Show Utah Symphony To Play At Festival The next subscription concert of the Utah Symphony will be given twice, Wednesday and Thursday, November 28th and 29th at 8 p.m. in Kingsbury Hall. For these concerts, which are a part of the University of Utah Festival of Contemporary Music, the orchestra will perform per-form under the baton of Ardean Watts, Associate Conductor. Soloist for the evenings will be the guitar virtuoso, Angel Romero. Works selected for this program pro-gram represent some of the foremost fore-most composers in the mainstream main-stream of contemporary music. The first selection for the evenings even-ings will be Barber's 'First Essay for Orchestra a piece that follows through on a succession suc-cession of simple themes which develop rather freely within rather small dimensions. . The Barber will be followed by an unusual novelty, "And God Created Great Whales by Alar Hovhaness. This work incorporates incor-porates the actual sounds of whales recorded under water and then integrated into a musical setting. (Perhaps a more appropriate approp-riate title for this piece would be Concerto for Whales and Orchestra.) Richard Rodney Bennett will be represented on the program by his "Symphony no. 1 Though fresh and bright with a youthful exuberance, this work shows that contemporary music canbe modern mod-ern without going to the extreme which in some cases tends to characterize contemporary music. Soundings" by Morton Gould is the fourth selection on the program. In the composer's own words "Soundings' probes and explores orchestral textures, and evokes sounds heard and recalled." As an exciting finale to the program, Angel Romero will be soloist to Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" perhaps the most beautiful concerto ever written for guitar and orchestra. Mr. Romero will be making his first appearance with the Utah Symphony in this contemporary concert. Youngest son of the celebrated Romero guitar family, he has quickly ascended into the realm of esteemed guitar virtuosos. r 'A I... A .-.A 7 V.

A permanent supervisor and his family reside in the area, and each summer teams of up to 90 BYU students travel to Puebla to assist with the projects. The pilot program in 1972 had only three projects, but this year it has expanded to 14 projects in villages in the Puebla district.

Orem-Geneva Times Clear Creek Trip Taken By Students On November 20th and 21st the sixth grade at Sharon Elementary Ele-mentary School went on a field trip to Clear Creek. The students visited the cemetery at Scofield and learned many interesting facts. Tuesday afternoon classes were held. There was "Snow Measurement and Weather" taught by Mr. Adams, Ad-ams, "Trees and Plants" taught by Mrs. Greer, 'Animal Tracking" Track-ing" taught by Mr. Abegg, and "Aquatic Insects" taught by Miss Killpack. Tuesday evening was spent by watching outdoor movies . December 6, 1973 and skits performed by the stu- Wednesday, the students visited visit-ed the towns of Clear Creek and Winter Quarters. Mrs. Greer explained the histories of the towns. A mother, Mrs. Anderson, Ander-son, and the bus driver, Mr. Robert Madsen, also assisted on the trip. The trip was enjoyed by all who went.

BYU assistance program is the establishment of small industries indust-ries to help augment the incomes of the families for education and clothing. One such industry which is doing a thriving business is an onyx project which employs twelve families in the manufacture manufact-ure of chess boards and pieces. It was started after BYU College Col-lege of Business representatives studied it for costs, transportation, transpor-tation, and possible markets. To get it started, a private foundation loaned the local workers work-ers the money for cutting and shaping tools, polishing discs, motors, drills, 18 tons of black, brown, gray, and white onyx. The little plant turns out 110 units per week and they are sold throughout the world through an exporter. " Other industries which are being studied are a furniture factory, fact-ory, dress factory, ice cream plant, pottery and turquoise shops. According to Robert Taylor, director of Travel Studies, the BYU agricultural students introduced intro-duced rabbit production into two villages. "We found a need for protein in the diet of the people, peo-ple, and the rabbits provide the nutrition as well as serving as a money industry," he explained. Dr. Ivan Corbridge, professor of agricultural economics, said the BYU teams also have taught the local people to add soybean flour to their tortillas to increase in-crease protein in the diet.

