All outdoor activities, however, are affected by weather in varying degrees and a sound understanding of the varied ramifications of weather will assist all outdoor recreationists in making their activities safe and enjoyable. Recognizing the importance of boaters possessing skills in reading weather signs and knowing how to cope with adverse weather, the Utah Slate Division of Parks and Recreation requested Bill Chapman, .v- -kt meteorologist-in-charg- of e the National Weather Service to provide the following information about summer winds, as they relate particularly to northern Utah. Tricky hazardous summer winds in northern Utah: Most strong, gusty winds in Utah and the Intermountain area i general are associated w. cold fronts and squall lines. This is true both summer and i winter. winter it usually requires a strong, HOWEVER, cold front, with a low pressure storm cell to create the stronger wind fields.

The report notes that many Americans consistently underestimate the amount of Federal taxes paid by those in the higher income brackets, and suppose that the solution to government's continual need for increased revenue can be found in collecting more taxes from those with high incomes. The Foundation report li: ; .1 follow ing facts which were drawn from a recently-release- d Federal Internal Revenue Service analysis of 1976 Federal income tax returns: -- OF THE 5,549 tax returns reporting adjusted gross incomes of $500,000 or more in 1976, all but six (0.1) paid a Federal income tax. The average tax for e the 5,543 taxpayers in this group was $506,929, or 65 of their taxable income. and exemptions have a far in effect reducing the tax burden greater for persons in the lower income brackets than they do for persons in the upper income brackets.

As a result, a uniform tax rate of 21.1 would produce the same amount of revenue as is now received from the steeply progressive Federal tax rates. -- DURING THE 1976 tax year 84.5 million individuals filing Federal tax returns throughout the United States paid a total of $142 billion in income taxes, or an average of $1,678 per return.

Eleven deaths and 244 injuries resulted from this mobile home destruction. If not anchored to the devices, ground with mobile homes can be rolled over or collapsed by winds often occurring with severe thunderstorms. Such winds may exceed 70 miles per hour and can also cause the structure to turn end over end. Strong canyon winds are always a real threat here in Utah and they too can cause the same results. n MANUFACTURERS of mobile homes are required to furnish attachments n with every unit, but it is estimated that less than 50 percent of the equipment is used.

WHAT MYSTIFIES historians and critics is how three young women, living in virtual isolation, far off on the English Yorkshire moors, could know so much of life. Though not one of the sisters lived past 40, and only Charlotte ever made friends or married, they were among the first female writers to expose the raging conflict between love and honor, love and duty, love and lust. They were the first to show that women not only were the objects of mens passions, but experienced passions of their own. THOUGH the Brontes, surely invented the romantic aspects of their stories (perhaps to fill the gaps in their personal lives), they knew much of human emo- tion. Their mother died while they were quite young. Two adolescent sisters succumbed to tuberculosis. An only brother died of alcoholism and drug addiction, ed and Emily and Ann only long enough to wrue a few haunting books. CHARLOTTE, the sister with the survival instinct, fell skies. THE SQUALL line can move very rapidly with speeds up to 45 mph. High winds, high lightning activity and heavy rainfall usually are associated with the squall line thunderstorms. The strongest ust winds occur before the onset of rain. High, gusty winds, with summer cold fronts and squall lines, originate as a combination of the storm wind field and downdrafts from individual thunderstorm type cloud cells. Because of this, the peak gusts with the storm front can be quite variable. There can be skip zones with one area receiving gusts of 40 mph and another area gusts of 70 mph.

So the Brontes, in their own lives, experienced a wide range of dramatic situations. They were tied to a large house, threatened by poverty and the vulnerability of Victorian women. Their daily lives were dominated by an eccentric father and an unpredictable brother.

