Carter, in need of only 379 more delegates to reach the 1,505 total that would assure his nomination, looks like a sure bet for the top spot on the November ballot, as projected by his carefully calculated two-yeschedule. With new found supporters like Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington and Gov.

Bill Anderson had written exciting and what appeared to be sincere letters to his fans in this area that, He was proud to be one of us, etc. etc. We would be notified when he held his grand opening his newly radio station in for acquired Provo, etc. etc. A group of his fans went to a lot of hard work and expense to make huge banners with a real Utah welcome to Bill Anderson but we were never notified about the Sneak celebration he threw in Provo last Saturday! No one is so big that he can completely ignore his fans and leave them holding the bag. Through releases in Utah papers we became dedicated fans of Bill Anderson but until he comes up with some kind of explanation we wouldnt walk across the road to hear him in concert. An old adage, You can always tell the big man by the way he treats the little fellow still holds true with us. Thanks for letting us sound This week in Washington off.

Moss, received the National Council of Senior Citizens Award of Merit June 4 in ceremonies in Chicago. The award was presented to Moss for his outstanding work on behalf of elderly citizens . In an accompanying citation, Moss was honored for being the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Long-TerCare, and for having chaired more hearings and introduced more legislation benefitting senior citizens than any man in the Congress. Moss expresses reservations on Humphrey Hawkins bill -- Senator Moss said he has serious reservations on the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act, known as the Bill. While I wholeheartedly support the objective of more jobs, I am concerned that the approach which my good friend and distinguished colleague from Minnesota has proposed has not taken into account the inflationary factors, he said. Moss said a recent Congressional Budget Office study the budget costs of the bill are indeterminant, but large. He said the study also indicates that while enactment of the bill could result in lower unemployment, there would be a risk of substantially higher inflation. I also think we must be very careful to limit the government role in planning and decision-makin- g affecting our lives and impinging upon the private sector of the economy, he said. Our free enterprise system does not work well with government dictating every move. Government must serve us all but not become our master. in-th- at Moss Clean Air Act Amendment receives endorsement from National Association of Manufacturers The Moss amendment seeks to block enactment of the nondeterioration provisions of the Senate Public Works Committees bill (S. 3219) until a study of the economic impact is completed. one-ye- Standards in Denver, Administration said that they should be sure that summer jobs comply with the child labor provisions of Federal law.

These youth may not be employed more than eight hours on a nonschool day, 40 hours in one week when school is not in session, or work before 7 a.m. or later than 9 p.m. from June 1 through Labor Day. Some jobs are off limits to 14 and 15 year olds. These are mainly in transportation, communicawarehousing, tion, or construction, except for routine office or sales work. In addition, they are not permitted to work in jobs declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. Young people aged 16 or older can work in any job those except declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. No youth under 18 may work at a job declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. These 17 categories include jobs in explosive plants: most jobs in mining; some in meat processing: excavation and roofing jobs; jobs in manufacturing brick, tile, and kindred products; operating circular and band saws and guillotine shears; and working as motor vehicle drivers or helpers. At age 18, the young people may hold any job. In agricultural em- ployment, different rules apply. Employers on farms and youth seeking work there should contact the local extension agent or wage and hour compliance officer. Generally, youth under 12 can work on their parents farm or with parental consent, but a age minimum to jobs declared applies hazardous, such as operating tractors and certain other farm machinery, working from heights of over 20 feet, and handling dangerous chemicals. Johnson emphasizes that summer youth are covered by the regular Federal minimum wage provisions that apply to other employment. Depending on the job and date of first coverage, these are: $2.30 an hour (occupations covered prior to 1966); $2.20 an hour (occupations covered in 1966 and later); and $2 an hour for agricultural work. Except for agricultural jobs, if youth aged 16 and over work more than 40 hours a week, they must be paid at the rate for the overtime. Employers should protect themselves by retaining on file a proof of age for each of their young workers. Federal time-and-a-ha- lf require that regulations employers record the birth date of each worker under 19, and some states require that the youth obtain a working permit. High schools or state Departments of Labor can provide details on work permits. and Employers youth should check any questions about types of jobs, wages, and hours with he local Wage and Hour area office.

We are grateful to Officer George Cummings. Roy Police Dept, for supplying this information. If you have questions, contact your local police department. You can help yourself and your local law enforcement agency reduce crime in your neighborhood. How? By joining OPERATION IDENTIFICATION. This is a program designed to discourage theft and to aid your law enforcement agency in the prosecution of criminals, and the recovery of your property in tlie event a theft occurs. If you will participate, your local crime prevention officer will assist you by (a) providing an engraver for you to engrave your drivers license number on all your valuables-(b- ) provide you with window stickers for the outside of your home or apartment warning potential burglars that items of value have been marked. By now you are probably asking how this can discourage burglars. The answer is simple. Most thieves do not want to be caught; if they steal items which can be positively identified, they increase their chances of being caught. Equally items important to the thief is the fact that are harder to sell or dispose of, thus reducing his opportunity for profit. Therefore, if you mark your valuables and let the thief know this, he will probably pass up your home or apart- in easily-identifiab- ment. But what if a burglar strikes your home anyway? Not only are the chances increased that he will be caught and prosecuted, but you are practically assured of having your stolen valuables returned to you because you have taken the time to mgrk them for identification. We encourage you to take advantage of this program. It costs you nothing and can save you and your family the expense of having to replace your posessions. Call your local police department today, they will gladly assist you in marking your valuables through the Region II Crime Prevention Program. Next week we will discuss Auto Theft. J.
