In an announcement, Utah Power & Light Co. and Geothermal Kinetics, Inc. said they- had entered into a joint venture that provides 50 percent ownership for each in a company drilling for geothermal steam at a location north of Brigham City, Utah. The new exploration company will sell all usable steam developed to UP&L Co. E. A. Hunter, president of UP&L Co., cautioned that even if the first well produced steam, it might take as much as a year of testing to determine its quality and long-terpotential and whether it would be practical to build a generating station there. At the present time The Geysers, north of San Francisco, is the only site in the United States producing electricity from geothermal energy. steam At that field, is fed into turbines generating 400,-00- 0 kilowatts, and the power is fed & . into the system of Pacific Gas Electric Co. - m earth-produc- II ed Underground Steam Geothermal power is generated by utilizing steam generated underground as a result of water reaching high temperatures heated by magmu (molten rock) beneath the earths surface. Although there are numerous places where such geothermal possibilities exist, it is usually deemed practical for purposes of power generation to drill wells only in areas where the geology suggests that steam or hot water is relatively near the surface. There are only six electric generating installations using geothermal steam in the entire world today the installation in California is the largest. At the California geothermal power installation, steam lines from a number of well heads are routed to a central station where the steam enters the steam turbines. It is hoped that the exploration in which UP&L Co. is engaged will find steam or hot water which could be flashed to steam. ...

If the New Utah means, as seems highly plausible, that the state has departed from a long range growth rate in employment in the neighborhood of 3 percent per. year and moved to a substantially higher rate, then the public and private sector planners should be advised to expect a 1980 population in Utah that is easily 100,- new source of energy for producing electricity. However, it will probably not provide a large percentage of the electricity needed by our customers in the foreseeable future.

The social contingencies pushed lor success. The respect accorded the trader, the merchant, the build- i were such that it impelled the oung to join this elite group. By the time a men was eighteen, Mr. Young said he should have a farm and a bride. The fact that he couldnt get an FHA loan or finance his equipment, seeds and fertilizer at a Federal Land Bank, was hardly considered an excuse. If he couldnt get a government grant to put his land in a soil bank, or the fact that he didnt have a county office manager of the USDA to bring him a check, was not considered a reason for not following his leaders advise. Utah Decline When, during some of the intervening years, these four ingredients were somehow misplaced, Utah went into a decline. Its cities decayed, and some of its towns abandoned, its banks conservative and its young people left the state in large numbers. The calm discourse, the rationalization of why things had to be as they were yesterday, and the imposition of silence upon the language of change all produced economic stagnation. The risk taken was greeted with skepticism. The reasons often given were the explanations of material shortages and geographical deficiencies. Cause of Resurgence The growth in industry, government, recreation, education, banking, tourism, and even athletics during the sixties was not produced by some lucky infusion of capital or discovery of new natural resources. Rather, they were the effect of a renewed achievement motivation which began and grew during that period. motivation which produced the economic growth, and not the other way around. Mainly a new attention to objectives . emerged. During the sixties in Utah, considerable effort went into thinking ahead. The sixty million dollar bond issue for the Universities and colleges, the research park, the rise of goals centered businesses, the rise of city and state planning-agencies- , the drive of disadvantaged people to better themselves including the resurgence of Indians and Chicanos, and the turbulent days on campus when young people turned to improving the quality of their own life created a goals centered format' Hie church under amaz- ingly objectives centered leadership its own face.

The can be anticiin pated the numbers of people who will have the higher incomes with which to bid for the recreational opportunities, land for low density housing, transportation servicer, advanced educational experiences, and all the other goods and services of an affluent society to which the people of Utah, it can be assumed, will continue to aspire. Cautioned on Layoffs and Age Discrimination Employers should be careful not to violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act should workforce cutbacks be necessary because of the energy crisis, the U.S. Department of Labor cautioned comes. One correction must initially be made in the time series of per capita personal income before the expectations of future incomes are examined. The command over possible consumption represented by personal income needs to be corrected for the changes in the prices of what is purchased. today. The law, which protects workers 40 to 65 , prohibits discrimination because of age. AT THE SALT PALACE EXHIBIT HALL Evangelism is often a matter of objectives motivation, and when sparked and fanned does not extinguish itself. The evangelist returns to more profane pursuit on to secular concerns. The young bishops in the wards, and the restructuring of the educational programs to stress goals for life, created a language of ' achievement and cultural reinforcement for success. Life, it was suggested, was to be lived on an inclined plane upward. Culture Reinforced The achievement centered culture was also reinforced by the kind of person who was an immigrant to the valley. Industries such as Litton, LTV, Univac, Utah Power tt and Light, Mountain Bell, and were managed by objectives, reflecting the high achievement motivations of their founders and chief executives. The University proved to be a fertile breeding ground for people who desired to achieve. In many instances, this achievement was for a better quality of life, a clearer environment, and a world of peace and love. In others, it was for more tangible goals such as carreer success in politics, business, or the professions. Their sharp protests y against the dull gray look of which they saw helped move those they shoved. It became more comfortable to. move than to rest, to grow than to shrink.

