Police Cheif, Michael Ferre' turned the calendar ahead today and made some pointed references to deadly tricks winter has in store for Pleasnt Grove drivers during the months ahead. Winter's reduced visibility and loss of adequate traction were the Chief's concern. "Our major winter traffic tie-up- s and skid-crashe- s can be traced back to one or a com-bination fo these factors," he pointed out. "Drivers must themselves to adverse winter conditions. Their vehicles must undergo important changes, too." As for changes in driving habits, Chief Ferre' recom-mended that winter weather conditions call for slower than normal speeds and in-creasingly greater distance between your car and other vehicles. "Under no circumstances," he warned, "can you start, go and stop on slippery pavements with any way near the efficiency you can on clear, dry roads." Concerning before-the-rus- h vehicle main-tenance, the Chief suggested that drivers follow checklists endorsed by the International Association of Chief's of Police and based on testing carried out by the Committee on Winter Driving Hazards of the National Safety Coun-cil. Engine for dependable starts when the mercury plunges. More importantly, a sputtering, unresponsive engine makes vehicle control on snow and ice-slic- k surfaces unnecessarily difficult if not impossible. Electrical System- - at tune-u- p time, have your battery checked, the generator (or alternator) as well as the wiring and distributor for breaks and cracks that can short out! Lights- - all must be working; and above all, must be kept clean. Exhaust-- - make sure the entire system is tight and is not leaking deadly carbon monoxide gas. Anti-Freeze- - keep recom-mended proportions for prevailing temperatures. Permanent types should usually be replaced every two years. Windshield--dea- d wiper blades and weak pressure wiper arms can't clear snow and ice build-ups- . "Dead" blades are cracked and dry and will streak. Replace them, and at the same time have your heater-defroste- r system checked. Brakes- - uneven braking is sure to throw your car into a skid on winter slick roads. Have brakes checked and ad-justed if necessary. Tires- - good treads are im-portant at any time of year, and especially when pavements are slippery. It's important to remember that the type of treat is more im-portant than whether the tire is of bias belted or radial con-struction. Tires with snow treads improve traction in snow, but are less effective on glare ice. In areas and during times when studded tires are per-mitted, they improve both stopping and pulling ability on ice. Tire Chains- - by far the best assist for all around protection under severe weather and road conditions - deep snow and glare ice. And the best of these are reinforced tire chains. ''Advance preparation coupled with sensible driving habits can reduce winter ac-cidents and traffic tie-up- s in the months ahead" Chief Ferre' concluded. "Time and money spent today to get your car ready for winter could be the best investment you can make for your family's security and your own peace of mind when winter hits."

L FKM0iGmrFEnoiciisn J School and v) Home fe 7 by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty f Executive Secretary J. UIUII LUUuiiUM nsawtiui When you get an invitation to meet with your child's teacher to talk about your Larry, don't jump to the con-clusion that it's because Larry has been acting like Atilla the Hun. He's probably a very good student. Most kids are, you know. The teacher probably needs to know more about Larry in order to do a better job of instruction. Here are some questions you might want to ask the teacher in your individual conference: What is Larry's ability level? (You probably will get a general statement in reply, rather than a reading on his I.Q.) Is Larry doing as well as he can? What books are being used? Has Larry shown any special interests? Does Larry get along with his classmates? Does he par-ticipate in group activities? Is he a leader? Does he have any discipline problems? Larry's teacher will probably have a series of questions for you. The teacher may ask about Larry's reaction to school. Does he have any health or emotional problems? What are his hobbies, special in-terests and abilities? How and where does he-- do his homework? What kinds of responsibilities does he have at home? One good question for you to ask the teacher is this: How can I help Larry at home with any problem areas he may have? If you forget about the con-ference when you leave the school, the exercise may have been a futile one. But if you discuss the ex-perience with your child, talk about books the teacher recommended for reading, mention plans for better study habits, point out positive things the teacher said about Larry, and set in motion any idea for helping your son- - it might be one of the most important things you could do for him. In suburban Salt Lake City the students of a junior high school slammed their lockers shut and headed home after, .another day of study. One of them didn't go with them. He had promised his teacher he would stay after school and study a subject for a certain amount of time. Alone in the classroom, the youth went to work. Suddenly, an explosion rocked the school. Quickly, teachers gathered at the of-fice buzzing with questions about what had happened. A school employe shouted that a furnace had exploded. He said there was a possibility that another blast could hit the school. "Let's get everybody out of the school," somebody yelled. Quickly, teachers headed down the halls on the dead run, opening doors and sear-ching classrooms. A teacher entered one room and gasped in surprise at what he saw. In that room was the youth who had that extra studying to do. The classroom was slightly damaged from the explosion, and little wisps of powdered plaster were still falling from the ceiling. The youth was calmly reading a book. "Get out of here, fast!" the teacher yelled. "I can't," said the youth. "What do you mean you can't?" cried the agitated teacher. "I promised Mister Ham-mer I would study here till four o'clock," the youth ex-plained. As tense as the situation was, the teacher probably smiled in admiration. It was one of the most vivid displays of real, honest-to-goodnes- s character he'd ever seen in a student. That really happened, and I related it for the benefit of those who may think youngsters aren't made of solid stuff anymore. They can be great. Utah Tech College Sets All-Ti- me Enrollment Utah Technical College at Provo set an all-tim- e enrollment record to grow 13 percent in its enrollment this quarter over the correspon-ding fall quarter of 1975, nine per cent over the peak winter quarter of last year, and in less than a decade has more than quadrupled its student total. And with auxiliary and programs, it is this year serving well over 4,000 people. This was announced today by President Wilson W. Sorensen in an enrollment report which shows a day and evening school total for the college of 3,881 this year an e record for the in-stitution. He noted it sur-passes by a fraction over 13 per cent the 3,434 for the corresponding fall quarter of last year, and is nine per cent above the 3,560 at which Utah Tech enrollment peaked in the winter quarter of 1976. And, the president pointed out, today's enrollment is well over four times the 1,023 for the year 1969-70- . In that year it passed the 1,000 mark, he said, and has clim-bed steadily each year to the present. The president said if the trend of past years continues, the enrollment should in-crease at least by some degree in the winter quarter approaching. Complete enrollment totals just available show 2,428 full-tim-day students for this quarter, compared to 2,252 for the corresponding quarter last year. Evening school total this year is 1,453 as against 1,182 for the fal' quarter last year. In addition, President Sorensen said, the college is serving nearly 400 ir auxiliary and programs which, added to the regular 3,881 enrollment, brings to nearly 4,300 the total receiving instruction from the institution. These extra programs are, he said, some 150 in driver training, another 100 in a commercial power sewing program, 35 high school students of the Slpine District taking auto mechanics at the college, and about 100 in a fireman training program where in-structors go to various com-munities in the state and train volunteer firemen. The record enrollment this year coincides with the first occupancy by the college of a portion of its new Orem cam-pus. Some 300 students in auto mechanics are in new facilities this quarter, and another 700 are scheduled to move into the new Business Building during the winter quarter. President Sorensen pointed out that thus far, all this will do is take care of part of the overflow from the crowded Provo Campus. The auto body and diesel mechanics students until this quarter were housed in rented facilities, and the business program students are occupying temporary classroom trailers on the Provo campus north parking lot. President Sorensen pointed out the move from the old to the new campus will be a ' gradual thing over several years as new buildings are i finished and as financing becomes available for others. The new campus sets on 185 - acres in the arm of and ' Orem's 12th South east of -' 15 and north of 12th South.
