Total expenditures for phase I of the project will approximate $2.5 million. The Park City Learning and Cultural Center, slated for opening in the fall of 1977. will accommodate some University of Utah conferences conferen-ces and cultural programs as well as be available to any groups seeking meeting facilities. The convention building will contain a 350-seat 350-seat lecture-concert hall plus eight meeting rooms. The planners borrowed and expended ex-pended upon aspects of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies, designing a campus-like complex tailored for continuing con-tinuing education programs and recreation. Phase I will include 104 hotel-type sleeping units, the convention building; banquet facilities, swimming pool and a parking area. Prospector Square, an adjoining ad-joining commercial development soon to be under un-der construction, will feature Victorian style shops and restaurants clustered around a four-season ice skating rink. A temporary rink has been in use at the site this winter. Construction of phase II will add more sleeping units, an Olympic-size pool, tennis courts, amphitheatre, racquetball courts, saunas, and a gymnasium. Learning Center Associates of Salt Lake City is developing the project. Robert M. Ord Construction Company has been named general contractor.

Directing the operation are Lonny Adams, President of Western Woodlands, Gordon Sloan, Vice-President, and Janet Casey, Marketing and Sales Director. Ms. Casey, formerly with the I'tah Ski Association, will direct a program aimed at attracting business and trade conventions, conven-tions, ski groups, professional and cultural programs, tourists and any other groups who seek a conference con-ference site where educational and recreational activities can be combined in a resort setting. According to Ms. CAsey, "We expect to draw enough business to transform Park City from a winter resort into a year-round year-round destination area. The proximity of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, the convenient 40-minute access to the airport via Interstate 80, and the scope of our convention con-vention and recreational facilities are expected to make this goal a reality. We will offer an unexcelled site for seminars, conventions and recreation-minded tourists." According to architect Arnold Ar-nold Fluckinger of Menlo Park, California, the complex com-plex will feature redwood siding, bronze-tone windows, heavy textured slumpstone masonry, and earth-tone shingle roofs. The convention building will occupy oc-cupy 17,000 square feet, and will accomoodate groups up to 500 people. The adjacent phase I sleeping units will be contained in three buildings. All rooms will contain two beds and private shower and bath. The site is located 1.3 miles north of Park City's Main Street on Highway 248. across from the new high school; 1 Learning Center Associates is currently developing a 165 lot residential residen-tial area adjacent to the learning center called Prospector Park. Off-sight improvements and construction construc-tion of Victorian style homes will also begin this spring.

Over half a billion dollars a year are spent on sleeping pills. There are 800,000 pounds of barbiturates bar-biturates alone produced in this country each year. That's enough to supply one capsule a week for each man, woman and child. Multiply that figure by 200 types of sleeping potions available today and you get an idea of the problem. It is now clear that many of the drugs taken to induce sleep affect the quality of sleep. For example, the essential nightly rhythm of vivid dreaming is interfered with by heavy doses of most sleeping pills. How much sleep is normal? nor-mal? That is like asking what size shoe does the average person wear. No single standard of what is normal can be set for adults. Most persons feel that seven or eight hours is right for them. A few may need as little lit-tle as four hours a night and cm Dr. McBride others as much as 11 or 12 hours. What can you do to achieve better sleep? The National Institute of Mental Health suggests the following ideas. One, don't go to bed unless you're tired and ready for sleep. If you continually go to bed when you're not tired you begin to associate going to bed with tossing and turning and not restful sleep. Two, if possible follow a set schedule. Have a routine before bed, perhaps reading or watching TV. Avoid daytime naps, you can't sleep at random and expect to enjoy a feeling of well being. Three, if you can't sleep don't stay in bed. Get out of bed and do something that isn't stressful or particularly creative. You might write a letter, read or balance the checkbook. Four, eating should be moderate and sensible. Avoid heavy meals late at night. Stimulants such as coffee, cola drinks and tobacco should also be avoided. Five, If sleeplessness continues, con-tinues, see your physician. How we sleep reflects our total selves and is not something that just happens, but is a result of our life style and manner of daily living.

The proposed zoning will prevent developers from using the county as a lever against the city when applying for annexation, McComb said. Without county zoning, those desiring annexation can offer a choice between city-controlled growth or uncontrolled growth outside but adjacent to the city limits, he added. Theme McComb said despite the wide divergence of attitudes existing in the three parts of the county, one common theme has emerged, "Stop scattered growth." , , He noted "that the Park City steering' committee was desirous of the most restrictive zoning. The Park City committee, com-mittee, McComb said, wanted extremely low permitted densities with development develop-ment dependent on zone change approvals, ap-provals, allowing the Planning Commission Com-mission to decide on each separate proposal.
