Levine's study has appeared in a number of scientific publications, issue roost recently in of American Scientist. Levine and a group of student assistants measured four factors to assess pace of life: the speed at which bank tellers fulfilled a re- the the-curre- quest for change, the walking speed of downtown pedestrians, the talking speed of postal clerks and the proportion of people wearing wristwatches. To measure walking speed, the researchers marked off a segment of sidewalk in a downtown area and timed pedestrians as they traveled it. To gauge the pace of working life, they timed bank tellers at eight or more banks as they made change for two $20 bills or gave two $20 bills for change. The researchers asked postal clerks to explain the difference 60-fo- ot between regular mail, certified mail and insured mail, recorded their responses and then calculated speaking rate by dividing the total number of spoken syllables by total response time. Finally, they measured the proportion of people wearing in downtown areas during business hours to assess concern with time. Levine admits the measures are wrist-watch- Ronald Lynn Petersen Funeral services pending, to be Morannounced by Sundberg-Olpiof Orem. tuary n fast-pace- d, whereas the West Coast is a little more relaxed." And when Levine compared pace of life rates to coronary heart disease rates, he found a significant correlation. "The pace of life is a much more complicated subject ... but it seems to work out on an overall level," Levine said. "There was a strong tendency for faster cities to have higher rates of death from coronary heart disease. "Our data suggest that the pace of a person's environment is at least as good a predictor of heart disease as his or her score on a type-personality test," he said. But Salt Lake City presents an anomaly. It ranks high in pace of life, but fairly low in the rate of coronary heart disease, Levine said. A "Salt Lake City did not follow the rule," he said. Levine cited Utah's low rate of cigarette smoking, which is associated with heart disease and psychological stress. Beyond that, Levine couldn't explain why Salt Lakers seem to be in such a hurry compared to other Western cities. Consultants studying feasibility of extending runway into bay By CHRISTI C. EVANS Herald Staff Writer Consultants hired by the Provo Municipal Airport have begun collecting information to prepare an environmental assessment of ex1 into Provo tending Runway Bay. During a meeting of the Provo Airport Board Tuesday, representatives of Science Applications International Corporation said the assessment should be completed by June of 1991. A record of decision on the project should then be issued by the Federal Aviation Administration by June of 1992. The extension, scheduled for completion in about six years, will provide 1,509 extra feet of runway. Environmental assessment costs will be paid through a $131,920 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration and $13,143 from the Provo airport budget. Jim Rogers, scientist with SAIC, said the company is now in the "data gathering" phase and is 13-3- mapping biological information around the airport. In addition to the wetlands issue, species such as the peregrine falcon, bald eagle and June sucker have been identified in the area and must be addressed, Rogers said. Noise assessments, archaeologiic cal surveys and studies wiU also be performed, he said. During its information collection, SAIC must determine who owns the land beneath the lake where the extension would occur, Rogers said. "That's something I think that possibly legal counsel will have to look into," he said. socio-econom- Jim Mathis, airport manager, said some residents in the area have been paying property taxes on parcels to which they claim ownership. "Nobody has ever defined how much they own," he said. "What's outside of the dike (surrounding the airport) is what's going to have to be resolved," Mathis said. Dick Bastian, board member, Widdison retiring from service with Springville By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Herald Staff Writer Velda R. Widdison will conclude 26 years of service with Springville City at the end of this month when she retires from her position as city trea- surer.

Widdison and moved with her husband to Springville in 1950, purchasing the home where they still live. She was hired by Springville City in 1964, working in a small, temporary office at 195 S.

We wrote them on slips of paper and sent them to Salt Lake City for preparation," she said. asked if the extension could be prohibited, particularly if the land was determined to be owned by the state or the federal government. Bastian said he felt uneasy spending money on something that may end up being unfeasible. Dave Gunn, public services director, said he felt the airport has "excellent" congressional and legislative sponsorship and problems could be worked out through those representatives. A public meeting for concerned individuals and groups to air their concerns about the project has been scheduled for Dec. 10, Rogers said. "Our approach is to involve the public early," he said, so all concerns can be addressed and included in the final environmental impact statement. nam wi II a sn mm Nov 11 witn . .: .i . r t:i Wildlife Service and the Army Corps of Engineers, Rogers said.

You're living a Type A lifestyle and it shows. Your hurried-u- p pace of life ranks right up there with that of Bostonians, Buffalonians and New Yorkers, according to a California psychologist. It's a good thing the smoking rate is low in Salt Lake City and that it's a relatively peaceable city, otherwise a lot more residents would be dropping dead from heart attacks, says Robert V. Levine, a psychology professor at California State University, Fresno. Levine, who has studied the pace of life and the incidence of coronary disease in 36 U.S. cities, has concluded Utah's capital city qualifies as a "Type A" kind of place. "I'm trying to identify some facets about the quality of our lives," Levine said. "The pace of life is part of the psychological quality of life." According to Levine, Salt Lake City has the fourth-faste- st pace of life, right behind Boston, Buffalo and New York City.
