Remember that last long trip you took, trying to cover maximum distance in minimum time? Did you or did you not get sleepy? How many times did you shake your head before pulling in for a coffee or quick nap? Excessive speeds accounted for 17,700 deaths. Perhaps some limits are not realistic, given modem highways and today s automobiles. But the fact is that we must become a slower population, not faster, if we are to cut down on our injuries and fatalities. Mirror Mirror on the Wall A chemist and an art historian at Columbia University have devised a weight test to achieve more reliable dating of ancient Chinese polished bronze mirrors. Isabella M. Drew, director of the Sackler Laboratory, Department of Art History and Archaeology, and Mrs. Anneliese Gutkind Bulling, research associate and Chinese archaeologist, developed a table of weights and dynasties against which they can match the weight of a mirror to determine its age. The weight of mirrors varied from dynasty to dynasty over a period of 2,000 years as techniques of manufacture and esthetic tastes changed. Present dating methods for bronze mirrors are subjective, and thus open to error. While experts date most mirrors reliably on the basis o style and similar clues, some mirrors offer problems because the artisans copied the four model homes which typify architectural styles to be used at this totally planned new town at Mills Junction in Tooele County. Each of the models will be fully landscaped and decorated, according to Ian Cumming, the president of Terracor, the Salt Lake City based developer of Stansbury Park. Terracor is also deevloping a new town 21 miles southeast of Denver, the Pinery, as well as resort second home communities at Bloomington, Utah; the Woods at Red Cedar Lake, Wise., and Bailey Creek, Idaho. Totally planned Stansbury Park is 25 miles west of Salt Lake City along U.S. Highway 40, a quarter mile west of Mills Junction. Motorists who continue south on Utah State Road 36 may turn off a second entrance to Stansbury Park a half mile south of the junction. The home show will be open from 9 a.m. to dusk on weekends and from 11 a.m. to duck through Oct. 17, Mr. Cumming has announced. Thereafter the models will be displayed principally on weekends. Before the ribbon cutting ceremony, Gov. Hampton and invited guests will go on a grass roots The Wage-Pric- e Q.

Soaring Utah Crime Rate Puts Pressure on Insurance Costs Utahs soaring property crime rates continue to thwart insurance industry efforts to reduce or at least stabilize costs, according to the Insurance Information Institute. While insurance rates in effect before the present wage and price freeze will remain unchanged during the freeze, the Institute pointed out that in normal times there is a definite relationship between property insurance costs and th enations crime rates and an increase in property crimes tend to create upward pressure on insurance rates. According to statistics of the Federal Bureau of Investigation larcenies of $50 or more reported in Utah rose 75 percent from 196 to 1970 6,086 to 10,633. Other property crimes also had drastic increases during the period. Robberies jumped from 394 to 563, an increase of 43 per cent: burglaries rose 38 percent from 7,020 to 9,692; the number of reported auto thefts was up 45 3-y- ear per cent, from 2,307 to 3,350. Each category of property crime increased every year durThis ing the 1967-7- 0 period. often creates an undesirable two fold effect, insurance becomes les available for purchase at standard rates and increases in these rates occur. Countrywide, larcenies soared 255 per cent from 1960 to 1970, burglaries increase 142 percent, robberies zoomed 224 per cent and auto theft had a boost of 183 per cent. The Institute warned that when crime becomes as commonplace as it has in our society traditional insurance principles are hard put to administer adequately to the general popula- tion. From the consumers standpoint, organized crime must be destroyed and unorganized crime better controlled before the insurance situation levels off, as subsidies for the control of this problem must come from the tax payer and the insurance A.

The established practice of the company is to increase wages at the end of the probationary period.

The golf course, 110 acre sailing lake, childrens adventure playland, kiddie farm and family recreation complex offer a wide variety of activities. All this recreational variety is within the 1,200 acres of Stanbury Village, a situation not duplicated anywhere else in Utah, he noted. A million cubic yards of dirt was moved to sculpture the golf course, which will be playable by next spring. Stansbury Lake, with its vivid reflection of the blue sky, is a striking contrast to the emerald green golf course. The lake will offer recreational sailing or just casual boating for residents. Gas powered boats will not be allowed on the lake, however, which like the golf course is fronted by homesites. Some $100,000 was spent for the playland, which is based on studies of what children like to do most during free play. The playlands diversified activities range over an acre of land. A large mound in the middle psychologically and physically divides the playground between the areas for older and younger children, another safety factor. The entrance to the playland is highlighted by a cascading fountain and wading pool. Inside, a geodesic dome, an array of slides, sandy areas, cargo nets, cable rides and fortress are a childs answer to boredom. GRAPEVINE Jordan School District is the most rapidly expanding school district in the State of Utah in enrollment. This years increase shows a 6.63 per cent upwards climb, which followed last years 4.5 per cent. The increase is due largely to a move-i- n population which reflects fairly even pansion from kindergarten grade 12. ex- to A way for Salt Lake City to peak out its troubled financial problems was pointed out by A.M. Ferro, legal counsel for the Utah League of Cities and Counties. The city is apparently $500,-00- 0 short of balancing its 1971-7- 2 budget due to failure of the county to pass' a $5.00 local option auto registrtaion fee ordinance. County Commissioners said other cities in the county d oppose the fee. Mr. Ferro that county commissioners pass the ordinance long enough to let Salt Lake City pass its own law then repeal the county ordinance. Thus the city would be able to impose the fee but the rest of the county would be immune from it. sug-gese- Jim Fisher, former Salt Lake City fire fighter and of Local 1645 of the International Association of Fire Fighters, was chosen to head that union for 1972.
