As is well known, they have the right to join if they so desire. The President's executive order puts it this way : "Each employee of the executive branch of the federal government has the right, freely and without with-out fear of penalty or reprisal, to form, join and assist a labor organization or to refrain from any such activity, and each employee shall be protected in the exercise of this right." The order also forbids agency shop agreements : No agreements shall "require an employee to become be-come or to remain a member of a labor organization or to pay money to the organization except pursuant to a voluntary, written authorization by a member for the payment of dues through payroll deductions." deduc-tions." Furthermore, it also requires that government govern-ment employee unions disclose records fully, in the same manner now required of unions in the private sector. The states, counties, cities and towns might well review this precedent in labor-management relations rela-tions when legislative action is being considered. Four new waterfowl management man-agement areas were completed, and existing . areas improved and enlarged to provide additional addi-tional habitat for waterfowl and more room for hunters. Establishment of quality fishing streams afforded fishermen fish-ermen the opportunity to angle for wild fish with artificial lures. Chemical rehabilitation of several Utah waters during this period restored many lakes and reservoirs to productivity and provided better angling opportunities. oppor-tunities. The Division of Fish and Game participated in construction, construc-tion, stocking and purchase of water rights in many new water wa-ter developments throughout Hypnotist to be at high schools Seven normal people sat on the stage. Some poised, some self-conscious, a couple of gig-glers, gig-glers, some nervous, but all wide awake. Then, at the snap of finers, everyone of them slumped in his chair, head e'reoping, sound asleep. This is just a portion of the act done by Vandermeide, Eur-pe's Eur-pe's fastest, most experienced hypnotist when he appears . at the Payson High School, January Janu-ary 10 beginning at 8 p.m. Naturally at the snap of his fingers, those same people were wide awak again and entirely unawaare they'd just been asleep. Other acts of the show which uses the audience to provide the entertainment, by Ben Van-der Van-der Meide, Murray, might see wide awake people unable to unlock their clasped hands or find themselves "stuck" to their chairs or performing and acting like professional entertainers. Vander Meide points out that hypnotism has a far wider use than entertainment, but for a fun evening his acts prove entertaining. the State. The most notable of these were Flaming Gorge Reservoir Res-ervoir and Lake Powell. The many new water developments develop-ments completed in the 60's helped to meet the increased fishing pressure, but they also placed an additional load on the State's fish hatcheries. Many of the existing hatcheries were remodeled and repaired to meet this need, and additional hatch ery sites were purchased. RKP. LAURENCE i. BURTON The small businessmen in Utah play an important role in Utah's econcmy. They not only build Industry In our state but give our economy a needeo boost. It's estimated by the Small Business Administration that $68 million will be awarded award-ed to Utah small businesses during fiscal year 1970! During the .last four years I have served on the House Select Se-lect Committee on Small Business. Bus-iness. This is a good assignment assign-ment because I feel that the small business and small businessmen busi-nessmen are two of America's strongest backbones. In this week's Report from Washington, I am going to take the opportunity to explain some cf the activities of this important import-ant committee, our progress to date, and how most any Utahn can take part in a small business busi-ness venture. Seme of the purposes of the House Small Business Committee Commit-tee are to examine all governmental govern-mental policies for their affect on small business, to see that the interests of the small businessmen bus-inessmen are protected, to oversee over-see current legislation which affect small business, and to provide preferences for small businesses which give the owners own-ers the incentive to compete with "big business" and thereby there-by help our free enterprise system. One of my subcommittees concerns "procurement." We see that the small businessmen get a fait share of government business, for Congress has declared de-clared that a fair portion of the total purchase and contracts for property and services for the government be placed with small b u s i ness enterprises. (There are several small business busi-ness projects in Utah dealing with government operations, such as the Defense Depot-Ogden, Depot-Ogden, and Hill Air Force Base.) Our committee has various means for seeing that this governmental gov-ernmental policy is carried out, and a particular on, in which we were involved in recent months is conducting government gov-ernment procurement hearings. In October, for instance, I traveled trav-eled with other House Members cn the committee to Ogden, and to Los Angeles, to hold programs of both small businessmen busi-nessmen and government agencies agen-cies were heard. Small businessmen business-men not only benefit from such hearings, but the government