The UHMA is a trade association for the lodging industry in the state of Utah. Other members of the board include in-clude Mike Fletcher, chairman of the board of Salt Lake City, Mack Potter, president, of Price; Marc Kramer, first vice president of Salt Lake City, Lester West, secretarytreasurer, of St. George. UHMA currently has 250 member hotels and motels in the state of Utah which accounts for more than 75 percent per-cent of the beds available in the state. UHMA is a member of the American Hotel and Motel Association, a federation federa-tion of 81 states and countries in the Americas. ' The board meets once a month throughout the state to work on problems pro-blems that the owners and managers are experiencing. They also address matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Legislature. Elaine and her husband, Royal, have been the ownermanagers of the Best Western Dinosaur Inn and gift shop for approximately 20 years. They have seven children who live in various locations throughout the U.S. One son, William, lives in Vernal. Mrs. Henderson is also active in the Current Topics Club. More than any other element in in terior and exterior design artificial lighting has made dramatic progress. It can be used to alter shape and col or, to distort or enhance, dramatize or minimize. It increases working effi ciency and subtly changes decorating. It is much easier to understand light and the many ways to use it when you realize that it is divided into three main types: general or background lighting; local or task lighting, accent or decorative lighting. Most rooms should include at least two of these types. General living areas should in clude all three types. The level of each can be controlled by using dimmer switches. You should strive to achieve a low level of light throughout the living area. General lighting includes the use of ceiling fixtures of one type or another, from the central light to a whole illuminated ceiling. Lighted valances, cornice or wall lighting, recessed fixtures inset into ceilings or floors, or carefully placed portable lights such as table lamps or uplights are all used to bounce light off ceilings and walls. Local or task lighting should provide adequate illumination for all normal household activities. Table, floor or desk lamps are the source in the living liv-ing areas. Kitchens, laundry and utility utili-ty rooms make use of fluorescent or incandescent in-candescent tubes, or spots, over working work-ing surfaces. The ideal light in the bathroom is to have bulbs installed all around a mirror as well as downlights over bathtubs and sinks. When you want to draw attention to any possessions or areas that you want to emphasize and also provide interesting in-teresting and dramtic highlights the lighting will be accent or decorative lighting. Various types of spots, wallwashers, pinhole or framing pro jectors, as well as uplights and candles are the fixtures used. The attention given to using light for decorating has increased so much that there are many lighting designers availble now. If you do not know what you need or want it is wise to talk to a professional and get the much needed need-ed help. The time and expense is well worth it when you can achieve a beautiful room or complete home with the professional use of light. It is easy to be confused by the many terms used by lighting designers and manufacturers. 1. Incandescent bulbs give a pleasant, plea-sant, golden light and are a more popular choice for domestic use than the cooler fluorescents. Fluorescent bulbs are tubular in shape and are best when masked by a baffle. 2. Low-voltage bulbs have a precise beam and are used for pinpoint lighting. These come in spot and flood form with some designed to cast a rectangular rec-tangular beam. They are useful in highlighting objects. 3. Reflector bulbs are incandescent bulbs with a silver or aluminum reflector reflec-tor coating. The beam can be wide or narrow and will direct light where needed. 4. Wallwashers bathe a wall with a light and expand the feeling of space in a room. They are usually fixed three feet away from the wall and 24 to 36 inches apart. t 5. Downlights may be round or square metal canisters that can be recessed into a ceiling, semi-recessed, or ceiling-mounted to cast light on any surface under glass shelves and in corners cor-ners giving a beautiful and dramatic accent light. 7. Framing projectors can be shaped accurately so that a painting or any given surface can be lit exactly. 8. Track lighting makes it possible for one electric outlet to supply a number of separate fittings positioned position-ed anywhere along its length. It can be surface-mounted or recessed. 9. Dimmer switches give a variety of different light levels at the turn of a knob. They save energy, bulb life and running costs by reducing current consumption. They are essential in any flexible or subtle light scheme. Most can be installed quite easily.