IN ing winds. We have more of a hold on the stronger cold wars, political intrigue, exploration and adventure. Most women know the feeling of dependence on a male. And for many, the fear of mental illness has lurked in the The need to explore these themes leads women to read the type of romantic mystery novel at which the Brontes excelled. DESPITE their genius, this sort of writing took a heavy toll on the women. Charlotte Bronte wrote about her desire to give up writing of a highly ojnative nature. lo to quit for awhile that burning clime where we have sojourned so long - its skies aflame - the glow of sunset is almost always upon it the mind would cease from excitement and turn now to a cooler region where the dawn breaks grey and sober, and the coming day for a time at least is subdued by clouds. i . -- IT WAS difficult to convince publishers that readers wanted to hear what the Brontes were saying. When Charlotte sent her first novel to Robert Southey, poet laureate of England, for appraisal, he warned, "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be. The more she is engaged in her proper duties, the less leisure will she have for it as an accomplishment and a recreation. The Brontes went on writing, probably because they couldnt help themselves. And eventually their name far overshadowed that of Poet Laureate Southey. Jane ITS FUN to Eyre and Wuthering Heights and understand more deeply what they mean. Its also interesting to guess what Charlotte, Emily and Anne would be writing if they were alive today. Their stories might be similar though updated. Rather than draw a portrait of an innocent, vulnerable girl who falls in love with the lord of the manor, they would probably reveal the true story of that insane wife locked in the attic. d THE BLOWING dust is caused by drier soil and high gusty winds. This type system is much more difficult to track by surface observations, radar and satellite. They frequently develop quite rapidly between Wendover and Salt Lake Valley. Their oncoming signal to the surface observer is usually blowing dust observed in the distance along the frontal zone. THE COLD front that struck the Salt Lake Valley and Great Salt Lake area Sunday, June 18, was a weak cold front with minimal moisture associated with it. A few light showers had been noted in western and central Nevada during the early morning hours of the 18th, but these moved northeastward and dissipated in southern Idaho. The cold front had a weak type pressure pattern associated with it and little wind as it proceeded through eastern Nevada. By the time it reached Wendover, some gustiness in the winds began to show up. CAREFUL monitoring of the Automatic Weather Station that is located at Wendover has been very useful to the Salt Lake City forecasters in detecting storm growth as storm systems approach and move east of Wendover. In addition to our Automatic Weather Station, we have backup at the Utah Highway Patrol Weighing Station at Wendover. To monitor the storms movement in more detail east of Wendover, the forecaster has to rely on eyeball readout by cooperative weather spotters at Knolls Junction and Timple. They estimate tentially high, gusty winds that will be in excess of 55 mph, he will immediately issue a high wind warning. A high wind warning for Salt Lake Valley, Great Salt Lake and Bear Lake was issued at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 18. Peak winds in excess of 52 mph were estimated at the Salt Lake Airport around 2: 30 p.m. and peak gusts 60 to 70 mph were estimated over Great Salt Lake at about the same time. ONCE A high wind warning is issued by the Weather Forecast Office at the Salt Lake Airport, what type of relay is made by the weather forecasters? After issuing the wind warning for a specific area the forecaster and his assistants will take the following action: Notify the Salt Lake City airport tower and Salt Lake City airport control center; place the aviation and public wind warning on the national weather teletype circuits for other station use; place on the local weather teletype circuit that connects to most radio for T.V. and stations immediate broadcast; put onto the national weather service VHF-Fcontinuous weather radio broadcast, (The Radio has a VHF-F- warning tone alert system, and is capable of built-i- n miles north reaching and south of its antenna at Bacchus, Utah.); put onto the Utah Parks and Recreation automatic telephone system for boaters and also put onto a public automatic telephone system; State Park rangers at each lake or reservoir are then notified by telephone of the warning; the Forest Service Ranger at Flaming Gorge is called and the U.S. Park Service ranger at Lake Powell is called when storms threaten their area. 40-5- 0 ON THE receipt of warnings by park or lake rangers, boaters are notified by the ranger that a warning has been issued and the boats should orderly take shelter. If a large sailboat is caught out on the lake when the high winds are approaching, most can ride out the storm safely if they drop sails quickly and cast anchor to hold the boat into the higher wave action created by the wind. If an anchor is not feasible, slow motor power can hold the boat head on or normal to the wave action. Smaller boats should seek shelter im- mediately, whenever wind gusts reach 30 to 55 mph. Before heavy lightning storms hit, it is always a safe rule for all boats to get off large lakes or reservoirs. The higher masts of sailboats make excellent striking points for lightning.
