Show I c THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1961 Page Three United Fund Holds Training Session The first of four training ses-si- os began last Friday morning for 88 Account Executives who will work on the coming United Fund campaign. Conducting each of the meetings will be Harold O. Molitor, general campaign chairman for the 1962 appeal for funds. , The meetings are being held in the auditorium of Mt. Fuel Supply Company, 180 East First South Street. Mr. Molitor expressed his views on the program this way: "It is felt that in order to com-plete these the main considera-tions a maximum amount of time of 20 to 30 hours would be all that is necessary to do the job. This 20 to 30 hour period of time would be spread out over six months. By having only six to ten firms to contact and work with there is a much closer liai-son maintained by the account executive to the firm and a more personal relationship estab-- ( lished." Mr. Molitor further stated, "The Account Executives will be making the contacts and doing I the main job, but a selected team I of men will also be assigned to the account executive. They are I to give help and advice where J needed and to be there for strength when the situation calls I for it. Each Team Chairman has I six account executives to work ? with. In turn, there is a division chairman who supervises and directs the work of each team chairman." Mr. Molitor said that the 88 account executives will begin their contacts in early June with the chief executive of the firms assigned to them. 75 per cent of the account executives are the same men as last year and will not require an extensive training program, only a brief . orientation of any new developments. The men will have the same assignments as last year and here of course, lies the strength of the campaign. Mr. Molitor further stated that it is the hope of the campaign officials to complete the cam-paign in a six week period of time this year. The 1962 appeal is scheduled for "kick off" dur-ing the first week of September. Winners Announced For Essay Contest Colleen Hansen, Senior Stu-dent of Murray High School, and Elwyn C. Peterson, Senior Student of Ogden High School, have been adjudged as the two winners of the two $250 Scholar-ships in the Utah State AFL-CI- O Fourth Annual Scholarship Program. This year two additional schol-arships in the amount of $100 each have been awarded.

The following subjects were chosen: Miss Hansen, "How Does Organized Labor Contrib-ute to the Freedom and Dignity of the Individual?" Mr. Peterson, "Union-Manageme- nt Coopera-tion The Key to Industrial Peace." Miss Bitter, "What Or-ganized Labor Means to My Family." Mr. Colby, "How Does Organized Labor Contribute to the Freedom and Dignity of an Individual?" Theme Se lec ted fo r MIA June Gatherings "Love the Youth, Teach the Truth" will be the theme of the 63rd annual June Conference of the Mutual Improvement Associ-ation, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. The full schedule of activities scheduled for June 15th through 17th in Salt, Lake City will keep MIA workers, who attend the confer-ence, going at a fast pace. General Superintendent Jo-seph T. , Bentley and General President Florence S. Jacobsen this week announced that one of the most outstanding programs of the conference will take place Sunday afternoon in the Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square at 1:30 p.m., June 17th. President Jacobsen said, "No one will want to miss the final session of this conference. It is planned espe-cially for all MIA leaders to give them added information concerning the great Church-wid- e missionary effort." The program, entitled "Sharing the Gospel Through MIA," will show the important role the MIA now plays, and can play in the future in realistically bringing the gos-pel to young non-memb- er people, in a program of spiritual activity and fun. In observance of the 100th an-niversary of the birth of the old Salt Lake Theatre, MIA FESTI-VALS this year will include, in addition to Road Shows and "An Evening at Social Hall," a new two-a- ct musical drama, written by L. Clair Likes and Albert O. Mitchell, assisted by Moana B. Bennett, rightfully named "Papa and The Playhouse"! As the name indicates, the "Papa" ob- - jects to his daughter playing on the stage of the Old Salt Lake Theatre. Music composition has been under the direction of Crawford Gates, famed composer of the music for the popular "Promised Valley" (which, inci-dentally, will play at the World's Fair in Seattle). "Papa and The Playhouse" will play Tuesday through Saturday, June 12th through June 16th at Kingsbury Hall on the University of Utah campus. Matinee performances are set for Friday and Saturday at 5 p.m. Tickets are on a re-served basis . . . $1.50 and $2.00, and $1.00 general admission. They may be obtained by send-ing check and self-address- ed en-velope to "MIA Festivals," 135 South State, Salt Lake City, Utah. . Get Car Checked For Vacation, Council Advises Motorists who intend to take advantage of Governor Clyde's proclamation of Utah's second Vacation Planning Week would be wise, as a first step, to get their cars in tiptop shape for the summer touring season, in the opinion of George F. L. Bishop, vice-chairm- an of the Utah Petroleum Council. The old song, "Get out and get under," will lose all meaning if plans for the vapation period in-clude a preliminary trip to a service station tojiavejthe family car thoroughly inspected so that any defects pan be corrected, Mr. Bishop said today. "Delays 1 and frustrations caused by breakdowns can be avoided by putting the entire car in good shape through the replacement of ailing sparkplugs, a battery test, inspection of lights for power and focus, and careful