Show FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1970 Page Twelve Defensive Driving Bugged Buggy Coming to Town Cuts Accident Toll Good drivers are better drivers after completing the Defensive Driving Course, Leo H. Barlow, Utah Safety Councils Vice President for Traffic, said this week. It aids the already licensed driver to recognize and avoid driving errors which lead to a traffic mishap. In most traffic accidents a driving error is the cause factor. Most accidents do not occur deliberately, and iw you analyzed the causation factors in the more than 240 fatal accidents already reported in the state, youd find that many started from a simple driving error which ballooned in a dealth dealing mishap. Four evening classes will be held during November. Enrollment will be open for classes starting on this week and a Saturday class will be offered on Nov. 14. The class starts at 9 a.m. and is offered in two 4-h- sessions. This is an eight hour course, and is taught in four 2 hour sessions over a four week course. The course is intended for the already licensed driver who now wishes to improve on driving techniques. It is essential that all drivers consider some advanced training so as to permit . themselves to cope with todays modern freeways and better engineered autos.. Anyone wishing to enroll in the course is requested to make advanced registration with the Utah Safety Council, 535 South 2nd West, prior to the start of the course. As a matter of convenience for those unable to pre register, enrollment can be completed immediately prior to the start of the class. Good drivers become better and smarter drivers when they have completed, this life saving course. The reaction of a great many successful students is that this course should be made a requirement of all who drive on the states road system. Sen. Bennett Tells Academy Deadline Sen. Wallace F. Bennett this week announced that the deadline for applications to Armed Forces Academies for the classes beginning in June, 1971, is Dec. 1, 1970. Sen. Bennett said young men wishing to apply through him for entrance to an academy may send the Senator the following information: high school transcript, results of college board entrance examination, and listing of athletic or extracurricular activities both in and out of his school. The Utahn noted that on the basis of this information, he submits names to the respective academies. The academics themselves make the final selection. Academies include the Military Academy at West Point; the Air Force Academy, Colo. Springs, Colo.; Navy Academy, Annapolis; Coast Guard Academy, New London, Conn.; and Merchant Marine Academy, Long Island, N. Y. Get the razor that getsihe Nubs. 1 Techmatic by Gillette. Ml.

A . at THE SALT LAKE TIMES Engineers Remain In Short Supply USU Points Out An Oil Job With , The space and defense programs that drew numerous engineers into lucrative positions have suffered budegt cutbacks; the press has given extensive coverage to lay offs without poitning out that engineers in other industries remain in short supply. The Junior Engineering Technical Society is conducting one search for potential engineering students in the high schools of the United States. A December I deadline has been placed on applications to take the National Engineering Aptitude Search Test. The tests will be given in II search centers in the state of Utah later. The solution of problems facing society with regard to environmental pollution, food and energy, housing, transportation will require the efforts of many talented people who have been highly trained in the engineering sciences. If engineering enrollment continues to decline the nation will shortly find itself unprepared to provide the solutions, said J. Clair Batty, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at USU. Information on the NEAS tests which will be given some time in February, has been distributed statewide to counselors, math teachers and counselors. Students wishing more information may contact them at USU. Sites already established for the tests to be given include the College of Southern Utah, USU Snow College, Weber State College, College of Eastern Utah, BYU, University of Utah, and Dixie College. Arrangements can be made to hold the test in additional locations. are Students in grades invited to take the aptitude test. We want to help students who may be doubtful about their own abilities and aptitudes to find out before it is too late, whether or not they have the necessary academic potential to consider seriously the study of engineering, 9-- 12 Quiet Pleasures The ideal job? How about Ar-vi- d Kaukolas? He is an oil jobber working out of the village of Orr, Minn. the fellow who supplies heating fuel, diesel oil and marine aviation gas to the lake .country around Orr. Using a 26 foot cruiser, Arvid hauls his product to retailers, formers and resort owners in the army surplus bridge pontoon he converted into a barge. In winter, he drives a truck across the frozen lakes. Here is what his job can be like, as described in Petroleum Today: Arvid is 44, a trim sunburned man with an affection for this wild lake country. He knows he has quiet pleasures experienced by few people these days especially on those misty mornings when hes out on the lakes moving along past green islands with the sun glinting through groves of birch and aspen and the air redolent with the smell of wet trees. Sometimes he spots deer swimming across a lake or a fox or beaver poking among driftwood on a beach. Theres always something to look at. You never get bored, he says. Estheticaly satisfying as his job is, it is extremely important to that region, too. Just as those of thousands of other petroleum industry employees are important to the nation at large. More than 1,250,000 men and women work in the petroleum industry across the country in refining, pipe lining, production, and in marketing, as does Arvid helping to provide 75 per cent of the energy that turns the nations wheels be they on autos or in factories. said a former president of JETS. The nation, to fulfill its present plans and commitments for scientific and technological progress, desperately needs qualified engineers. The NEAS plays a role in discovering this critically needed talent and encouraging its development and use, says officials of the non profit educational organization.
