Show FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1969 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Numerous Taxpayer Errors Can Cause Refund Delays When will I get my refund? is a question asked over and over Obviously there are a number of problems involved in imple- ' You have just about closed the deal for the new Zoomer 8 sport coupe youve been want-ing- , when your friendly auto salesman says, Before you sign the order, you should know that tests have shown this car to be unsafe under many normal driving conditions. Its brakes are subject to a severe fade at high speeds, the power steering is extremely sen- sitive under slipper road conditions. and the gas tank is liable to explode IE another car strikes the Zoomer 8 from behind. Sound like a fantasy? Maybe so, today, but a recent proposal from the Federal Highway Administration may result in just such dialogs in the future. The proposal would reauire new cars to undergo safety tests conducted by the government, which would publish the result. Carried to an extreme the government could. also reauire the manufacturers and their agents to make sure prospective buyers are aware of these test results before they buy. Under the published proposal as it stands right now. manufacturers would be reauired to make public information about their vehicles braking performance, vehicle side protection, illumination and glare of headlamps, the field of vision, acceleration and passing ability, steering ratio, vehicle performance while towing trailers and flammability of . interior materials. Such information would be part of the new car manual and probably pub- lished by the government in the other forms as well. i menting the proposal. Amonfc these are the need for uniform testing so that the informatior. that results would be meaning tul; and there are hundreds oi different models that would have to be tested with consideratior. given to many variable factors weight differences, tires sizes, horsepower etc. Even with the problems, how ever, it is possible that such testing and information reauire ment could go a long way tc solving the many safety problems that have occurred in recent years with cars just off the assembly lines. But until the whole thing is worked out, how about a sign on each new car's dashboard: Caution: Driving this car may be hazardous to your health.

Weve had several fights over it already that have only made matters worse. A Your sister will probably outgrow her grubbiness, but you can speed the process. First, give her enough elbow room lots of closet space with plenty of hangers. Has she got her own wastebasket? Try keeping Kleenex tissues handy to wipe up her spills too. Then set aside 10 minutes each day to tackle housekeeping together. A little extra help will make picking up seem easier.
