Show SEAT DRIVERS NO BACK . . . ''Drive: Tesfiog Laboratory" To Be In Delta Friday, April 2, on Safety Drive "Test your driving ability" is a challenge that may be met by all automobile drivers all day Friday, April 2, in Delta. For on that day 22 foot Aerovan Freuhauf semi-traile- r, the new powered by the new Flagship of the Fleet, 3 ton Ford F8 truck, will be in Delta all day, and the public is invited for inspection all through. The Freuhauf Semi will house a complete set of latest laboratory ,river testing equipment, including brake reaction test. nMinh,i vision, distance judgement, nerve and steadiness test, visual acuity, colo, glare recovery and night vis-ion adaptability. The "Driver Testing Laboratory" has been rolling through Utah since March 15, sponsored by the Utah Motor Transport Association, Salt Lake City, as part of the national safety campaign. They will be in Delta April 2, in Fillmore April 5. The day in Delta is sponsored by Heber Curtis, local Ford dealer, and chairman of the committee on ar-- I rangements, Gordon Edwards. Fire-stone dealer, John Day Truck In-surance Exchange, and Max Robi-Jso- Utah Oil Refining Co. A public meeting will be held in the DHS auditorium at 2 p. m., when a 30 minute show on safety measures will be shown, followed by talks from national and local speakers. Among questions the public is asked to ponder are: Is training to drive a 100-hor- power death dealing automobile less im-portant than training to run a typewriter, a bookeeping machine or a lathe? Would you believe there were far more dancing teach-ers and public speaking instructors than there are driving coaches. ts predict a driver training pro-- I grani would save up to 20,000 lives ner vear. Direct cost of automobile accidents in the U. S. are over one billion dollars per year. Delta has a driver, training class at the Delta high school, under Joe Snow, instructor, one of the small percent of high schools in the nation giving such training. The committee, in cooperation with Mr. Snow, plan to have every mem-ber of his class visit the driver test-ing laboratory. A public address system on the truck will keep the public advised of the whereabouts of the labora-tory, which will be open for use all day. The sponsors urge every-one to visit them and use the equipment, and attend the after-noon meeting.

Foremost of the research people J. f is Dr. Shirley Cooper, director of rural education, of the National Educational Association, Washing-ton D. C. A whole panorama of state people are participating in this conference, with Dr. Antone ' K. Romney, director of guidance and personnel, B. Y. U.; Dr. John I C. Carlyle, U. S. A. C; and Prof-essor H. B. Hunsaker, U. S. A. C. . as leaders in three various group W discussions f Other outstanding guests include ' Superintendent J. C. Moffitt, of Provo City schools; i Fred Fowler, state director of guid-ance and personnel.C.

Maughan )". commended highly the progressive v type of board of education we have I in this county, enabling the public, J the youth and the parents to ali ;: ! meet together to decide wherein j our schools can improve. If the ' board of education did not favor i 1 movements such as this, we would : not have in this county the high ( ;' type of educational leadership we 'J now have. Dr. Cooper highly praised what had been done in the past two ' years in Millard county, stating that we had done more in the way of stepping ahead than has been done anywhere else, yet he helped the group by showing where more could be done. A conference such as this, he stated, helps more to j prepare youth more adequately to meet life. "Any experience which j helps to mold the life of the in- - dividual is education. Significant experinences occur in the class- - room," he said. "And you towns- - DeoDle here have' a chance to sue- - gest more to type of experiences J you desire your children to have." The members of the conference ( on each side of the county divide J into three separate groups, and will make recommendations in each f of these for an improved school ;' program. These recommendations i coming from each side of the coun- - ,' ty will then be considered on Fri-day by the teachers, guided by Supt. Maughan and his staff, as- - '.; sisted by some of the key per-- ? sonnel of the conference to de- - cide which ones are practical in the existing circumstances of our county. It is realized that the schools are limited in certain ways because of finances and equipment, yet will do all that is possible to increase the calibre of experiences which are given to the individuals attending the schools.

Wildlife Plants Thousand of Trout Last Monday and Wednesday members of the West Millard Wild-life Federation assisted Mr. Ford, of the Springville Hatchery, in planting close to 180,000 trout fing-erlin-in the river. The fish were German Brown and Rainbow, who seem to thrive and flourish in the river waters. Mr. Ford made care-ful checks before and after plant-ing, and according to his findings food and water are entirely agree-able to the new finny denizens. The planting was from Leamington Canyon down the river. ' The same amount and varieties were also planted in the Diversion dam. A trip was made to Clear Lake to seine the carp and trash fish. Bass fishermen will be gladden-ed to know that 20,000 to 30,000 bass fingerlings are promised by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Fish and Game department, for deliv-ery to the Delta area, according to Mr. Madsen, of the Utah State Fish and Game department. Also, Clear Lake is to be repaired and as a bird refuge and bass hatchery in the near future. Plans are now underway on the project. The state department is trying out an electric trap, a device de-signed to keep fish from wander-ing too far and too wide. The try-o- ut is on the Weber River at pres-ent. If successful, such traps would prove beneficial in this area, to keep the fish from getting lost in canals or over the dam.
