Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1973 Moss Announces Seminar for Coal Safety Council Stresses Safety For Bike Riders on Highways The rapidly growing number of deaths and injuries resulting from bicycle accidents has made bicycle safety one of the nation's most serious problems, according to the Utah Safety Council. Bob Ingersoll, managing director of the Utah Safety Council, said that estimates indicate that last year nearly 1,100 persons were killed and nearly 50,000 injured in accidents involving bicycles. The 1972 fatality toll compares with 050 deaths in 1971, 820 in 1970 and 800 fatalities in 1969. The sharp increase in bike deaths and injuries is due in part to the fact that more and more Americans have taken to the streets and highways on bicycles. During the past 10 years, the Safety Council estimates, that the annual sale of bikes has grown by more than 100 per cent. Although many of the 67 million bicycles in use belong to adults, the majority of bicycle fatalities involve children under 14 years of age. A National Safety Council investigation of 4,000 bike accidents involving children up to 14 years old shows that more than 95 per cent of these accidents happened to boys and girls between the age of 6 and 14. The highest frequency rate for boys was at age 12 (14.5 per cent), while the highest rate for girls was at age eight (14.3 per cent). The study revealed that motor vehicle bicycle accidents account for only 12 per cent of all the accidents reviewed. By contrast, 45 per cent of the bike accidents resulted from the cyclists falling to the ground, not collisions with cars, trucks, other bicycles or fixed objects. There are a number of possible causes for these mishaps, including lack of adequate skill on the part of a youthful rider, being momentarily distracted or loss of balance in "a quick avoidance maneuver. More than 75 per cent of all bike accidents occur during the spring and summer months, or April through August. Other facts developed by the National Safety Councils investigation include: 29 per cent of the accidents occurred on Saturdays. Nearly one third of the accidents occurred on a street between intersections. Nearly 83 per cent of the accidents occurred during the day light hours, however, accidents . , 96 per cent of all reported Researchers Attempt To Store Electricity9 The feasibility of storing electrical power in large superconducting magnets for use in the periods of high load is being lyzed by researchers at the versity of Wisconsin. do not make a Win, under State Law your estate may be split up in a way that actually causes hardship to the veiy ones you want most to protect You can leave your estate to the individuals you wish provided you make a Will Do it now!

Moss, organizer of the Coal Seminar, said that Dr. E. E. Osborn, Director' of the Bureau of Mines, Washington, D. C., will be the principal speaker. Widespread and abundant, coal in Utah underlies perhaps 18 per cent of the state, and it is important for us in this energy crisis to understand fully the federal regulations covering the extraction of coal and the new methods of coal conversion now being considered. The seminar will include a panel discussion of the impact of the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969; assessment procedures, safety provisions or implementation. The afternoon session will be devoted to a discission of techniques for use of coal for power generation, gasification, in situ methods, and sulphur removal and the impact of gasification on the coal producers, capital requirements, the mining techniques and employment. The College of Mines and Mineral Industries of the University of Utah will be represented by Dr. Alex G. Oblad and Dr. Wendell H. Wiser. The Senator said, Utahs high BTU, low sulphur coal is an attractive fuel which could meet environmental emission standards; therefore, it is relevant that new techniques for use of coal be explored. Efficient, economic and environmentally acceptable means of storage are sought as a way of lessening requirements for new generating installations to meet growing demand, increasing the flexibility in planning power systems and improving their performance. The principal present method, pumped storage, uses generating machines as motors to pump water during slack demand periods to reservoirs at an elevation which is released for hydroelectric generation when demand is heavy.

Aller, local Ford Motor Co., representative, said that the equipment, a 1973 engine, transmission and air conditioner, is for instructional purpose to help bring the colleges auto meon chanics students Ford vehicle changes.' Last year, Ford Motor Co., gave automotive equipment to 621 schools and colleges in the United States. The donation also included the latest diagnostic and repair manuals and other instructional aid. Accepting the equipment for the college was Clair Thomson, division chairman of automotive trades. Others on hand were L. L. Smith, Utah State Board of Education and John Wilcox of The U.S. Department of Labor suspended the effective date of a requirement regulating farm worker exposure to pesticides. The emergency standard, scheduled to take effect last week, is being revised and wili be issued at a later date. The Department issued the original standard on May 1st. Among other things, the standard set time limits for into growing areas treated with certain chemicals. Seven crops and 21 pesticides were covered. In announcing the decision to suspend the effective date of the standard, Sec. John Stender said a number of organizations filed petitions to revise or revoke the emergency measure. A careful review suggested some modifications and clarifications seem necessary. Formal announcement of the Ford Motor Co. action was made in the Federal A snakes teeth are pointed Register.
