Show Three Stations Are Projected - UTAH PRESS ASSOCIATION 467 EAST 3RD SOUTH SALT LAKE COT, UT 6111 City To Form Fire Department WEST VALLEY. Beginning Jan. 1, West Valley City will have its own fire department, Commissioner Renee Maekay announced yesterday (Wednesday). Citing economic factors as a major reason for the decision, Commissioner Maekay said a contractual agreement with the county for fire protection services will be terminated on Dec. 31. Further negotiations between West Valley and the county will be needed to resolve the status of two fire stations within the citys boundaries, City Fire Chief William Lukens said. Although specific details have not been finalized, Lukens said he hopes to establish a mutual aid agreement with the county for use of the 4100 South station. Use of the Beaver Street station for fire services is likely to be discontinued. Fire officials have known for some time that the facility is obsolete and probably will be used in the future by paramedic units.

Llewellyn said while its difficult to predict the percentage of registered voters who will go to the polls Tuesday, county officials w'ould consider a 30 percent turnout a good one under the circumstances. Figures from previous primaries show that the turnout is traditionally higher during a presidential election year. For comparison purposes, the election official cited the county's 43 percent primary turnout during the last presidential election year in 1976, compared to 24 percent in 1974 and 21 percent in 1978 Figures have dropped dramatically since since 1968, when 49 percent of the countys registered voters turned out to cast primary election ballots.

A bit of research substan- tiated that. The first use of commercial television was by WNBT, New York City, on July 1, 1941. About then we were getting involved with those idiots Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo, so delayed six years. Nevertheless, consider the persistence involved in pursuing a like a talking picture on a screen for 57 years. One of the developers was Philo Farnsworth, who drew on an Idaho high school blackboard an outline of how television could work. And, eventually, TV was did. Our source said, more correctly, that the zipper was a brainchild of and was actually devised in 1913. If memory serves us correctly, it wasnt til the 1930s that zippers came into common use. Egad! .Wouldnt it be a bore to button your trousers or skirt anymore? Nuclear energy - not to be confuswas foreed with atomic power cast in 1919 and came into being in 1965 - 46 years of development. The worlds first atomic submarine, the Nautilus, was launched 10 years earlier, and to a good deal of fanfare, you may recall. 1883 -- - -- The radio was described as a future marvel in 1890. And within five years, Marconi had developed a system of wireless telegraphy. But communication by voice over the radio w'ould several inventions, including the diode tube in 1904, before it would progress to w'hat we know today. And it wouldn't actually arrive on the scene til 1914. Even then it was several more years before the first crystal sets came Into American homes - so a quarter-centuror more was involved in the development. Would you believe fluorescent lighting would require 33 years from the time it was conceived til someone could push a switch and activate a fluorescent tube? Sketched as scientifically practical in 1901, it became a reality in,1934. Antibiotics, which came along in aw-ai- t time to save countless lives in the war-torworld of the 1940s, didnt happen overnight either. A researcher said in 1910 that such a medical miracle was possible - and 30 years later that forecast was realized. Frozen foods? We didnt know they existed til the late 40s. But a developer said in 1908 that man would be able to preserve almost any food by By 1923 the state of the art lacked only adequate packaging, transit and storage. n -- far-sight- flash-freezin- g y vel of the day -a half-centur- y in the making.

So many automobiles today have g automatic transmissions that is reserved mostly for the young who want to be different. But inventors worked from 1930 til 1946 devising clutchless shifting - 16 years of patient research.

But how much sweat and toil occupied those 16 -- stick-shiftin- -- Somehow we think of photography as a rather recent development.
