Show Page 8 Wednesday, April 28, 1976 The Man Who Skied Everest By Quicksilver Who would arrange to spend 3 million dollars for the privilege of first tracks down a sheet of blue ice with a pitch of 42 degrees and a verticle of 8,000 feet, Dick Bass? Japanese adventurer Yuichiro Miura is the only man to date who has skied Mount Everest. The 1970 Japanese expedition to the highest peak in the world Yuichiro Miura received little press in the United States, hence few people know of Miura 's achievement. Although Miura 's other accomplishments ac-complishments include setting set-ting the world ski speed XT,, . X f " a XR - I - '4l ....... j record in 1964, (during which ' he fell at a speed of over 108 mph) his name is not familiar to many American skiers. Perhaps this will change with the release of the film The Man Who Sided Down Berest Using footage shot during the 3 million dollar Japanese Everest expedtion, the film chronicles Miura 's incredible run 'down Everest's South Col. Miura 's run took the combined com-bined effort of over 850 people working with 27 tons of equipment, equip-ment, and required more than two months to reach the starting point. v Descending from ' an altitude of 268,351 ft: Miura used a radio equipped helmet, oxygen mask, and a , special parachute designed to slow his speed to make the . run. Had the parachute not opened he ,. would have reached a speed of over 100 mph in six seconds. The South Col of Everest has a vertical drop of 8,000 feet and a pitch of 42 to 45 degrees. The snow conditions were blue ice for most of the run. Miura, who skied Everest when he was 37 years old, now devotes his time to promoting physical fitness in . Japan, and organizing a wilderness camping experience ex-perience in Alaska for large groups of Japanese children. Yuichiro Miura was present at a special critics screening in Salt Lake City. When asked if he had ever skied Snowbird Miura simply gave a mystical smile and replied, "Of course."

How to Save on Electricity One of a series Accuracy is foremost when we read ,r,meteraand f igureurctric MIL rt oototo iohn: vioeo oory POTATO JOHN'S THANKS YOU FOR FOR YOUR BUSINESS THIS WINTER We will be open as announced for , special events. THIS FRIDAY NIGHT-TWO NIGHT-TWO HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTS featuring: Muhammad AI and Ken Norton - In order to save on electricity, a Utah Power customer needs to know how his meter is read, how-much how-much electricity household appliances use, how his electric bill is processed, and how to interpret that bill. If you missed our previous messages on how to read your meter and on comparing the energy consumption con-sumption of appliances, write Reddy Kilowatt, P.O. Box 899, Salt Lake City, Utah 84110, and ask for copies of "How to Read a Meter" and "Become a Watt-Watcher." Look for further messages in this series. Accuracy is Utah Power's watchword in recording and computing how much electricity you use, and in billing you for it each month. Here's how your bill is processed: Each month, a specially trained meter reader is given individual account meter sheets showing the names and addresses of those customers on his assigned route.: ... v ..-' 1 ; v When the meter reader arrives at your residence, he records on your account meter sheet the meter reading read-ing as shown by the dials on your meter. ,- , ; Fed into computer The meter reader returns your account meter sheet to the company office, where it is checked to make sure the numbers recorded are legible and complete, and then it is fed into a computer. The computer electronically "reads" the meter reading on the account meter sheet, compares it with the previous month, subtracts the previous reading ' from the new reading to determine how many kilowatt hours you have used during the billing period, then it . computes and prints your bill. If, however, the amount of kilowatt hours is unusually high or low, compared ,:to previous months, the computer rejects the compu- tation, and your account meter sheet is returned to the meter reader, who then goes back to your residence and takes a completely .new reading. Is meter accessible? ' - If accessible, every meter is read every month. Utah Power no longer estimates bills except when meters are not accessible. Locked gates and intimidating dogs are the most frequent reasons we cannot get to meters. In any case, bills are not estimated for more than two consecutive con-secutive months. But when we have to estimate your bill, it is done by our accounting department, wifh the help of computerized com-puterized data. Meter readers never estimate bills. ,: , , Same monthly interval v Utah Power makes an effort to read your meter at the same monthly interval, keeping the same number of days in each of your billing periods to make it easier for you to compare month-by-month power consumption. consump-tion. (On holidays and weekends, meters are not read, so the number of days will vary from time to time.) Every phase of the meter-reading and billing procedure is double checked. But should you have a question regarding your bill, you can receive a prompt explanation just by calling the Utah Power customer service number found in the white pages of your phone directory. wxmMm n,t wMi'' 'i,"i'iitiiiMri!D n 1 n frS'-pX' ' Xi . vv' jfvSH ttit&; .t .... fzk. j.-" & :X ' ' --': J ,i if.- 'm i wht- if Jmtitimmm)immmti0t'''' 1 1 '", ' I '..'?'.!'
