Show Page Eight FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1971 Educational TV Satellite Over Utah in '73 Scheduled for Study E. F. A satellite designed to trans- mit educational and public broad casting television signals is now scheduled for a year long experiment over Utah in May of 1973. The intermountain states, including one third of the land area of the 48 contiguous states, now have areas without a TV signal of any kind. An ATS-- F satellite to be launched by NASA will be placed in a stationary orbit over the region to provide several signals. The signals will then be received on the ground via special equipment and then transmitted to homes, schools, community centers and other viewing areas. Eight western states are currently participating in the project, however, Utah is the only state which will be completely covered by the satellites signal footprint. The one year experiment is being sponsored and coordinated by the Federation of Rocky Mountain States. The hardware for the program the actual equipment and transmitting station, will be maintained by the Rocky Mountain Corporation for Public Broadit corporacasting. This tion is made up of a network of 10 public and-o- r educational TV stations. Broadcasts will originate at the corporations Denver station and will then be transmitted to the NASA ground station via cable. It will be sent up to the stationary satellite for transmission around the region. Programing, or in the terms of the space age, software, for the project will be the responsibility of several different educational agencies. Programs will run the range of interest. Some will be devoted to the education chilof young and dren. Other programs will be designed for use in the elementary and high school classrooms and other programs will be written for adult audiences. One spin off advantage of the project is the production of new programming, said Dan L. Keeler, media specialist for the Utah State Board of Education. Many of the programs produced for broadcast over the satellite system will subsequently be broadsast over the normal ETV systems.

In all, more than 500 different productions will be available at various times via the satellite's signal. The Rocky Mountain Satellite Educational Experiment is slated to last one year. Its purpose is to test the feasibility of using satellites to extend television signals to remote areas. The mountainous western section of the United States, with its many shadow areas where the ground based transmissions cannot be received, will make an excellent testing ground for the concept. After the year long test, the satellite will be moved to another stationary orbit over the sub continent of India. There it will serve in much the same capacity as over the U.S.; to bring television signals into remote areas where TV reception had not been possible or economical before. Judge. The appointment will be until the 1973 general election, when the new judge is expected to run for election to that post. Mr. Baldwin was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from the University of Utah College of Law in 1942 with a juris doctor degree.

Prepared by the Department of Health, Education and Welfares Office of Education, the guide tells how to establish high quality training programs in public or private schools or agencies. The booklet describes program objectives, the importance of an advisory committee, the selection of training facilities, and various aspects of household employment training programs, including staff training and evaluation. A course outline suggests a series of activities which would enable trainees to develop skills and concepts neded for initial and continued employment. The course outline incorporates basic instruction and skill training, including work experience.

Nielson, Bureau of Land Management state director for Utah. Of the addition, nearly 14,678 acres were transferred from the BLM to the Forest Service and become subject to all the Forest Service laws and regulations. Remaining lands involved are privately owned lands that now are within the enlarged Uintah National Forest. Economic Position Improves Slightly After '69 Decline Utahs, relative economic position among the fifty states improved slightly in 1970 after having declined badly during most of the 1960-7- 0 decade. This was the observation reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organiaztion, in an analy-si- st of personal income trends in Utah. According to the study, personal income in Utah last year was equal to $3,213 per capita, an amount 18 per cent below the U.S. average of $3,921 per capita. Utah ranked 38th among the 50 states by this measure. In the previous (1969) year, however, per capita income in Utah was nearly 20 per cent below the U.S. average and Utah ranked 41st in the 50 states. Foundation analysts point out that the 1970 experience marks the first reversal of an economic downtrend in Utah that began in 1962. At that time, per capita income in the Beehive State was only 9 per cent below the U. S. average and Utah ranked 29th among the 50 states. Between 1962 and 1969, Utahs relative economic position in the nation steadily declined and by 1969 only nine states (nearly all the southern states) ranked below Utah in per capita income. Total personal income in Utah during 1970 amounted to $3,416, 000,000. This represented an increase of $307 million or 9.9 per cent from that of the previous year. The nation as a whole reg istered a 7.1 per cent increase last year. The Foundation notes that inflation accounted for most of this rise. During 1970, the consumers price index climbed by 5.9 per cent. Government continues to be a dominating factor in the Utah economy. In 1970, government payments to individuals in Utah amounted to $1,054,000,000, or 30.8 per cent of total personal income from all sources. Ten years earlier, in 1960, personal income from government was $410 million, or 23.2 per cent of total income. Between 1960 and 1970, total personal income from government increased by 157 per cent. The Foundation report indicates that this compares with a 74 per cent income from private nonfarm sources, and a 41 per cent increase in agricultural income during the decade. Utah derives a substantially larger proportion of its personal income from government than does the nation as a whole. As indicated, nearly 31 per cent of Utahs personal income comes from direct government payment compared with only 23 per cent for the U.S. Manufacturing, on the other hand, constitutes the much smaller factor in the Utah economy than it does in the nation. Last year manufacturing wages were equal to 12 percent of total personal income in the state, compared to 20 per cent throughout the nation. 0FEC0L0GY - Water, Water Everywhere?
