Paul Hutchings, director Region III office, said the best way to break the abjse and neglect cycle is for to begin workers dit(pion working with families immediately. lie noted that state law requires any person with the knivledge of suoh violations ofjne th-- t to report it immediately. The' telephone numbers are during the evening, onrj rjovtimo indicated " that Hutchings his office received during July 200 referrals of child abuse and neglect situations involving childrPn. During August 150 referrals were received, with 120 during Sepfember. The normal average prior to this time has been 80 referrals per month. He attributed part of the referral increase to the fact that more children are at the summer home during months and are visible to the public who observe negiect and abuse taking place. The director said his concern is that many of the neglect and abuse situations 1 will go unnoticed during the winter months , and :.e challenged the community to be on lookout for children wo are hunqry, scantily-clotheleft alone and unsupervised, who are with no medical care, and those who are physically abused. The warning signs for such abuse include frequent and accidents poorly explained children, involving bums, bites, bruises, and depression or serious illness resulting from prescribed medicine not being given. Hutchings said many persons fail to call the division because of fear of reprisal. He gave a plea for people to call even if it requires that they be anonymous. 4 Million Labels Student Inventor's Car Prize-Winni- ng Wilt Be Displayed car that burns pure hydroentrant gen, the in She national Urban Vehicle Design Competition, will go on prize-winnin- g diilay Friday at Aljda, to$ p.m. 777 S.

He believes that these costs can be expected to come down with better technology in the next few years, but it will probably always cost at least $200 to $300 for the fuel tank. On refilling the hydrogen tanks, he said: Hydrogen is very easy to transport through highly pressurized pipe lines underground. Many of the 0 refueling will depend on the fuel storage system which is ultimately used. It is possible to conceive, however, a system where hydrogen is piped from the reactor site to service stations.

Tne Legislature, apparently cannot do anything to define further just what individual properties shall be exempted for these reasons, because this is the responsibility of the courts, the governor said. Vernon L. Holman, Tax Commission chairman, said Salt Lake County Treasurer Sid Lambourne apparently has removed many cLurch welfare and related properties from tax rolls acting under instruction from the County Commission. County Attorney Carl J. Nemelka has advised the County Commission that it has no authority to remove such properties from the tax rolls. L More 1st add Tax The County Commission, sitting as a board of equalization, can only aujirit the amount of valuation fixed by the eou..ty assessor but cannot remove tiie property from the tax rolls, Nemelka said. Rampton said he will try to get a copy of Nemelkas opinion and study it with a view to recommending possible changes in the law. County Assessor Earl M.. Baker had placed the welfare farms and other properties formerly exempted on the tax roils. Nemelka felt that the only recourse to property owners who felt that their properties should be exempted was to pay their taxes under protest and appeal to the courts. Normally, taxpayers appeal to the Tax Commission from decisions by the County Commission sitting as a board of equalization. . Mi's Constitution d's CLYDE L. MILLER Secretary of State r .
