Since the reports represent the activities of only two thirds of the states banking institutions a projection of this cash flow well exceeds the total amount of cash contributed by all business and industrial salaries within the state during 1972 with the exception of farm and self employed incomes. According to the Utah Employment Security Council, industry and business salaries totaled $2.49 billion. The volume of dollars contributed to the states personal and corporate growth through loans and interest paid to depositors as reported by the responding banks is more than two thirds of the UESC figure. The Utah Bankers Association members reported over 10,000 mortgage loans totaling $277.7 million for the purchase of con- - Program Successful For Disadvantaged Students in Utah The average growth in reading skills jumped even more than the growth in mathematics. During the same 9 month period the student growth in reading was 12.6 months, said Dr. Eldredge. He indicated this new growth was almost double what the student average had been before entering the Title I supported program. During the 1972 fiscal year, 12,284 students participated in Title I programs in the forty school districts of Utah. Each district targeted its programs at students it identified as being educationally disadvantaged under the definition provided by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Each local school district received, in addition to regular state funding nearly $149 in federal support for each student who met the federal requirements. Those requirements are designed to determine which students educational programs are adversely affecetd by poverty, deprivation, physical or mental handicaps, isolation, and other detrimental conditions. struction of residential property. In excess of 47,000 commercial and agricultural loans were made totaling $780 million. Nearly 12,000 consumer loans totaled $385 million. Nearly $40 Million was made available in some 2,000 small business loans. Savings account depositors received some $33 million in interest payments. , State and local governments also shared in the benefits from available bank funds with $5 million in tax anticipation loans and a whopping $2 million in interest on time deposits with Utah banks. Mountain Bell Feels T roubles from Builders During Warm Weather Five telephone cables were cut at several locations in the Salt Lake City area last week, by contractors taking advant age of warm weather to begin construction. Telephone service to 1000 customers were interrupted for a short period of time while repair crews spliced the damaged cable according to Mountain Bell Public Relations Manager Ken O. Hill. He said the utility buries 80 per cent of its lines to protect them from damage by weather and to preserve the natural environment. But the subterranean cable is vulnerable to construction machinery and the digging of Mountain Bell has more than 4000 miles of underground telephone cable in Utah. Most of the cable damage is done between April and October when the weather is good and construction work is in full gear. If contractors or landowners will call repair service we will send someone out to trace the path of the cable so they can dig around it. Hill said. He said the cable cuts are continuing despite marking signs on cable routes and the pleas by Mountain Bell to both contractors and individuals. Statewide, 268 under ground cables were cut last year at a cost' of $47,240 to repair. The telephone comapny billed repair Costs to those responsible for the cable damage. Hill said the real costs, however, were borne by businesses and residences who were ..without phone service for hours. sub-surfa- ce Utah State Board of Education sponsored programs targeted at the educationally disadvantaged children have been quite successful in the past fiscal year, according to Dr. Lloyd Eldredge, Director of Title I ESEA programs for the Board.

The railroad movement began in May, 1872, in St. lxmis. During its first meeting an association of railroad superintendents formed a permanent organization which became successively the Time Table Convention, the General Time Convention, the American Railway Association, and finally the Association of American Railroads. After years of intensive effort the General Time Convention at Chicago on Oct. 11, 1883, overwhelmingly voted adoption of Standard Time and issued a notice directing that all railway clocks ggoverning train operation be set to the new standard at exactly 12 oclock noon, Sunday, Nov. 18, 1883. Dubbed the day of two noons, it was a significant milepost of progress in America. The plan adopted provided for four times zones in the United States Eastern, Central, Mounbased tain and Picific Times on mean sun time the 75th, upon 120th meridians and 105th 90th, west of Greenwich. These four meridians are nearly on the longitudes of Philadelphia, Memphis, Denver and Fresno. In the eastern part of each time zone there was a noon based upon sun time; then timepieces were set back from 1 to 30 minutes to the new Standard Time, so that there was another noon when Standard Time in the community reached 12 o'clock.

However, Santa Fe Railway points out, few commuziities using railroad time the difference often was more than 29 minutes. In eastern Georgia, where Savannah time was used, there was a 44 minute gap between the old and new time. Detailed instructions and recommendations were issued for adjustment of railroad timepieces to the new standard. Similar information was furnished public officials, since success of the plan was' largely dependent upon cooperation of all communities in adopting the time. The American people soon accepted Standard Time and gradually spread to other lands. Prior to Nov. 18, 1883, the only time" that existed was local or sun time. Based upon transit of the sun across the meridian, local time varied in the latitude of Boston, Chicago and Salt Lake City nearly one minute for every 13 miles or one second for each 1140 feet of longitude. In the San Francisco Bay area sun time differs about 30 seconds between the two ends of the San Francisco Bridge. Thus, true sun time was never observed at all points in the country. To have done so would have led to unending confusion because the longitudinal variation is constant. Moreover, owing to the eccentricity of the earths orbit, there is a seasonal variation of several minutes, so that exact sun time at a given point on the earths surface in January will not correspond to exact sun time at the same location in April or August or November. It is an interesting fact that the method of reckoning time instituted by the railroads Nov. 18, 1888, was put into effect without federal legislation of any sort. Although adopted and used by the federal government and the states throughout the country, it was not until 35 years later on March 19, 1918, during the World War I, that Congress then passed what is known as the A . 10,500 Ions deadweight was assembled in four days, 15.5 hours.
