SOUTH WEBER The days of the windmill are returning. BUT THE historic breeze-powere- d machines have taken on an all new look. Appearing more like huge airplane propellers, the newfangled energy producers are beginning to pop up all over. Until recently, Utahs only wind power generator was located in Milford. However, due to rising energy and electricity costs, more and more machines are being built statewide. The newest, and likely largest addition to the wind power chain is in the final plan TO BE installed at the windy mouth of Weber Canyon, the energy generator may someday provide enough power to light and maintain most of the corps dormitories, according to Gordon Christensen, WBJC head guidance counselor. The job corp staff began looking into the purchase of a wind power generator last year. Funds were solicited from private donors, advertisements booked into federal publications and the corps parent organization, Water and Power Resources, urged to help the project succeed with some federal money.

Fran Brown such demand the corp would likely have to wait until late next year for delivery. Companies test the propeller-driven machines at the Rocky Mountain Flats Testing Area near Rocky Flats, Colo, Christensen said. He said the machine Weber officials are in considering has the "best track record of any generator screened at Rocky Flats. OFFICIALS at the Salt Lake branch of Water and Power Resources have met with Utah Power and Light spokesmen who seem to be pretty positive about purchasing excess energy produced by the wind generator, Mr. Christensen added. He explained that when a - The Davis School Board will make a decision on selling vocational center property for religious instruction after more input from area churches has been received. building board should be contacted to see how they would feel about selling a portion of the 25 acres southwest of the current campus projected for future use at the Kaysville vocational school site. TH AT DECISION came last week in a follow-ureport after the LDS Church requested land for construction of an Institute of Religion. Such facilities are often built adjacent to colleges and universities. After receiving that request three weeks ago. the board asked that other groups be queried as to interest in erecting such facilities of their own. Supt. Lhwrence Welling said letters had been sent to the various clergy in the county with two telephone replies. THAT LAND is currently owned by the school board and will be deeded to the vocational center upon transferoffunds to the school district as payment for the center's facilities that were financed by the district. "It (an Institute of Religion) doesn't have to be in that 25 acres. I'd really question the need for a seminary or whatever someone wants to put there unless the role of the vocational center changes." ll Escapes POINT OF THE MOUNSearch is continuing TAIN this week for convicted murderer Ronald Allen who is serving a life sentence for the shooting death of former Davis County Sheriff Deputy Don Jensen. THE ESCAPEE was convicted of shooting to death Deputy Jensen in May of 1971 following an alleged armed robbery in Ogden.

If there is ever a power blackout and linemen are sent out to correct the problem, power from the wind machine must be shut down so the men are not injured by the additional current, Christensen said. THE WIND power machine being studied by WBJC for purchase has a peak kilowatt output of 40, 0(H) hours. Christensen said most homes use only an overage of 26,000 kilowatt hours of energy. Asked if there is enough wind moving through the canyon to support the generator. Our winds pick up about ten at night and go until about ten or eleven in the morning." he said, W ELL NEM R be able to supply all our own power," he added, noting that the wind machine is estimated at 25 kilowatts, while the oh corp complex requires an average of 300 kilowatts of power to operate efficiently. If UP&L agrees to purchase some of the power, Christensen said the power will likely be funneled off during the late evening hours and early morning. "What that percentage is don't know," he said. 1 CURRENTLY, Christensen said the center aging "about ( BJC ) is averII 4 miles per W "INCH I I OR woikers in Wayne County.

WBJC staffers originally hoped to have the generator installed by October, but Christensen said they may have to wait an additional year to get the generator they want. HE SAID construction on the project will take very little work. The cement base block is needed to secure the 60 foot tower and said workers at the center will be able to complete that part of the project. But, he said, specialists will probably have to be called in to assemble the wind generator. The tower will be located 300 yards north of the exact center of Weber Canyon. THE GONE RNMENT is beginning to realize the importance of alternate energy sources and said they support the protect. In a recent meeting to discuss the advantages of wind power, Christensen said a UP&L representative predicted that the Weber generator will probably be able to handle "the needs of the dormitories" in the event there is ever a power outage. IF THE wind power generator is a success, Christensen says more generators may be added to the center, perhaps providing up to 75 percent of the center's power needs in the near future. Keeping Control Of Emotions During Emergency This is another in a series of articles concerning nuclear and natural disasters and how to cope with such an emergeno. Information comes from a y righted book written bv t resson H. Kearney, world-renow- n researcher, author and lecturer, and published by the American Security Council Education Foundation. By GARY R. BLODGETT Also, necessary items for the shelter must include proper means of ventilation, more than one source of radio, light (or extra batteries), a battery-operate- d sufficient water, food and medical supplies, and sanitation facilities. WITHOUT ALL of these "comforts." living close underground or basement shelter would be an extremely traumatic experience. The mental, or emotional stress, would be too much for many persons. Even without light, the extended darkness could take its toll, especially among children. The same is true without some sort of comfort for sleeping, sitting, and other physical needs that everyone is so accustomed to. in an In the previous article, it was discussed how we must take care of ourselves, while li ing in a shelter, during a nuclear attack. The article concerned our physical well-bein- g. TODAY, WE reveal a few tips for keeping emotionally balanced during this shelter stay which in many cases will be more difficult than caring for our physical needs. Living together in close quarters under extremly unpleasant conditions is not new to society. Throughout history, people have endured being crowded together while living and sleeping on hard surfaces. CIVIL DEFENSE preparedness tests have shown that modern Americans can spend more than two weeks crowded together in tight underground shelters and sleeping on concrete floors using only eight square feet of floor space for each person But the question remains is that necessary ? SINCE OUR most severe problem can result Irom emotional or psy chological stress, it is important that fallout shelters be equipped with adequate furnishings bunk beds, cots or hammocks, bench or folding chairs, or even a suspended "bedsheet chair. MORALE, HEALTH and cleanliness will be improved if there are the comforts of a few necessary items already stocked in a shelter. Persons occupying a shelter with relatively comfortable furnishings are more likely to remain in the shelter longer, and possibly avoid dangerous exposure to fallout radiation. Folding chairs take up very little space and can be utilized in even a relatively small shelter space. If bunks or cots are not available, pieces of plywood can serv e as a foundation for a bed . reliev ing some of the hardness of the floor or the dampness that may exist in an underground shelter. ALSO, W1IH several persons in the shelter, it may be necessary to take shifts for sleeping, or even sitting. Hammocks and bedsheet chairs suspended from the ceiling take up very little shelter space and can improve conditions tremendouslv. |