The problem is receiving priority attention at all levels of government, in corporate executive offices, in the news media, and at the family dinner table. It is a complex matter, encompassing all of the major fuels in common use today petroleum, coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Much of the information reaching the public relates to national or regional shortages of electric power. As the supplier of electric energy to over a million people in the Intermountain Area, we are receiving an increasing number of inquiries concerning the status of the energy supply here, and we are taking this advertisement to answer the most frequently asked questions from our customers on this subject. QUESTION: Is there or will there be a shortage of electricity in UP&LCo's area this winter? ANSWER: Barring some unforeseen catastrophy, no. We have an adequate supply of electricity for our customers for the present and foreseeable future. America's coal resources have been estimated to be large enough to last the nation for over 200 years and there are very large deposits of coal in our service area. UP&LCo. uses coal to generate more than 90 percent of the electricity supplied to its customers. Utah's coal is a high quality, low-sulphur fuel, highly prized by electric companies everywhere. QUESTION: The President is asking electric utilities to discontinue burning oil and start burning coal wherever feasible as soon as possible. Has UP&LCo. complied? ANSWER: Yes. As a matter of fact, clue to expiration last year of a contract supplying oil for two units of our Gadsby Plant in Salt Lake City, we changed from oil to coal in September of 1972. These units formerly used about VA million barrels of oil per year. Many electric generating plants in other parts of the nation now burning oil recently converted from high-sulphur coal to low-sulphur oil to meet the new environmental protection regulations relating to sulphur dioxide emissions. Now they are asked to convert back to coal, but many of them have lost their coal supply contracts. We are not faced with that problem. Over 90 percent of the electricity UP&LCo. supplies to customers is being generated using a high quality, low-sulphur coal; about five percent is from hydroelectric generation; the remainder from gas and oil. The only electric generating units using oil are: The oldest units at Gadsby riant; the relatively small and older Jordan Plant (which is used only in emergency situations); and the small Little Mountain gas and oil turbine which supplies both steam ami electricity to a chemical company on the Great Salt Lake. It is not feasible to convert these units to coal. QUESTION: Do you see any problem that could create an energy shortage here? ANSWER: Yes. We could have a shortage by 1977 if certain time-consuming approval procedures are not accelerated. It has become increasingly difficult to get federal government approvals necessary to start construction of additional plants on time. The time required to plan, engineer, build, and bring a new electric generating plant into service has increased by some three years from five to eight years. There is a time-consuming profusion of governmental reviews at every level which must be completed prior to start of construction. Unless we begin construction of a second unit at Huntington by March of 197-1, it is possible that our area will bo short of power in 1977. Such a shortage would be due to too much regulatory delay, not due to a shortage of fuel. Material shortages and labor problems might also delay the completion of new generating facilities. QUESTION: Is it desirable for UP&L customers to reduce their use of electricity? ANSWER: We believe that all energy should be conserved and used prudently and not wasted. Even though we have ample electricity in our area, some utilities are experiencing shortages of electricity for a variety of reasons and are taking emergency measures to limit its use. At this time we are assisting neighboring utilities to meet their shortages which have occurred primarily because drought conditions have resulted in lack of adequate water to operate their hydroelectric generating stations. QUESTION: What happens to the electricity saved by conservation in UP&LCo's service area? ANSWER: The energy saved by UP&L customers is sorely needed by nearby power-short areas, and it is sold to them. QUESTION: Specifically what do you recommend as to electric Christmas decorations? ANSWER: If electric decorations are outside, they should be turned off. It should be noted that electric lighting produces heat; in fact, the heating requirements of some commercial and office buildings are largely met by their lighting. So it is not a waste of electricity to burn lights inside buildings insulated to electric heating standards. QUESTION: What about safety and security lighting should this kind of lighting be turned off? ANSWER: The President has requested eliminating outdoor decorative lighting. Electric post lights and area lights, automatically controlled to come on at dusk and go off at dawn, were designed and sold by UP&LCo. to provide safety and security. If a customer who has had one of these lights installed decides that he did it for decorative purposes rather than safety, he is the one best qualified to make this decision. QUESTION: What is UP&LCo. doing to provide an adequate supply of electricity in the future? ANSWER: We are actively pursuing plans which will provide adequate electric energy for our growing economy and population. We have sites selected, fuel and water, and equipment on order for the next three generating units which should be adequate to meet our customers' requirements through the early 1980s; and we are prepared to meet all present environmental requirements for these plants. We also have long range plans to provide electricity needed in the future. We are actively pursuing plans to make geothermal steam generation a reality for our area. Our research and development efforts are directed toward assuring our customers full benefit from any technological advances in the generation of power, including nuclear and solar energy. It has long been the policy of our company to discourage waste of materials, supplies, and energy, and that policy was re-emphasized earlier this year. In recognition of the existing energy situation locally and nationally, we have adopted the slogan: "Use what you need but need what you use." And this sums up our message to our customers.
