State Farm Insurance Agent Tom Ligare. who serves ser-ves families in the Park City community, has been recognized by his company as a leader in life insurance and policyholder service. Ligare was among a select group of 88 agents from Colorado, Utah, and It's A Boy Wyoming to participate in a two-day conference at State Farm Corporate Headquarters Headquar-ters in Bloomington, 111. These agents met with top executive offiers of the company com-pany in an open forum concerning con-cerning marketing, policyholder service and industry in-dustry and company-developments. company-developments. They discussed not only activity in the life insurance arena, but auto and fire insurance activity ac-tivity as well. State Farm is the world's largest insurer of autos and homes. There are only four out of the other 1900 life insurers in-surers in the U.S. that sold more individuallife insurance insuran-ce policies during 1976. "Our position in the marketplace is attributable to the professional, good neighbor service of agents such as Tom," commented Earle Johnson, State Farm Chief Agency Officer. "Policyholders in the Park City community have a highly competent, customer-oriented customer-oriented representative of our company." Subscribe! Several Present unemployment compensation laws do not provide direct incentives for employes and employers to control unemployment benefit costs. This observation obser-vation was made by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in a study of Utah's unemployment unem-ployment compensation program. . The study points out that unemployment benefits are not subject to Federal and state taxes. As a result, some individuals-especially secondary wage earners in a family-can obtain nearly as much from unemployment benefits as they would receive in take-home pay from gainful employment. Thus, there often is little incentive in-centive for a secondary wage earner to seek new employment once he or she has qualified for unemployment unem-ployment benefits. In addition, Utah is one of the few states that does not use some type of chargeback charge-back system to finance its unemployment benefit program. Although the Utah program is far simpler to administer than a system where unemployment benefit costs are charged back to former employers, it lessens employer interest in reporting fraudulent claims andor abuses in the program. Because the Utah program does not provide direct in- Thefts Jack and Gloria Johnson are the proud parents of a new baby boy.

Mother and baby returned to their Thaynes Canyon home on Monday. Although Justin has not yet been reviewed by the Park City Planning Commission Com-mission it is expected that the elder Johnson will have no problem obtaining a conditional con-ditional use permit for his son. Population densities in the Thaynes Canyon area have created some controversy con-troversy in the past but the Johnsons appear to have sufficient suf-ficient square footage in their house to allow for their second child. No rendering of Justin was available at press time. Reported To Police Dept. Peas Take Prize Nan McPolin's sweet peas have won her another blue ribbon at the Utah State Fair.

Sweet peas are judged on aroma, length of stem, number num-ber of blooms per stem and color. The best results are achieved by using the best seeds and nurturing them in the cold mountain nights. Nan explained that she fell in love with sweet peas in 1932 while recovering in the hospital from an accident. "A friend brought in a bunch of mixed colors and I just couldn't believe the aroma," Nan said. "From that time on I have grown them to send to friends in the hospital." Several thefts were reported repor-ted to the Park City Police Department last week : Two handsaws, a tool belt, a measuring tape and a level were taken from a car belonging to Leroy Darcey of Coalville on September 24 between 8 p.m. and midnight. mid-night. The car was parked on the 600 block of Main Street. One of the new log condominiums con-dominiums in the Crescent Ridge area was burglarized on September 24. Jerry Howels reported that an antique an-tique oak mirror valued at $800 and bedding and linen worth $400 were taken. Police said the burglar gained entrance by breaking a sliding glass door. A Winchester rifle was stolen from an automobile parked at the Utah Coal and Lumber restaurant between 10 and 10:30 p.m. on September Septem-ber 23. The rifle with scope, valued at $300, belongs to John Hayden of Salt Lake City who purchased it the same day it was taken. The rifle was later found hanging from a tree near the Resort Center. A 1974 Triumph TR6 . belonging to Jim Mayhew of Park City was stolen from the Mt.

