JUNIOR OLYMPICS 3 WINNERS awBs o&ainitfy KesBdeinitis eadDimg More Books FARMINGTON Davis County residents are reading more books from the county library system, a six month report shows. utilizing the library for any service, totalled 82,774 while meeting room use with such facilities available at the branch libiaries, totalled 16,391. SOME 150,940 items, mostly books but also including magazines and records, were circulated from the main library in Farmington and two branch facilities in Clearfield and Bountiful during the first six months of 1979, a report released to the Davis County Library Board Tuesday shows. At the same time, library use, or numbers of patrons THOSE FIGURES compare with circulation of 144,086 items during the same period in 1978 while patronage stood at 85,404, or 3,000 higher than recorded this year. But meeting room use was up dramatically from 10,776 in 1978 to the 16,000-plu- s figure this year. In making the report, 'Library Director Jeanne Lav- - ton said it was difficult to tabulate an exact patronage count in general library and meeting room use. Staff members utilize counters in recording activity but are not always able to keep an accurate count during busy periods. IN COMPARING the three libraries separately, mington headquarters Farregisto tered about the circulation of the two branches and a correspondingly lower patronage. In fact, the Bountiful one-thir- d one-fourt- h branch recorded nearly 50 percent of the total circulation during both six month periods and more than half the library use figures. But at the same time. North Branch and Farmington circulation and library use has been growing at a steady pace, the report shows. BOOKMOBILE USE has dropped from 1978 figures in all six months recorded, dropping from about 95,000 circulation to 80,000 this year. It is operated by the State Library Commission in conjunction with the county system. tb Diesel Mechanics Program To Be ercd fit Davis Vocational Center By TOM BUSSELBERG KAYSVILLE 150 openings are -forTherediesel mechanics along the Wasatch Front. BUT THE trained personnel to; meet that demand are not yet available and the situation could get more critical within the next five to six years, says diesel Allred, jHan mechanics instructor at the Davis Area Vocational Center iri Kaysville. 'If new, younger mechanics arent trained to fill the gap within five or six years there could be a serious shortage nationally, he continued. TO HELP meet that need, the Davis Center will begin its first diesel mechanics class in -- September for about 15 fullstudents. time or 30 part-tim- e ;And while there is a big demand and salaries can be high for those with training, students just entering the program shouldnt expect to earn a big fortune fast, Mr. Allred warns. A full program takes about two years to implete and then a graduate normally enters an appren- ticeship program, earning ptossibly' half as much as a journeyman at the outset. That level is normally reached after four years of experience. BUT THE program is wide in scope and students can specialize in several different areas, he says. Students with a background in auto mechanics, mathematics and electrical work are the ideal candidates but instruction is available at the center in all of those areas. fact, the program emphasizes classroom insIn truction, demonstration and then plenty of hand-oexperience. It is an n open-ende- program, d meaning students can come and go at different times but Mr. Allred says he hopes to get students to complete units together as much as possible. THE COOLING systems segment will include a study of the complete cooling system, for example. Specific areas to be studied will be pressure system, fans and air flow, water pump, radiators, shutters, coolants, antifreeze and rust inhibitors. Function, methods of testing repairing and replacing parts will also be examined. Students can work at their own pace, somewhat, with individualized packets available for many subjects. If a student knows the required math, for instance, he can take that test without going through the material in class and move on to another segment, Mr. Allred says. AND FOR a student satisfied to complete work and light adequate for tune-umechanics, his course of study could end within six months or a year of entering the program, the instructor p DIESEL mechanics is more technical and exacting than auto mechanics, he emphasizes. To meet that reality, more than a dozen courses will be offered totalling over 1,000 classroom hours. Classes will be offered in terminology, engines, lubrication and cooling systems, fuel systems and governors, air systems, tune-u- electrical systems, air conditioning, hydraulics, brakes, transmission and drive lines. says. a student But even graduating from the two year program wont find money trees waiting, Mr. Allred says. An apprentice may start at a $4.50 or $5 an hour wage and move up and his first assignment may be on the wash rack. MANY FIRMS like to rotate new employees through all of RECREATION PROGRAM About 2,000 their leisure summer hours with programs offered bv the Layton Recreation Department. many of the jobs during the first year and then give them more res- ponsibility as they complete the cycle again, Mr. Allred says. And the more a student applies himself at the center and later on the job, the faster he may advance, in many in- stances. Tests are usually given for each area on the job and if a student performs well in one he may be moved to another, the instructor says. A GROWING field related to diesel mechanics involves hydraulics, Mr. Allred says. A person trained in that can go into a lot of different fields. The gate in King Kong was hydraulic and hydraulics are used in many areas. Railroads utilize it in track laying and pipes are placed with hydraulics in some cases.

Some programs involve children from age 7 on with all activity set to end Aug. 3, he said. Most classes require nominal fee but the citv supplies the bulk of equipment. AND WHILE A $7,000 a recreation budget helps, without volunteer aid from parents and older youngsters the program would be to reach so many residents, Mr. Dato said.
