(Sue Terrill Photo) Patrol recommends speed limit HELENA ( AP) — State High way Patrol officials say a day time speed limit would be the most effective means of curbing traffic fatalities. Montana law does not limit daytime highway speeds other than to stipulate that speeds shall be reasonable and pru dent. “We should have an overall speed limit,” says Capt. Robert Griffith, the patrol’s assistant chief. “I don’t think 75 is too high for an interstate, but there’s lots of two-lane roads in Montana where 75 just isn’t a reasonable speed,” he said in an interview. Patrol official support their view by citing statistics show ing that speed is a major cause of traffic fatalities. “At 80 miles an hour, it’s go ing to take more than seat belts and a shoulder harness; it’s go ing to take a miracle,” said Sgt. Ted Stollfuss. who heads the patrol’s department of safety and education. Die 1973 legislature rejected a speed-limit bill and under leg islative rules, it appears doubt ful that such a measure will be considered in the 1974 session.

Mitchell, the Justice Department has disclosed.

Holiday gifts promote warmth ' NEW YORK (AP) — Despite high prices, harsh winter weather and jitters over the energy crisis, American consumers spent hundreds of millions of dollars on holiday gifts this year. Many retailers report Christmas sales reached record highs. An Associated Press check of major stores in several cities across the country indicates the oil shortage, as expected, spurred buying intrest in items designed to keep people warm. “Sweater sales were phenomenal and we sold out on electric heaters very fast,\ said a spokesman for Bloomingdales, which operates 11 stores in the New York area. WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres ident Nixon’s trip to California by commercial airliner Wed nesday night saved the nation’s fuel supply up to 10,000 gallons c'ir his primary jet alone. Accor ling to figures provided by the Vhite House, the Presi dent’s personal jetliner, “The Spirit of ’76,” consumes be tween 9,000 and 10,000 gallons of fuel on a one-way trans continental flight. In addition, a nearly identical backup aircraft and a com mercially chartered press plane customarily flown on long-dis tance presidential trips were not used, increasing the fuel savings. And, when Nixon’s party ar rived at Los Angeles Inter national Airport, it was ferried to the President’s San Cle mente, Calif., estate by au tomobile rather than helicopter. Passenger train for sale DENVER (AP) - Dick McKinley of Denver is trying to sell his five-car passenger train and locomotive to President Nixon. “It would make an ideal presidential train,” said McKinley, 43, who wrote to Gen. Alexander Haig, Nixon's chief of staff. McKinley bought the old Ne braska Zephyr three years ago and has been trying to sell it since October. When railroads in Colorado refused to allow him to use their tracks for passenger service and for a ski train, McKinley reluctantly hung an $80,000 price tag on the train. “ My train is perfect,\ McKinley explained. “Die cars don't come apart, so you wouldn’t have to worry about security. And there could be separate cars for offices, sleep ing quarters, dining, the Secret J Service and the press.\ Nixon paid out of his own pocket the one-way, first-class tickets costing $217.64 each for himself, his wife Pat and daughter Tricia Nixon Cox. The federal treasury paid for nine members of his party at the first-class rate and bought coach \^kets at $167.64 apiece for 13 others.

Many of our customers even suggested this measure.\ Future fuel usages spelled out by Simon WASHINGTON (AP) - Energy Chief William E. Simon released decisions. concerning fuel rationing and allocations this morning, with new rules concerning the allocations and a standby rationing system outlined. Simon said the rationing system being developed now looks toward a basic ration averaging about 32 to 35 gallons of gasoline per month, with coupons to be distributed to every licensed driver over 18 years old. But the ration would be in creased or decreased in certain areas of the nation to take ac count of differences in population density, availability of public transportation, and types of private driving which may be considered essential. Simon said the driver even more certainly will face higher gasoline prices because of the sharp increase in the price of Arab oil and the likelihood that other world oil prices may also rise. Simon said continued public Post office open Monday Dillon Postmaster Bruce Watters reminded Dillon area postal patrons that the Post Office will serve window customers from 8:30 a.m. until 12 noon Monday, taking only a half-day holiday New Year’s eve day. Full delivery of all city, rural and star routes will be made Monday and all arriving dispatches will be distributed, with a “clean” post office before the staff members leave, the postmaster said.

Gallatin hunt nets 78 elk The second three day hunt in the Upper Gallatin, which ended Sunday, resulted in an average hunter success of 29 per cent with a total of 76 elk taken by 265 hunters. I Permits were issued to 350 hunters for each of the seven weekend hunting periqds. The Fish and Game Department’s objective is to remove 700 elk from the Upper Gallatin and Madison, so elk number will equal available winter forage. During the regular season, 97 elk were taken plus 216, so far in die two past weekend hunts, bring the elk harvest so far this year to 313. Die hunting unit in the Bear Creek area of the Madison drainage was opened for the first time this weekend. Elk from Yellowstone Park migrate into the Madison area, as well as into the Upper Gallatin to winter. For this reason a hunting unit was also established on the Madison side of the mountain range. This past weekend the Madison area, as well as the area adjacent to Yellowstone Park and the Taylor Fork area, were opened to hunting, ac cording to Don Bianchi, Fish and Game information officer.

Simon also announced the issuance, as required by law, of regulations to control the distribution of crude oil, aviation fuel, residual oil a heavy fuel oil, petrochemical oil raw materials and “other” petroleum products. But he delayed until Jan 11 under another legal provision, issuing the allocation regulations on motor gasoline propane gas, and middle distillate oils, including home heating oil and diesel fuel But Simon did announce that airlines would not see their fuel supplies cut as drastically as previously proposed. He said the new regulations would allow major airlines to receive 95 per cent of the fuel quantities they used in 1971;. instead of 85 per cent as previously proposed. Simon said despite the im proved oil outlook, reductions in heating would still be necessary, with residences ordered to turn thermostats down 6 degrees and other buildings to reduce heating by 10 decrees. Simon said residual fuel oil ' will be diverted from parts of the country where supplies un available to New England, heavily dependent on imported oil. As yet another gasoline saving measure, Simon asked high school students not to drive to school and said he was urging school boards to discourage their driving, perhaps by closing school parking lots to students’ cars. Simon said if rationing of gasoline does come, the system would cost about $1.5 billion pet- year, and his present plans are to charge each driver $1 for his monthly ration book Simon said, however, it would really be up to (Congress to decide on financing. He said his lawyers were examining existing legislation to see if rationing could actually be put into effect without a new law to authorize it. Preliminary in dications were that new legislation would be needed, he added.
