Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES Governors Urged To Move Fast To Aid Jobeiess Under New Act Labor Secretary Peter J. Brennan urged state governors to act swiftly to provide aid for the nations unemployed under emergency legislation. In a telegram to the governors, he said, Before Congress adjourns we expect that authorization and appropriation legislation wil lbe enacted for the following programs: Emergency Unemployment ). Compensation Act of 1974 (EU-CA- Special Unemployment Assistance Program (SUAP). An expanded Public Service Employment (PSE) program. EUCA would provide jobless persons who have exhausted with the Secretary of Labor to administer the new benefits. The earilest time benefits could be paid would be the week starting Dec. 23, 1974. In the obs area, Brennan said the Administration immediately expects to request an additional $1 billion Congressional appropriation under the new public service employment leg- islation. These funds, he said, will allow for a significant expansion of public service employment op- portunities throughout the nation. Approximately SI billion has already been granted to prime sponsors for public service jobs for the unemployed in areas with their rights to regular and ex- jobless rates of 6.5 percent or tended unemployment insurance more under the Comprehensive (UI) benefits with an additional Employment and Training Act, 50 percent of their regular bene(CETA). fit entitlement up to a maximum New PSE funds and existing of 13 weeks.

Nagel. vetNagel, 37, a twelve-yea- r eran of the Division and its chief of law enforcement the past three years, graduated from the Academy last week. I think the courses, such as law, crime scene search and the forensic sciences, are just as applicable, from a law enforcement standpoint, for me as they are for a metropolitan area policemen, Nagel said. The management and training courses were particularly helpful to me; in fact, I would say they are the most important part of this program from my standpoint. Naeel also said that the association with the other policemen is a facet of the program that cant be overlooked. The bull sessions we held were very interesting. I am finding that even though we come from different areas our Droblems are essentially the the same. Each man attending the NA is exposed to courses in the man- sciences, behavioral sciences, and forensic sciences, as well a clawork in law, arts, and law enforcement arts. There are also a number of elective coursese available. A total of from 14 to 16 hours of undergraduate credit is obtainable agement education- -communications through the University of Vir- ginia for those completing the courses. Attendees also participate in a rigorous physical training program. Nagel is now a member of the National Academy Associates, an organization of NA graduates, over 5,000 of whom are still active in law enforcement and form a worldwide network of highly trained police personnel, nmlcoyo srdlu shrdlu srdlu sh serves in an advisory capacity to Computerized Billing the Board and Director of the Division of Family Services, and System For Range Use makes recommendations regardA new computerized billing reing alternative services and system for range users on Bursources. alternative to current eau of Land Management-administere- d efforts, and information pronational resource lands in Utah will begin in January, grams.

Utah Symphony Truck: A New Kind Of Tune-U- p Theres an important member of the Utah Symphony Orchestra that never gets a name in the program or even a smattering of applause. It weighs two and a half tons, measures out at 20 feet and travels 16,000 miles ach year, and takes two men to help it perform. The Utah Symphony van and drivers Harold Gottfredson (trombone) and Charles Ecken-rod- e (tuba) never miss a concert. This season, in such punctuality will mean an 825-mijaunt without a rest for the three of them, with Harold and Charlie alternating at the wheel, when the Utah Symphony appears in Los Angeles. You should try to sleep in the back seat, said Harold. We should string a hammock in back. Gottfredson and Eckcnrode, members of the both full-tim- e Symphony, have sacrificed extra sleep and relaxed meals for years three for Harold, four for Charlie to guide a truckful of harps, string basses, kettle drums, stage risers, and, on extended trips, most of the other instruments to auditoriums and concert halls all over the Western U.S. It wasnt unusual last week when they packed the truck the night before and rose at 7 a.m. to drive it to South High in Salt Lake City for a 9:30 a.m. concert. A couple of weeks before, in a Smithfield Logan appearance, they left the Symphonys rehearsal hall in the truck at 5:45 a.m., and returned at 4 that afternoon. And, while the rest of the musicians ate comfortably between the Smithfield and Logan performances, Gottfredson and Eckenrode grabbed a quick hamburger. The truck cant keep pace with the bus. The tires, and drivers, get plenty of wear. Unlike many orchestras, the Utah Symphony does not curl snugly in a central concert hall. In fact, the hall that hosts its subscription concerts the Salt Lake Tabernacle is on loan, without charge, from the LDS Church. The Utah Symphony considers itself a re mid-Januar- le -- y, gional orchestra, with audiences hundreds of miles apart, and the truck gets a lot of road work. Sometimes well appear in Los Angeles, or in Spokane at the Worlds Fair, said Gott- fredson, and sometimes well play to the entire population of a town like Loa, Utah (about 300) and three or four hundred others who came in from nowhere to hear us. Sometimes well drive interstate freeways, and sometimes well get back country roads and hold our breath most of the way. The truck carries valuable instruments can cost cargo more than $5,000 each. A tuba case alone, Eckenrode said, can cost $250, and string bass cases cost three and four times that. The cases are firmly lashed to the trucks wals and floor during trips, but the instruments inside still are threatened by sudden temperature changes. A 20 or drop overnight can crack the glue fusing wood or metal parts, or split or warp the wood itself. Thus, thanks to an orange propane heater that resembles a child's toy stove, the Symphony truck runs a temperature. Gottfredson and Eckenrode spent part of their ten hours witli the truck each week tending the stove. The Maestro (Symnhony Music Director and Conductor Maurice Abravanel) likes to keep the arrangement overall very tight and close, said Gottfredson, and now and then a string player moans about the lack of bowing room, or someone in the wodwinds wants to be clser t center stage. Somehow. he added, everyone is usually satisfied by concert time. Both musicians consider their ob rewarding, since it runs concurrent to their Symphony appearances and saves them from taking other work to make ends meet. And when you play at 90 high schools alone in one seasaid Gottfredson, son, you learn how to hustle. Now, he added, if only the truck could learn that lesson. 30-degr- ec 60-degr- ee Coiffures in Marie Antoinettes day included hairdos arranged like ships and other fantastic arrangements towering as much as three feet above the head!
