Projects ranged from an experiment with extra-sensory perception (none of the subjects semed to have any) to a demonstration of the power of the fulcrum in lifting heavy objects. One potential homemaker won an award for a study on the effect of different types of detergents on common types of stains. Another project attracted a lot of attention by challenging onlookers to race a trained gerbil through a maze.

(tie) Government loan could take commuters for a cheap ride If you commute to or from Salt Lake City in your own car, it could be costing you up to $17 a day by the time you figure in gas, car maintenance, main-tenance, depreciation and insurance. In a 250-day work year, that's more than $4,000. If you belonged to a van pool, it could cost you as little as $2 a day to make the Historical Society membership growing Park City residents have enthusiastically responded to the Park City Historical Society membership drive, demonstrating support of efforts ef-forts to document, restore, and preserve the town's colorful past. Invitations to join (layed out by local artist Marianne Cone) were distributed to an extensive mailing list and local box holders. Local newspapers reinforced recruitment re-cruitment efforts by printing "clip and send" membership applications. Although the membership drive goal of 500 has not yet been reached, society president presi-dent Tika Beard expressed appreciation to all who have responded so far and she said she is optimistic about reaching the 500 member goal.

The Science Fair was followed fol-lowed at 7 p.m. by a school to explain to interested residents resi-dents how they could get a commuter program on the road. According to UDOT transportation trans-portation analyst Bob Parry, the federal government will lend citizens who form a nonprofit non-profit corporation 90 percent of the funds necessary to purchase vans to operate a , commuter pool. It is an. interest-free loan with up to a 48-month repayment schedule. To be eligible for the loan, the organization must purchase at least three vans. Parry said the first van pool loan in the country was given about a year and a half ago, with the first Utah organization receiving funds last May. "It has been very successful," success-ful," Parry said. "I have heard of only one group in the country where payments on the van were delinquent." Parry said he suggested that a commuter pool corporation cor-poration purchase the largest vans possible 15-passenger 15-passenger vehicles to derive de-rive the greatest economic advantage. (He pointed out that any vehicle over 15 passengers would be labeled Preschool egg hunt coming The Park City Preschool's annual fund raising event, "The Easter Egg Hunt" will be on Saturday, April 18, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Prospector Square Athletic Club.

The corporation must be non-profit, he said, but it could charge a fee that could offset the van and insurance payments, and even the services of a mechanic and a bookkeeper.

Parry and Park City transportation supervisor Jan Sylvester will hold the van pool meeting on Friday, April io from 5-6 p.m. in the Memorial Building. Parry said once interested citizens have formed a non-profit association, they then would make application for the loan to UDOT. The decision on the funding would be made by the state transportation transpor-tation commission, which meets twice a month. "It's a good program that has shown a lot of success," Parry said. "I would encourage en-courage anyone who travels often to or from the Salt Lake valley to come to the meeting meet-ing and find out how they can organize a van pool."
