The study of Kennecott Copper Corporations Garfield smelter and Anaconda Companys Tooele operation will get under way in late February or early March, a USPHS official said today. George J. Butler, chief of the Western Area Occupationof Health al Laboratory USPHS, said the study will examine sulfur dioxide emissions and will look for other health hazards such as dust, toxic noise and chemical agents. Butler estimated the study, which will include medical examinations of employes at the smelters, could take two years or more. smelters throughout Montana.

HUSKY OIL CONTRACT RATIFIED BY UNION NORTH SALT LAKE been consistently higher eer since. He said one reason for the decline in Utah unemployment is the large number rt women and young people who have entered the states labor force. Harding explained that these job seekers are often secondary sources of family income and when jobs are scarce, they dont actively seek employment. The number of newcomers to the labor force has slowed down as job openings have decreased, Harding added. This lag in attempts to join the labor force is more evident in Utah than nationally, he said. The smtes job struct me also has to do with the lessening unemployment, Harding said. The national recession, he said, has been most pro-- n o u n c e d in the g area, especially manufacturing where employment is down 7 per cent from a year ago, compared to Utahs loss of only 2 per cent. he said, Manufacturing, accounts for 28 per cent of the countrys wage and salary total, but is only 15 per cent of the Utah nonfarm payroll employment. strike against Husky A new contract ending a Oil Co. by Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers, AFL-CILocal 2578, was unanimously ratified by union members here Friday night.

Helping a person to feel that you understand his feelings reduces tendon and negative responses in conflict situations. Young people can develop others how skills in understanding things are from a parental point of view. Parents can modify rules when necessary. When both go more than halfway in seeking to unders and, a basis for compromise is established. W hen adults respect young people and their ideas the yotme can respond, dis-c- r s and learn to communicate more honestly. They learn how to be mature from the adult example of patience, respect and honesty in expressing the feelings that lie behind ones behavior. ; i |
