Little, Advisor The Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. Harvesting wood for home fires can provide a pleasant interlude in the forest or a painful tragedy. The difference often depends on the care and common sense used in operating the chain saw and other wood harvesting tools, says M. Leon Hunsaker, extension safety instructor, Utah State University. He said chain saws were associated with over 123,000 injuries requiring medical attention and 50 deaths in 1981. About 23 percent of these injuries resulted from a known as phenomenon kickback. That is the rearward and upward travel of the saw when it bucks, kicks or unexpectedly jumps toward the operator. He said kickback happens most often when limbs are being removed from the felled trees. He advises, make sure contains. He suggests wearing sturdy clothes, a hard hat, leather gloves, goggles and safety shoes with metal toecaps. Be equipped with hearing protectors to protect the ears when cutting steadily for any length of time. Hunsaker reminded that films, slidetapes and other information on chain saw safety and use are available from the Extension Safety Education Services office, UMC 83, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322, (phone ). Thrift Institutions Are Not Banks Grave concern was recently expressed by Lawrence W. Alder, Executive Vice President of Utah Bankers Association that the media and other sources continually refer to non-ban- k financial institutions as banks. Unfortunately here in Utah, the recent seizure of a thrift institution by the Department of Institutions has generated a great deal of publicity. Frequently, the company involved is referred to as a bank, when more properly it should be indentified as a Financial A definite thrift institution. distinction shoud be made betis ween what normally classified as a bank and a thrift institution. There are several generally accepted classes of thrift institutions, among them are Savings and Loans, Credit Unions and Industrial Loan Corporations, Alder stated. Safety and soundness is the hallmark of a banking institution. Funds of depositors in a bank are insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an agency of the Federal Government up to $100,000.00 through the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Deposit Corporation. Funds deposited in a thrift institution, such as the one recently seized by the Department of Financial Institutions protected to a maximum of through the Industrial Loan Guarantee Corporation which is not an instrumentality of the State of Utah or the Federal Government. It is a disservice to the general public to have the important distinction between banks and thrift institutions blurred through continual reference of thrift institutions as banks. It is a misnomer and the public should not be confused by this continual misrepresentation. They, the public, should be made well aware of the difference, Alder concluded. is $15,000.00 Dont Neglect SMV Emblem Some farmers neglecting use slow moving vehicle (SMV) emblem are courting danger for themselves and motorists, warned Dr. Von H. of the Jarrett, extension agricultural State Utah engineer, University.

Legislative recommendations A schedule of the Utah School Boards Association the tip of the chain bar does not contact another limb or object that can throw the saw backwards towards you. Also, do the cutting to avoid binding the chain bar. He strongly advises that part-tim- e woodsmen take time to get acquainted with their saws before striking out for the trees. Make sure the saw is running properly and that the chain is sharp. Read the operator's manual and commit to mind the safety hints it Candidate for County Auditor for the recommendations Legislature was presented to LaDonna Hobbs, the Board of Education for review, it was the consensus of incumbent, County Auditor, was born in Panguitch, Utah the Board of Education to approve the recommendation as and raised in Sandy, in Salt Lake County.

The SMV emblem is to be securely attached to the rear of farm equipment. Place this triangular reflective warning sign between two and six feet above the ground level so ap- proaching automobile headlights will strike the emblem at night. Keep the emblem clean and replace it when it becomes faded, Jarrett advised. Remember that a car traveling 55 mph needs only five seconds to cover 300 feet and hit a tractor traveling 15 mph. rear-en- Chronicle P.O. Box 248 Delta, Utah 84624 Progress P.O.
