Charles Wheeler says: "Beware of half you may have the wrong half!" MORE WASH LINE: This Is the time- of the year when you have to start sorting out your friends and acquaintances into 3-cent piles and 4-cent piles.

For Christmas card purposes, that is. It costs a 4-cent stamp to mail a Christmas card that's sealed, and only a 3-cent stamp if you mail it unsealed. So the big question is: Which friends are worth 4 cents and which friends are worth 3 cents? "Actually, It's not only a matter of money. The 3-cent friends save a lot of time and trouble, too, not to mention wear and tear on the tongue. Because you don't have lick the envelope when you send.it unsealed.

The. problem boils down to this: Send 4-centers to people you care for and send the cards in 3-cent, unsealed envelopes to people you don't care "a lick about." The difference between a and a beatnik is 'that a bum Isn't proud of It. AND STILL MORE: The winter weather has been so good in Salt Lake 'Gityvthat lots of otir best skiers haven't even broken th'eir legs yet.

"I want you to know that for 20 years I have been placing my name first on our Christinas cards, and my husband's name comes second. "When he read your column he suggested change the names this year.

I him off in no uncertain 'terms." I just want you to know our cards are going out to our friends as always, with my name in the front. So there! Well, Ma'am, it probably doesn't make too much difference. All your friends probably know your husband is henpecked anyway. Beware of a man who can anybody for more than hours!

International 'Union Mme, Mill and 'Smelterv workers; in Channel' Seeks To Speed Foothffl Traffic By Jerome K. 'Full Tribune Staff Writer In former days, engineers had a simple solution to the problem of controlling traffic at intersections.

They put up stop signs. That solution lingers on, but modern-day engineers are attempting to find'better ways of handling high volume, high speed traffic. A CASE IN POINT: the intersection of 21st East and Foothill Drive on Salt Lake City's southeast bench. J. Edward Johnston, assistant director of the Utah State Road Commission, in charge of highway planning, pooled ideas with his staff and came up with the design shown in the accompanying sketch.

THE CHANGES are fairly small, but they'll make significant changes in the way traffic responds. A major problem, Mr. Johnston says, is that northwest- bound traffic on Foothill didn't pay any attention to the 'no left turn' signs. So we decided to redesign the intersection so they coiild make left turns safely." IN ADDITION, the triangular island on the southwest corner of the intersection has been extended and a traffic- impeding lip on 'the island on the northeast side has received surgery the Jpur-month-old strike recessed Sunday shortly after .6 p.m. after a day-long session.

S. LYLE Johnson, federal mediator, said. the talks, had taken a turn after some progress' made in Saturday's session, which did not wind, up a.m. Sunday. Negotiations.

between the union and the' company are scheduled to resume Monday at 10 a.m. in Newhouse Hotel, said Mr. Johnson. THE STRIKE chalked up-its 125th day Sunday. It began Aug.

10 and some 10,500 workers struck Kenne- cott operations in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Since then It has caused an economic loss of millions of dollars to the company, the workers and the four states in which the copper company has properties. The Mine-Mill contract with Kennecott ended June 30 and the United Steelworkers of America agreement ran out on July 31. But workers continued on a day-to-day basisi until the strike was called. THE ACCIDENT RAISED Utah's 1959 traffic death toll to 193, equal to the total killed in the state during all of 1958.

State's Pattern for Safer Progress by Herbert M. Febmc! Lee K. Herbert Victim of crash on snowy highway. But King'In' Snow 'Sets Fire' To Utility Sunday's snow started fires. Firemen in Salt Lake and Murray were busy Sunday afternoon and evening dousing flames that enveloped utility poles throughout the county.

N. Malmquist Tribune Political Editor Because there will be no empty U.S. Senate seat for Utah to fill in 1960, the top prizes for aspirants to congressional prestige and emoluments will be nominations for the two seats in the House. CONTESTS are shaping up for the nominations in both districts and for the Democratic nomination in the -First District. In the Second District Democratic incumbent David S.

King is not likely to be seriously challenged for a second-term nomination. And his confident backers are beginning to talk about a shot at the U.S. Senate in 1962. THE DEMOCRATIC First District nomination, which has beeri' given an enhanced value by Republican Incumbent H. Aldous Dixph that he will not seek reelection, is likely to pull out a sizable number of candidates.

Currently i one as probable candidates are M. Elaine Peterson, -Ogden, who lost to Rep. -Dixon in George Frost, Weber County commissioner; State Sen. Glen M. Hatch, Heber attorney, and William G.

Bruhn, Panguitch businessman. BECAUSE OF retirement of Dixon and the fact that a Democrat holds the Second District the Republican nominations will be up grabs in districts. GOP prospects being discussed in the First District include; State Sen. Orval Hafen, St." George attorney and businessman; Rulqn Peterson, Weber Covinty; cattleman who managed one of the Dixon campaigns; E. LaMarBuckner, Ogderi linsurance man and former president of the National Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Clifton 'G.

M. Kerr, Trempnton businessman and former state senator who is currently serving as director of the party's state organization. IN THE Second District several names are being tossed around for reaction, including some who are also being discussed as possible challengers of Gov George Clyde for the gubernatorial nomination.
