportsmanship Is Showing Do you realize that booing is one of the worst kinds of bad sportsmanship and that those who boo tear down the reputation of the school much faster than it can be rebuilt by all the victories a team can chalk up in a season. To students who come to Dixie from schools where booing was not tolerated, its allowance and widespread practice at games is immediately nauseating. In the high school I attended, spectators were asked to leave for booing at games. Why must it be, that in the tense moments when the score is nearly even or when we are in the deficit, when a Dixie player steps up to the foul line it is so quite you can hear the next persons breathing, but when it is the visiting players turn, he must shoot amid the boos of an unfriendly crowd? Should they not receive the same courtesy we give our home team? February Why do we cheer when a foul is called against the visitor and boo the official for calling the fouls of our players? The sociability committee has made a practice of giving out a sack of apples to the players of both teams after their games, and they report the boys really appreciate it. However, the cheering squads tend to counteract the good will created by the sociability committee by their failure to cheer for the visitors. No ball game, not even one with Cedar, should begin without a cheer for the opponents from the pep squads. It may be nothing more than spelling out Melvin Miles or Hello, Cedar. Were glad youre here. Come on, This weeks paper staff persongang, lets give them a cheer, and 15 rahs for Cedar. It is just ality is Melvin Miles, the tall athlete who is sports editor of good sportsmanship.