Main St. Work May Begin City Manager Wayne Matthews Mat-thews reported Monday that the resurfacing of Main Street may begin next week if the street lighting project currently underway proceeds as expected. Matthews said the resurfacing resur-facing should take approximately ap-proximately one week to complete and he asked that residents cooperate by moving their cars off Main Street when the work commences. Fondue Cappuccino, Expresso & Exotic Coffees 402 Main 649-9998 Z Z- Wednesday - Sunday 6-11 5 centives for employees and employers to control unemployment unem-ployment benefit costs, the Foundation report notes that Utah's Employment Security Department has had to take some special steps to limit payments to eligible claimants. Utah expends ex-pends a larger proportion of its administrative budget on benefit control and fraud prevention that is the case nationally. According to the study, the ability of states to crack down on fraudulent claims was severely hampered in 1975 when the U.S. Department Depar-tment of Health, Education, and Welfare stopped the practice of allowing states to cross check unemployment benefit claims against Social Security reports filed by . employers. While it is not now known how much abuse or outright fraud exists in the unemployment insurance insuran-ce program, national estimates have placed the number of illegitimate claims somewhere between one per cent and five per cent of the total case load. Foundation analysts indicate in-dicate that Utah generally has enjoyed excellent administration ad-ministration of its unemployment unem-ployment compensation program and Utah's benefit-cost benefit-cost ratio usually has been below that of the nation as a whole. Nevertheless, the report indicates several problems connected with the program : 1. Utah's law of allowing persons who voluntarily leave work without good cause or refuse suitable employment em-ployment to receive unemployment unem-ployment benefits after only a short postponement is considerably con-siderably more lenient than that of most other states. 2. Although Utah provides for a comprehensive initial interview and periodic interviews in-terviews lor the long-term unemployed, there is no weekly follow-up to determine deter-mine if claimants are actually ac-tually conducting a diligent independent job search to obtain new employment while they are receiving unemployment benefits. The report suggests that the weekly claim certificate might be revised to list the specific efforts that were made during the preceding week to secure new employment. em-ployment. 3. Beginning January 1, 1978, unemployment coverage will be extended to nearly all employes of state and local government, including in-cluding school districts. Because of the peculiarities of school employment, it is anticipated that there may be some problems in administering ad-ministering these new provisions. It is also expected expec-ted that this extension of coverage will increase the cost of state and local government gover-nment in Utah. Let's get a bit more ngm on the subject! I'm Reddy Kilowatt, your friend at Utah Power. Each week, this column is devoted to common questions and suggestions we receive from our customers. cus-tomers. You are warmly invited to participate. Questions and suggestions regarding electricity, your electric service or energy conservation are welcome. Less electricity for cooking How can I save energy when cooking on an electric range? A To avoid wasting electric energy, match the pan size to the size of the surface unit. Also, a pressure cooker requires less time and electricity to cook many foods. Small kitchen appliances can mean an energy savings in preparing small quantities of food. Toasters, waffle bakers, electric grills and skillets usually require less energy than a range when used correctly. cor-rectly. Example: toasting bread In an oven requires three times as much electricity as in a pop-up toaster. Instead of frequent "peeking," use a timer to check oven temperatures. Each time you open the oven door, the temperature drops 25 to 50 degrees. Another way to save in cooking: coun-tertop coun-tertop microwave ovens can mean an energy savings of 25 to 75 percent over conventional oven cooking. Saving on refrigeration Can I save on electricity used for refrigeration? A Refrigerators and freezers run more efficiently when well filled. When half empty, they use more energy, because air is harder to keep cold than chilled foods and liquids ... but foods should be placed slightly apart on refrigerator shelves for proper air circulation. Cover liquids in frost-free units, because moisture is drawn away from uncovered liquids, which makes the refrigerator work hurder. Defrost conventional refrigerators at least twice a month and freezers at least annually. A frost buildup of more than 14 inch makes the cooling unit work harder.
