Show APRIL 13, 1983 Preceptor Iota Projects The Preceptor Iota Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi has been involved in several projects to raise money and then to put the money to charitable use within the local area and on a national and international basis. ACCORDING to Ways and Means Chairman LouAnn Wallace, several projects were sponsored by the chapter during the past year. Mrs. Wallace, assisted by chapter members made attractive ceramic stick pins and gold covered rose charms. These were sold to chapter members and to members of other Beta Sigma Phi Chapters throughout Weber and Davis County. The articles symbolized the golden key of friendship and the yellow rose that are universally used by the international sorority. CANDLES, especially designed using the yellow rose symbol were also sold by chapter members. One particular candle was scented with a special fragrance and enclosed in a dish that could be used as a ring box after the candle melted away. This item was very popular among chapter members and other ladies who purchased them. One Tuesday evening, Louise Morris entertained guests at her home to introduce the ladies to the candle collection Preceptor Iota members were selling. The Chapter received a portion of Layton Kiwanis Hears Legislative Researcher The Kiwanis Club of Layton recently heard John Mem-mo- t, legislative general counsel and head of the Legislative Research Department speak on the 1983 Utah Legislature. THE UTAH Legislature meets fewer days each year than any other state legislature. Its members are among the lowest paid legislators in the country. Utahs legislature pay ranks 48th in the nation. In general he believes the legislators do a good job and are fairly representative of their constituency. Major pieces of legislation passed by this legislature include numerous criminal code revisions. A very tough drunk driver law was passed and funding was provided for local enforcement of the law. The beer and liquor tax was increased and provision was made to pass the funds back to cities and counties to pay for enforcement. CHILD ABUSE was dealt with in several bills. A system of restitution for victims of crimes was created, under which a condition of probation will be proplaws were strenger restitution to victims. Spouse-abus- e thened and additional protection for battered spouses provided. The insanity defense was limited to a very narrow set of circumstances where the perpetrator of a crime is unable to understand the wrongness of his action (the McNaughton Rule). The penalties have been severely strengthened for most le crimes against minors, including kidnapping, sexual abuse, etc. The resources of the prison system are being expanded to provide additional facilities for housing convicted criminals throughout the state. The procedures for criminal appeals have been streamlined, so that the apel-lamust raise all issues of which he or his counsel are aware at the first appeal. The capital punishment law has been revised to include a provision for death by lethal injection. IN THE CIVIL area the authority of the Department of Financial Institutions has been strengthened to permit the department to keep closer tabs on banks and savings and loans. The departments hands were also strengthened in taking over troubled financial institu-- , regulating and-o- r tions. The uniform consumer credit code was revised among other changes, the interest rate controls on consumer sales and consumer loans were removed. The applicable interest rates are now permitted to float and seek their natural competitive levels. Additional financing was provided for local governments. A building program was initiated to provide 16 major building projects throughout the state, one of which Davis Area Vocational Center. will be the long-plann- IN THE LEGISLATURE just past, two lobbying groups showed considerable new muscle and influence, the medical society and the oil industry. As a result, bills to regulate state welfare payments of medical costs at present levels and to increase the oil and gas severance taxes were defeated. The state has a $2.5 billion budget for the current fiscal year. This represents a basic zero growth position relative to last year. The only place any increase was made was in public education. There will be 16,000 new students added to the school systems this year. Student per capita funding will remain at least years levels but no new facilities or staffing was provided. The higher education budget was left at last years levels. The state now will have a revolving fund and bonding program to assist cities in developing water and sewer facilities. This will replace federal assistance programs. THE NEW cable TV law has generated much publicity and controversy. The bill is generally misunderstood. In fact, all the bill purports to do is prevent cable broadcast of the same kind of offensive materials which have long been prohibited for showing in public movie theaters. A bill reorganizing the State Tax Commission was passed under which the commission will become a full time appeals hearing and policy making board. The day to day administration of the divisions therefore supervised by the commission will be under a professional administrator. Provision has also been made for reorganization of the 12 divisions of the present state tax commissions agencies. UTAH HAS fewer public employees per capita than any other state. At the same time, we have the highest relative percentage of our state budget devoted to education. Getting Better: Layton Chamber the money from sales to use for chapter activities and for projects.

