Show Page Two Moss THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1971 Co-spons- ors Would-B- e to Protect Businessmen Bill Senator Frank E. Moss has announced he has joined Senator Vance Hartke of Indiana in cosponsoring a bill to provide the regulation of business franchise disclosures to protect small businessmen from unscruplous franchise organizations. Moss said that the franchise business is growing at an rate and that today there are more than 40,000 franchises that did not exist just five years ago. The Franchise Fair Disclosure Act is designed to provide the standard procedure for state and local governments to deal with franchise organizations. These Senators said that although franchising as a marketing tool is not an entirely new method on the American financial stage, that the sporatic growth the industry has experienced is. ever-increasi- ng The year 1972 marks the 175th anniversary The bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission to review all applications for registration to determine if the franchiser has acted in good faith in disclosing the facts to small businessmen that relate directly or indirectly ot the franchised operation. Registration would also act as a means for collecting statistical information on franchising in the United States. We intend for this bill to protect the would be businessmen who often invest their entire savings in a business they believed was sound only to find out later they were not given all the facts. The bill requires franchisers to file a discourse statement with the Federal Trade Commission that would be made available to aspiring businessmen.

Brazil. Local Benefactor Sponsors Concert Dean E. Eggertsen, erstwhile whose recent substantial gifts have established him as an enthusiastic patron of the arts, has agreed to sponsor two of the Utah Symphonys subscription concerts this season. The announcement was made by Wendell J, Ashton, president of the Utah Symphony Board. The first of the two Eggertsen sponsored concerts was the Sym- composer-conduct- or conphonys orchestral-chorcert on December 10 of Arthur al Honeggers King David featuring the Utah Civic Chorale and soloists. The second will be the first Utah Symphony performance of Johann Sebastian Bachs monumental High Mass in B Minor on Friday, March 31. Mr. Ashton noted that the March 31 concert is nominally sponsored by the S. B. Eggertsen Foundation which is administered by Dean E. Eggertsen. The new concert sponsorship program introduced last month by the Utah Symphony, according to Mr. Ashton, underscores the need to increase funding of the Orchestra and at the same time appropriately acknowledge the vital support of the Symphonys larger benefactors. Mr. Ashton explained that even if we sold every seat for every Tabernacle concert, the ticket revenues would still not cover the entire cost. Our sponsors are helping assure the continuation of these and other concerts through their generous gifts. It was Dean E. Eggertsens substantial contribution last year that tipped the scale and led to the final decision of Utah Symphony officials to undertake the Orchestras five week, 24 concert tour of Latin America. Dean Eggertsen originally selected a career as a symphony conductor and as a musicologist. He gained international fame both as a conductor and as an authority on Italian baroque music. He made his conducting debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1951. Among other successful New York conducting appearances, he was one of the conductors who replaced Arturo Toscanini after that Maestros retirement. He also conducted in Europe. Libert Mutual Insurance Co. Develops Car Bumper System Automotive engineers at Liberty Mutual Insurance Co. have developed a unique two stage hybrid car bumper system which prevents all but minor damage in car to car collisions at speeds up to 10 mph. Because this bumper prevents any costly damage to the car in front impacts of 10 mph, it goes beyond Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 215 effective for 1974 which only requires that safety related equipment remain operational. The result of more than ayear of testing bumpers, the two stage prototype uses rubber springs or crushable cylinders of aluminum honey comb to absorb impact energy. The rubber springs cushion the shock of low speed collisions below 6 mph without crushing the aluminum honeycomb. Higher speed impacts cause metal shear pins to break allowing the honeycomb to absorb a greater impact energy by crushing. The honeycomb, if crushed, must be replaced. The rubber springs can be used repeatedly. To replace the honeycomb after a collision the bumper face plate must be removed. The repair cost should be about $15 depending on local labor rates. That represents a considerable savigs over the average repair costs for a 5 mile per hour collision, which is usually more than $200. As a result of this unique two stage design concept, the bumper protects even a lightweight small car from damage when hit by a heavier car in a low speed collision below 6 mph, and it lessens the danger of injury to occupants of the smaller auto. An advantage the two stage bumper system offers is the possibility of reducing or preventing damage in collisions between cars of differing weights and bumper resiliency. AMERICAN of reducing the billion dollar figure American motorists pay in repair bills every year for low speed accidents. Christmas Seal Campaign Reaches 68 Percent of Coal Zelmo Beaty, chairman of the Utah Christmas Seal Campaign, reported that the 71 fund drive has reached the 68 percent mark. Contributions now total $58,-68The goal is $86,000. Mr. Beaty, high scoring center of the Utah Stars professional basketball team, said he was pleased with the progress of the Christmas Seal Campaign thus far. It is a good feeling to be on a winning team,. By attaining the fund goal we can help the Seal Association win a battle against respiratory disease. I want to thank the 25,000 people who have made their contribution already. I just ask those Utahns who have not answered their Christmas Seal setter to do so today. I know it is easy to procrastinate, but there is much to do to protect us from tuberculosis to chronic lung disease and to fight air pollution. Join me by giving a gift of health this Christmas Season. Its a matter of life and breath. 1. WINES COME OF AGE William E. Massee, who proudly proclaims that American wines have come of age some being more than equal to a significant number of Europe's best vintages.

Also re- cent innovations in the fermentation process perfected in our very own California wineries have resulted in domestic wines that are second to none. This coming of age, however, took quite some time. Though grapevines have flourished in the United States for centuries, the native grapes, at best, produced barely drinkable wine. And, despite Hie fact that experiments with cuttings from the great vineyards of Europe began about 100 years ago the initial results were dismally disappointing. Fortunately, over the years, American "Americanized varieties subjected to the most sophisticated grape fermentation are process in the world converted into a domestic bouquet thats almost too good to be true.
