The project, organized by the Utah State Board of Education, Salt Lake County Manpower Office and Utah Tech, has provided vocational training for more than 1.000 economically disadvantaged youth and placed them in career-oriente- d jobs throughout the Salt Lake area. Funded largely by the U.S. Department of Labor through the Comprehensive Education Training Act, the program has been recognized by the National League of Cities as one of the 20 most innovative job training programs in the country. In Five Districts According to J.D. Johnson, program coordinator, the program operates in Salt Lake and Tooele counties through the five school districts in the two counties. four-year-o- Our clients are referred to us by high school counselors or social agencies in the area. Oftentimes, however, they hear about us by word of mouth, Mr. Johnson said. "Our clients arc between 14 and 20 years old and are economically disadvantaged, in criteria. terms of federal eamed-incom- e Most of them are high school dropouts with little or no training and unable to find work, he said. "What we do is take these persons and provide them with 'hands on training in a classroom. They learn skills necessary to enter the job market and earn a living," Mr. Johnson said. Up to Nine Months The training program lasts up to nine months, w ith classes meeting four nights a week for three and a quarter hours. "After completing the program, we will e assist the student in obtaining employment," he added. We pay a stipend of the minimum wage to assist the student with any financial obligations he or she has while attending our class. According to Heather Hussey, placement specialist, if a student is identified through counseling to be best served by training, the individual will be placed in a private or public sector job and forego the classroom training phase. We contract with a company to hire a student and we pay half of the wage to the employer up to $3 an hour, she said. Therefore the companies are encouraged to hire students enrolled in the program because labor costs are cheaper. full-tim- Contracts are written for a maximum May Gain Job "After completing the contract, the e student may be offered employment and enrollment in a high school Ms. completion program is encouraged, Hussey said. A third phase of the program offers younger clients, ages 14 through 17. the opportunity to work in the public sector, with the city parks department, for example, while they attend their regular school. They earn the minimum wage while Project Cooperation pays the entire wage to the employer. The classroom training phase of the project takes place in various satellite classrooms, located in area high schools such as East, West, Brighton, Hillcrest and full-tim- Tooele.

A video tape machine, television camera and tape sworn recorder were used to take a deposition testimony of a witness made before only the lawyers in the case following an agreement from lawyers and by order of Chief Judge Willis W. Ritter. "This is the only such instance of the use of television equipment to record a deposition in federal court in Utah we are aware of, said Phillip Calder, a member of Calder, Calder and Jensen Video Tape Reporting.

West Temple, was quickly contained by Salt Lake County fire fighters but the companys losses from smoke damage may be extensive. The business was closed and there were no injuries. Although the cause is still under investigation. Salt Lake County Fire Chief Charles Paris said the fire was apparently started by some faulty wiring under the floor on the buildings second level. The fire burned through the floor boards and into a stack of bed mattresses, which generated a large amount of smoke. The flames triggered an automatic sprinkler system which notified the fire department at 3:08 p.m. Chief Paris said the fire fighters had to cut their way through a door to get the the burning area and had the blaze out w ithin 30 minutes. The chief said loss from the fire itself was alxnit $11,000. confined mainly to mattresses, but the smoke generated by the fire wafted down throughout the building's lower level, causing an undetermined amount ot smoke damage to inventory. The Hi fire fighters called to the scene pulled the smoldering mattresses out ol the burning area and onto the loading docks ol t00 hours, Ms. Hussey said. Mr. Calder said he taped the deposition in the case, which was recently settled out of court. The action involved a claim for damages by the guardian of a boy whose fingers were cut off while using a hydraulic paper cutter at school in 1975, court records show. Mr. Calder set up his televison equipment and recorded the operation of the paper cutter at the school, since the equipment was too big to bring into court, the records show. "The advantages of a video tape machine are that it is fast. Five munutes after we take a deposition, we can play it for the judge and lawyers in the case. There is no processing, Mr. Calder noted. The portable equipment, he said, could be used to show the scene of an accident, for example, or could witnesses be used to get testimony from who are not able to appear in court. He said after the deposition is taped, a typed transcript of the proceedings is also provided. Their firm, he said, is the only one we know ol" to offer video services. For a court reporter to produce a transcript, it would cost about $150. We charge for the time the tape is running and the charge would be. for the same service, $130, he said. Depositions, he said, are used to inqa'ach witnesses or to show inconsistencies in previous testimony and to discover the facts ol a case without calling witnesses at a trial. Video tape depositions have been used since 1071 in other states, Mr. Calder said. Dean V. Sheffield, executive director, Utah State Bar, sa'd television equipment has been used in state courts in Utah two or three times. e Alan, 25, Shot While in Bar.
