Has Salina Improved? Do the residents of Salina and Richfield feel their community has improved since 1975? According to Marven J Ogden, USU Extension Coordinator and County Agent, a team of researchers from the Utah State Universitys Sociology Department will be in these communities Monday, April 28, to answer this question and many more. The first report will be a luncheon meeting at noon at the Rodeway Inn, 68 South Main, Richfield. The second report will be a dinner meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the Branding Iron Inn, 34 North State, Salina. The team will present their findings from a community survey on resident attitudes, titled Better Communities for Utah, which was collected in early 1979 from a random sampling of community residents. The report will give the results on citizen reactions to such topics as : ( 1 ) desired population growth rate, (2) desired economic growth rate, (3) community satisfaction, (4) problem areas within the community, and (5) the willingness of residents td assist in problem solutions for their community. In addition, the results from the 1979 research project will be compared with a similar project conducted in Salina and Richfield in 1975. no-ho- st no-ho- ot GOING UNDERGROUND-Som- e the members of the Joint Legislate e Committee on Energy and Natural Resources board a boss buggy at the Southern Utah Fuel Co. mine for an underground mine tour.
