The findings are the result of a national survey conducted by University of Massachusetts Professors James D. Wright and Peter H. Rossi. Wright and Rossi, of the universitys Social and Demographic Research Institute in Amherst, interviewed 1,874 imprisoned felons at facilities across the nation between August 1982 and January 1983. The felons were asked about their experiences and opinions of the criminal justice system, fire- - arms and crime. The survey was funded with a 1397,000 grant from the 13 S. Justice Department, and the data were released in June. data Analysis of the Wright-Ross- i by the National Rifle Association shows; 82 percent of the felons said only citizens obey gun laws; 88 percent said criminals could easily obtain handguns, outside of prison, regardless of expense and local and federal ordinances; 69 percent of the felons who said they did not carry or use firearms during crime cited the risk of harsher prison terms as a primary reason. Instead they used knives, clubs, brass knuckles, etc.; 74 percent of the felons said smart criminals avoid occupied dwellings for fear of getting shot by occupants; 57 percent of the felons said criminals are more afraid of armed citizens than police; 89 percent of the felons said they knew at least one colleague or peer who had been shot or scared off by an armed citizen. Additionally, the study showed that 50 percent of the felons who used guns said they expected to purchase guns through unregulated and illegal means when they were released. Another 25 percent said they would borrow firearms and said they would steal them. The results of the study also refute claims that the "Saturday is the firearm Night Special preferred by most criminals. Legislation to ban Saturday Night Specials defines the firearms as inexpensive handguns with barrel lengths of three inches or less and calibers of .32 or less. The data show: Approximately 70 percent of the felons said their last handguns had barrels longer than three inches and calibers greater than .32.

It is the first Dick Nourse Cancer Kick Soccer Tournament, set for the week of August 19 through the 24th. The competition will take place on several levels. The state will be divided into about 12 regions. Each member of the winning teams will receive a medal, each player in the tourney will receive a tournament patch. KSL will fly Dick Nourse and Bob Welti to the regional tournaments to present awards to the winning teams.

A bituminous seal coat is a thin layer of specialized pavement which is placed on the highway to seal the highway surface against air and moisture deterioration and to extend the life of the road. It also improves traction and provides the best possible driving surface for motorists. The first project will seal coat a one mile section of US-- 6 in Payson. Low bidder was W.W. Clyde and Co., at $56,248. The second job involves seal coating three miles of State Route 41, Nephi Main Street. Cox Rock Products of Centerfield was low bidder at $179,315. W.W. Clyde was again low bidder on the project to seal coat 13 miles of State Route 50 near Delta, at $153,017. The final project involves a 7.7 mile section of State Route 24 near Sigurd. Hales Sand and Gravel of Elsinore was the low bidder with $112,800. The cost of these projects comes from UDOTs maintenance fund. The Legislature has mandated that e $12 million from UDOTs m f budget be spent this ytar on state maintenance projects that are put out to bid to the private sector. This is being done in an effort to determine whether certain types of maintenance work can be accomplished more economically by state forces or by private industry hr iten-anc- Horse Trailers Horse Feeds Fencing Material Custom Made Saddles 670 South Main Richfield, Utah 84701 Don Maxfield offenders prefer .38 s and ,357's the same handguns used by most law enforcement officers. Additionally, 72 percent of the repeat handgun offenders said if a handgun ban were enacted and handguns became impossible to obtain, they would switch to sawed-of- f shotguns and rifles. Wright called that prospect frightening, in light of the greatly increased lethal capacities of sawed off long guns.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor, As chairman of the Salina City Civic Betterment Committee, I would like to thank all of our cooperative citizens who helped to make our 4th of July a big success. It would be appropriate to mention the names of everyone who helped, but the list would be long and there is always the danger of leaving out the names of persons. The major events were taken care of by organizations who did an outstanding job. The fire department had charge of the games and fireworks and deserve a commendation; the Lions Club did a fine job with our parade; the Riding Club put on a very good rodeo; major concessions were handled by Salina Third Ward and the American Legion. Again, thanks to all who helped. Nyals T. Andreason 4780-800- payments especially as it relates to toe amount in arrears. If, after discussions with ORS sUff members, the differences are not satisfactorthe ily resolved, parent may request a formal hearing before an impartial administrative law judge where the facts of the case can be examined. The law specifies due process both from the standpoint of Re- covery Services' obligations and rights the absent parent has. Once the conditions of due process have been met, if they are not resolved, an order is delivered to the employer of the parent. That order directa the employer to withhold child support from the parents wages and to forward that amount to the Office of Recovery Services. Abbott stated that, "The wage withholding law is needed because the majority of noncustodial parents dont pay support, and the cost of their failure to pay that support has become prohibitive to the Utah State taxpayer. The utilization of the wage withholding provision and a wide range of other child support services is free to the Effective July I, 1965, a person refusing to pay child support could find himself with his wages garnisheed. The new wage withholding law, passed by the Legislature in January 1985, went into effect on that date. The purpose of the law is to strengthen the financial position of a divorced parent who has custody of the children. John P. Abbott, Director of the Office of Recovery Services, said, Only about 5 percent of the parents make regular and on time monthly child support payments through our office over a year's period of time." He went on to say that, What may be ev.:i more alarming is the fact that about 75 percent of the absent parents make no monthly contribution at all to support their children. He added that approximately 25 percent pay sporadically. The wage withholding law will help change that trend, and provide more regular support for needy children. Heres how it will work: If the parent who owes the obligation fails to pay his child support payments (for an accumulated 30 days), the Office of Recovery Services will send a warning notice to that individual. It will inform the individual an arrearage exists and how much his monthly payment must be. The absent parent will then have a chance to point out any errors, public. Custodial parents experiencing difficulty in obtaining regular monthly support payments may or apply by calling toll free outside of the Salt Lake City area. 483-61- RICHARD B.
