Bennett, second-rankin- g Republican on the Senate Finance Committee declared Saturday that The Senate has completely deformed the tax reform bill and said he would not be surprised if the President vetoes R-Ut- Youth Turkey Show Produces Record of Large Entries tax-writin- g it. The Utah lawmaker said, And I wouldnt blame him one bit if he takes that course of action. Sen. Bennett said, If this revenue-cuttin- g Driving home one night on a narrow road in New Hampshire, a housewife was blinded by the headlights of an approaching car. She pulled over to the shoulder of the road and heard a sickening thump. The object that made the noise turned out to be a man. Fortunately he wasn't seriously injured, but he might well have been killed. According to data supplied by the National Research Bureau, four major causes contribute to the high price of night driving. Drivers night vision, or lack of it, is not equal to day vision, though driving habits seldom switch from daytime to nighttime traits. Weather conditions make darkness as especially dangerous time to drive. Defective equipment accounted for major cause number three and poorly marked or maintained roads was number four. If you have driven at night, these findings Wont surprise you. Chances are you have been temporarily blinded by the other fellow coming at you with his brights on or you haive turned off an Interstate highway on to a rural road and found yourself having to adjust to the new con- ditions. How do you survive? First, you keep telling yourself night driving is different. People can not see like cats in the dark, so slow down and be cautious. Next, dont put off having the small mechanic defects corrected. If the windshield wiper blade is bad replace it. If the brakes grab have them adjusted. Missing a headlight or tail lamp, fix it. splurge keeps up during these final days of Senate debate I will vote against this bill as a protest to fiscal irresponsibility despite the fact that it contains many amendments I have sponsored and sections with which I wholeheartedly agree. He said, In addition I want to protect the position I must take in the Senate-Housconference where I will try to bring the revenue figures back into the same balance as existed in the original bill reported by the e Driving in rain means that your brakes will get wet and may grab a bit. If youve driven in puddles, press the brake pedal lightly. The heat generated as the brake shoe rubs on the drum will dry them out. Remember, no matter what conditions your brakes are in, it takes longer to stop on wet pavement. On ice and snow, fast drivers skid farther, or come to a sudden jarring halt quicker. Even the relatively slow speed of 25 MPH requires you to have about 100 yards to stop on icy roads. To be safe, allow an extra car length between you and the guy in front. In an emergency, pump the brakes gradually to slow down. Even in good weather on dry pavement, it takes about 232 feet to stop at 40 mph, 264 feet at 60 MPH and 440 feet to stop at 80 MPH. Committee. The Utahn will be a member of the Conference Committee which must iron out differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill. The entire spirit of tax reform which the Finance Committee so painstakingly sought to achieve over 60 furious days sesof hearings and mark-u- p sions has all but disappeared into a cloud of revenue-cuttin- g amendments designed to embarrass the President and to gain votes in the upcoming election, he said. Time after time following the revenue cutting votes during the past week Senate colleagues have come up to me and said, T sure hope you knock that out in conference despite the fact The first fork was that I had to vote for it, Sen.

Bennett said. To me this is fiscal irresponsibility and political hypocrisy of the worst sort and will prove to be a cruel hoax to Americas taxpayers who think they will reap a tax bonanza from some of the politically motivated tax gimmickry during this last week, he said. This is not the time to add to the skyrocketing inflation with tax cuts, he said. Congress must start holding up its end of the battle against inflation rather than allowing the Federal Reserve Board, high interest rates and business to take the . g Governor Calvin L. Rampton accepts a forty pound turkey from Box Elder County merchants and businessmen. Making the presentation from left to right are Carl Borup. Wilford Rogers, Harry Gephart and Bill Walldrin, Administrative Assistant, Commissioner of Agriculture. Grown in Park Valley by Jay Carter, it is believed to be one of the heaviest birds grown for the Youth Turkey Show. Utah's annual youth' turkey show produced one of the largest turkeys to ever be entered in the two day event. The bird weighed over forty pounds and won first place in the heavy weight division. Traditionally the prize winning turkeys are auctioned and sold to the highest bidder with the money going to the young growers. This years heavy turkey was raised by Jay Carter, a member from Western, Box Elder County. As the auctioning began for the champion, it was apparent that a group of merchants and businessmen from the Tremonton area had their eyes set on the huge turkey. When the bidding was over, the turkey had brought a price of $250.00. It was decided that the bird would be presented to Governor Calvin L. Rampton and his family for Christmas dinner. It was given in appreciation of Hampton's excellent efforts in helping Utah maintain a healthy climate for agriculture and bus- states. Of the more than 3000 counties in the United States, Sanpete County in South Central Utah places about thirteenth in turkey production with Box Elder County close behind. The turkey industry in Utah through production, feeds, equipment, labor and sales generates about 50 million dollars to the states economy. Utahn is Awarded Advanced Degree 4-- H iness.