Projected Income Increases Because this article is intended to sketch the great increases that can be expected to continue to occur in market opportunities and demands on resources in Utah, it is desirable to err on the understatement side and for this purpose, real incomes in Utah will be assumed to increase at the lower projected national rates of the Department of Commerce work. These rates are below the recent Utah experience and would have the effect of holding constant the ratio of Utah to national income at the 83 percent level of 1972. The reason for this limited assumption is not only to produce a conservative estimate of expected change but also to implicitly incorporate the realization Utahs family size is not likely to drop to national levels, and that will tend to dampen the rate of increase in per person income that would otherwise occur. At the 2.215 percent continuation, the $3,267 per capita income in constant value 1969 dollars would increase to $3,893 per person in 1980. The now plausible 3.072 rate produces a 1980 personal income of $4,162 per person in 1969 dollars. that 1980 Income Level The question of greater importance than that of how high will be the income of the highest income receivers, is how many will rise above the given level of income, for example, of $15,000 in 1969 dollars by 1975 and 1980. Just as under our assumption, $15,000 in 1969 will become $20,923 in 1980. $10,-00- 0 in 1969 will become $13,949 in 1980 and thus a substantial bulk of the $10,000 to $15,000 group would emerge above a $15,000 level even assuming no inby 1980 flation in prices to be taking place.

Human relationships between leaders and followers in the world today fall into one of several categories, all of which are present and all of which have been seen in our own society today. Set Lofty Goals The lessons are clear. Utah has been an achieving society and is on the threshold of being an even more successful model in that regard. The bright promise is that it holds more potential for becoming a shining example in a world where people have become more exacting, hostile, judgmental and punitive toward one another. We can do this by starting again to set lofty oals, to embed the language of achievemtn into our qual- ty of life, building cognitive P013 or everyone who has high goals, and of creating group sup- or attainment. P01 May Change Sharply The past growth rates of income do not imply that any continuation into the future will be forthcoming because, while even the same cause system and basic economic and political structure may be maintained, the resulting phenomena may change sharply as the income related composition of demand and the population pressures on resource availabilities change as an inherent part of the growth process. It is, in fact, growth-relate- d processes of this nature that, altering Utahs position of being a re-- IB - National Motorcycle Speed and Sports Car 8how..4to11 pm 0 National Motorcycle Speed and Sports Car Noon to 11 pm Show Ford Marketing Corporation Sales Meeting & Display 19-2- saw'-Uta- on Employers ii 1 unemployment rates rise abervq the United States rates and the Utah population experience both appreciable net and rates of increases in income well below those of the United States. By 1969, the Utah per capita income at 80 percent of the United States level was so low that only ten of the 50 states had per capita incomes below Utahs. This sharply contrasts with the condition in 1959 where, even with Utahs large families, 20 states had incomes per person as low as or lower than Utahs. The relatively poor performance of the Utah economy in the years prior to 1969 cannot obscure the fact that incomes did grow in Utah during that period. With the real possibility that the growth trends of the sixties will be exceeded, the New Utah" will have both the opportunities, and unprecedented problems that come with more people and higher in- Demand for Resources r ( lb4 s!

The fact that Utah is growing, that economic development is taking place, and that the momentum is toward innovative new businesses and a new quality of life are clear. First, there is the visible evidence in downtown Salt Lake City. The Salt Palace, the new church office building, a dramatic rise in the number of new hotelB, the rise of other new buildings, the overhaul of Arrow Press and Trolley Squares, to say nothing of the outlying shopping malls, are tangible artifacts of a new success ethic which pervades the society. People or Things? Most explanations of economic development start with physical and tangible matters. If we could only have a better break on transportation costs, or attract more outside venture capital, or better promotional plans we would grow, it is said. Without them it was supposed we would stagnate. Yet there is a contrary view which is often overlooked which, I would propose, is better explanation of why Utah has surged ahead in the past ten years and especially in the past five. It is the fact that the leaders in all parts of Utah society have been caught up by a kind of Objectives Motivation which was sometimes missing in the past. This objectives motivation in its leadership accounts for our resurgence as a state in recent years, and must become the key concern of all of us as leaders, parents, teachers and businessmen in the future. The history of the valley itself is tangible evidence of this truth. When Brigham Young and his followen entered the Valley in 1849, they brought no major infusions of eastern captal on ther push carts. Pioneer Attributes They had objectives. They were more pushed by noble visions than the attraction of sure riches, or a steady pay check, or the conservation of extensive possessions. In abandoning Nauvoo to move west, they clearly demonstrate that dear and imperative goals are more im-portant than material matters in MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1973 uu Total ' 2564 Sources: U6.
