Show Wednesday, January 26, 1977 Page 5 Hankerings By Hank Louis The bearded boys who round-robinly write episodes of "Telemark Tales" oftentimes add to the recipe a teaspoon of hidden and hardly detectable detec-table between line plugs for White Pine Touring Center. In fact beneath each Nordic writer's name it weekly lies, the way a roll of spongy yellow foam lies sandwiched between a meaningful earth and a mummy-down sleeper. And then we read bi-weekly another piece of two column ten point, logo-ed atop by a photo of a quasivisual skier leaving blatant tracks through high pines and the word "Backcountry Skiing." The author of these powdery paragraphs, too, leaves his tracks behind him; and they are readable as a cartoon aeroplane's smoky skywriting. sky-writing. They spell Utah Powder Guides. Further along or further behind we find this head caricature after having presumably caught an edge on the bunny slope, feeling (and looking) stupid, skis air crossed, belly down-simple self-mockery. self-mockery. More often than not his story's about keeping those eye-catcher spoons up at one of his favorite mountains spread with snow frosting. Don't think he doesn't get a free pass or two. But really, one hasn't to turn the cover page if he need be convinced of both the omnipotent and omnipresent journalism self-plug. Why is it that the rambling rambunctious reporters of the Newspaper (and I'll bet anything they do it to that one, too) insist upon enshrining in bold their publication name? While others type-face with soft-sell French italic, these local newsgatherers brick or terra cotta lamp you over the head, repeatedly, reminding you they are no ordinary human beings, these. Now-have you guessed it? -this : is ; my freebie advertisement. See,' I can even, if I want; put the possessive adjective me in italics. Remember "Sam, What's a Poem, Sam?" Sam was poetpublisher Sam Hamill, whom the Kimball crew bought and brought up here to read and teach. To make a short story even shorter, shor-ter, he encouraged us to put out Park City's only locally-owned and -produced, and perhaps first-ever first-ever attempted, literary quarterly magazine. Well, Sam's color slide kept popping up often as morning toast in my back brain, and now my cog teeth have connected with Barbara Barry Quinn's cog gaps and it is rolling, Bob. It will be called Silver Vain and will first appear in the readers' and writers' world this spring. Already we've received some material, but we need much more: we need poems, plays, short fiction, interviews with literary figures, reviews, drawings, photographs-we will consider anything creative and printable. No thematic vein has been and probably never will be set. And, although we intend Silver Vain to always be a haven for unknown and sprouting writers, there is the very real possibility that we will receive contributions from "name" writers. You can print the world's best writing but without a "name" jumping off the cover , no one will ever buy, nor read it. We will, for now, pay in contributors' copies. Send your material to Silver Vain, P.O. Box 2366, Park City, Utah 84060.

Efficiency Said To Be Urgent Substantial portions of the program of state government gover-nment reorganization proposed by Utah's "Little Hoover" Commission a decade ago have been carried out, but the need for improvement in the efficiency efficien-cy of government operations is urgent today and will probably never end, according accor-ding to Utah Foundation, the private, non-profit public service agency. The idea of reorganizing state government to increase in-crease efficiency has been going on in the United States through most of the Twentieth Twen-tieth Century, but "many students of government feel that most or all of the attempts attem-pts to streamline government gover-nment have fallen considerably con-siderably short of their goal," the Foundation pointed poin-ted out in a research report released this week. "Government reorganization reorganiza-tion is a continuing process, however, and goes on in spite sp-ite ofor perhaps in large part because of-past failures. Continuing population growth, ongoing inflation, and rapidly expanding expan-ding developments in the science of management and the tools to make it work call for periodic revaluation of even, the most successful programs," the report noted. "Less successful effort ef-fort obviously stand in greater need of overhaul." Utah's Little Hoover Commission was created by the 1965 Utah Legislature and presented a printed report -of more than 300, pages, containing jn exce$sn j of 200 specific recommend dations, to a special legislative session early in 1966.

Utah government structure since the reorganization of 1941, although a number of important individual changes had been made in the interim. The stated aim of the Little Hoover reorganization proposals was to centralize executive authority in the office of the Governor, balancing this authority with increased accountability ac-countability by the state's chief executive. Boards and commissions were to be reduced to a minimum, and the Governor provided with a "cabinet" of high level officials of-ficials serving at his pleasure. In measuring accomplishments accom-plishments of the Little Hoover recommendations, the Foundation empahsized that the recommendations are not considered infallible. Utahns have decisively indicated in-dicated their rejection of some features of the Little Hoover philosophy. Most of the report's sweeping proposals for con-stitutional con-stitutional changes--elimination of the Board of Examiners, the State Tax Commission, and the constitutional con-stitutional elective offices of Attorney General, State Auditor, and State Treasurer, for example-have example-have not been implemented. In other areas concerning the structure of state government gover-nment and its fiscal management, the Foundation Foun-dation found substantial progress in carrying out the 1965-66 proposals. Noting that former Gover nor. Calvin L. Rampfon had .beecjosa, o.,the , Little, Hoover recommendations from their inception, the Foundation quoted the recently-retired Governor as estimating "75 per cent of the recommendations have been carried out." open at 800 fluffy omelettes tagels. lox & cream oiieese hot Danish coffee, juice At the Mountain OPEN DAILY 10 to 6 other hand. hud main street I jfl 1:30-6:00 Second hand merchandise onsignmeme Buy and Trade Paper rrlSow offering : NEW ' RECORDS AND TAPES The major accomplishment accomplish-ment has been in the grouping of divisions into a small number of major departments," Mr. Rampton siad. "This helps the Governor Gover-nor know what is going on...I feel that Utah state government gover-nment is now 'manageable,' whereas it was heading toward the point where it would not have been." Utah's newly-elected Gov enor Matheson has indicated his determination to carry on with the program of reorganization of state government to increase efficiency. ef-ficiency. He has proposed a continuing Commission of the Reorganization of State Government. This proposed body would differ from the Little Hoover Commission in that it would not seek a major one-time overhaul of government, but would continuously con-tinuously examine government govern-ment operations and report annually to pinpoint problem areas as they develop and recommend specific improvements. im-provements. The Foundation noted that authorities on government operation warn that result cannot be accurately measured in dollar savings and reduction of personnel, but are to be found in "long-term "long-term stability and more and better service for the tax dollar." The Little Hoover report noted that Utah state expenditures expen-ditures for the year ended June 30, 1965 were $317.8 million. Comparable expenditure expen-diture in the year ended June 30, 1976 was $908.9 million, more than 2.8 times the 1965 figure. When adjustments are made for inflation and population growth, however, the 11-year increase was only 28 per cent, an average of 2.26 per cent a year.
