Survey on Health STATEMENT BY FRANKLIN GUNNELL SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE 37thUTAH LEGISLATURE As the speaker of the House of Representatives in the 37th Utah State Legislature, I feel it is my duty to reply to the recent ng irresponsible attacks nor. The Utah State House of Re- is the body most representative of the citizens of the entire state. The members of the House are local people, elected by the citizens to represent them in the state preservatives making At the beginning KUED-T- V ur avoiding on Fixity of purpose often calls for Flexibility of method. of the ses- sion last January, the legislative leadership outlined a seven point program of action which was to be a guide for the legislative session. This program, endorsed by the people who elected us to the Legislature, included promoting industrial development, providing help and encouragement for education, Program to radio-televisi- power in the hands of the people while providing the chief executive with the tools and organization necessary to operate efficiently. Color Science An ambitious three-holive color special involving important areas of scientific, cultural and educational life in this country will be aired next Fall by the National Educational Television Network. And KUED-T- V has been selected as a key station in production of the unprecedented program. Rex L. Campbell, director of services for the University of Utah, said that the decision to utilize the plant and personnel of KUED the states educational and cultural television station, was made during a recent meeting of N. E. T. affiliates from throughout the United States in New York City. He explained that the special will be an instrument which will enable government officials, scholars, scientists and artists to inform Americans of the latest developments in their fields. It will be produced by N. E. T. in cooperation with the Columbia University School of Journalism, and every segment of the production will be hung on an important news peg, Mr. Campbell noted. KUED is among 20 N.E.T. affiliates selected to help direct and produce parts of the big show which is expected to be offered to the public on the interconnected network, live from New York, in October. George Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation, and Fred Friendly, former CBS official now with N.E.T., have outlined the show, Mr. Campbell added. 1967 body. Each represents a small enough group that he can be close to the local peoples feelings. One basic reason for the failure of the governor to understand the accomplishments of this session of the legislature is that he has been most concerned with seizing greater power and concentrating it in his own hand. The peoples Legislature, conversely, has sought to keep the decision- made on the House by the gover- - be on 30, j tax increases,.,, laws,', strengthening anti-criconsolidating health services, revising and improving election laws, and reorganizing departments of state government for greater efficiency. Regardless of the governors ' criticism, which has been char- -; acterized as being made to- further his own political ends, the records now show that great gains were made in all of the areas which the Legislature outlines for work. All bills were thoroughly studied and debated. All groups and individuals who had suggestions or arguments were given courteous conider-- i ation. This Legislature has progressively moved ahead. It has endeavored to put enough money where it was needed to meet the states problems and to improve social and economic conditions for the people of Utah. At the same time it gave careful attention to making the tax money do the best possible job for the taxpayer. It has kept its pledge not to raise taxes. We take pride in the fact that partisan politics has played so little part in the deliberations, even though it might have been so easy for the majority party to have run rough shod over the monority. When we conducted our business we did so with confidence that we had performed our duty to the people back home expeditiously, studiously, with dignity and in good faith. Occupations Health service occupations throughout the State are being surveyed by the Utah Department of Employment Security and the Office of State Super -intendant of Public Instruction according to LeRue E. Thurston, manager of the Provo Employment Security Office. A questionnaire mailed to selected employers will ask for information concerning the number of nurses, therapists, technicians, aids and other workers currently employed and the number of job vacancies or anticipated job openings. This information is needed to determine the labor demand supply situation . There were the scoffers and the cynics in 1904 who said the Bingham Canyon Mine was ore doomed to failure even before it was started. The idea of mass mining of was ridiculed by many of the leading engineers and financiers of that era. Sixty-twyears later, the incredible mine continues to set fantastic new records. To date, it has produced approximately I8V2 billion pounds of copper more copper than low-grad- o Proper fertilization is the management practice that most often brings the grower the highest returns. It is the one practice that can be measured in terms of added income. e For example, the grower who yields only 15 tons of sugar beets per acre will net only $54.50 per acre in profits (based on a gross - from any individual mine in all history. Because the Bingham Canyon Mine is the largest single mining project ever undertaken, it sets new tonnage records every day it operates. For example, milling ore mined now mark, and waste or overburden removed now totals totals slightly over the billion-to- n more than one and a. half billion tons. With its huge expansion program now nearing completion, the Utah Copper Division looks forward to many more years of setting additional records and continuing to be the states foremost industry. v Kennecott Copper Corporation can be restored.
