POPULATION COUNT IS NEEDED Another area where counts the greatest needs in in our our area right now, opiare important, would be for law of accurate is some an sort enforcement. The number of nion, count as to the population at people in a given area is perhaps the greatest determining factor present. One of We have made inquiries into the possibilities of having an taken again, because of the vast change since the 1970 count. It was found that such a count could be requested, but there is a great deal of cost involved, and it is questionable whether the new figures could be used to alter allocations or revenues to any extent. Consequently this avenue has not been taken. However, in order to determine where we stand now, so far as population is concerned in various communities, and throughout the county, a count is needed. There have been many estimates, some based on reliable information. fairly There are some "guestimate" figures flying around that run the gamut from extremely conservative to "wild. In order to be consistent in presenting a picture of growth here, the population figures need to be more authentic and coordinated. Is it possible that some organization, or perhaps a function within Utah State University that could undertake a population count. We doubt that it would have to be of the magnitude of the national census. It would not be necessary to answer any questions. All we would need would be a count, and we feel this could be done feasibly. There are a number of reasons why such a count is important First, since we know what the population figures were in 1970, accurate figures now would give us an idea how our services and facilities are filling their needs. Design features of Water and sewer systems in Roosevelt and Duchesne were lor a growth factor of some 200. Has this figure been reached? If so, what needs to be done to increase the capacity of sewage facilities, and what new water supplies are needed. "official census as to how many officers are needed. This need could vary greatly between the low and high estimates as to how many people are in the area at the present time. If someone has a suggestion as to what can be done to complete a comprehensive count throughout the area, we would like to hear from them. We feel it would be a great service to the county and to the individual communities.

Starting time will be 7:30 p.m. The Utah high school activities asenabe-lin- g sociation recently passed a high school basketball and football coaches to hold summer clinics after July 1. The by-lareads as follows: "Section 4. (c) participation on organized competitive football or basketball teams by a high school athlete after the close of an official sports season is forbidden until the designated beginning sport season dates as established by the Board of Directors of the Utah high school activities association for the ensuing school year. Summer clinics on an individual school basis may be held with the approval and direction of the local school administration and with the approval of the local boards of edu; cation. "The two basic principles governing the development and operation of summer programs should be: (a) all educational programs for high school students should be kept in balance so that no single program robs any other program of its fair and proper share of attention in the students' experiences, and (b) all students should have equal opportunity to compete for a position on a team. There should be no discrimation against any student in the operation of summer physical development activites, and participation in such programs will not be prerequisite to membership in schools athletic program" The clinic will be directed by Coach Lynn Patterson and there will be no charge. by-la- 1 Critics of Alaskan pipeline ignore nation's thirst for STUDY prepared by the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, still not made public, reportedly blames major oil companies for the current fuel shortage. A Union sponsors clinic for PUN? TY Anticompetitive" practices, according to reports leaked" to the news media, have been fostered by government regulation and manipulated by oil producers to protect their profits. Further the study charges that the large oil companies have used the shortage in an effort to eliminate their independent competition. The FTC study does not dispute, however, the reality of the gap between fuel demand and fuel supply. And the alleged mishandling of oil resources does not alter the fact that new resources must be developed to meet the critical needs of an economy, that runs on oil.

Two Democratic Senators, Walter Mondale of Minnesota and Birch Bayh of Indiana, seek to exploit public suspicions of those oil company profits by pressing recommendations for an alternate pipeline route through Canada.
