Calvin Packard; City Drug abuse education gets $23,200 State Board of Education officials have received word that the fourth and final year of Utah's Drug Abuse Education Prevention Project has been funded. The U.S. Office of Education grant for $23,200 will bring the total amount spent on drug education in Utah to : $109,600. A report issued by Robert L. Leake, Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Specialist with the Utah State Board of Education, indicates that this year's funding will be used to continue basic drug education programs and workshops and to develop curriculum guidelines based on the experiences of the first three years. According to the report, all project activities during the last three years have emphasized the "Human" aspects of drug education such as self-esteem, humanizing the school, communication, com-munication, and acceptable alternatives to drug abuse. "We have learned," said Leake "that the more technical aspects of drug education such as chemical make-up and the toxic effects of narcotics do little to discourage usage." The four-year grant has provided for a variety of drug prevention and education activities. ac-tivities. During 1970-71, for instance, in-stance, a state team for in-service in-service leadership was trained at the National Drug Training Center in San Francisco. The team then trained regional teams who in turn brought drug education techniques and information in-formation to local school districts. In all, twenty-two regional workshops were held which involved thirty-six of Utah's forthy school districts. In 1971-72, the primary focus of the project was the funding of pilot drug prevention programs in twenty-six schools located in six separate school districts. ' . In one pilot program, for example, known drug users were offered a high risk alternative alter-native to durg use in the form of a trip down the Colorado River. The experiment seemed to indicate in-dicate that at least these regular drug users were not able to accept alternatives to their drug problems and were heavily involved in the drug culture. At another school, forty senior high school students, held a retreat with counselors and educators in order to work towards a' cooperative solution to drug problems. Other school projects included an "opportunity center" where students could gather after school hours, a program to involve in-volve more students in leadership and work opportunities, op-portunities, and the offering of socially acceptable alternatives to the ''highs" of drug abuse. Along with these programs, a statewide survey to disclose the extent of drug usage among Utah students and their attitudes toward the drug scene was completed. Some 34,000 students participated in the. assessment. This last year similar pilot drug education programs were initiated in six new districts involving fifty-four schools. Future planning calls for the distribution of curriculum guidelines to be developed this year for use on the classroom level.

This was reported today by Utah Foundation,, the private research organization. According to the Foundation analysis which was based on reports published by the Utah State Highway Department, traffic volume on Utah County roads and highways averaged 1,807,300 vehicle miles per day in 1972. This compares with average traffic volume of 1,020,100 vehicle miles per day in 1962, 1,302,700 daily vehicle miles in 1967, and 1,691,400 daily vehicle miles in 1971. These totals excludes travel on city streets and county rural roads they are not part of the Federal-aid Federal-aid system. Until the recent gasoline shortages, highway travel in Utah was increasing at an increasing in-creasing rate. For example, the average annual rate of growth in Utah traffic volume was 5.1 percent in the 1960-1972 period, 5.7 percent in the 1967-1972 period, and 7.6 percent in the 1971-1972 period. Foundation analysts point out that travel in light trucks is growing at a much faster rate than travel in other types of vehicles. Light trucks often are Councilman Leonard James; Ross Elliott, Program Director of Utah State Outdoor Recreation; Gordon Harm st on, Coordinator of Natural Resources; and Earl Kohler, Chief of Operations, Utah Parks and Recreation. The two men came to the meeting as a team representing elements of Task Force, a county wide juvenile youth program currently in operation. They detailed the plan for study and later action by the Springville Council. It would provide for the appointment of an adult supervisor and peer used as recreation vehicles in connection with camper units. Between 1962 and 1972, light truck travel in Utah rose by 186 percent, a rate of increase more than three times that recorded by other types of vehicles. In 1972 light truck travel accounted for nearly 18 percent of all .traffic volume in Utah, compared com-pared with only 10 percent ten years earlier. Following is a tabulation showing the average number of vehicle miles traveled each day in Utah County last year by type of vehicle: Utah Passenger Cars, 1,138,700 miles; Out-of-State Cars, 163,900 miles; Light Trucks, 345,600 miles; Heavy Trucks, 159,100 miles; total, 1,807,300 miles. To accommodate the heavier traffic volumes of recent years, Utah Foundation . reports that many major improvements have been made on Utah's highway high-way system. First, the number of miles of paved roads and streets in Utah has increased by 39 percent over the past ten years. In addition, considerable work has been done on Utah's multi-lane interstate system during this period. In 1962, only about 10 percent of the designated Utah interstate