The four Utah were named state win-!- ? In 4-- H programs conducted by the Cooperative Extension Serv-ice, and were awarded trips to the congress. f' hi f K. t r ! L & Jerrold Merrill Kare! Anderson Robert Poll Mary Mortensen president of the Women's Ath-letic Association. Tractor Champion Skillful tractor care and eff-icient operation won statewide recognition for Jerrold Merrill, 16, of Smithfield, in, the 4-- H Tractor program. He received a congress trip from the Utah Oil Refining Company. As Cache County tractor cham-pion in 1956, Merrill plowed a steady path the last two . years to statewide 4-- H honors. His tractor project has been the highlight of the five-yea- r 4-- H career with the True Type Hol-stei- n Club. Merrill's club was judged the best 4-- H group in the county, re-ceiving trips to Salt Lake City and Fort Collins. He-- has worked nearly 1,500 hours on his tractor the last two years over the 30-ac- re family farm. He has served as president of the local 4-- H Club. Safety Winner Karel Ann Anderson, 18, of Spanish Fork, was named win-ner in the 4-- Safety program. Her congress trip was given by General Motors. Miss Anderson directed the Pep-ett- e 4-- Club members in collecting some 50 water samples for testing. Four samples showed contamination. She has prepared a safety check sheet that was sent to more than 900 first and second-yea- r 4-- H members, and another sheet that went to 1100 Utah County Small boy3 and girls crossing in front of the buses after school were a constant worry to this safety-minde- d teenager. So she saw to it that the dangerous situation was rectified. She also took the leadership in having a -- large irrigation ditch screened to prevent school children from falling in. This energetic has shown her "Fire Prevention in the Home" demonstration to more than 2,000 people. Robert Poll, 16, of Morgan, was named winner in the 4-- H Dairy program and awarded a trip to the congress by the Oliver Corporation. Poll has shown his cows in some 65 major dairy shows. His favorite cow, , Brampton Basie Juliet Jewel, went from top heifer honors at the Utah State Fair to third place as a senior yearling at the Pacific Interna-tional Show. In 1956, Poll took 13 head of Jersey to the Wyo-ming State Fair and won 14 blue ribbons, including one in every female class. Two years ago, young Poll won the Jersey calf that was pre-sented to the outstanding boy in the 4-- H Jersey Clubs. . He has been a four-tim- e pres-ident of the Blue Ribbon Dairy Club. Dress Revue Winner Mary Bell Mortenson, 18, of Ephraim, winner in the 4-- H Dress Revue, was awarded a trip to the congress by Simplicity Pattern Company. Miss Mortenson modeled a two-piec- e middy dress in a beau-tiful blue-green-bla- plaid wool. The blue crepe-line- d jacket had an inverted back pleat and soft side pleats fitting into band at the lower edge with a button-trimme- d half belt. Other details were a round collar and three-quarte- r push-u- p sleeves. The taffeta-line- d straight skirt had a back kick-plea- t. With the outfit she wore a royal blue shag felt hat, nylon gloves and black leather pumps, and carried a black purse. During her eight-yea- r clothing project, she has won county and state blue ribbons the past three years. As leader of the Heavenly Seven. 4-- H Club, she taught sew-ing to younger girls. She is also past president of the Merriettes 4-- H Club. Miss Mortensen is now major-ing in home economics education at Snow College, where she is Utah Highways .Show Progress Very soon legislators will be struggling with budgets for various state departments. The Road Commission is one' of the , largest of state functions from both a monetary standpoint and , number of employees. The biggest single source of its revenue is from the motor fuel tax, which comprises 60 of its income. Its second largest source of income is from Federal Aid from the Bureau of Public Roads. On the inter-state each $5.00 put up by the State is matched by $95.00 from the Federal Government. On the other systems of roads that get Federal Aid - the primary, secondary, and urban 'each $16.00 is matched by $74.00 by Uncle Sam. Fortun-ately enough, during the past biennium the Utah State Road Commission has ben able to supply (sufficient money to match Federal Aid. Many states have not been able to do this. On any funds diverted from the motor fuel tax the State looses corresponding matching funds from the Bu-reau of Public Roads. As an example, with the diversion of $50,000.00 from the motor t fuel tax, the State Road Commission would actually lose a $1 million construction job on the Interstate since the $50,000.00 would be matched with $950,000.00 from the Fed-eral Government. Other revenue comes from vehicle registra-tion (license plates). The bal-ance is miscellaneous such as reimbursment for work done by the Road Commission for cities and counties, and their proportionate share of Federal Aid for secondary projects. Funds from other federal are also included in this category. With the opening of final bids for the year on December 23, the total for construction projects opened reached $31.5 million ac-cording to officials from the State Road Cmmission. This is a new high for the State. The amount on bid openings last year was $19.5 million. The state hopes to have the figure over the $40 million mark during 1959. This will depend upon the availability of funds, however. The total mileage on these projects, if placed end to end, would stretch across the whole state from north to south since this figure reached 493 miles. The state handled 98 projects during its bid openings for 1958. This year marked a big start on the Interstate with the com-pletion of the first project on the system, the Beck Street Overpass. Some 15 projects had their beginning, and these bids amounted to almost $13.5 mil-lion for the Interstate. The-balanc-e of the funds of an amount of $18 million, was therefore expended on the other systems around the state; the primary, secondary, and urban, as well as those jobs that use state funds only. Commissioners have set up a long-rang- e financial guide to aid in future programming on all state road systems. As part of the plan, three basic concepts were established as the basis of programming of annual construction. For the period ending November 30, the state has held a total of 33 informational meetings and hearings as part of their program to make the public a part of their road-buildin- g decisions. They involved some 550 miles of highway routing' and were attended by over 6,000 people. According to the Bureau of Public Roads, est-imates on a national basis, each $1 million of highway construction requires on the average of 15,000 barrels of cement, 240 tons of structural steel, 195 tons of reinforcing steel, 1,567 tons of bitumens mainly asphalt paving and 593 tons of concrete pipe. mm more on K --MORE 100's - 1000's Of On KMUR's DOWN BEAT SHOW It's 'Family Fun Time' AH The Time On OIUR PLAY "Dilly Dollars" "WORD JAZZ" "DOLLAR'S ON DOWN BEAT" wn d U U LI UJ o 100's 1000's OF NEW 45's - EP's & LP Records Every MONTH wis On Name It & Win It usn ri 0 0 e Oh K-MO-RE Tito n K M I!
