While many sections of the state failed to record measurable precipitation on Christmas day, another in the series of December storms did sweep across the state during the latter part of last week dropping locally quite heavy amounts of moisture. The largest accumulations seem to have fallen in the Salt Lake City, Tooele areas of the state where 2.61 and 1.94 inches respectively was reported. Tooele recorded 22 inches of snow during the 24 hour period which ended at 6 p.m. on the 29th which is a new record 24 hour snowfall for the station for any month of the year. Thus, a few more records were added to this unusual year just before its conclusion. Following the extremely cold weather during the fore part of the month temperatures rose to average near normal during the past week except in the Uintah Basin, which averaged about 10 degrees below. Preliminary averages for the month of December indicate that temperatures are well below normal in all areas of the state. Averages for the month from about 3 degrees below in the Western Desert to 11 degrees below in the Uintah Basin. The accumulated precipitation was again well above normal in all sections of the state except South Central Utah which was a little below. In spite of the severe drofath conditions which persist throughout much of the first 9 months of the year precipitation totals for the year ended in the black over about h of the state. Southeastern Utah, which was one of the sections most seriously hurt by the drouth ended the year with about 120 percent of normal, the Northern Mountains 110 percent, Dixie 107 percent and South Central Utah almost exactly normal. The Western Desert was the driest area recorded only 80 percent of normal for the year while the Wasatch Front reported 95 percent and the Uintah Basin 97 percent. Temperatures for the year averaged quite close to normal ranging from 3 degrees above normal in the Western portion of the state to 2 degrees below in the Dixie area. reports figures on Utah's public compared to national and regional averages, but equal to or above the averages on a dollars-per-recipient basis, according to Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit public service agency. The state's position varies with different public assistance programs, as would be expected. In Aid to Families With Dependent Children, largest single public assistance program in Utah and in the nation, Utah ranks relatively higher than in most other programs, and is slightly above the U. S. average and substantially sub-stantially above the Mountain States average in payments per recipient. The information is contained in a research brief released by Utah Foundation this week, and is based on figures for the month of June, 1972. How The Vikings Did It In recent decades respected historians have established beyond much doubt that the Vikings or Norsemen settled or visited Icland, Greenland, Newfoundland and New England. The mystery for modern sailors has long been how the Scandinavians of that age, around 1,000 or 1100, reached ' these distant points in their relatively small sailing vessels. Now comes an explanation from Dr. Svend Larsen of Denmark. At the time of the explorations, he says the winds were different from what they are today. Until about 1050, Larsen reports, the climate of North America and northern Europe was anticyclonic, producing a steady northeast wind. Records show the Norsemen called the wind landnordr, and they also show practically all their harbors were then on the west or southwest coasts, which no competent seaman world ever have picked if the prevailing wind had been from the west as it is today. These harbors were abandoned in the 11th century, history tells us. In the 11th century the winds changed, perhaps because of changes in the northern ice cap. Thereafter the Greenland settlement, set-tlement, which had prospered slowly died--and voyages there, from Norway, became dangerous and difficult. For this reason, northern America's first European visitors did not later return "The figures do not represent a long-range study, and are intended only to be indicative," the Foundation points out. "However, it is believed that the relative positions shown in the June figures would be reasonably applicable over a longer period of time." Under the Old Age Assistance program, Utah has fewer than one-fourth the national average and fewer than one-third the Mountain States average in numbers of recipients per 1,000 population.

Dale Despain met with the City Council here Tuesday evening to present the Comprehensive Plan for Springville Development for final consideration. Other matters on their agenda included in-cluded discussion of a proposed subdivision in the east area of Answers given This column of questions and answers on the President's Economic Stabilization Program is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service. The column answers questions most frequently asked about wages and prices. Q. Can a firm increase prices because of an increase in sales tax? A. No. Sales taxes collected by a firm for the State would not be part of a firm's annual sales or revenues nor would they enter into profit margin calculations. Moreover, an increase in the sales tax rates would not justify a subsequent increase in prices. An increase in excise taxes, however, would justify a price rise, because the tax is imposed on the production of the item, whether or not the product is ever sold. Thus, an excise tax is an allowable cost. Q How are legal fees controlled under the Economic Stabilization program? A. Law firms with more than 60 employees can not raise legal fees above a 2.5 percent annual limit. This ceiling applies to increases in legal fees for the 12-monlh 12-monlh period that began Nov. 14, 1971, and each succeeding 12-month 12-month period. Firms which have already raised their aggregate fees above the 2.5 percent limit since Nov. 14, 1971, will not be permitted further increases until the excess is worked off. Q. May a firm include interest on long-term debts as an allowable cost when calculating its current profit margin and its base period profit margin? ' A. Yes. Under a new Price Commission policy, companies with fiscal years beginning after July 31, 1972 must report interest on long-term debts as an operating expense when calculating their current profit margin and base period profit margin for Price Commission purposes. Previously, only interest in-terest on obligations maturing within a year had been allowed in making these computations. All Category I and II firms which did not previously use interest on longterm debts as an allowable expense when calculating base period profit margins are required to refile forms PC-50. Category III firms must also adjust their records.
