Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, Utah Power & Light Applies To Utah PSC For 1 6 Rate Increase Utah Power & Light Co. today applied to the Public Service Commission of Utah for permission to raise its electric rates to recover and flow through higher costs already incurred. The application is not one seeking to increase allowable earnings, but merely to pass through cost increases based on 1974 investment in plant, and to recover increased costs of fuel and purchased power. The increase would apply to all general service classes of customers with residential customers rates about 16 percent (or about $2.50 per month) for the average residential customer. The maximum increase to any one class of customer would be 16.55 percent, the minimum increase 11.8 percent (to public street and highway lighting). In its application today, the utility said that the increase is necessary to recover higher costs in-creai- ng already incurred as a result of actual financing rates on 1974 construction which were higher than those allowed by the commission in the late rate case, increased costs of coal brought about by recent wage settlements negotiated by the United Mine Workers, and other increased costs allocable to electric service Its Carbon County Hosts Statehood Day Ceremonies The annual Statehood Day celebration will be held Januto exary 4 at Price-Helpplore the theme of Coal Minings Contribution to Utah, according to Melvin T.

Also affecting costs is the November, 1974, failure of the companys 330,000 kilowatt, third unit and the cost of replacement power from neighboring utilities. In December of 1973, the utility applied for rate relief and was granted an average increase of 16.7 percent effective in September. The firms president, E. A. Hunter, said the company has exercised the most stringent control on rising costs, and that the firm would like to avoid increasing the rates, but, we believe the alternatives would not be in the public interest. The alternatives would be deteriorating service, numerous service interruptions and ultimately, curtailment of our construction schedule leading to inability to provide connection to new homes, apartments and businesses. Utah Power & Light Co. will continue to make every effort to hold rising costs to a minimum. Hunter said. Utah Power, which serves about 276,000 customers in Utah, estimates that the increase in rates wil 1 produce additional revenue of approximately $20. 3 million in 1975. 2-D- JANUARY . a face that say Page Three Globetrotters - A Timeless Act Appear In Salt Lake Jan. 13-1- 4 -- a hundred funny things a minute. It twists, turns, contorts, and explodes, just like the dozen assorted basketball shots developed by its owner. From his face has beamed a broad smile thats wrapped itself around the world. Its that, Aw, Ref, you cant mean me? look thats tickled funnybones, warmed hearts, and generally lifted the spirits of millions of people everywhere. Its the face of Meadowlark Lemon, Harlem Globetrotter and acclaimed 'Clown Prince of Basketball. And he brings his magical brand of mirth to Salt Lake with appearances at the Salt Palace on January 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. For Meadowlark, it will be the umpteen zillionth time hes performed the role he loves best: that of an entertainer. As he says it, I want to clown and make people laugh, to make them happy. I feel I was made tn entertain people. And entertain them he does as he and his zany of the court whip through routines as traditional as Sweet Gcorg:a Brown and as timeless as laughter itself. Its a show Utahn-have loved, and this year will be no different. Tickets are available at the Salt Palace and ZCMI, and to accommodate the great family interest in the show, ticket prices have been maintained at $3. S4, and $5. Many who see the merry, mobile face of Meadowlark the entertainer fail to recognize the deep dedication to achieve a goal that has guided him to success. In the mid 1950s he was a teenager with a dream a dream fired by watching the flickering forms of the Harlem Globetrotters on the movie screen. "It wasn't something I merely wanted to do. he says. "I had to play for the Trotters." And so began the practice, practice, and more practice that is the price paid by those who are the very best. Meadowlark Lemon was no overnight success. Many hours of work went into developing those fantastic shots with their matching facial n expressions. Many years of went into earning him the title that is so approDriate: Clown Prince of Basketball.

But the farmers who watched them in their infancy then, and the young enthusiastic crowds cf today roughly the same thing for their money.

His voice sounds like a ripsaw being scraped across an aluminum tennis raquet, and his large, limpid eyes can mirror both the innicence of a child and the outraged indignation of an old woman who has just spent her last dime on an overripe tomato.

BOB JONES BOB iHMS UaiVBisItg 1114 GREENVILLE. SOUTH CAROLINA For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Men today scoff at sin. But sin is real; it is universal; and it is quotation from Isaiah who said that he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (53:5). In Romans 10:13, Paul says that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Thq problem today is that not many people before have God; and, therefore, they do not call on Him. . John says (1:12), But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Paul asks, How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have nc-heard? And how shall without a preacher?' hear Then he explains, So then faith cometh by hearing, ar.fi hearing by the word of Gcd, and exclaims, How beautilul are the feet of th.ra tk.' " preach the gospel of peace . . . (Romans 10:14, 15, 17). personal. Although all have sinned, not all are guilty of the same sins. Isaiah says (53:6), All we like sheep have gone astray. Then he adds, We have turned every one to his own way. Thank God the verse does not end there. Guilty though we be, we may have freedom from the penalty of our guilt through Jesus Christ on Whom God hath laid the iniquity of us all. In other words, Jesus Christ was our Substitute. The wages of sin is death (Romans as sin hath 6:23). But even so unto death, reigned through grace reign might righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 5:21). Peter explains that Christ bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (I Peters 2:24).