LAYTON We have turned the corner. Things are going to get better, stated Bradley Bertoch to members of the Layton Chamber of Commerce at the monthly luncheon and meeting that was held Thursday, April 7 in the Valley View Restaurant. Development in downtown Salt Lake represents a billion dollars in projects now underway. You dont see this on a private level anywhere else in the country.

BERTOCH, a Utah native is the director of economic development for the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. He has the opportunity to meet with the business leaders from all over the U.S. to explain the advantages of locating businesses in Utah and especially in the Wasatch Front communities. Last year, the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce answered 4,000 inquiries about business in Utah. Some questions were simple like how do you get a business license? Other letters wanted detailed information about land available to locate a major clean industrial state-wid- Money collected through Ways and Means projects is used to support Chapter activities, to distribute locally to deserving charities and to contribute to the Beta Sigma Phi International endowment fund.

MARYON was bom in Salt Lake City, 1931 and graduated from the University of Utah (BFA, 1952) (MFA, 1956). He did study with Francis de Erdely, There are several reasons I give when I tell a company executive that he should locate along the Wasatch Front, stated Mr. Bersecond to toch. First, we have a none. Recreation opportunities abound. We have culture elements like the symphony and the ballet that compare with the best. Modern Maturity and Money magazines both pick the Wasatch Front as the best place to retire to. A SECOND reason Mr. Bertoch gives for coming to Utah is our education system. Fifty percent of the state budget goes to education. The average number of years spent in school is the highest in the nation. The Wasatch Front is an ideal distribution center. We have terminals for trucks, major railroads stop here. We have a freeway system and major airlines. It is easy to move products from the Wasatch Front to any other part of the USDA Cheese and butter will be distributed to senior citizens in Davis County under the following conditions: (1) you must be 60 years of age or older, (2) must be a resident of Davis County and (.3) you must sign in person for the cheese and butter.

BETWEEN 700 and 800 packets of information were sent out of state to businesses by Mr. Bertochs office last year alone. Cheese, Butter Available Edward Maryon Displays Art At Barnes Bank Edward D. Maryon, well known Utah artist is exhibiting his paintings at the Barnes fourth reason Mr. Bertoch gives for moving a company to Utah. Land is reasonably priced. Construction costs are low. Labor costs are lower per production unit than anywhere else in the country. Utah is the only place in the U.S. where an industry can produce the quantity and the quality of goods at a price comparable to Japan Mr. Bertoch stated. FINALLY, UTAH has a good business and. political relationship. Mr. Bertoch told his audience that the Chamber of Commerce was; established in 1902 when Governor Wells called together the 100 most influential Mormon business leaders. Out of this' and meeting grew the Chamber of Commerce which has continuually for 81 years provided leadership between business and government. The problems of interest rates, low produce tivity, and unemployment have slowed economic development. Many businesses consider survival not expansion. Growth will never become as ov ering as w e once believed it would Still, w e hav e one of the low est unemploy ment rates in the country. Gradually more major businesses are moving to Utah. The future is good," Mr. Bertoch concluded. plant. , r LOCKS Sales Installation Service Rekeyed Keys fitte d & duplicated CarsHomes opened BLOOD PRESSURE clinic is the first Thursday of each month at 10:45 a.m. 2 will Lunch menus for the week of April include: J 18-2- St. Collection; Visitors Center; 1982 (Merit Award), 1981 (Merit Award), 1980 (Merit Award), 1979, 1977 (Best of Show); annual National Art Nauvoo Restoration Center; and for many other various Exhibition, Springville, 1982, 1981 (Gold Medal), 1980, 1979; HE RESIDED in Kaysville with his family for a short time .