system has been completed and was open to traffic. At the end of 1972, approximately 565 miles or 60 percent of the Federal interstate in-terstate system in Utah had been completed and was being utilized by motorists. The total designated mileage of Utah's road and streets system increased in-creased by 13 percent between 1962 and 1972. Although travel in rural areas still accounts for nearly 59 percent of the total traffic volume in Utah, urban travel is increasing at a much faster rate than is rural travel. According to the Foundation analysis, rural travel in Utah has been rising at an average annual rate of 2.9 percent per year during the past ten years, compared with an average annual growth rate of 10.6 percent per year in urban traffic volume. As might be expected, a major portion of Utah's traffic volume is concentrated in the four "Wasatch Front" counties of Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah. These four counties account ac-count for 59 percent of Utah's total travel volume during 1972 committee to deal with juveniles whose offenses are of the "status" type. This term, Chief Grant explained, means those offenses considered legal for adults but forbidden by law for jeveniles. They involve such things as use or possession of tobacco or liquor, truancy from school, and similar type Society. The check boosted the 1973 County Cancer Crusade over its $30,000 goal and topped the State Crusade's $300,000 goal. and have registered traffic in-' creases during the past ten years that are above the state average. The Foundation study Utah gets $47.5 sharing funds in General revenue sharing' distributions to the state of Utah, the 29 counties, the 213 cities and towns, and 5 Indian tribes have totaled $47.5 million for the first eighteen months of the program. The fact was brought out in a comprehensive study of Federal revenue sharing and grants in aid prepared by Utah Foundation, Foun-dation, the nonprofit public service organization. According to the Foundation report, two semi-annual distributions were made for the 1972 calendar year, and two quarterly distributions were made to cover the first half of 1973. Altogether, $15,853,192 has been distributed to the State Government, $15,667,069 to the 29 counties, $15,735,088 to the 213 cities and towns, and $241,475 to the 5 Indian Tribal Councils within the state. mm THANKS Members of the Springville Red Devil football squad issued sincere and hearty, thanks today, to all local fans and supporters for their help in making the game with Rancho High at Las Vegas last Saturday possible.

The council asked for a detailed written presentation of the proposed new program for further study before any action is taken. Also presented at the meeting was a proposal, involving a study of all city positions, including in-cluding job evaluation, as the basis for developing an accurate wage and salary scale. It would be carried out through the Mountainlands Council of Governments, with their personnel per-sonnel expert, Mr. M. Shane Luck, Mr. Luck discussed his plan with the council and outlined its stages of development. develop-ment. He stated it would include evaluation of jobs, a check of labor markets for comparison purposes, and setting up of pay scales guidelines for attaining a more equitable balance of operation. He strongly emphasized em-phasized that "We would be checking on and comparing jobs, not employees." This same project has already been carried out in nearly all other major Central Utah cities, he stated. The cost would be underwritten by government funding and the project will take four months to complete. A unanimous vote was given by the council A discussion was held by the council with Planning Commission Com-mission chairman Blaine Clyde on current zoning ordinances of the city. A weakness in this area regarding housing involving four or more units per lot was noted. City Attorney Robert Sumsion was assigned by Mayor F. Calvin Packard to develop an amendment to existing ordinances or-dinances which would correct this situation. . . j, .. 77 percent points out, however, that these four "Wasatch Front" counties account for 77 percent of the state's total population. million revenue past 18 months Approximately one-third of the revenue sharing funds allocated to Utah is distributed to theState Government with the remaining two thirds going to local units. The revenue sharing distributions to local units in Utah for calendar 1972 amounted to $18.65 per capita. If these funds were raised from a local tax, an added property tax levy of 9.59 mills would have been required The general revenue sharing program was enacted last year by Congress, which appropriated ap-propriated more than $30 billion in Federal funds to state and local units across the nation over a five-year period. Foundation analysts observe that there is apparently concern among state, and local officials across the nation that the revenue sharing program may not be continued. They point out that many state and local units have allocated their revenue sharing funds for capital outlay and other nonrecurring expenditure items. The Foundation report points out that the general Federal revenue sharing program passed by Congress last year was only part of . a com-prehensive com-prehensive administration proposal to overhaul the entire Federal grant structure. In addition to general revenue sharing the administration plan would have Congress consolidate con-solidate many of the narrow-purpose narrow-purpose categorical Federal grant programs into a limited number of broad-purpose special revenue sharing programs.
