The prognosis for Medicare and Social Security's ability to continue to help fund later years for the "old folks" well into the next century will be discussed for seniors and other who may wish to attend.

Let's keep America on the 'fast track' by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman Americans today have a lot to smile about. Our economy is the envy of the world, and as technology technolo-gy and trade bring people closer together, to-gether, we are shaping a more peaceful and prosperous community communi-ty of nations. Our nation is the undisputed leader lead-er of this new world. But where do we want to be tomorrow? That's the real question underlying the trade debate. No sector of our economy econ-omy has a greater stake in the answer an-swer than agriculture. Since World War II, America has had the most open markets of any world power. The Clinton Administration has worked to ensure en-sure that openness is a two-way street. That's part of the reason why U.S. agricultural exports shot up 50 percent in the past five years, reaching nearly $60 billion in 19. and helping America reclaim the title ti-tle of the world's largest exporter. Without question, we are ahead in the global economy. But ve cannot afford to sit on our lead. Agriculture's future depends on expanded trade. Booming markets in the Pacific Rim ami Latin America are growing at three tunes the rate of our strong, stable dumes-tic dumes-tic market. At the same tune, our fanners and ranchers aie increasingly increas-ingly productive. Our people simply sim-ply cannot consume all this abundance. abun-dance. We need foreign markets to continue lifting farm prosperity here at home. That's why we need 'last track.' While it sounds like a phi asc oil' the NASCAR circuit, last track really re-ally gives the president the clout lie needs to open doois to I '.S. p?"diicis around the world. Most lie. ids of state have this power to --it down at the international table and negotiate on behalf of their country. Wiihout it, a leader would be, as they say in Texas, "all hat and no cattle."

He will discuss in some detail changes in Medicare under terms of the Budget Act agreed to by Congressional leaders and the viability via-bility of the Social Security program. He and other AARP visitors will be available after the luncheon at the Golden Age Center to discuss ihese and other matters with seniors and interested persons. American jobs rely on our food and liber sales abroad. Without 'fast track,' we stand to lose a lot of ground. While the U.S. today is responsible for more than 20 percent of world agricultural exports, ex-ports, that share will surely shrink if we continue to sit on the sidelines while our competitors court our best customers. The United States must decide: Are we in or are we out? I understand people's wariness of the global economy. But expanded tradc-thc opportunity to sell more products overseas-is not the problem. prob-lem. The problem is barriers to that trade. The solution is aggressively opening tip what is clearly a world of opportunity. We cannot do this without fast track. I won't promise that it will solve every problem, but I can say that its rejection would be viewed by the world as retreat. Headed into a new century, America should not forget that superpowers su-perpowers came and went before ours largely by taking their place in the world for granted. We must avoid complacency, and keep sharpening sharp-ening American's competitive edge. To do this, we must keep America on the fast track.

Yet, annually, annu-ally, between 5,000 and 6,000 people peo-ple suffer this fate. The numbers used to be considerably higher just 20 years ago. In the late 1960s and early 1970s the number of people lost to fire was between 12,000 to 15,000 per year. Smoke alarms have cut these figures by more than half, even though the population has grown considerably. In the early 1970s smoke detectors detec-tors became commercially available for the average homeowner. The early units were expensive, about $50, as most new electronic devices are. Over time, as the research and development expenses were paid for, the cost has dropped significantly. signifi-cantly. You can now purchase a good, basic detector for about $6. According to the National Fire Protection Association, statistically speaking, you cut the risk of dying in a home fire by roughly 40 percent per-cent if you have smoke detectors. In the last 1 2 years there has been a slight downward trend in the impact im-pact of smoke detectors on these statistics, which is attributed to failure fail-ure rates and maintenance problems. prob-lems. Periodic replacement of smoke detectors is necessary. Detectors now come with a warning to replace re-place the units every 10 years. In a 1987 study on residential detectors, the study was able to predict an increase in-crease of failures, the longer a detector de-tector had been in service. Failure predictions First year: 2 - 3 percent; 2nd to 10th year: 16-30 percent; and 1 1th to 20th year: 30 - 50 percent. Certain other environmental factors, fac-tors, such as dust, cobwebs, cigarette smoke, cooking vapors, shower steam, etc., can also affect the proper functioning of detectors. You should have a regular testing, maintenance and replacement program pro-gram for your smoke detectors to assure you will have adequate warning and every opportunity to escape from a fire. Placement recommendations At the minimum, you should have one detector for each level in your home. A detector needs to be placed within 10 feet of all sleeping areas, since most fire deaths occur at night while people are sleeping. The unit should be mounted high on the wall, or at best, on the ceiling. ceil-ing. It should never be placed near UDAF livestock brand inspector. All livestock headed to slaughter slaugh-ter must be inspected prior to slaughter. Inspections can be scheduled by calling a local UDAF inspector a few days ahead time. The local inspector in-spector in the Uintah Countv area is Rod Wilkins, 7X9-7064. The inspector in-spector for the Weslside of Uintah County is Billy Reed, 722-2619.

IJox 1000, Vernal, Utah 84078 or stop by our office at 54 North Vernal Avenue the juncture of the wall and ceiling, as there is a "dead air" space there. Avoid installing a detector near bathrooms with showers. Steam can sometimes cause false alarms and the moisture can rust metal components compo-nents of the detector. Avoid installing detectors in garages, attics of other places where the environment may have spiders and webs, high levels of particulate matter in the air such as dust, auto exhaust, and large temperature tem-perature ranges from very hot to very cold. Testing and maintenance Each detector comes with recommendations recom-mendations for testing the unit. Generally, activating the testing mechanism once a month should be sufficient. Once or twice a year, use a vacuum vacu-um with a hose and attachments to remove any dust or cobwebs from the unit. This will cut down on false alarms. Most battery powered smoke detectors de-tectors will sound sporadically when the battery is weak. Always test battery powered detectors upon your return after having been away from home for a week or more. The battery may have gone dead and you may have missed its warning alarm. It is recommended that batteries bat-teries be changed once a year. Battery vs. AC Current-powered Detectors The advent of detectors powered by the current in your house wires is appealing because you never have to worry about battery replacement. re-placement. Another advantage is that the units can be wired together so that if a fire starts in the basement of a two story house, all the detectors will sound immediately. However, if you have hard-wired detectors, a problem can occur if there is a power failure due to storm, fire, earthquake, etc. The detectors de-tectors will not sound without electrical elec-trical power. There are now AC powered units on the market with a battery backup. This will allow an alternate power supply for your detector de-tector in the event of a power failure. fail-ure. Without having to replace all the hard-wired units in your home you can instead in stall a battery powered unit near each AC powered pow-ered unit. This will then not only allow al-low for alternate power sources but alternate detection capabilities. lifetime travel permit issued by a UDAF inspector. It is permissible to travel anywhere any-where within Utah without a health inspection. However, if you are bringing any animal into Utah from another state or country, a health certificate must accompany the shipment. This certificate would be issued by a veterinarian in the originating orig-inating state. In the case of cattle, the health certificate must include an entry permit number issued by the UDA Veterinary office. Horses must have a negative cog-gins cog-gins test accompanying the health certificate.
