Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES . FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1959 , Page Three Utah Guardsmen To Train at Fort Ord, Calif. More than half the members of the 144th Evacuation Hospital, Utah National Guard, will train side by side this summer with regular personnel in the U. S. Army Hospital at Fort Ord, Cal., said Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General. Eighty:seven enlisted men, six officer candidate cadets and sev-eral officers of the Salt Lake City unit will train at Fort Ord for two weeks. Col. Joseph H. .Allen, com-mander of the 144th, said on the job training will coincide with summer encampment and field training for other units of the Guard. His unit will leave Salt Lake June 6 and return June 21. The Utah Guardsmen will work with active duty soldiers in similar jims. For instance, the first sergeant of the 144th will work with the first sergeant of an active hospital, and surgical assistants will work with Fort Ord assistants. During the first week they will observe the hospital work, and during the second week Utah Guardsmen will actually assist in the work. The 144th Evacuation Hospital will also confer with the Regu-lar Army's 12th Evacuation Hos-pital attached to the U. S. Army Hospital. The men who will train at Fort Ord will make up much of the 144th's surgical and medical sec-tions. Fifteen men will remain with artillery units of the Na-tional Guard during summer en-campment at Camp W. G. Wil-liams. Unemployment Law To Benefit Both Employer, Employee Changes made in the Utah unemployment compensation law which are scheduled to go into effect next month will benefit the steady worker, but will re-duce the duration of benefits for the casual or seasonal worker or the Worker with questionable at-tachment to the labor force. This was the conclusion made by the Utah Foundation, the pri-vate, governmental research or-ganization, in their analysis of thechanges in the unemployment compensation law made by the 1959 Utah Legislature. The new law will raise the maximum benefit entitlement period from 26 to 36 weeks for the steady worker but will re-duce the minimum period from 15 to 10 weeks for the seasonal or casual worker who is actually in the labor market only during certain months of the year. In general, individuals who nor-mally are employed 36 or more weeks during the year will bene-fit by the changes, while those who are employed less than 36 weeks will have their entitle-ment reduced by the new law. The increased benefit entitle-ment period, together with new maximum benefit of $40 per week which is also scheduled to go into effect next month under Utah's open end benefit formula will provide maximum benefits of $1,440 for the steady high-pai- d worker. This compares with maximum potential benefits of $1,014 under Utah's present law. Foundation analysts point out that other changes made in the law will 1) encourage individu-als to secure temporary or part- - time employment, 2) reduce un-- l employment benefits to persons with retirement income, 3) per-mit unemployed workers to at-tend training courses in order to acquire new skills, and 4) elimi-nate some inequities in comput-ing employers' tax rates. The report states that Utah employers have realized total tax savings of more than $64 million between 1947 and 1958 because of the adoption of experience rating. Last year the savings amounted to $6,363,942 or 1.41 per cent of the total wages sub- - ject to tne unemployment com-pensation tax. According to the Foundation report, the respective states have thus far been able to retain control over the unemployment compensation program and pre-scribe their own standards over benefit amounts and benefit en-titlement periods, despite numer-ous attempts to federalize the systems. The report notes that the tion of federal control over state unemployment systems is again an issue in the U. S. Congress. One proposal now under con-sideration would impose federal standards which would provide benefits considerably greater than those found in any state at the present time. For example, it would allow the casual or in-termittent employee to work 20 weeks and then be eligible for benefits during the remaining 32 weeks of the year. The Founda-tion study observes that "a ma-jor consideration in any change in unemployment benefit levels should be the effect that : such benefit payments will have on the incentive to seek and accept new employment." Kennecott Building Expected to Draw Wide Interest The new Kennecott Building which will go under construction in downtown Salt Lake City this fall will incorporate many mod-ern architectural innovations, according to B. Eugene Brazier, spokseman for the designing firm. Mr. Brazier predicted that the building will attract nationwide architectural interest. The de-signing firm is Ashton, Evans, and Brazier of Salt Lake City. The 17 story, $6,500,000 struc-ture will be built diagonally across the street from Temple Square. Completion is expected in mid-196- 1. It will be the largest and tall-est commercial building in the Utah capital city, according to Zions Securities Corp., builders. L. Peirce Brady, manager of the firm, said bids will be let soon to tear down the historic Templeton Building which has stood 69 years on the corner. The Zions Savings Branch of the Zion's First National Bank will move to the old Federal Reserve at State and South Temple while the new building is under con-struction. , ZCMI's store facilities will be expanded into the first three floors of the new skyscraper. Zions First National Bank will take up part of the first floor and basement on the corner. Kennecott Copper Corp. will occupy 75,000 square feet of the upper offices, consolidating the downtown offices into one loca-tion. Mr. Brazier said the new build-ing will be of contemporary de-sign, fire and earthquake proof and. faced with architectural stone and insulated curtain wall panels sheathed in copper. Construction on the building is expected to get under way this fall, probably in October. . Main and South Temple has been rich in historical impor-tance ever since the first pio-neers entered the Salt Lake val-ley back in 1847. First building of any importance to go up on the corner was a colonial style mansion built by Apostle Ezra Taft Benson, grandfather of Sec-retary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. The home was built at a cost of about $12,000 and the Bensons lived in it for six or seven years. Daniel H. Wells, counselor to Brigham Young, and one time mayor of Salt Lake City bought the home in 1862. It was again sold in the 1880's for commer-cial property. The Templeton Building was completed in 1890. Zions Savings Bank occupied the ground floor when it was opened. The 70-roo- m Templeton Hotel was located in the upper stories. The building was later converted into an of-fice building. 18 Beauties Vie For Dairy Title Eighteen milk-drinkin- g beau-ties fill compete in the finals of the Salt Lake County Dairy Princess competition June 19, it was announced Wednesday by Dale P.

