Rules Of The Slopes Skiing remains one of the most popular winter pastimes. More than 53 million skiers hit the slopes during 4 the Season, according to the National Ski Area Association. However, the Utah Safety Council reminds you that skiing also can be a dangerous pastime, so remember the following safety rules as you hit the 1993-199- slopes: When skiing downhill, give moving skiers below the right of way. You should be able to see them since they might not see you. Stop on the side of a ski run, not in the middle. Look both ways before crossing atrail. Before passing another skier, shout "on your left," or "on your right." At thebottom ofa run, be careful to stay out of the way of other skiers coming down behind you. Help keep the slopes hazard-fre- e. After afall, fill in any depressions you made in the snow. And, ifyou see branchesordebrison the run, remove them, if possible. Use a safety device to prevent runaway skis. On a lift or tow, learn to carry your poles by the shafts so that they can be discarded in case of any emergency.

FmHA has a special loan program foryoung people at least 10 years but less than 21 years-ol- d who need financing to get started in their first money-makienterprise. ng FmHA's Youth Project Loans are make specifically to young people participating in an organized program work such as clubs. Future Farmers of America, or similar organiza4-- H tion. These loans help young people establish and operate income production projects related to their club or organization. The project must be planned with the assistance of an advisor and operated under their guidance. Loan funds are traditionally used by students to buy calves or lambs and fattening them for market or to put in acrop and selling the results of the harvest. However, loans can be used for a variety of purposed as long as they produce sufficient net income to repay the loan and provide the youth the educational experience of successfully conducting a business operation. Loans for Youth Projects are made through FmHA's farm operating loan programs. While most of the loans go for agricultural activities, they can be used for many other projects, including repair shops, catering services, craft sales, roadside stands, and many other enterprises. However, projects must be modest in scope and size, in keeping with school-relate- d activities. Getting the capital to start and operate business is part of the experience. Our young borrowers must sign a Promissory Note and become personally responsible for repaying the loan with interest. They must pledge their produce or chattel property including livestock, equipment and fixtures as security for the loan.