govern-ment as well, Small businessmen business-men not only benefit from such hearings, but small businesses have greater flexibility ' than larger ones and are often able to supply the government more satisfactorily than big business.' . The House Small Business Committee oversees the Small Business Administration (SB A) which is extremely helpful to the small businessman. It provides pro-vides such services as management manage-ment and financial assistance, and minority programs. Analyses have shown that nine out of ten business failures are due to managerial problems, so the SBA's Office of Management Manage-ment Assistance attempts to get to the small business community com-munity the information and training needed to reduce the mortality rate of these firms. (Incidentally, they have been most successful in their attempts at-tempts for small business failures fail-ures have been in steep decline de-cline recently.) Several very effective methods meth-ods are used by the SBA to help business management in three general programs of assistance. as-sistance. These programs are Counseling at Local Levels (CALL), the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE), and Manag e m e n t Training, which provides courses, conferences, con-ferences, workshops, and problem prob-lem .clinics. One of the programs pro-grams of which I am particularly particu-larly impressed is SCORE, which uses the business knowledge know-ledge of men and women retired re-tired from the business world who have volunteered their assistance to over 60,000 businesses busi-nesses since the SCORE program pro-gram was established late in 1964. The SBA also provides financial finan-cial assistance to small businesses. busi-nesses. They do this chiefly by leaning funds and by persuading persuad-ing banks to participate in giving giv-ing loans. The Minority Enterprise Program Pro-gram was initiated by the SBA in 1968 to stimulate minority enterprise. SBA has combined its efforts with those of private industry, banks, local communities, communi-ties, and the Federal Government, Govern-ment, to help in closing the "business ownership gap." The minority program is a comprehensive compre-hensive action program designed de-signed to help resolve two major ma-jor closely interrelated problems: prob-lems: rebuilding the inner-city, and providing minorites wth an opportunty to enter the economic econ-omic mainstream. (Once again, however, management positions lack real leadership whether that comes from no concrete training, poor help, whatever u J- lSr) ' From the superintendent's desk by Joe A. Reidliead This is the first in a series of articles which will attempt to keep the citizens of Nebo District better informed about the schools and answer questions ques-tions which arise periodically. May I recommend that you still it lacks and many small businesses run by minorities are closing.) I still think that this program is a good one and I hope that it will ultimately meet with success. For Utah, the small business program looks good. In fiscal 1969, some $66 million was poured into the Beehive State's economy by the SBA. And, I repeat, I think the chances are good for more than $68 million to be awarded Utah's small businessmen bus-inessmen in fiscal 1970. Of file these short articles for reference. They will provide you with ready answers to questions which you might have from time to time. I shall attempt to provide both information of a general nature and specific information course, I hope it is more than that. Whatever it is, it will be gcod for Utah's economy, and in particular, the small businessman, busi-nessman, the person who believs in the free enterprise systm and wants to prove that "he can make it on his own." After all, the American Dream of pushing forth by your own in-itiativ in-itiativ is not really an old-fashioned old-fashioned idea we just need more people who believe it can be done! which will give a break-down on District expenditures, new programs in the District, new educational trends across the nation, and answer specific problems as they arise. My personal per-sonal feeling is that the schools belong to the people, that decisions de-cisions must be made by the elected school board for the benefit of all the children in Nebo District, and that it is our responsibility to keep the citizenry informed about their schools. Every school patron should know the members of the Board of Education. The following follow-ing men have been elected to four year terms on the Nebo Board of Education: Glenn Coffman, Springville; Lynn Crook, Santaquin; Dr. Robert Hcgan, Payson; Dr. William Sorensen, Spanish Fork and Ray, Whiting, Mapleton. These men are responsible to establish policies for the operation oper-ation of the District. They serve overlapping terms. Three board positions will be on the November Novem-ber ballot in 1970. Traditionally, Traditional-ly, there has been low voter interest in-terest in school board elections, despite the fact that usually the school board is the largest employer within the district boundary. The decisions they make probably affect more people than any other board or corporation. Incidentally, although you may go hatless in the south, Chicago's health commissioner, Dr. Morgan J. O'Connell, urges men to wear hats in winter weather. It not only reduces the possibility of colds and flu, but avoids drying out natural hair oils.
