Battle Five hundred sixty-four killed by automobiles during the 1965 Labor Day week-end. That's the record by us Americans in our Trenzied effort to say farewell to sum mer. We did righ well in the traffic death this year.

We beat the record set in 1963 by 7, so that shows we are noflipping back in our disregard for human life. Don't know at the moment how many Americans have been killed in the unending war in Viet Nam. However the total killed to date, there, and our 1965 traffic toll shockingly show there are some things more deadly than war. In other words, it's safer to fight the Communist Viet Cong than to fight American automobile drivers on a long weekend. Perhaps in our confusion of super highways, millions of high powered cars, railroad crosings, inter-changes and erratic and irresponsible drivers, we, have created a system that we cannot combat.

Yes, a sys-lie the seeds of our own destroy, us. The whole hodgepodge of our automobile-highway complex is something like the atomic bomb. Science and mechanical skill created it; but within it lies the seeds of our own Mayor Paul T. Fordham, members of the city council, and city appointive heads of departments returned Saturday night after attending the three-day sessions of the Utah Municipal league. Meetings, for the most part, were held at the Newhouse Hotel, Salt Lake City Mayor Fordham reported that the 1965 convention was one of the best that he has ever attended.

While the displays of local fruits were somewhat lacking due to last spring's killing frost, the other displays more than made up for it. The annual Birthday Party, featuring a program by the Manila DUP Camp and tours of Pioneer Museum was well attended and appreciated by those interested in Pleasant Grove's early history. The judges awarded numerous first place blue ribbons and there was a sprinkling of sec- Kewaioiiig Eveinifi Atomic power and the automobile are priceless servants, when controlled by sane, intelligent and compassionate human beings. But in the hands of irresponsible fools, they become monsters of.

death and destruction. The responsibility for a lot of the vehicular maiming and death should be laid at the doors of the automobile manufacturers. Cars are not built safe enough for today's speedy and slam-bang traffic. Also cars are too powerful. Why should a family be encouraged to purchase an automobile powered by 360 horses? What sense is there in selling a family car that will do 120 miles per hour, or more? If the power and speed are there at the touch of a toe, the showoff, the drunk and the halfwit are going to use them.

There are plenty of them on the road every day and many more on the holiday weekends. So it seems, that if safety cannot be instilled into the driver, it must be built 'into the car. Current trends toward increasing power and speed will need to be reversed and more safety built into the car. There is ample proof that slogans and traffic laws, won't stem the tide of highway tragedy. So long 'till Thursday..
