Utah enjoys growth pattern above the national average The year 1973 was a year of paradoxes and contradictions for most Utahns, according to Utah Foundation, the private, nonprofit public service agency.

Utah State finances were in an unusually healthy state, but the very surpluses were for the Governor, legislative leaders, and many private economists matters of special concern. The ready availability of money was bound to increase pressures for spending by the 1974 Legislature, but programs begun in times of prosperity can become critical problems in less affluent times. Economists predicted that eventually the economy must cool, and pointed out that when it does the rise in state revenues must inevitably level off accordingly. While Utah appeared to be favorably situated compared to many states in face of the national energy crisis, have adequate supplies of natural gas and of electricity to meed immediate and needs, the problem of gasoline supply was the same in the Beehive State as in other parts of the nation. If gas rationing should be imposed nationally, Utah and other Mountain States where distances between communities are unusually great and where mass transit facilities are few would be at a relative disadvantage unless special allowance were made for these factors. The cost of living continued to soar e Flaming Gorge ice & weather conditions told throughout 1973, the Foundation noted in its review of the year past, with food price increases leading the way.

UP&L suspends Promotional Advertising Utah Power & Light Co., today reveathat it had, on January 1, 1974, suspended all advertising of a promotional nature (that which is intended to increase the use of electric energy). The firm's president, E. Allan Hunter, said, We took this action so that our company rould continue to be in step with national energy conservation efforts, and not because of any present or impending shortage of electricity in our service area. We feel that our promotion of the use of electric heating and security lighting has been in the best interests of our customers and useful in the national longterm program for conservation of energy over 90 percent of the electricity we deliver to our customers is generated using coal as the fuel, and coal is our nation's most abundant fuel (over 200 years supply). However, we also believe that it is important for UP&L, as an energy company, to recognize and support national policies which call for suspension of advertising that encourages use of energy of any kind at this time. In connection with the announcement, James Shoemaker, the firm's public affairs manager, said, This is an extension of our announcement of last February, at which time we stopped all promotional advertising except for heating and security lighting. There is no change contemplated in the institutional advertising is advertising which proprogram-th- is vides information to customers on ways to get the most out of their electric service, and provides news concerning the company's energy supply, steps being taken to protect the environment, and other information of interest and benefit to its customers." led From DUCHESNE HIGH SCHOOL Wednesday January 23, a Karate demonstration was performed for the A Karate school from Roosevelt presented the demonstration, showing the students different karate techniques.

Utah was the fifth fastest-growinstate in the nation in the 1970's, according to estimates of the U. S. Census Bureau, which placed Utah's population at 1,157,000 on July 1, 1973, 9.23 above the official 1970 Census count of 1,059,273 Only Arizona, Florida, Nevada and Colorado showed greater percentage increase in population over the same period. No state lost population over the three-yea- r period (though the District of Columbia did), but some large eastern states registered minimal gains, such as New York's g Airman assigned to Chanute AFB Airman Douglas G. Minton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Minton, Duchesne, has been assigned to Chanute AFB, 111., after completing Air Force basic training.

The airman has been assigned to the Technical Training Center at Chanute for specialized training in the missile maintenance field. Personal income in the United States passed the $1 trillion ($1000 billion) mark for the first time in 1973. Personal income in Utah showed a greater percentage increase in 1973 over 1972 than did that of the nation, but the per capita income gain in Utah was below the national average, due to the above average population increase in Utah. More than one third of total personal income in Utah went for taxes in 1973, 60 of the tax total for Federal taxes. However, state tax collections were up nearly 17 in Utah in 1973, compared to a rise of 12 in Federal taxes (and 5 in local taxes). There were no increases in the rates of any Utah state taxes in 1973, the increased returns resulting from the unusual pace of the economy. courage that process. Utah Community Progress is the new plan that will help local community leaders plan a logical pattern for growth and development, and for those towns that need it, a shot in the arm. In Utah, as in every other state, people are leaving our small towns to move to the cities, Governor Rampton said. This migration leaves parts of rural Utah with a dwindling economy and a bleak future. At the same time, the cities cannot easily handle the booming growth. To help solve these problems, we've created Utah Community Progress. In this way, we as Utahns can make a real effort-i- n time for our Nation's 200th birthday in 1976-- to improve our quality of life, the Governor explained. One aspect of the new program will be cash awards to communities that excel in the categories of most overall progress, intergovernmental cooperation, planning and initiating, human relations and cultural enrichment, economic development, physical environment, and community service. Governor Rampton urged all local community leaders, if they haven't done so already, to obtain a copy of the Utah Community Progress workbook by contacting the Department of Community Affairs, 101 State Capitol Building, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114.

Bennett, today a bill in the Senate to provide federal funds for each state to restore one historic site as part of the nation's 200th birthday celebration. He said the Utah State Bicentennial Commission has selected the Devereaux House, 334 W. South Temple, as the state's proposed historic site to be preserved under the bill. Under provisions of the legislation, known as the Meeting House preservation Act, the Secretary of Interior can make grants of up to $1 million to each state and U. S. territory for preservation of one historical site to serve as the focus-o- f the Bicentennial celebration. The funds would be used for the acquisition of the historic property, restoration planning and actual restoration work, maintenance of the building and staffing costs. Sen. Bennett said. Following restoration, the buildings will be used as public meeting house and central location for preservation activities, Sen. Bennett said. The Devereaux House, constructed as the William Staines residence in 1857. was one of the earliest mansions in Utah, and was built about the same time as the Beehive House. In 1867 it was acquired by William Jennings, a Salt Lake merchant whose store was incorporated into the Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institute. Jennings named the house after the Devereaux Estates in England, where he was born. The house was once used as an alcoholic rehabilitation renter, and for the past several years has been used as the general offices for a distributor of mining equipment.