checks of brakes and tires," he continued. "Motoring has changed com-pletely in the past half century. In the old days, drivers expected frequent breakdowns. They never dreamed of going out on bumpy gravel roads without an assortment of wrenches, screw-drivers and hammers, two spare tjmes, a crank, tire pump, tube patching kit and a sieve or cha-mois skin to strain dirt out of gasoline bought from a barrel in some hardware or general store. Today, as a result of better cars, gasolines and lubricants, as well as the checkups available at any of America's 200,000 service stations, breakdowns have be-come the exception rather than the rule." . Mr. Bishop added that stations provide many other conveniences for motorists such as free road maps, clean restrooms, free air, water, and directions to hotels, motels, restaurants and points of scenic or historic interest. He concluded: "The family car provides to-day's least expensive and most convenient method of travel. Motorists can go their own way, according to their own schedules, and see the country as they go. Complete information on spots they wish to visit is available from any number of sources. The car offers a range as big as the continent and lets each . family choose the change of scene it finds most stimulating. As a re-ul- t, vacation planning has ceased being a chore." Postmaster Offers Advice to Suburb Residents "America is a land of rapidly expanding suburbs. It is our de-sire to furnish these new resi-dential areas with prompt, ac-curate mail service," says Post-master D. R. Trevithick. The postmaster has the follow-ing advice for those living in newly-constructe- d homes: 1. If you occupy a new home on a street already receiving mail delivery, install your house num-ber and appropriate mail recept-acle or door slot immediately. Should you be located on a mounted route (served by motor vehicle), you will be to required furnish a rural-typ- e mail box or the suitable receptacle erected at the curbline. Ordinarily, the type of receptable being used by your neighbors would be the cor-rect one. If you have any ques-- tion as to the type of box or as j to where and how it should be ' installed, get in touch with the post office. Also, be sure to notify the post office at once when you are ready for service to begin. 2. If your new home is on a street not receiving mail deliv-ery, get in touch with the post office immediately and ascertain where and how you may receive i mail, Usually, it is necessary that you install a rural-typ- e mail box at the nearest point in the car-rier's regular line of travel, but it may be necessary, under cer-tain circumstances that you re-ceive your mail temporarily through general delivery. Notify the post office immediately when you are ready for service to be-gin. TTn1nnn n J J. A the requirements for delivery to a box or other receptacle, proper-ly placed and installed, his mail is placed in general delivery at the main post office or station or branch from which his ad-dress is served, where it is held for 10 days (or fewer if the send-er so specifies on the mail mat-ter). After this period, the mail will be endorsed "Unclaimed" and returned to sender or other-wise appropriately disposed of. It is therefore most important that any resident who has not installed a mail receptacle in ac-cordance with post office de-livery requirements call at the postal unit serving his address every day or two to see if he has mail being held in general de-livery. , Answers to questions about all aspects of the postal service can be obtained quickly by calling DA 11, Ext. 349. i S.L. County Totals Announced for Social Security Aid Residents of Salt Lake County received social security benefits of $1,843,920 per month during 1961, Senator Frank E. Moss (D-Uta- h) reported this week. An average of 26,623 persons in Salt Lake County qualified every month for benefits, includ-ing old age, survivors, and dis-ability insurance, he said. Some 60,785 Utahns about one out of every 15 received benefits totaling $47,578,000 for the year. "These figures point up the importance of the social security program to the nation," Senator Moss said. "Last year 16.5 mil-lion Americans received pay-ments of more than a billion dol-lars every month through this great insurance system," he said. "Although started as a meas-ure to help overcome the great depression, social security has been one of the most important stabilizing influences on our eco-nomy," Moss said. "And since its adoption both the sales of life insurance and the establishment of corporate retirement systems have grown tremendously. The social security system becomes more valuable as we lengthen our life span," he said. "Of all Americans 65 or older, nearly three out of four receive monthly benefits or are eligible to receive them when they or their spouse retire," he said. About 87 per cent of all per-sons . reaching age 65 this year are eligible for social security benefits, Senator Moss noted. Two Firms Submit Bids on Coal Land Two companies submitted Suc-cessful bids for the right to mine coal on 10,733.96 acres of public land in Carbon, Emery and Se-vier Counties, according to R. D. Nielson, Utah State Director, U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The acreage offered, by both oral and sealed bids, was divided into five parcels. The only bid-der on three parcels located in Sevier and Emery Counties, was Kemmerer Coal Company, Fron-tier, Wyo., whose successful bids totaled $23,034, or $3 per acre. High bidder on a tract in Car-bon County, was Minerals Devel-opment Corporation, Salt Lake City. A total bid of $5,280, or $11 per acre, was submitted, There were no bids received on a fifth tract in Emery County. This parcel will again be offered at a later date.
