They say that one of the most dangerous places in this nation is our highways and right now I'm prepared to second that motion. Ill bet there isn't one our readers that hasn't had some sort of a close call while driving. Lets list some of the amazing tricks people pull that daily endanger the lives of every mobile human being, I i C 4. NUTS. Ever sit at a stop sign trying to 1. second guess the nimeompoop facing you. What in the world is he going to do? Hes not signalling to turn yet he wont proceed into the intersection. ..You can bet that what ever he does it will be a big surprise, maybe to both of you. (hr maybe, youre following the guy and right out of the clear blue sky he decides to turn. I dont know if this brand of driver just figures if its no one elses business what he does, or what, but I'll bet he could save a lot of insurance money and a few lives if theyd try signalling before a manuever. Undecided fate SIGNALLERS Just the opposite of the nuts are the constant signallers. I think they turn their blinkers on when they leave home and leave them on all day. This type of person was made especially to drive the rest of thd world crazy. 3. THE "I CAN MAKE IT driver These guys are pretty sharp. No matter how thick traffic is if they want to pull out into a lane, they can make it." I ran into one of those (practically) just the other day. It was a big red and green flat-be- d truck loaded to the gills with hay. There were cars in both lanes, a steady stream of them, but he figured he could make it. So he pulled out in front of me. I was doing 55 and he was doing a mighty 20, almost. Needless to say I had to do a fancy bit of maneuvering to get around him and for a while I didnt think Id make it. I gave him a dirty look and prayed that all his hay would come unbaled. Usually the only thing the "I can make it driver does make is an early grave, either for himself or someone else. al 4. IIURRY-U- P IIARRYS No matter how fast youre . Harry always have to pass you. You going Hurry-upT probably noticed them most a few weeks ago, just after the, ,' highway department bad finished laying the chip layer on' most of the roads around here. Throe are the guys that, regardless of what the warning signs said, had to pass you. Yeah, you remember, theyre the ones who left all the little chips in your windshield...the ones that will turn to cracks as soon as the weather gets cold. 5. THE KOAD1IOG This one is a classic. No matter where you are, narrow mountain road or superhighway, the roadhog always has to take his half out of the middle. He generally straddles the center line and never goes more than 45 miles per hour. And when you finally decide which lane would be the safest to pass him in he moves over. Needless to say I could go on all day and you probably could too. If Ive missed your pet peeve why not write and tell me and our readers about. Nobodys perfect, we could all take a lesson from the stupid mistakes other drivers make.

Here, it means the difference between a bumper crop, a very poor one or none at all. And Utah Power would like to talk to you about the part electricity plays in bringing water to area farms and ranches. Right now, for example, some six hundred seventy-fiv- e thousand acres in Utah Power & Lights service area are irrigated, and about twenty-fiv- e thousand new acres are being brought under cultivation every year. Electric pumps supply water to feed irrigation canals, and mobile sprinkling systems to irrigate the fields. It takes a lot of water . . . and a lot of electricity. In fact, the amount of electric power needed for irrigation has more than doubled in the last 10 years, adding substantially to Utah Power & Light s peak demand. These crops are important to the food supply of the nation and the economy of this area. And it takes water and electricity to make the crops and the economy grow. And, since youre a customer, you have a right to know what agriculture asks of Utah Power in this area. Lewiston Drug Company Lewiston, Utah 4 |
