The system, similar to police Signs will notify the motorist the system is present. Another indicator is a red light which flashes the instant a violation occurs and warns the driver of being picked up by other detection units in the system. The red light warning may bring some unsympathetic expressions from drivers, but its much better to see one along the highway than on a pursuing police car or an ambulance.

First, determine whether your sod needs lime before you turn it over. State agricultural extension services or industrial soil testing laboratories provide tests that can indicate this. They also provide information on how to take a soil sample. Should you need lime on your soil, spread it first, then turn the soil over. If you are applying new topsoil, rake the fertilizer evenly into it. To prepare a good seedbed, turn the soil over with a spade for small areas or use a plow or rotary tiller for larger areas. Before you begin, remove rock and other debris. Do not try to work the soil when it is wet. to-ear-th Select a grass mixture especially suited for your area, your lawn condition, and the use you will give your lawn. Certain grasses are more tolerant than others to dry weather, heavy foot traffic, or shady conditions. Be sure to follow manufacturers directions. Spread grass seed evenly. of the seeds Sow one-ha- lf crosswise to the other half, lightly rake or drag the ground carefully with a brush or mat, and then roll the soil to set the shallow planted grass seed firmly into it. Wet down the soil after planting. If the weather is dry, keep the soil moist, sprinkling daily until the seeds sprout.

Last year for the corresponding week continued claims were nearly 7,200. The current total gives an unemployed rate of 2.19 per cent, compared to last years 2.77 per cent for the same date. The job market was strong, with employers filing 1,083 offers with state employment security offices, compared to 965 last year. Initial claims, at 630, were about normal for this time of year. Your life can be judged only by what you do, not by what you say you intend to do. Car Repair Cost Climbing Higher The cost of repairing cars is climbing faster than the cost of repairing people, Western Insurance Information Service said this week. Between 1962 and 1967, the latest period for which complete statistics are available, the average amount paid by insurers for auto repair claims jumped 43 per cent while the average amount paid for people injuries rose 29 per cent, according to WHS. The average auto repair claim cost insurers $145 in 1962. In 1967 the average auto repair claim cost $207. These rising claim costs naturally have helped cause auto liability preminums to increase. While the percentage of increase differs from state to state, the reasons for the rate hikes are basically the same throughout the nation inflationary in- - Of Airlines Case Senator Wallace F. Bennett of Utah has urged the chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board to a?econsider the Boards recent decision in the Northwest-Southeas- t case, which he said indicates an almost complete disregard for Utah's air needs. The decision in the reepened case, which has handed down a month ago, reversed an initial CAB ruling which granted Salt Lake City new competitive trunk line service, linking the Beehive State with Seattle and Portland and large cities of the Southwest. As you can surmise, the final decision of the Board was a big disappointment to the state of Utah and to me personally, Sen. Bennett wrote to the CAB chief, John H. Crooker, Jr. I find it incomprehensible that Utahs needs were gradually whittled down from the initial decision to a point of almost complete disregard for the vital interests. Ift he justification for new air service existed earlier, as indicated by the initial CAB decision, I wonder how and why it disappeared, he asked. Sen. Bennett said, Because of the tremendous adverse impact the final decision will have on our state, I am joining the Utah agencies in requesting the board to reconsider its final decision, and thus avoid any litigation of the ruling. The Utah agencies is an independent group representing private and public interests in Utah in seeking to improve the states air service. Within this context, I trust the Board will at least consider the possibility of allowing stop over service by the trunk lines which have been authorized t. fly over Salt Lake City enroute from the northwest to the cities in the southwest, Sen. Bennett said. A second need is for the Board to conduct part cf he Salt Lake City Service Inves. gaticn in the State of Utah. . vist to our states capital c.y would help illuminate the need for additional and improved service between Salt Lake City and the east coast. I sincerely urge the board to consider both of these pressing needs, he said. Jewel Bindrup Wins Assn.
