In the situation where everyone in the pool uses liis car in an equal amount of time there is, of course, no problem. The problem most often arises when one of the car pool participants does not share in the driving chores tind thus pays a regular fee. This, most likely, would not arise with school car pools. However, car pools involving dad might fall under this situation. To preserve insurance coverage (and parents' peace of minds) , the Institute points out, any a pool fee should not be more than the fair share of the gas, oil and general depreciation on the car. A simpler way for the passengers to reimburse the pool members is to give a gift sometime during the year to the drivers. This divorces the concept of fee from the privileges of riding in a car pool and leaves the insurance protection intact. Again, this more than likely would apply to the office car pool rather than one driven to school. However, simply not having to drive every day may serve as enough reimbursement in either situation. In the case of car pools involving children, the In? stitute stresses the importance of wearing seat belts not, only to protect them in the case of an accident but also to prevent the kind of children's antics that might distract the driver's attention. Once a car pool participant is convinced his regular auto insurance is valid, his next concern is the amount of coverage he has. He should consider bodily injury liability coverage with high limits, since this is what protects him against claims which others, including his pool passengers can bring against him after an accident. As an example, limits of $300,000$500,000 would provide up to $300,000 coverage for one injury in an accident with a $500,000 per accident limit. Medical payments is another important coverage. If written with limits of $1,000, each person in the car can receive up to $1,000 for medical expenses incurred within one year of an accident regardless of who is at fault. The Institute emphasizes that because the dollar limit applies to each passenger separately, there is no need to increase the limits in order to cover addiitonal , passengers. pool-share- non-shari- . ng Utah Genealogical Association Slates 3rd Annual Convention Milton Rubincam, Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists and Fellow of the National Geolagical Society, will be the featured speaker at the ihird annual convention of the Utah Genealogical Association on Sepetmber 15 at the University of Utah Student Union, Salt Lake City, Mr. Rubincam will receive the first annual Utah Genealogical Association award for his outstanding contribution to genealogical research.

LEASED GRHPEVIlUt What1 Tree is Good ? Ask State Arboretum When is a tree a valuable investment, and when is it a nuisance? How should homeowners decide which kinds of trees to plant in their yards? David E. Lofgren, director of the Utah State Arboretum, located on the University of Utah campus, says these are some of the recurring questions which have prompted the establishment of Arboretum Day an annual fall event to be launched this October to better acquaint the Utahns with the traits and functions of trees. Mr. Lofgren says the University campus is an excellent show case of trees from all parts of the world. Walking tour maps are available to interested persons and the Arboretum Guild sponsors lectures on campus. During the past year, 1,700 new trees have been planted on campus, giving the U a total of nearly 7,000 trees, about one for every three students. Mr. Labrum has compiled a list of trees thta are messy or subject to disease and insect infestation. They are English Hawthorn, Autumn Hawthorn, Black Locust, Box Elder, White Poplar, American and Siberian Elm and Cottonwood. Each type of tree has its own use. For instance, fruit trees are spectacular when blossoms are out in the spring, but very plain the rest of the year. An evergreen, on the other hand, has more restrained elegance year-round. Mr. Lofgren says homeowners should seek information about the size and characteristics oft trees from their nurseryman and then visit the Arborteum on the campus for a look at what their mature tree will look like. for consumer arbitration as a means of settling disputes between buyers and sellers. Disagreements are submitted to independent arbitrators, and both sides agree to abide by the decision. Arbitration programs have been established in 52 major cities and 27 more are scheduled to go into operation soon.

Jensen of the Uni- versity of Utah has been appointed supervisor of master planning for the Utah State Building Board.

County legal officers will seek a writ of prohibition to stop Sandy City from issuing building permits until flood control regulations are satisfied. County Attorney Carl Nemelka said that there appears to be complete legal authority to back up the county request. He announced the course of action after the county commissioners referred to him a request that action be taken against Sandy City. A film showing the attractions of Utah as a convention site was shown to Salt Lake businessmen and government officials at a sneak preview this week. The film will be shown to executives of national associations in a visit to Washington, D.C.
