This is essential to carry out meaningful, viable research, extension and teaching in the classroom. He noted that emphasis is being placed on improving the quality of teaching at the University and meeting the needs of individual students. A good program in research is intimately related to quality teaching and extension because they must have the knowledge source to relate to. Priorities in Extension were discussed by Dr. J. Clark Ballard, USU vice president for extension. He said, "We will address ourselves more to people problems. People need to know more about how to live as well as how to make a living.

Traditional agricultural and home economics programs also will receive the benefit of broader knowledge support from perti- nent departments of the University. The Utah County officials in a workshop meeting held earlier at the University expressed concern that there has not been more involvement of the outlying counties in the development of currently proposed planning and zoning enabling legislation. Under leadership of M. Truman Bowler, Washington County Commissioner and president of Utah Association of Counties, they determined to become more involved. In business conducted by the county officials, William Dunn, Salt Lake County Commissioner and secretary treasurer, UAC, was appointed vice president of the association to fill the vacancy created upon election Nov. 7 of David Duncan, Weber county Treasurer, as Secretary of State. George L. Frost. Weber County Commissoner and board member, UAC, was appointed secretary treasurer of the association. MAKE YOUR SAVING SOLVENT.

Employment Security Administrator Curtis P. Harding said this week that more employers in Utah should be aware of the advantages available to them under this law. As of this month 27 Utah employers have applied for the Job Development Tax Credit. These employers have hired 36 Work Incentive (WIN) program participants. The law allows an employer to claim a bottom line tax credit of 20 per cent of the cash wage paid to employees during the first 12 months they work If they are hired through the WIN program. WIN is administered by the Department of Employment Security in Utah and is a federally funded program to help men and women on welfare (AFDC) prepare for employment and stay on the job after they are hired. Mr. Harding said that in addition to the 20 percent tax credit on wages, an employer can also be repaid for extra costs in the training of new employees under March of Dimes Aids Research In Newborn Health Services Leaders of American obstetrics, pediatrics, and family practice have announced the formation of a Committee on Perinatal Health to find ways to improve the outcome of pregnancy. The committee grew out of the need to develop guidelines and recommendations which can be used by physicians, hospital administrators, government agencies and others who provide care for pregnant women and newborn infants. Representatives of American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the American Medical Association met in Chicago recently at the invitation of the of National Foundation-Marc- h Dimes. The committee made plans to enlist the participation of other professional, public health and consumer groups in its work to upgrade the quality of maternal, fetal and newborn health services. nest disability is incurred in this interval than in any subsequent equal of time period. Three task forces within the committee will explore the best use of manpower, facilities, and funds to meet widely disparate needs for maternal and infant care in different parts of the world. Activities of the committee and its task forces are to be conducted by an executive committee consiting of Drs.- Sprague H. Gardiner, current president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, chairman, L. Stanley James, American Academy of Pediatrics; G. M. Ryan, Jr., American College of Obstetricians and Gynecolo-cistCharles Nyberg, American Academy of Family Physicians, and Dr. L. Joseph Butterfield, representing the American Medical Association. Each task force will be comprised of one representative of each of the four organizations which form the Committee on Perinatal Health, Representatives of nursing, hospital administration, and other professional organiaztions will also be invited to participate in the task forces. The National Foundation and March of Dimes will provide administrative and financial assist- ance for the committee. - s, The term perinatal refers to the period which includes the last part of pregnancy and the WIN. first four weeks after birth, Dr. Another provision of the law Arthur J.

More care and for day training lives are lost and more permn years facilities, when the facilities are for the use of WIN employees.