New Drugs Open Opportunity for Utah's Pharmacists The vital role of the nation's pharmacists in supplying tech-nical information to the medical profession about new life saving prescription drugs was outlined Monday for the Utah Pharma-ceutical Assn. W. M. Simpson, western sales manager of American Cyanamid Co.'s Lederle Laboratories Divi-sion, told the Utah pharmacists meeting in Hotel Utah that phar-macy must become "the physi-cian's best and most convenient product reference source." The flow of potent new drugs from the laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry added hundreds of weapons to the phy-sician's arsenal of health. He added that this has given the pharmacists an opportunity and a responsibility to help the physicans advance modern ther-apy by providing detailed tech-nical information about these drugs in response to physicans' inquiries. Mr. Simpson said "this is a function which pharmacists in every town and village are best able to handle." He added that "ultimately pharmacy will be judged by how well it handles this challenge." Reporting on the findings of a Pharmacists' Professional Clin-ic sponsored by his company an-nually, Mr. Simpson discussed the specific technical data that must be as familiar to the phar-macist as it is to the physician: illness for which a drug is used, tis strength, the dosage forms in which it is available, precau-tions about its use, its chemical composition and the recommend-ed dosage. Mr. Simpson also discussed some of the specific methods the pharmacists can use in their own stores to increase their effective-ness in supplying data when a physician calls for it. The four day meet ended on Wednesday after hearing ad-dresses by other representatives of pharmaceutical firms and ed-ucators. Utahns to Witness Air Drop Saturday Utahns will have a chance to see combined military operation of the Army, Air Force and Utah National Guard in a mock as-sault planned for Tooele Ord-nac- e Depot on Governor's Day, June 13. The exercise will begin about 8:40 a.m. with an air drop from about 1000 feet of 100 artillery-men of the 101st Airborne Divi-sion from Ft. Campbell, Ky. Also dropped will be 50,000 pounds of heavy equipment, including five howitzers, five ton trucks and two jeeps. Airlifting men and equipment to the drop zone will be 16 Air Force reserve troop carrier C-1- 19 Packet aircraft from the 733rd Troop Carrier Squadron at Hill AFB plus troop carrier squad-rons from California, Oregon and Washington. vThe operation, called Utah Eagle Nr. 2, and open to the pub-lic, will conclude with the as-sault on TOD beginning at 9:40 a.m. Aggressor forces, deployed earlier on the ground, will be 16 XI Corps artillery troops of the Utah National Guard. Defending forces will be other paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division who will be placed on the ground prior to the air drop. The exercise will end before noon. If strong winds prevent the morning jump the operation will be postponed six hours. . Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General, said the tactical problem concerns aggres-sor forces attempting to capture the ordance depot. To turn the tide, defending forces call on the C-1- 19 to drop troops and artillery assistance. Seven Globemaster transports will airlift the 101st troops from Ft. Campbell to Hill AFB earlier this week. The troops will biv-ouac and spend two days getting their equipment in shape for the take off at 7:50 a.m. June 13. Consider your lady's taste!

Phillips of San Francisco, CARE director for California, Nevada and Utah. Mr. Phillips spoke of the trag-edy of the Tibetans forced to flee their homeland when Com-munist Chinese troops forceably put down opposition. These refu-gees are daily crowding into In-dia and are in desperate need of food, medicine and other emer-gency supplies. CARE has made an initial food distribution to Tibetan refugees in camps at Tezpur and Missa-mar- i, Assam, India, which con-- ! sisted of 54,800 pounds of rice, flour, lentils, salt, sugar, pota-toes and cooking oil. This was the first food relief to reach the camps. Working in cooperation on this project with CARE is the Central Relief Committee formed by private citizens of India., |
