Traffic studies show about 23,000 vehicles use the road daily and the number of fatal accidents on U.S. 89 is disproportionately is best, solution Ion U Street talk the Wasatch Front Regional Counsel, who has been involved in the project since it began.

Following this emphasis on features and less hard news in the Lakeside Review is a continuing effort to avoid duplication in the weekly and the Standard-Examinwhich began with combining forces in Davis County on Jan. of this year. In January, the Standard began to make use of Lakeside Review news stories and features, and the Standard-Examine- I dont think stoplights alone will work; there would be too much stopping and going. ' And an expressway is going to make it tough for those who live in that neighborhood. Somebody really dropped the ball in the planning stages. Stoplights would just be horrid. In the winter, it would be They need lights at Shepard Lane in Farmington, and at Cherry Hills in Kaysville and one at Hill Field Road. I think lights are the best so- lution. It would cost too much money for those other things (the expressway) they have been talking about. Helen Wight - Fruit Heights: There isnt a wonderful solution there. Anna Granieri - Salt Lake: Lets make it an expressway and put a frontage road in for local traffic. The frontage road could be on either side of the highway. But no lights. The worst intersections Ive seen accidents at are the ones with the beautiful lights. coming to Lakeside Review ore and in relation to the O r, the Lakesides parent newspaper, owners and managers have formulated a policy specifying what that role should be.

Peace and prosperity will abound, if only there were no guns to be found. Yes gentle readers there are those who would have you believe our crime problems could be solved by banning guns. Crimes are committed by those who have a total disregard for society and civil rights of others. Theres a community where the residents do not have the same freedoms you and I enjoy. Alcohol, drugs, or weapons are strictly forbidden. Residents may be searched without warrants. They are subject to never ending surveillance of daily life. Still crime is common place with rape, drugs, and robberies, even murder, weapons are confiscated on a regular basis. No amount of control or laws passed can keep this community safe from those who break the law. This community I speak of is the state prison. Prohibition, be it alcohol, or guns has never mitting, ending at the end of Easter Sunday. Because of the early morning dampness of the grass, decorating is begun at 10 a.m., taking about an hour and a half to complete the job.

No longer free to scratch in the soil, with ample room, she is confined for life in a tiny cage with four, five or more other hens. There is hardly room to stand. She is pressed against the wire cage. Her feathers fall out and she soon becomes bloody and raw. The cage slopes to allow the eggs to drop down the egg funnels. Her feet are injured from try worked, if crime is to be reduced we must put the controls on criminals. Make it easier to prosecute law breakers, long jail terms for repeat offenders.

Often her feet entangle and she cant reach food and slowly starves to death. The egg industry uses enormous amounts of antibiotics, pesticides, etc. The environment also takes a beating. The hens never feel sunlight or breathe fresh air. She is kept in semi darkness. The hens naturally peck each other from frustration of cramped quarters. All the hens are The process is very painful. The hens tender upper .beak is sliced off with a hot blade. Many die from shock. Male chicks are of no value tc the egg industry. They are throwr into plastic bags to suffocate. Others are ground into animal feed and fertilizer, while still alive. The killed chicks average 240 million each year. When egg production declines (usually a year) the hens are starved and denied water for several days. This forced molt shocks them into losing their feathers, starting a new laying cycle.
