Center on North Fork of the Ogden River Last week, Boyd Hancock Weber Soil Conservation District supervisor presented the Center with a snow set of special measuring equipment The same day, Ken Jones hydraulic engineer from the state SCS Snow Survey Section, laved out the snow course and trained Bruce Dursteller, Center Director and Lenora Skidmore, a teacher at the H Guy Child Elementry School, in the use of the equipment Th'e snow course is located in an opening in the trees some distance from the center where the snow will not be trampled by students Here, the snow falls directlv on the ground and trees and ridges protect the site from winds that might blow the snow away, or pile it up in deep drifts Data is collected by thin pushing a long aluminum tube down into the snow and reading the depth o the side of the tube Water content is determined by weighing the tube with the snow core inside on special scales From now or., measurements are to be made on the Nort Fork Snow Course at the middle and the of last each month, December through April, there are seven courses on the Ogden River, ten on the Weber River, and two on the headwaters of Farmington Creek O OJSQBIf Beginning in the Spring of 1978, when motorists request emergency assistance over the C B Channel 9, they have a good chance of being answered directly by a Utah Highway Patrolman or other law enforcement officer I tah is the third state in the nation to be accepted into the National Emeigeney Aid Radio Plan N E A R ) The 1978 session of the Utah Legislature appropriated approximately S 12.000 to the Utah Highway Patrol for the purchase of C B equipment Through the use of these funds the Highway Patrol will begin to install C B radios m all vehicles and C B monitors in each of the fourteen 24 hour manned Port of Enry stations ?nq communication centers In addition, other law enforcement agencies in I tah may receive Federal Highway Safety grants for this same purThe imK'tus for full scale participation in the NEAR plan came as a result of previous experimental use of C B equipment in selected fleet vehicles The value of such equipment in terms of quick response to emergency proved to be immeasurable, thus leading to a comprehensive C B monitoring program Beginning in late 1978. the Utah Highway Patrol officially authorized full use of CB plans made Annual Bed Cross Blood Drive sponsoied at Weber State College by the Inter fratirn.il Council will be April ID and II, said Alan I.okomski, dub president List year WsC hud a mord donation for the st bool and also ranked tops among the state's colleges and universities Uokomski said U very one is encouraged to participate Those who for some sK'( nil reasons are not quahtied will tie told he actual donation vv ill be on in Booms 947 and t4K of the WSC I mon to 2 Building from p m The process takes less T lurried 9am than an hour Carrying on the wotk will be qualified nurses who are contributing their services as volunteers for the Bed Cross Donors and their families wtio later need to use a blood bank are eligible for as mui h as may lie needed, Mr Iokomski said J equipment by the Troopers Subsequentlv over 1T0 Troopets purchased and installed U B radios in their vehicles at their own expense The personal initiative ol the troopers immediately resulted m a more effective motorist aid system In one instance alone, the U B report of a multifatal accident resulted in the saving of some 20 minutes in critical response time By using C B s in addition to their regular radio equipment, enfoi cement officers will be able to increase the listening coverage of the C B Channel 9. which is officially reserved by the Ft C for motorist aid and emergency usp only TheC B equipment will also enable a faster emergence response to those requests for help that ate received by the officers while they are in their patrol cars Specially appointed Highway Patrolmen in all areas cf the state will begin contacting the many efficient volunteer clubs who now monitor the emergency ( banned 9 in order to encourage their participation and coordinate the operation of the N E A R plan with those groups Littons grvAlest LrvAhthrough sirur mu rvtwave: Meal-In-On- e' OJ 5 Z jj o c Solid Slot Touch Control z UJ L U o v Automatic os tha 1 m 3 Year Warranty Now Available on all our uC)N Save energy with Litton microwave ovens.
