Show Bluebell DUP Camp Ends Successful Year Mulchings Museum Board Reviews Accomplishments At the first of the year the board of directors of the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History in Lehi met to review last years work and try and make plans for 1972. The present picture looks bright if the people of Lehi will support it. It seemed as though we were not taking in enough money to pay our bills, let alone making the necessary improvements to display the rest of the collection, including many more minerals in crystal form, and a lovely collecSea Island of South tion materials, from Fiji, Tiawan, Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand, and Tonga. It was suggested that we start endowment an the fund, proceeds of which would be put in the bank on interest. The principal of the fund to be left intact, and only the interest could be used. That the endowment fund be expanded each year until we reach about $40,000.00 It was felt by the directors that the interest from this fund, plus the door receipts, would amply finance the operation of the Museum. The board of directors appointed Alex Brown as chairman of the Endowment Fund. He chose Virgil Peterson as an assistant and the two men went to work and made the following report. This year they have collected $6,550.00 in cash- - have promises of $1350.00 more to be paid this fall. $5,525.00 being paid on a yearly basis, making a total of $13,425.00 in cash and pledges. Your committee believes that the pledges and cash will be collected in full. Besides this amount of money and pledges the Board of Directors put on a "Salmon Bake" which netted the museum a little over $1300.00. This money was turned over to the museum fund for current expenses. We feel if this endowment fund is supported by the people of Lehi, it will only be a year or two before we have sufficient money from the interest, to supplement the door receipts. We hope that the people in Lehi will have enough pride in the finest museum in the State (so say the critics from out of town and state) located right here in our hometown to support your endowment committee in raising these funds. All donations are tax deductable. Mr. Peterson and Mr. Brown are dedicated to the task and will continue at it till it is finished. Help them with a sizable donation. This program means so much to the continued operation of the museum, which in the past you have so loyally supported.

We are delighted with the support of the schools, every school district in Utah has been represented, and we have had schools from Idaho , New York and Vermont. We were surprised at one time to have a whole family from California who were traveling on motorcycles. But the greatest surprise came when the Hutchings Museum received a letter from the directors of the Great Britian Natural Hisory co. and invited Mr. and Mrs. Hutchings to attend the greatest Natural History sale in the world at Hamstead, Town Hall, Haverstick Hill London where admission was by invitation only. The letter stated that the British Natural History Co. would assist anyone attending United from outside the Kingdom by making all travel accomodations. hotel and Special air charter facilities were made for visitors from America, Australia, and the Far East. However, on account of Mr. Hutchings physical condition they could not go. The Museum was also featured this year in a moving picture put on by the Jordan High School seniors entitled "One Head Well Done" which was televised.

The latest bill to head for the legislative hopper is titled the Consumer Protection Automobile Liability Law, drafted by the Utah Trail Lawyers Association. An earlier no fault bill was written by the no fault insurance sub committee of the Utah Legislative Council. The sub committee was headed by State Senator E. LaMar Buckner, manager of an Ogden insurance or surety bond providing a minimum of $5000 coverage for property damage in any one accident. Under terms of the consumer insurance policyholders bill, would be protected against arbitrary cancellation or non renewal of their policies for any reason other than non payment of premiums. A policyholder would also be protected against an increase in rates or a decrease in coverage "unless the increase in premium or reduction in coverage is part of a general change approved by the state department of insurance." If an insurance company intends to increase rates, decrease coverage, or terminate a policy, the company must follow these rules: "An insurer (insurance company) intending to take an action of subject to the provisions this law (rate increase, coverage decrease, or termination of insurance) shall, on or before 45 days prior to the effective date of the proposed action, send written notice by certified mail to the last known address of the insured. That notice shall state in clear and specific terms; (1) The agency. The consumer protection bill is a far reaching measure, touching on many angels of Utah's automobile insurance problems. It is designed, according to its backers, "to place the consumer first in modernizing our insurance laws." The consumer protection no fault bill contains the following major provisions: Makes it mandatory for all insurance policies issued in the state to have a first party (no fault) clause or to require a no fault bond (in the case of self to be taken, insurers) to cover medical and proposed action if is ... loss of income benefits, with a maximum total reimbursement not to exceed $2500. According to a national Department of Transportation study, this $2500 reimbursement would cover ap- proximately 95 percent of medical and income losses, where the losses resulted from an automobile accident. Medical reimbursement would be based on actual costs, while loss of income would for reimbursement provide reasonable household expenses, not to exceed $10 per day. The proposed law would also provide benefits of up to $1000 per person for funeral, burial or cremation expenses, and a death benefit of $2000 per person, payable to the heirs of the deceased. Requires benefits under the no fault policy to be paid by the insurance company "without reference to fault." The bill specifically states that under no condition in the no fault measure would the pedestrian, motorist or automobile owner lose the right to sue another person in court if the injured person feels that medical or loss of income benefits or property has damage reimbursement been insufficient or unfair. Such and reimbursement liability would then be decided court, as at present. by the The proposed law states that "no fault benefits are payable monthly as loss accrues." fits would be considered overdue if not paid within 30 days after proot ol injury or damage has been given to the insurance company. In certain cases of accrued losses, the insurance company would be required to make reimbursement within 45 days after the losses begin. Overdue payments that is, payments no made within the 30 or 45 days as defined in the law would bear interest at the rate of 18 percent per annum, payable to the injured person. The consumer no fault bill would require every automobile owner or diver to carry insurance (or a surety bond in the case of self insurers) in the amount of not less than $20,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, and $40,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more persons in any one accident. the proposed law Similarly, would require liability insurance the cluding, action habits, living conditions, poor morals, or violations or accident record' shall not suffice to meet the requirements of this section of the law." If an insurance policyholder wants to oppose or protest the insurance company's proposed action, he may file a protest with the state insurance commissio- - ZMz agency agreements, or arbitrary cancellation of policies sold by the Utah agent or broker. Other sections of the proposed consumer protection no fault bill would clarify the rights of policyholders, insurance companies, insurance agents and brokers, and would outline various procedures to be followed in injury cases, such as the methods to be followed in medical examinations and other similar actions.

Generalized terms, such as 'personal who may then allow disallow the company's proposed action following a hearing if the commissioner deems a hearing necessary. No change in policy premiums or coverage could be made until the commissioner had made his decision. The policyholder would have to pay his premiums at the previous rate during the protest period if he wanted to keep the insurance in force. If either party did not agree with the commissioner's ruling, he could then appeal the case to District Court.
