Myron L. Kunz carries the badges of a young man's mistake at the wheel. But he's learned a lesson, wants to help others. Live and Learn? It's Reverse for Reckless Driver By Jim G. Baldwin Tribune Staff Writer "If they're anything like me, it won't help them." MYRON LOGAN Kunz, 21, 6304-560 East, Murray, appeared before City Traffic Court Judge M.

H. Morris Monday morning and entered a plea of guilty to a charge of reckless driving. He wanted to get it over with now, he told the judge, because he has to go back in the hospital: more surgery to try to restore lacerated nerves, which have paralyzed his arm. TI1E YOUNG Murray motorist appeared in court Monday on a citation issued at the beginning of the year a citation issued as the result of a traffic acicdent Jan. 1, 1S64, at 3:45 a.m.

at 7th East and Simpson Avenue. "I don't remember anything about the accident," Mr. Kunz told Judge Morris. Jan. 1 through 3 are blacked out in his memory.

"WOULD IT DO any good to tell your experience now to young people about to graduate from high school?" lie was asked. "If they're anything like me, it won't help them," he said. "No one could tell me anything. Several policemen stopped me and told me what was going to happen. "ONE MURRAY officer stopped me for speeding.

He didn't give me a ticket. He said it wouldn't do me any good. But he said he would visit me when I wound up in a hospital because of a traffic accident. Ke kept his word." The traffic accident that taught Myron Kunz the lesson caused $1,000 damage to his 1959 model automobile. There was no insurance.

It caused another $760 damage to a bakery. TO MYRON KUNZ, the physical toll probably will never be fully paid. He suffered a skull fracture, muscles in the right eye were stretched and he wears a patch while the eye heals; he suffered a fractured shoulder, a shattered clavicle. The accident tore apart the main artery from the heart to the left arm. The nerves from the spine to the ieft shoulder were destroyed.

SO FAR, DOCTOR bills have teen almost $2,000. After court Monday the youth returned to a hospital to have nerves from the shoulders of a deceased person substituted for his own, in hopes of restoring the left arm to use. JUDGE MORRIS levied a fine of $250 against the Murray youth. "I can't put him in jnil under the circumstances," the judge said. "He will lose his driving privilege for one year.

He is financially unable to pay the $250 line. He is physically unable to work off the fine." The motorist, himself, provided the answer. "I LEARNED a lesson," Mr. Kunz said. "I'll think of the hospital every time I get a lead foot in an automobile.

1 With concurrence of Judge Morris, the Murray youth will pass on the lesson to other traffic violators more fortunate. WHEN HE HAS been released from the hospital time, lie will report to Judge Morris to lecture to violators at the court traffic school. "I might do some good there," Mr. Kunz agreed. Nothing Serious By Dan Valentine BRIDAL TIPS: This is a column about things every June bride should know.

These are little inside tips to marriage that a June bride cannot find in books. She can buy books about how to cook honeymoon meals and books about how to deco rate house, and books Dan Valentine about how to look lovely in the morning. But there is no book available on the little inside tricks of marriage which can give a June bride the edge over her new husband right at the start. MY NAME isn't Heloise, but here are some household hints for June brides that are worth their weight in honeymoon gold: June Brides: Always insist on personally sending your husband's suits to the drycleaners. (This will give you a chance to go through his pockets without starting an argument!) Never let your husband buy you a birthday present.

(You buy the present and on your birthday show him what he got you!) Never let your husband carry a wallet. If he carries a wallet, sooner or later he'll want to carry money in it. (Tell him a wallet bulges his trousers out in the rear and detracts from his shape.) IF YOU ARE working, always put both your check and his check in your own personal checking account. (In case of a divorce this will save lawyer's fees!) Allow him one night off each week so he can go out with the boys (but insist on going Buy a mink coat on time as soon as possible. (Monthly payments keep a husband alert and forces ban to work harder af the Decide right at the very start which one of you is going to mow the lawn (and just exactly how often he is going to do NEVER, BUT never, mention the fellows you used to go around with, and the men you could have married (except, of course, during the course of an As soon as you set up housekeeping, give him a part of the clothes closet that is his very own (and then hang your old winter coat and sports dresses AO Audit Road Aid Use in Utah Officials Say Step Routine By Harry Fuller Tribune Staff Writer An extensive audit of Utah Highway Department operations by the United States General Accounting Office is under way, it was reported Monday.

"The general accounting office," he said, "has been auditing all state highway departments using federal funds, and Utah is one of the last states checked." THE GAO AUDIT, Mr. Hel land added, is considered routine although quite comprehensive. "We're audited by the Bureau of Public Roads and we maintain our own internal audit continually," Mr. Helland said, "but the GAO examines every using federal funds." PRIOR TO starting at the tate highway department, i vas reported Monday, the same AO audit team audited the Bureau of Public Roads operation here.

Some similar GAO audits have issued reports quite critical of state highway departments participating in the federal interstate highway program. IN ANOTHER direction Monday, the Utah Highway Department endorsed efforts by a Council committee to consolidate a multiplicity of state finance funds. MEETING WITH committee chairman Ernest G. Mantes (D- Tooele), Highway Director C. Taylor Burton; Road Commission member Elias J.

Strong, Salt Lake, and Highway Department Internal Auditor Irvin C. Fox, the group gave favorable consideration to the plan outline. Mr. Burton said after the meeting: at the Engineering College at the University of Utah. She lives at 3 7 University and a nearby lot was quite unsightly.

SAM, THE SAD CYNIC, SAYS: The average Jme bride is ready for the battle of fife, usually being a veteran of several engagements before marriage! 'THIS IS A good business approach we can certainly agree with in general." He said Sen. Mantes' plan would consolidate 16 separate highway department accounts into one. "THIS WOULD simplify book keeping and keep us up to dat on the amount of money avail able," Mr.

Burton said. Sen. Mantes' committee in tends to overhaul the entire sepa rate fund system in Utah's stat government, eventually reduc ing some 180 accounts to than 20. "WE CANT SEE any objec fact we see a great the collections going to a single fund for allocation out as administratively determined," the highway director said. Judge Rejects Bid to End Rein on UEA Group Denies Intention To Obstruct or Punish By William F.

Smiley Tribune Education Editor A judge refused Monday to dismiss a temporary restraining order against the Utah Education its officers, trustees and employes. "THIS CASE HAS GONE BEYOND mere friction between the boards of education and the UEA," said Third District Judge Joseph G. Jeppson. "It is now a matter of the general public interest, even for those without children in the schools." The judge denied a withdrawal of the complaint and continued the restraining order without date. Dismissal can come, he said, about June 4 or 5, "after most of the contracts expire." THE ORDER WAS ISSUED MAY 18 at the instance of the Utah State Board of Education to restrain UEA leaders from suggesting any action in their efforts to get new funds for the 1964-65 school year that might be construed as a breach of contract.

They are ghostly and elusive. Apparently they carry fhe disappearing energy" reported in some nuclear reactions. SINCE IT IS weightless and has no charge, its incredibly rare collisions with matter are strictly by chance. But such a collision or passage through an unstable charge field of another particle of matter results in creation of a muron and and another neutrino. While neutrinos may go completely through the earth, other particles will be stopped in the 2,000 feet of overburden atop the mine, thus simplifying identification of a neutrino, Dr.

Keuffel believes. "WE ARE making the detector large enough to examine enough interactions in a reasonably short time to be meaningful." he said. What will they do with the results?

JUDGE JEPPSON denied the dismissal and said he woulc take the matter under advisement.
