In his capacity as President of Kennecott Utah Copper, Dimock submitted the proposal to Kennecotts budget committee. Dimock also serves on the Westminster College board of trustees.

Dimock explained that the islands population has been livexising a virtually stone-ag- e tence, with a life expectancy of about 46 years and an infant mortality rate of 30 percent. Over a 5- - year period, some 350 locals completed the Kennecott program and were prepared to work on construction of the project and in the new gold mine. While waiting for the construction to start, the trainees used their newfound skills to build bridges and to con- struct roads, community centers and churches, Dimock said. Chesley praised this dedication to excellence in education exhibited by one of Utahs outstanding corporate citizens. While the capital campaign has resulted in many generous gifts, there is still great need for funding for equipment and collections for the library, as well as a number of other items. Chesley also noted that there are additional rooms in the library which are available for corporate or individual naming. With community support like that displayed by Kennecott Utah Copper, the library ground breaking scheduled for spring of 1996 is right on schedule.
