Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1958 Page Thre S. L Chamber of Commerce Wins Army Times Award forts supporting the National Guard over the past several years. For its vigorous support of the aims and ideals of the National Guard the Salt Lake City Cham-ber of Commerce was awarded a "Good Neighbor" award this week by the Army Times, Wash-ington, D.C., weekly publication on the Armed Forces. The Army Times periodically presents the "Good Neighbor" award to business, industrial and civic organizations in recognition of their contribution to Armed Forces in the United States. This is the first time such an award has been made for assist-ance to the National Guard, ac-cording to Steve Tillman, Asso-ciate Editor, Army Times, who made the presentation. The citation read in part, for the full and impartial support of the Utah National Guard, creat-ing greater public understanding and confidence which are vital to the successful accomplsih-ment- s of the National Guard as a member of the Armed Forces." The award was accompanied by letters of endorsement and praise from Wilbur M. Brucker, Secretary of the Army, and Maj. Gen. Edgar C. Erickson, chief of the National Guard Bureau. Gen. Rich, Utah Adjutant Gen-eral, added his thanks to Army Times, stating that the Chamber of Commerce richly deserved the recognition for their tireless ef- - the-LE- ASED GRAPEVINE The Utah State Industrial Com-mission has given its support to legislation which would extend the benefit period for unem-ployed workers, reported Com-mission Chairman Otto Wiesley. The action would extend the period for unemployment bene-fits from 26 to 39 weeks but would decrease benefits for sea-sonal workers laid off work. The Salt Lake City Commis-sion this week approved promo-tion of two Salt Lake City fire men along with salary increases. Charles M. Owen, fireman sec-ond grade, was promoted to first grade with a salary increase from $375 a month to $395 and Rich-ard J. Berrett was promoted from fifth to fourth grade with a salary increase from $315 to $355 a month. A petition of Union Pacific Railroad Co. to close its crossing at 14th North and establishing a new crossing at 17th North was approved this week by the Salt Lake City Commission. Although the minimum re-quirements of professional and technical jobs in work with the blind involve considerable train-ing, experience and study, the $3,000-$4,40- 0 average annual salary level is equal to amounts paid industrial and commercial workers whose jobs require only a relatively small amount of background preparation, accord-ing to a report released by the American Foundation for the Blind. A record one million trout eggs recently taken from rain-bow spawning stock at the Utah Springville hatchery, according to the Utah Department of Fish and Game. Spokesmen said this record take of eggs at the Springville plant came at the peak produc-tion period for these fish and is the largest number ever taken in one day through the many years rainbow spawners have been reared at the hatcherv. They represent about one-fift- h of the total five million eggs ex-pected to come from the Spring-ville hatchery spawners this year. Another one million eggs are taken each year from a smaller stock of rainbow spawn-ers held at the Kamas hatchery. These are the only two of the 12 state fish hatcheries where spawners are held for egg pro-duction. They form a dependable source of early rainbow eggs, which are then processed and fish reared from them at the other of the twelve facilities. Utah's Legislative Council this week gave final approval to a report recommending only one specific tax change authoriza-tion of a one-ha- lf per cent sales tax on a county option basis for the fiscal relief of city govern-ments. Almost half the recom-mendations in the council's re-port were directed at financial problems of city governments. The Utah Liquor Commission has agreed to license a winery operation in southern Utah, Com-missioner Allan D. Johnson re-ported this week. The license would be issued, he said, as soon as Southern Utah Winery posts a $10,000 performance bond with the commission. It will be the only winery now in operation in the state. Salt Lake City Commission will open bids Jan. 8 on a sewer system to serve the present ad-ministration building at Salt Lake City Municipal Airport. The Commission authorized City Engineer Roy M. McLeese to call for bids. Preliminary esti-mate of costs of the construc-tion is $48,000. Road Commission Names Kennelly Resident Engineer State road officials named Ed-ward Kennelly as resident engi-neer for the new highway con-struction near Salt Lake City. Mr. Kennelly will be in charge of the project located on Inter-state Highway 15 from 1st South to 14th North in Salt Lake City. This work consists of grading, draining and filling 2.4 miles of Interstate Highway, the first contract let on the North-Sout- h Salt Lake Freeway. The job has been awarded to Gibbons and Reed Construction Co. of Salt Lake City. They have 350 working days to complete the construction for the Utah State Road Commission. Award was made to the firm as the low-est bidder after the opening of sealed bids on the project. Mr. Kennelly has been with the Road Commission for twelve years. He will make his head-quarters at 525 West 13th South. In his new assignment here, Mr. Kennelly will be in charge of construction, assisted by his crew of field technicians. They will closely supervise the job and work with the contractor to see that the work is done in accord-ance with the plans and specifi-c- a Lions and with the least incon-venience to residents in the area and the traveling public. If local citizens have problems or want further information on this project, they should contact i Mr. Kennelly. Some Classes at U. Should Appeal to Gals College coeds searching for a man would do well to enroll in the schools of engineering or letters and science. At least those two schools enroll the most male-student-s at the University of Utah, according to the fall quar-ter report of the registrar's of-fice. However, the gals had better stay out of letters and science if they don't want lots of competi-tion. Engineering, on the other hand, features both large quanti-ties of men and a scarcity of women. Other schools with fewer than 15 females are law, mines and pharmacy. In only two schools do the women out number the men. These are education and nursing. And in the total daytime en-rollment of 8,709, men outnum-ber women nearly three to one. Of course, 29 per cent of the men are already married. But then, so are 13 per cent of the coeds. And there are 109 fewer j husbands on campus than during fall quarter last year, & a now numhyi-i n vodka0 LAm maaMmMMMiaisttau f ., wa magna If ittf&MlBIl m moiaP if B $ VODKA til V .
