Postal Identification No. 525640 Two and a half minutes By Stan less than one and one half Anderson In one and one half seconds you have passed the point of no return. A parked car, a fence, a tree almost anything can easily steal that one and one half seconds from you. I investigated an autopedestri-a- n accident that fits the above conditions. Two young girls ran into the path of a 60 mph car. One stopped in the opposite traffic lane and the other fan on. The driver locked his brakes and skidded into the running child just as she reached the edge of the pavement. The driver said that his speed was 60 mph. Calculating his speed from his skidd marks confirmed 60 mph. The speed limit on that highway at that time was 65 mph. I and the ambulance crew and the doctors did our best to keep the child alive and we succeeded inspite of the massive damage that had been done. However, Im afraid we did her and her family a disservice. Death isn't always the worst that can happen. If you can only save two and one d minutes at 60 half mph, then why drive 50 mph for only one and one half minutes gained? It sounds like a Jr. Sunday School talk, but in this case it isn't. We all waste far more time than that every day either in idleness or effort. Two and a half minutes is the time a driver destined to Coalville from South Hoytsville (near Reed Paces) can save, if they drive 60 mph instead of the posted 40 mph speed. To get your full two and a half minutes you have to pass any slower traffic and hope that they are not about to turn left. People don't always signal and brake and signal lights don't always work. To get your full two and a half you must keep a constant 60 mph as you pass pedestrians, bicycles, animals and children. A child can run from their front porch to the center line on the road in 4 seconds easily. In four seconds a car travels 350 feet at 60 mph. There are places in Hoytsville where you can't see 350 feet because of a curve or hill. At 60 mph you can stop in 226 feet if you have good brakes and good reaction time. The difference in time between 350 feet and 226 feet at 60 mph is mis-dircct- hard-earne- Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: Task Force on Violent Crime has recommended four common-sens- e steps to strengthen the nation's gun law and make it more difficult for the criminal and the crazed to acquire handguns.

Respondents were then asked how many years students should be required to take each of these subjects. People tended to call for four years of math, English, historyU.S. Government and science. Results were very similar when people were asked which subjects should be required of students not planning to enter college. The responses were: mathematics, selected by 91 percent of the people as a requirement; English, 89 percent; business, 75 percent; historyU.S. Government, 71 per teach computer training.

People also believe that schools should require instruction in drug and alcohol abuse. They were given a list of five special instruction areas and asked if courses in them should be required of all high school students. Eighty-tw- o percent supported mandated drug abuse instruction, and 78 percent called for alcohol perabuse classes. Seventy-on- e cent would require driver education; 64 percent felt parenting or. parent training should be mandated; and 43 percent believe students should be required to and the educational objectives which they believe should be given greater attention, the present school school day and the present year are far too short to accommodate their requirements, wrote George Gallup in his analysis of the survey. "The increasing educational demands of a society that constantly grows more complex lead to a conclusion that seems warranted; inevitably the school ' day and the school year must lengthen to meet these demands, he indicated.

This gives President Reagan, himself nearly killed with a Saturday Night Special, an opportunity to lead this Congress in an effort to stop handgun violence in America. If passed, these handgun control measures would save lives and help make America safe once again. Write the President today and urge him to adopt the Task Forces recommendations.

Removing the pulp from the tooth does not produce a "dead tooth. It will be very much alive and functioning because it has a source of blood and nerve supply from the surrounding tissues that hold it in place. The tooth will have no sense of feeling because the nerve has been removed, but the tooth itself will be fine. It should last as long as your other teeth and could even be eventually used as an anchor tooth for a denture bridge. Throughout the week, they heard from Jackie Nokes, Assistant to the President of KSL, Clover J. Sanders. Chairman of the Board of Clover Club Foods Company and many others who volunteered their time to come and speak on various business topics. They saw movies, toured a business in the Logan area and received instructions on how you personally can begin to prepare for your own career. At business week, they played an exercise called the Management Decision Laboratory. The exercise functioned by use of a computer. The purpose of the exercise was to demonstrate how a business environment can be simulated or modeled with a computer. They were divided into competitive teams and no exchange of information was allowed between teams except through reports prepared by the computer. Each team organized itself as a company executive team for making decisions. One of the' most basic ingredients for survival in business is honesty in all dealings, both internal and external. Integrity in business is built and earned over a long period of time through prompt honoring of commitments and fair dealing with all. The idea for business week started in the state of Washington six years ago. It has spread to several other states and may eventually be held nationwide. v Deena Ovard Karla was sponsored by Mountain Bell and Deena was sponsored by Utah Power and Light.

Students who have attended USU before, or who have been admitted for this fall, may register individually between now and September 10 in Old Main, Room 106, according to Lynn Poulsen, assistant director of admissions and records at USU.

Reaganites, be forewarned. time-consumi- Utah F oimdation reports bankruptcies slowed Enactment of new legislation by the 1981 Utah Legislature apparently has slowed the growth of bankruptcy filings in Utah. This was reported by Utah Foundation, foe private research organization, in a study of bankruptcy filings in Utah. According to the Foundation report, the 1981 Legislature enacted a law which substitutes state exemption provisions for the more liberal federal provisions in bankruptcy cases. The new state law, which went into effect onMay 12, 1981, has resulted in a in bankruptcy dramatic drop-of- f filings. In June, for example, there were 50 percent fewer filing than the total for May. In July there were 54 percent fewer filings than in May and 7 percent fewer than in June. Foundation analysts hasten to point out, however, that while foe new Utah law has moderated foe growth in bankruptcy filings, it has by no means eliminated them. Although the July bankruptcy filings were less than half those reported for May, the total still was above foe monthly average for 1980. During recent years, considerable concern has been expressed regarding the dramatic increase in the number of personal and business bankruptcies in Utah and the U.S. Observers note that foe floodtide of bankruptcy filings results in higher prices for all consumers and tends to restrict credit for worthy individuals and firms. Moreover, there are many who view the bankruptcy trend as evidence of a breakdown of foe moral fiber of foe state and foe nation. The Foundation cites the following as major factors contributing to the increased number of bankruptcy filings in Utah and the nation: (1) poor economic conditions in a number of key areas, (2) increased awareness of a "Bankruptcy option brought about by lawyer advertisements and other communication factors, (3) more divorce and deteriorfamily conditions which ' ating often lead to financial problems, and (4) an apparent change in foe attitude' of many individuals with respect to the honoring of contractual obligations. To counter the bankruptcy trend, granters of credit have begun a campaign to make a prospective bankrupt aware of the consequences of such an action. Even with this campaign and foe new Utah law which reduces foe exemption allowan ces, many believe that changes still will have to bi made in foe Federal Bankruptcy Code if foe bankruptcy trend is to be permanently arrested and eventually reduced. Among foe changes suggested to provide greater creditor protection are the following: 1. The federal law should be strengthened so that only insolvent debtors (those with more liabilities than assets) can declare bankruptcy. 2. The discharge of debt in a bankruptcy proceeding be based on projected future income as opposed to real assets, as is foe current rule. The federal government provide more judges and staff to those courts which are floundering in the deluge of bankruptcy cases. 4. The federal law be changed so that furniture, automobiles, etc. put up as security for a loan and be subject to repossession in case of a default. This would encourage lenders to again grant smaUJoanf ., 5. The Federal law allows I creditors to negotiate with bankrupts after they fife, so that a; mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached before the maer is settled by the court. |
