The guests on Saturday Night With Sandy Gilmour were also concerned about the continued population affectwould have on the qualgrowth of Mr. Dickinin Utah. life ity son of ZPG argued that sooner or later zero population growth would have to exist. He believes that it will be less painful for individuals to voluntarily zero population growth now rather than later when world conditions demand it. Mrs. Peggy Stewart said, among other things, that smaller (two children) families produced less neurotic children. Dr. Chadwick, however, could not agree with such a statement because his research tended to show the opposite. Both Dr. Chadwick and Dr. Farrell Edwards agreed that proper resource allocation and population distribution coupled with our technological know-howill enable us to handle our countrys relatively slow population growth. Inviting at - home viewers questions is a customary part of Channel 4s public affairs show. During this particular show, viewers indicated a general concern with our national population growth, as well as a desire for more statistical information on our existing natural resources and the rate at which they are being consumed. self-impo- se w North Slope Borough Formation Three-YeBattle After Upheld ar Eskimos living on Alaskas remote North Slope finally have been victorious in their battle for the right to form their own local government, or borough. Judge Eben Lewis, of the Superior Court of the State of Alaska, in an order January 23, 1973, supported by a 21 page opinion, turned down a request by Mobil Oil Company and six other oil companies to three-year-o- ld invalidate the decision by residents of the North Slope and the Alaska Local Boundary Commission to incorporate the primitive area and to thus begin taxing the oil companies operations on the North Slope in order to meet their serious needs for municipal services. The Natives will now be permitted to continue setting up a council-forof government with powers of assessment and collection of taxes, powers to build and administer educational facilities, powers to plan land use, and to zone. There are no high schols, and no local regulation of the development of the vast, 56.5 million acre area. The oil companies have been exploring for oil and natural gas reserves since 1968. The reserves are estimated to have a value exceeding 90 billion dollars. In the oil companies suit against the Alaska Local Boundary Commission, the Arctic Slope Native Association, and the five incorporated cities on the North Slope, they argued that the companies would not benefit from, nor did they need, any of the planned municipal services, but that they would be called upon to pay most of the boroughs taxes. The oil field work . ers are not permanent residents they work in the bleak, cold region, which is the Eskimos homeland, on a rotating basis and are housed in luxury domi-toriat the Prudhoe Bay development site. The Natives have argued that they do not seek to tax the companies unreasonably, but that they seek only to require them to compensate the Eskimo population of the area in a small way for the extraction of valuable natural resources and the consequent impact on Eskimo life. Most North Slope residents still depend on a subsistence economy based on hunting, fishing, and whaling. Attorney David H. Getches (Director of the Native American Rights Fund of Boulder, Colorado), who represented the Eskimos said that: The Alaska es courts decision is a tremendous victory for Alaska Natives and al other Native Americans. It comes at a time when is seen as the key to of native culture survival the and societies. At last control of natural resources which are at the heart of Native culture can be regulated and developed under Native guidance. Furthermore, revenues desparately needed, especially for schools, can be raised. If the oil companies appeal the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court, the battle may stretch on for over a year longer and it will mean the Natives on the North Slope will continue to have to wait for the most basic kinds of municipal services available to almost all other Americans. self-determinat- ion Occupational Guide iFor Grads Announced The growth of our nations economy brings many changes in i With her thousands of acres of uninhibited land, Utah seems to be the last place anxious about population growth. According to the report of the Presidents Commission .on Population Growth and the American Future, the countrys population problem is not a major crisis, but it is something to be concerned about. Recently on Satr, urday Night With Sandy rehis guests Sandy and News to ABC an special sponded which examined the findings and recommendations of that report. The ABC special, Population: Boom or Doom? aired at 9:00 p.m.f and following the special at 10:00 on Sandys show, Joe Dickinson, President of the Utah Chapter of Zero Population Growth (ZPG); Peggy Stewart of the Utah Womens Caucus; Dr. Bruce Chadwick, professor of sociology at Brigham Young University; and Dr. Farrell Edwards, a professor of physics at Utah State University, expressed divergent views on the implications of population growth. According ' to the ABC News special, the report of the presidential commission noted a slow and steady decline in our national birth rate since colonial times. Nonetheless, our present growth rate of 1 means that by the year 2000, our present population of 210 million will have grown to 280 million. The commissions concern was not our ability to feed, clothe and house this population. Rath m THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1973 Cage Eight the employment outlook for college graduates. Elliott A. Bro-wa- r, Regional Director of the U. S. Department of Labors Bureau of Labor Statistics, suggests that college students and counselors keep abreast of these changes with a new guide to employment opportunities, the 1972-7Occupational Outlook for College Graduates. This guide, published by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, provides in one document descriptions of over 100 occupations which require a college education. It is designed to assist those who will be or are attending college in making career decisions. A more comprehensive guide to employment in the 1970s, the 1972-7- 3 Occupational Outlook Handbook, not only includes the outlook for jobs requiring a college education, but also includes the outlook for an additional 600 occupations and 30 industries requiring varying amounts of education and training. Mr. Browar suggested that these publications could make interesting and useful gifts. Students may find vacations a good time for career planning. Copies of these publications are available for immediate distribution. The Occupational Outlook for College Graduates, Bulletin No. 1730, sells for $2.00. The Occupational Outlook Handbook, Bulletin No. 1700, sells for $6.25. Mail orders should be addressed to the U. S.

Utah Gains $3 Million From Motion Picture Industry Utah spent two years cultivating the motion picture industry before it blossomed into a $3 million bouquet. And it promises to grow even bigger. Since October 1970, 10 motion pictures costing $12 million have been filmed either partially or totally in Utah, Hal Schlueter, special projects coordinator for the Utah Travel Council, reported recently. Of that, roughly 37 per cent, or $3,000,000, was spent in the state for lodging, food, labor, transportation and other expenses by the production companies. The most recent release with a s Utah setting was Robert Jeremiah Johnson, the a mountain man, filmed of saga near Redfords Sundance Ski Resort in Provo Canyon. Harry Never Holds, a James Coburn feature was filmed this summer in various Salt Lake City locations, while the television film, Birds of Prey, will be shown January 30 at 7:30 p.m. on CBS, Channel 5. The key to the movie industry in Utah is that we are a relatively unexposed location, Mr. Schlueter reported. We havent been seen in many films until just recently. Our time appears to have come. Mr. Schlueter cited the 1971 invitation by Governor Calvin Rampton to the film industry to visit Utah as the real start of the program. When the Governor made the invitation and the Director of Development Services. Milton Weilenmann, made sure it was carried out, things began to happen for Utah.

Television commercials alone meant $33,000 for Utah businesses, and the prospect for continued spending by Hollywood in Utah is bright with the recent announcement of another feature length film tentatively scheduled to start shooting January 22 in Southern Utah. This one stars Burt Reynolds and Candice Bergen in The Man Who Liked Cat Dancing. The film is budgeted at $2.5 Mr. Schlueter said. million, And could bring as much as $275,000 to Utah businesses.
