While said he received a call in the wee hours of Saturday morning, October 16, that Sheriff Dave Carter of Juab County was pursuing a vehicle southbound from Nephi after it left a service station there without paying for gas. Carter pursued the vehicle into Millard County where Deputy White joined him in the chase. Also assisting were UHP Trooper Jim White, Fillmore Police Chief Clayton Edwards, Deputy Ross Johnson, and Sheriff Ed Phillips. At about two miles south of the north Holden overpass the fleeing vehicle blew out a tire, crossed over the median and both northbound lanes and stopped against the fence on the east sideofHighwav l5.Thefour occupants jumped from the car and ran east up into the cedars. The area was cordoned off by the East Millard Sheriffs Posse and a search of the area was started. Deputy Rob Lang set Sioux Bear on their trail and within five minutes Sioux Bear walked right up to three of the suspects hiding behind a tree. The three juveniles, two boys and a girl, 15 and 16 years of age, were taken into custody. The fourth suspect, a 17 year old boy, was reported walking along a railroad track in the area by a citizen later that day. He was arrested by Deputy Johnson that afternoon. The vehicle they were driving was reported stolen in Salt Lake City. The suspects were transferred tothe Juvenile Detention Center in Provo. Deputy White said the posse was called out at 4:30 a.m. to secure the area and aid in the search and they turned out in force. He said, I don't think the posse gets the recognition they should and they are exceptionally fine, dedicated men. Sioux Bear made the front page of the Progress last year when Lang, who was then a member of the Sandy Police Department, and another Sandy officer brought their dogs to Fillmore to demonstrate their abilities. These specially trained dogs can not only find suspects, as Sioux Bear did Saturday, but can locate lost people, even if theyre buried under snow , and can cither attack or hold a suspect at bay, and can sniff out drugs or, as we saw Sioux Bear do at last year's demonstration, find a spent cartridge hidden in the grass.

The impact of the national recession will remain clearly evident in Utah during the fourth quarter with a high unemployment rate and sluggish sales gains characterizing the economy, said Dale W. Edwards, Assistant Vice President, quoting the First Security Newsletter. The quarterly report, which will be published this week, is edited by Dr. Kelly K. Matthews, vice president and economist for First Security Corporation, regional bank holding company. Tourist activity during the summer was generally favorable. Air traffic at the Salt Lake International Airport for the first eight months of 1982 was up 44 percent. Western Airlines, with its new Salt Lake City hub, accounted for 58 percent of this total volume. Transient room tax receipts during the first half of 1982 were up 13 percent. Despite these favorable increases in the tourist-related industry, total retail sales tax collections in the third quarter of 1982 were unchanged from a year ago. The outlook for consumer spending in Utah in the months ahead, including the Christmas season, suggest only moderate increases over a year ago. The rate of unemployment in Utah is expected to vary between 8 2 to 9 percent during the next few months. The jobless rate in Utah in September reached 8.7 percent compared w ith 5.9 percent a year ago. totaled employment Nonagricultural 567,700 in September, down 900 jobs or 0.2 percent from September last year. Job losses in various basic industries are: mining 3.200; contract construction 2,300; manufacturing 3,400. Recent in interest rates are beginning to create some renewed interest in declines Utah's construction industry. The FHA and VA rate has been reduced to 121: percent and conventional mongage rates are also trekking imsome downward. Consequently, is in residential construction provement xpected by mid-- 983. During the first eight nonths of 1982, 4,966 residential building permits were issued in Utah, a decline of 28 percent. Over the same period, the value ol total building permit construction was $683 million, up 1.3 percent. Personal income in Utah in 1982 is forecast to reach $1 3,880 million, an increase of $ ,259 million or 10 percent above the 1981 level. Actual total personal income in 1982 was $12,621 million, an increase of 12.4 percent.

The U.S. economy is expected to remain sluggish in the fourth quarter following the minimal growth recorded in the past few months Business spending for capital goods continues to retrench as the capacity utilization rate in the nation's industries dropped to 69 percent. Despite the positive growth in real GNP beginning in the second quarter, inventory investment remains weak and some industries are still reducing stocks of 111 unsold goods. As production and sales continue to slump, the national unemployment rate reached 10.1 percent in September, the highest since 1941 The bleak environment hangs as a depressing cloud over consumer spending. Hopes for an economic recovery beginning in the first half of 1983 hinge heavily on consumers' willingness to borrow and buy. In addition to concern about job security, consumers seem to be adopting a reverse inflationary psychology. As interest rates fall and wage increases exceed the rale of inflation, consumers may delay purchases of durable goods hoping for more favorable financial terms. labor-marke- The current position and likely future trend of the American economy has become ihe central issue in political race across ihe nation. Events of the past year clearlv illustrate the difficulty and pain associated with reducing inflation and lowering interest rates. Falling interest rates, without credit controls, provide the most optimistic indication that the Administration's program is working. As we look to 1983, interest rates must continue to fall if an economic recovery is to develop. Interest rates are expected to further ease in the fourth quarter. Presently, the prime interest rate is at 12 percent, down from 16' : percent near the end of July and the Treasury Bill is about 7 Vi percent compared with 13 percent in early July.
