This program is designed to provide flexibility by permitting an individual to enlist for a particular space or specialty at a future date. The delayed entry program will also assist in controlling the input of new men into Training Centers, so that Army reception and training facilities are not overloaded during specific months. Sergeant Russell W. Jahn of the local Recruiting Station rated the program a good thing for qualified young men who want to enlist for a particular space or assignment in a specialized field.

UIPC urges local Communities make Industries welcome What is the Utah Industrial Promotion Commission and how can this community best utilize its facilities to get maximum benefits and help from its operation? These questions were posed to Milton L. Weilenmann, director of the UIPC. His answers J and suggestions can be helpful in making all local industrial r o g r a m s more productive and effective. Weilenmann says: The Utah State Industrial Promotion Commission was established to promote new industry for all areas of the state through cooperative teamwork, and it has worked very well. However, some areas have benefited more than others because they have made more effort in the program or have more to offer. It is important that all communities and counties know how our industrial promotion program works in Utah. It is important that community leaders know what is expected of them. It is essential that communities know that industries are not going to come into a town without some local effort, some preparation, some indications that industry is wanted and welcome, said Weilenmann. The Industrial Promotion Commission has set up a staff to research information and facts on why industry should locate in Utah. These facts and figures are presented to prospective plant builders through advertising, publicity, direct mail, and personal contact programs. It should be remembered that Utah is competing with every state in the union for these prospects. But Utah has special advantages to offer. These are stressed. As industrial prospects are uncovered, they are supplied with detailed information. Then the Utah Committee on Industrial and Employment Planning is brought into the campaign to steer the prospects to locations which best meet the requirements. Every prospective industry has special requirements, such as f a c i 1 i t i e s, transportation, labor, warehousing, power. railroads, highway connections, etc. All these limit the areas that the Industrial and Employment Planning Committee can suggest to the prospect. After looking at the best locations, the company makes up its own mind on which community or which area is best suited to its needs. This decision is not made by the Industrial Promotion rommission or the Industrial and Employment Committee, as many people seem to think, pointed out Mr. Weilenmann. What can communities do, then, to get a bigger share of these industrial prospects to look over, their locations? Weilenmann suggested that communities that have organized their own development groups have been able to more aggressively present the advantages of their specific areas in bidding for industry. It is important that all communities have leadership and active promotion. Industry is not going to come without local interest and effort. An adequate labor supply, of course, is essential. For instance, when Campbell Soup showed an interest in Cache Valley, the first step was to make a labor survey to see if the specific type of people were available. Only a few areas in Utah could have qualified. Available facilities also are essential. One major company recently selected Brigham City because a plant was available for immediate use. Another Utah site was passed over because it lacked the facilities. z One enterprisingUtah Friese Cover Brown, colors Beige, Green com- munity turned a discarded school facility into a plant and o f f e r e d it to an apparel company. The point is that it takes more than an idea. It takes people and facilities and profitmaking advantages to induce try to locate. Plant sites are not 'hosen for sentimental reasons; they are chosen :or profitable operations. This is the prime, basic reason for any plant location, The Utah saidWeilen-man- Industrial n.

Because of the availability of labor, transportation, facilities, and market, there ae many reasons why industry naturally seeks this area. This means that smaller communities must take an inventory of their assets and be prepared to make the strongest possible appeal for apparel industries, certain electronic or light manufacturing that might fit into less populated area. Mountain Fuel reports system is in exceptionally good condition, he said, as a result of a program carried on in recent years of reconditioning or replacing old transmission lines. Natural gas sales for 1966 reached 124.9 billion cubic feet compared with 117.2 billion cubic feet in 1965, but virtually all of the increase was accounted for by greater industrial sales, the report said. Gas service was extender to two new areas in Utah, those being Price in Carbon County, and Roosevelt, in M y t o n and Duchesne in Duchesne County. All told, the Company added 7,213 more customers to its system in 1966 bringing to 228,008 the total number of customers it serves, the report said.

These factors combined to keep our earnings for the year from exceeding those of 1965. This was the summary of Mountain Fuels operations and earnings for the year as they were outlined in the natural gas utilitys Annual Report by M. M. Fidlar, president. The report, released Friday, noted that earnings for 1966 amounted to $5,007,061, or $2.08 a share, compared with earnings of $5,775,425 for 1965, or $2.40 a share. However, 1966 also had its bright spots, Mr. Fidlar said in his report tp the shareThe Company exholders. tended natural gas service to some new areas, added more than 7,000 new customers to its system, conducted several successful sales campaigns, and acquired some additional gas reserves. Mr. Fidlar also noted that Mountain Fuel had taken a step toward diversification by getting into the phosphate business. He pointed out, however, that the Companys primary business still remains the production, transmission and distribution of natural gas. We believe the future of this business Is bright, particularly in the area we serve, he said. Our natural gas operations are centered in what we call Mountain Fuel Country -mainly along the Wasatch Front in Utah and in Wyoming.
