Sohei Oshima, a student from Tokyo, is spending a month with the Floyd N lelsen family as one of a group of 66 Japanese youth visiting Utah under an international exchange program. The exchange program has been growing ever since it was started in 1974, said Dr. Gerald Olson, state - o he noted. Families who host Japanese youth want to do it again, and the Japanese youth encourage more of their friends to come to Utah, he said. 4- At Arcadia Elementary The program has become so popular because people are beginning to realize the need for international understanding in what is increasingly becoming a world community, he observed. Japan does not have programs as we know them, he explained, but has something called LEX, Lan- - H director guage Experience, Experiment and Exchange. The LEX clubs teach English to Japanese youth in much the same way teaches a variety of skills to American youth. The Oshima youth is a member of a group called UTREK. In addition to living with Utah families, the k wiUTREK group spent a lderness experience at- - a YMCA camp in the Uinta Mountains, said Mrs. Nielsen. The purpose of the program is to let the young people experience the American way of family life, she said. Sohei is very popular with the neighborhood children, as well as with the Nielsens five, Mrs. Nielsen remarked. He plays on his school soccer team when at home, enjoys rock and roll and likes snow skiing. One of his goals in visiting Utah is to try water skiing, she added. The family has taken him to allthe usual fun spoti Around Salt Lake, In- -' ' eluding Lagoon, the Coper Pit and Timpanogas. Next week they will meet with the remainder of the families involved in the exchange program for a picnic at Wheeler Farm. It is an enjoyable and rewarding experience having these young people visit us, said Mrs. Nielsen. It isnt always easy, especially because of the language problem, but we have learned to always carry a Japanese-America- n dictionary, and use it constantly, she added.

Road construction activity is up from previous years, with much of the emphasis being placed on interstate highways. As a result of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, road projects in Utah have increased dramatically. The act included a federal gas tax increase of five cents per gallon and increases years have afforded ( more maintenance and rehabilitation work on the interstates, but the large backlog will mean the work will continue for years. UDOT officials said everything possible is being done to minimize time spent on repairs. Work is scheduled to avoid rush hours and double and triple shifts are run on some projects to speed completion of the work. Motorists have been asked to help ease difficulties created by the construction. Extra caution should be excercised, and motorists should allow themselves extra time to get to their destinations. UDOT currently has 16 major highway projects under way, with five more set to begin this year. for the Interstate Rehabilitation Program. In 1981, UDOT received a meager $4 million for that road program. By 1982, that figure had jumped to $11 million, in 1983 it had become $28 the funds million and in $1984 it hit $35 million. On Oct. 1, UDOT will receive $42 million for interstate rehabilitation.
