The conference is jointly sponsored by (the Women's Bureau of the U. jS. Department of Labor, the ' Utah State Industrial Commis-so- n and the Extension Division of ,the University of Utah, and opens Friday and continues to Saturday on the University campus. The conference was prompted by the fact that the women make up 30 per cent of the state's working force. According to Dr. Virginia L. Frobes, Dean of Women, "Deep seated and continuing shifts in the structure of American social life have brought radical change into the life of American women.

After a preview of the panels on the four major areas of Confer-ence interest and the luncheon, participants will be divided into discussion groups where prob-lems outlined can be discussed on an individual level.

There will be a conference registration fee of $3.50 which covers the breakfast, two lunch-eons, refreshment breaks, and all conference materials includ-ing a report of the proceedings. me span may mean that tor many women their prime role as mother and homemaker will re-quire less time and energy in their middle years. Yet there is need for a continuation of the sense of purpose and satisfaction which the responsibility and care of a family provides. To-day's women are seeking more significant ways to use time and energy for their own personal growth, their family's develop-ment, and the community's well being.", Because of these sociological changes the conference program will be geared to four major areas of women's interests, "Go-ing to Work," "Going Back to School," "Helping My Neighbor Through Volunteering," "Help-ing Myself Through Meaningful Leisure Time Activities." The Dowager Marchioness of Reading, a member of the Brit-ish Parliament and foremost au-thority on women as volunteers and workers, who will visit Utah as guest of President Belle S.

City officials also approved the appointment of Clinton P. Mott, Salt Lake City consulting engineer, to direct the study. He was asked to have a report ready for the commission within two and one half months. Emergency dredging measures designed to keep the Jordan! River within its banks until a full-scal- e enlargement program can be organized was under way this week under direction of Salt Lake County. County Commission Chairman W. G.

Granite School District Board of Education this week author-ized an addition to one school and construction of another after hearing there are 44,221 pupils in the district this year. A $30,325 deficit appropriation for publication of three proposed constitutional amendments on the November 6 ballot was authorized this week by the Board of Examiners. The action was taken after Atty. Gen. A. Pratt Kesler ruled that it is legal for the examiners to pay for the advertising of the proposed amendment in the state's 50 weekly newspapers and four dailies despite the fact the 1961 Legislature did not appro-priate funds for this purpose. Addition of some 23,886 acres of land, most of it privately owned, to the Wasatch National ' Forest in Utah was assured this week after unanimous approval by the U.S. Congress of a bill to annex the area. The lands are located in Davis and Morgan Counties. Utah's waterfowl season for 1962 will begin October 13 at noon and continue through De-cember 26, with shooting hours to be one-ha- lf hour before sun-rise to sunset each day except for November 3 when opening hour will be 8:00 a.m. to coincide with the opening of the hunt pheasant that day. Other major waterfowl season regulations were approved this week by the Utah Fish and Game Commission to incorporate the maximum allowable provisions. Both bag and possession limits for ducks remain the same as for last year with the respective limits being set at five birds each. Once again this year, two species the redhead and canvas-bac- k are protected and may not be part of any bag. John F.

Some 20 million Americans won't be able to vote this this 1962, this critically important election year simply because they are not registered. Some 40 millions of Americans have either come of voting age or they have moved since the 1960 election. An average of 20 per cent of our people move every year so that statistically almost half of our population may have moved since 1960. In one of our states, 60 per cent of the people in a particular area have moved in the last year. v We want to win this year's elections win resound-ing Democratc victories all across this nation so we can help President Kennedy do the job we elected him to do. But the patterns today are not the patterns of 1960. We want not only to equal the record of 1960 we want to surpass it. We have hard work at hand, and already the time is getting late. Fish, Came Board Tells Details for Pheasant Season The 1962 pheasant hunt, set to open 8:00 a.m., Nov. 3, will vary from 2 to 9 days in length by counties, with bag and pos-session limits of 3 and 6 birds, respectively. The season was set during the course of a special two-da- y meet-ing of the five-ma- n Utah Fish and Game Commission last week. Shortest shoot was set for two days, Nov. 3 and 4, in Utah County with most northern and eastern counties set for a nine-da- y season. Five shooting days were allocated to the majority of western and southern coun-ties. Once again this year the com-mission declared an experi-mental hen pheasant season, al-lowing one hen in the bag each day to hunters in Utah and Davis Counties. Hunting in all other areas of the state will be limited to the taking of cock pheasants rmlv The quail season was set to run from Nov. 3 to Nov. 25 state-wide, with an early opening date of Oct. 13 set for western Wash-ington County. The traditional late season in western Washing-ton County was set for Dec. 22 through Jan. 6. The pheasant season by coun-ties allows a nine-da- y hunt in Cache, Rich, Weber, Morgan, Davis, Summit, 'Wasatch, Du-chesne. Daggett, Grand. San Juan, Iron, and Washington. A five-da- y shoot is scheduled in Box Elder, Salt Lake, Tooele, Juab, Sanpete, Sevier, Carbon, Emery, Millard, Beaver, Wayne, Piute, Garfield, and Kane. Only Utah County will be restricted to a two-da- y season on the brightly colored birds. With few exceptions, all other rules and regulations remain the same as in past years. The Petrochemical Revolution We think of petroleum as a source of heat and energy for home and farm and factory, as the controlled force that drives our cars and trains and plans and ships, and as the provider of the essential lubricants thta keep an infinite number of wheels turning. It does all this, of course. Additionally, it is the raw material on which a great and expanding industry is based the petrochemical industry. Last year petro-chemicals accounted for a third of the nation's entire chemical output. By 1970, the proportion may lift to half. Thousands of chemicals are now being produced from petroleum, natural gas, and refinery gas. They include such widely used commodities as car tires, man-ma- de fibres, fertilizers, detergents and plastics. They thus give petroleum an increasingly important role in modern American life. Millions of us use, each day, valuable products whose origin was oil, though we may not realize it. This is not confined to our own country. The petro-chemical revolution, which began in the U. S. only about 25 years ago, has spread to Great Britain, Western Eu-rope, Latin America, Japan, Australia and the Soviet Union. According to the scientists, the industry's future is literally unlimited. Endless new ideas, developments, and innovations are now in the research stage. The result is better living and working standards for all. That is one reason why the United States has a great stake in encouraging its oil companies to maintain their reserves and leadership the world over. etter to Clarify Stand on Vote County Demo Committee Drafts ed concerning financial support of Commissioner W.
