Show lake THE SALT TlMtb FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1974 Two Utah Chamber Executives Elected Utah Safety Council Head Urges Small Craft Safety The small craft boating boom in America shows no sign in abating. In fact, the prospects of continued shortages of some fuels will most likely accelerate the sale and use of rowboats, sail craft, and low fuel consuming outboards. T. T. Pinder, Vice President of Public Safety, Utah Safety Council, warned that: As more new boat handlers take to the waters, and others move down to smaller crafts, the increased population and traffic on waterways increases the potential for accidents. Increased concern over the small craft safety problem is not without foundation. The last available statistics (1972) indicate a total of 1,437 deaths in boating accidents was reported to the U.S. Coast Guard. Included in this total were 1,318 drownings and 119 deaths from other causes. Nine out of ten of the drownings involved occupants of small boats (under 26 feet), and the principal cause of the accident was the fault of the operator. Pinder noted that: During this period of rapid change, it will take massive public education and the concerted efforts of all concerned to avoid an increase in small craft accidents and fatalities. We must try particularly to get our safety message across to the new and less experienced small craft operator. The Utah Safety Council outlines the following measures and suggestions to help get boatman off to a safer start: Never go out in a small boat unless you are thoroughly acquainted with the craft and can handle it in a sudden squall or storm. Learn to handle your boat by practicing near shore in shallow, smooth water. An experienced teacher is recommended. You can enroll in a boating safety couse offered by the U.S.C.G. auxiliary, Power Squadron, or Red Cross. Keep in mind that operation of rowboats, sailboats and motor craft are not similar. All boaters should become y, non-swimme- rs, im-Drop- Architectural Obstacle The need to remove many of architectural barriers to allow the handicapped access to both public and private buildings in a necessary item that must be looked at in the immediate future. This was the main message given to a group of handicapped citizens at a meeting held at the Utah Technical College. The handicapped have the same right of every other citizen to have access to public buildings and to own their own homes equipped for their special needs. P. H. Robertson founder of the Kenneth Scott Robertson Foundation for the Physical Handicapped said that at the present there are no architectural standards set up for the private building for the the ill ITBACKGROUND'ON BUSINESS !! i: ' ! i i ! ! r BUSINESS AIRPLANES AND THE FUEL CRISIS Did you know' that busisuzned on business flights ness aircraft' use an infinitesmade in personal aircraft. imal portion of our national energy supplies?

During 1972, total consumption of jet fuel by the 1,000 jets and 1,100 turboprop business aircraft registered 232.3 million gallons. This figure, . or 5.53 million barrels, represented 1.45 percent of the total 381.4 million barrels of jet fuel consumed in. 1972, as published by the American Petroleum Institute..

Ball, Executive of the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, was elected Second of the Mountain States Association, and Ronald Frandsen, Executive Secretary of the Brigham City Chamber of Commerce, was elected to the Board of Directors of the association at the annual meeting held in Billings, Montana. The group, comprised of Chamber Executives from Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, was organized in 1936 to work for the development of the Rocky Mountain region and the protection of the natural resources of the various states. The group meets annually and also hosts a Congressional Action Dinner in Washington, D.C. every April where Senators and Congressmen from the region meet together to discuss common problems. At the meeting in Billings, Salt Lake City was awarded the 1976 meeting. Mr. Ball will be installed as President at that session and will be the Program Chairman.

Always have U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices aboard for all passengers. For inexperienced swimmers and young children it would be wise to wear them at all times. Someone aboard every boat should be familiar with first-ai- d treatment and approved methods of artificial respiration. Know how you can count on each person in your boat. Among the more common boat hazards to watch for are overloading, improper loading, movement of passengers, horseplay, improper trip planning (weather, number of passengers, distance of trip, etc.), improper fueling procedures or storage, and failure to provide floatation devices. right-of-wa- The total of 162 million gallons, or 3.86 million barrels, is 16100ths of 1 per- cent of total gasoline con- sumption of 2.34 billion barrels in 1972, as .published by the American Petroleum Institute.

But, Chef Lee James of Salt Lake Citys Hotel Utah knows Report On Daylight Savings Use Standard Time Oct. To Feb. In an interim report to Con-- , gress, the U.S. Department of Transportation recommends that, as part of a continuing experiment, the nation observe daylight saving time for eight months for the year and standard time from the last Sunday in October 1974 through the last Sunday in February 1975. The Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973 placed the nation on year-roun- d daylight saving time a two-yefor trial (YRDST) period beginning January 6. 1974. It was designed to reduce electrical and other energy consumption through time management and indirectly reduce energy used by increased awareness and involvement in energy conservation by individuals, companies and public agencies. The interim report notes that the effects on energy consumption of YRDST since January 6, 1974, could not in general be reliably separated from effects of other changes occurring at the time. Such changes included limited fuel availability, speed limit reductions, Sunday gasoline station closings and volunar tary reduction1' in the use of lighting, heating and unnecessary travel. Consequently, the past winter season provided a poor basis for analysis and generalization, the report stated. The Departments study estimated the following specific effects of YRDST to date: YRDST probably resulted in an electrical energy saving of .75 to 1 percent this past winter. The predominant fuel saved was County Fair Complex when he paid 70 cents a pound for the top Rosette steer. The happy seller was Scott Nelson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Nelson. Seventy cents a pound was about double the days market price for comparable animals. The Hotel Utah also bought three lambs from the young exhibitors. The Hotel Utah was delighted to buy the animals not just because we got prize beef but because we want to encourage these young Utah stockmen to keep up the good work, to keep raising fine animals and to expect to make a profit for doing it, Chef James said. Young Nelson raised the 1,010 pound Hereford steer from a calf, riding his bicycle three miles a day to feed it.'

However, in March and April, when gasoline supplies were more available and it was warmer, YRDST may have increased gasoline use as much as 0.5 to 1 percent in some states over the amount forecasted under conditions of standard time. Judges for the contest were M. H. Atwood, executive vice president of Utah Bank and Trust; Mrs. Diana Sumsion, a former airline stewardess and former runner-u- p for Mrs. Montana; and Ben W.
