The fact is somebody probably is at least conducting research into the very condition that has struck you as hazardous, and its from this research that many of the recent traffic safety reforms have come. Below are some of the areas in which the National Highway Safety Bureau has awarded research contracts recently, and the amounts of the contracts. From time to time in the future, research programs that are of particular interest tb the typical driver will be reported in this underneath them.

Kicks and harsh words may pass between mule and man, but a bond of affection often develops. Mules and small southern farmers have been closer partners than man and horse or man and dog, wrote Ralph McGill, the noted Georgia editor. For the small farmer, the mule was his one indispensable possession. On some farms in the south, the mule still is a most important animal, the National Geographic Society says. A pair of mules drew the farm wagon bearing the body of Dr. Martin a touching Luther King, Jr. of animals the symbol standing. The mule has been bred since times. A cross between a male donkey and a female horse, the mule combines the best features of both parents. It has the wit, sobriety, endurance, and surefootedness of the donkey; the strength and bulk of the horse. It thrives on poor food and withstands cold or blistering heat. Stubborn and mule go together like love and marriage, but the link may be unfair. The animal's stubbornness often is self - preservation. Unlike the horse, the mule has an uncanny ability to look after to the despair its own health of its driver.

Wise, District Director of Internal Revenue for Utah announced today that a special examination will be given on September 26 and 27 for accountants and others who wish to represent taxpayers in matters before the Internal Revenue Service. Tax practitioners who are not certified public accountants, attorneys or qualified former IRS employees must establish their technical competence before they can represent their clients before IRS. Technical and ethical standards for this right to practice are set by the Treasury Department. Last year approximately 750 practitioners took the exam.

At the end of the Civil War, no less than a thousand Union soldiers qualified for disability pensions because they got too close to the combat end of a mule. The 19 th century humorist Josh Billings once said, Ive known mules to be good for six months so as to get a chance to kick. Some experts say, however, that mules are no worse kickers than horses. Mules probably were first bred in western Asia, where horse-usintribes met the donBreeders learned that the key. are almost hybrids invariably sterile, giving rise to the saying: A mule has neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity. Roman royalty prized mules. The Empress Poppaea had golden shoes made for her mules, while the Emperor Nero made do with silver. The beasts still are widely used in the Mediterranean region. George Washington, given a prize donkey by the King of Spain, actively promoted mulebreeding. By 1925, almost six million mules toiled on United States farms. But within 30 years the mule was, as one breeder said, tractored out. No tractor ever inspired the affection one North Carolina farmer had for his mule. After his faithful partner of 20 years died, the man committed suicide. He left a scrawled pencil note on a worn path: My old mule is gone. I am drowned in this pond. . g sure-foote- d if it's printing. . . dial 364-846-4 Board To Set Bird Hunts Fish-Gam- e Upland game bird, waterfowl, and furbearer seasons are among the major Items of business which will be acted upon by the Board of Fish and Game at their meeting set for next Wednesday at the Fish and Game Office in Salt Lake City.
