Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., Aug, 30, 1951 Utah Motorists Reminded Of New Safety Law Utah motorists were given their last reminder by Public Safety Commissioner Joseph W. Dudler that beginning Saturday they will be subject to the state's new Mo-tor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law. "There is no reason why this law should cause you hardship," Commissioner Dudler told the mo-torists in a radio broadcast. "If you drive safely, it will never af-fect you except to protect you against those who do not. If you should have an accident, as a mo-tor vehicle owner or operator, you must be prepared to pay for the damage you cause. If you are not so prepared, you must surrender all of your privileges to own or operate a motor vehicle until you do. That is your new law in a nut-shell." Suspension of motoring privil-eges under the Safety Responsibil-ity Law applies only to an accident in which a person has been killed or injured, or property damage ex-- I ceeds $100. It must be enforced 60 days after the accident against all owners and operators involved, regardless of fault, who fail to furnish satisfactory proof of their ability to pay damage claims up to $11,000. An accident in which a person is killed or injured, or pro-perty damage exceeds only $25, however, must be reported within five days to the Department of Public Safety by the operator of every car involved, also regardless of 'fault. Answering a number of import-ant questions he has been asked most frequently since being made administator of the new law, the commissioner emphasized that, it does not require a motorist to pay damage claims for which he is not liable. Pending the final settle-ment of that question by a court, however he said proof of ability to pay must be given within the y period, either by depositing security or posting a surety bond with the Department of Public Safety. Insurance also is recog-nized by the law as sufficient proof, provided, it was in force at the time of the accident. The se-curity or bond, he explained, will be used to pay damage claims or refunded, according to how the court decides. Commissioner Dudler also warn-ed motorists that the new law gives the state an additional means of removing from the high-way permanently, as owner and operator of a motor vehicle, those who repeatedly cause accidents. While insurance will provide pro-tection against an accident while it is in force it may be difficult to obtain renewal of the policy if there is a second or third acci-dent. This is one of the most im-portant safety features of the law, because the motorist must then drive carefully or face the pros-pect of being removed from the road permanently. Utah's new law is similar to statutes that have been (found ef-fective in a majority of other states. Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Joe Mercer, local drug dealer and Rook player, learned a lesson that he should have learned in child-hood, but put off until it was too late. It seems that the Pill Roller was out back burning a little trash in the incinerator when a shapely leg went past, which Joe spent some time admiring. For his aud-acity the wind took a turn for the worse and whipped a nice fat blaze right over his head so that his thinning locks were thinned even further and his eyebrows ab-out defunct. It shows that when a man rea-ches Joe's age he should keep his mind on the fire in the incinerator because that is about the only fire he is able lo kindle. And the lesson he should have learned in early youth is to not play with matches, and also to keep your eye on the ball and not be gopping about the country-sid- e looking at things that should no longer concern one. The Paul Whickers have the most aromatic washing in Hinckley and it is said that many people there come up to the Whicker home just to sniff when a washing is put out. All this came about when the Whickers had more Whickers for company such as Flig and his wife Ruby, and Marge Hildebrand. The reunion called for more than just talk so a supply of tonic was put in fitting for the occasion, of wh-ic- k there are those who can take it or leave it alone, or just plain take it. ' As the evening wore on some-one mistook the automatic washer for the refrigator and large bottle of what was once prohibited was put in the automatic washer for safe keeping and cooling, suppos-edly. The next morning Ruby, the early bird, arose and seeing no one using the washer and seeing no one period, went about doing up the family wash. A capacity load of clothes was put in without so much as even looking for a mouse or anything else in the washer and the gadget was turned on. Soon a delectable aroma filled the house that, aroused the sleepers who thought possibly breakfast was ready, or at least something just as good. A gathering was held in the kitchen inhaling the smell and fil-ling their lungs with to the satis-faction of all when someone had the nerve to state that something smelled clear 'from Denmark. A hur ried search for the hidden treasure and the source of the delightful aroma failed to bring to light the hidden fifth, and it was not until Ruby got ready to hang out the clothes that the reason for the smell was found. Coyly in the bottom of the was-her reposed an empty bottle which had been thoroughly used to blea-ch, purify and sachet the clothes. It is reported that they had such a tempting ordor that some sug-gested sitting right down and chew ing them, and thus gaining back what was already lost. But cooler heads prevailed and the clothes were hung out much to the upsetting influence of the good people ci Hinckley (and some not so good) for it is also reported that some men went out back of the hay stack and took a great big breath where no one could see them ,and it is reported again that those foolhardy souls had an edge on all day sharp en-ough to cut glass. Mystery surrounds why the bot-tle did not break; why such ex-pensive stuff was used for a bleach; and why a counterof ten-sive odor such as skunk oil was not put out to keep from seducing the many which it did. There are some in Hinckley who hope the practice continues and are looking forward eagerly to an-other wash day at the Whickers when fun and merriment will reign Fuzz, Susan and Mary Jane were fishing last Saturday at Pu'ffer Lake and Susan caught five to Jane's one. When Fuzz asked Mary Jane why she didn't catch more fish the four-ye- old sage replied, "I haven't been baptized yet." It must have been the case because on Sunday when the baptized Sus-an was fishing Instead of going to Sunday School Jane whipped her to pieces. If baptizing has anything to do with sucess in fishing there is go-ing to be a rush on the baptimal founts and a good many grown ups will want a retake.
