NO MATTER WHAT, IF YOU'VE JOINED THE PAYROLL SAVINGS PLAN WHERE VOUWRAt YOU CAN BE SURE THAT SOME OF YOUR PAYCHECK WILL The Utah Farmers Union Green Thumb program has received an expansion which results in the employment of 18 additional Senior workers in three new Utah Counties; Utah, Cache, and Box Elder. The additional Green Thumb funding is under the Older Americans Act. To qualify for employment both made and female applicants must be 55 years of age or older. Green Thumb cnrollees can work 3 days per week and earn $2.00 per hour. John Zupko, Utah State Green Thumb Director, said This expansion creates a work force in Utah of 98 workers operating in 10 counties Salt Lake, Weber, Carbon, Sanpete, Emery, DuSummit. chesne, Utah, Cache, and Box Elder. The Green Thumb program is now in its eihgth year in Utah, operating under sponsorship of the Utah Farmers Union organization. The additional modest income received from Green Thumb helps the workers to supplement their Social Security benefits and to acquire some cf the essentials necessary for better living conditions. The Green Thumb program in Utah has proven that people in the older age bracket do not want to be on public welfare, they much prefer working on a productive job if made available to them. Green Thumb provides the human resources with which rural America can rebuild itself. Utahs rural areas need the type of work force skills that Green Thumb provides to help keep Utah the nice place that it is to live. Utah Green Thumb Senior workers have completed many varied projects, these include construction of road-sid- e parks, conareas, camping building structing shelters, tables and stoves for public use, developing anl building of facilitie for water distribution, landscaping of public buildings, enlarging public Darks, installing various types of fencing, constructing expansion of public buildings such as museums, fire stations and hopitals. Lady Green Thumbers are working in a variety of community service assignments in museums, Senior citizens centers, libraries, rest homes, law enforcement agencies, and educational institutions.

Take the matter of energy. Many athletes feel they have special energy requirements. Well, an athlete can often use about 25 percent more energy than the average individual, but its the same old kind of energy, not something unique and different. ries faster. Fats are used by the body for what is known as low intensity exercise. Carbohydrates are used almost exclusively during heavy physical exertion and during endurance events. This clinches' the role of carbohydrates as a primary source of energy. Again, it is important to remember that the athlete will want to build up his carbohydrate store starting 2 to 3 days prior to the athletic event, not just the day of the game.
