SENATOR Karl Swan reports that the Social Services Committee of which he is a member has been considering a number of sensitive areas of the states budget. For example the committee must decide how much of an increase to provide welfare recipients. He says requests range from the Governors recommendation of an increase equalling 73 percent up to 100 percent. Welfare recipients, themselves, indicate that about an 80 percent increase is what they need. E. Representative John Smith, vice chairman of the Social Services Subcommittee stated Thursday morning that states there is a request to establish an emergency fund within the welfare department. The need for such a fund is pointed up by the example of a mother on welfare whos doctor advises a change in diet for her baby but who is unable to provide the new foods. A number of private and religious welfare leaders as well as state welfare officials are asking for the new fund to cover special needs. SENATOR SWAN states that the number of people on welfare has slowed. A year ago legislators were very much alarmed at the rate of increase in requests for welfare aid. He said, however, that such economic problems as those caused by the closing of the Tooele Smelter had not yet made themselves felt in demands for assistance. SUNDAY, JANUARY 23 As subcommittees go forward with their work proposals are both made and defeated. Senator Swan said for that requests for example money to train prison guards in correctional procedures was cut in half by a straight party line vote Thursday morning. Senator Swan reports that the new bonding program for outdoor recreational facilities includes improvements for the Bonneville Salt Flat Raceway. Also included would be money for a racing museum there. Another benefit expected for Tooele County would be improvements to Danger Cave near Wendover to make it a better tourist attraction. THE SENATOR says he is watching closely recommended improvements to facilities near the Great Salt Lake including the Antelope Island State Park. Rep. Smith. who is a member of the powerful legislative shifting committee reports a growing pile of bills that will likely be eliminated by his committee. Senator Swan indicates that he believes there will be an extended session because of the need to pass an acceptable legislative reapportionment bill. He reports a second reapportionment measure has been introduced which is largely a rehash of one considered last session. W hen your door!ie!l nogs tint week answer it.
