Many areas have off the old bicycles in anticipa- programs designed to accomplish this with bikes checked regution of spring. But along with cleaning, greasing and tire pumping, now is the time to review the basic safety rules governing This is especially important for the thousands of kids riding brand-nebikes on the roads for the first time. Parents of these newcomers to bike riding should be sure their children know the rules of the road before sending their kids out on the streets to compete for space with cars, trucks and pedestritwo-wheele- rs. w ans. Remember that bicycles are vehicles and have road rights just like automobiles. Althogh bike riders should keep to the right and in single file and should obey all traffic laws, motorists must remember that most cyclists are pedestrians at heart. Automobile drivers should slow down and take special care when passing them. Because children are unpredictable, especially when riding their bikes, be alert for bicycles darting from between parked cars or shooting down driveways into traffic. Never trust a child on a bicycle to obey traffic sign or signal. Unfortunately, many youngsters think these are just for automobiles. Make sure the bikes over larly for brakes, chain guards, lights and reflective devices among others. Some parents are seeing that in addition to the bikes tail reflector, additional material is placed on the side, front and rear. Suggested applications clude the rear fender, handlebars and front forks of the biin- cycle. And since most of the readily visible area of a bicycle and rider is on the rider himself, sew-o- n reflective fabric also is being applied to the riders jacket, sweatshirt and pants. Last, if you have young bicyclers in your home, make sure they know the rules of the road and the importance of obeying all traffic laws, whether theyre designed especially for bicycles or not. And is you decide to take a bicycle for a spin yourself, dont forget to practice what youve been preaching. Teifa Makm Uih 7 860 AM 93.3 322-581- 9 Lectureships Given By State Board Sen.

Utah Ttechnical Colleges appropriation for the next fiscal year contains no money for added development of the schools new Orem campus during that time, but Governor Calvin L. Rampton has given assurance that action in this direction can be expected within the next few years. This was the statement today of Wilson W. Sorensen, Provo, Utah Technical College, who declared that increasing interest in vocational and technical education by young people of central and southern Utah should give added impetus to the project. Naturally, we are disappointed that our appropriation for the next fiscal year contained nothing toward development of the new campus, said President Sorensen. but we are now recruiting for prospective students among high school seniors of central and southern Utah young people who next fall will be high school graduates looking for a place to learn a vocational or technical occupation such as we can offer them. And the interest shown thus far convince us that an expanded school is a necessity for the future. The school now has an Orem campus site of 173 acres, located in the bend of and Orem 12th South access road. It has been acquired over a period of several years, with the aim of moving Utah Technical College to the new site as soon as possible thus escaping the present situation where it is hemmed in on all sides by other developments and cannot engage in needed expansion beyond its present small campus of 13 acres. President Sorensen expressed disappointment with the schools appropriation for the fiscal year July 1, 1970, to June 30, 1971, of $895,000. This is only 8 pet. above the current year, he said, and will allow only for a increase in salaries for the schools approximately 100 faculty members, plus an inflation percentage boost in the cost of necessary supplies and other operational costs, the start of the school 28 years ine Sstem Proposed For Municipal Improvement The Research and Policy Committee of the Committee for Economic Development (CED) has recommended a two-levgovernmental system for metropolitan areas. The new system levwould include an area-wid- e el of government containing one or more counties and a local level comprising community districts. In a policy statement, Reshaping Government in Metropolitan Areas, the private, nonpartisan group of businessmen and educators declared that the dual approach recognizes two preconditions for a revitalized metropolitan America the need for jurisdictions large enough to cope with problems that pervade entire areas, and, at the same time, the need for jurisdictions small enough to allow citizens to take part and take pride in the process of government. The statement was made public by Philip M. Klutz-nica vice chairman of CEDs Research and Policy Committee and chairman of the CED subcommittee that prepared the report. The statement stresses the impact of the existing local governmental structure on the lives of citizens who are confronted by a confusing maze of many possibly a dozen jurisdictions, each with its own bureaucratic This baffling arlabyrinth. ray of local units has made it difficult for citizens, both the advantaged and disadvantaged, to gain access to public services and to acquire a voice in policy decisions, the statement maintains. Despite citizen efforts to achieve local government consolidation, a fragmented structure persists, the report points out. This condition indicates a determination among local communities to control their own affairs and preserve their own identities. While such an attitude makes for greater local pride, it also results in failure of local communities to unite on matters of area-wid- e concern, such as environmental pollution and transportation congestion, which seriously undermine he ago.

Government in Metroshaping politan Areas supplements earlier CED statements on modernizing state and local government. What is needed, according to the report, is a governmental system that adequately recognizes the conflicting forces of area-wid- e and community control. Such a system must permit a genline sharing of power over functions between a larger unit and a smaller unit. It must recognize a larger unit to permit economies of scale, area-wid- e planning, and equities to finance. It must recognize a smaller unit to permit the exercise of local power over matters which affect the lives of local citizens. The statement suggests arrangements for sharing of power by the two levels over such functions as planning, transportation, education, welfare, public health, and housing. Some functions should be assigned in their entirety to the area-wid- e government, others to the local level, but most will be assigned in part to each level. the report says. The statement's emphasis, however, is on the sharing of power and responsibility and not on the assignment of entire functions to either level. As the basic framework for the new area-wid- e government, the study recommends that, where the metropolitan area is contained within one county, a reconstituted county government should be used. Where the metropolitan area spreads over several counties or towns, a new jurisdiction should be created which embraces all of its territory. The community districts, ments with functions readjusted to the two-levsystem, together with new districts in areas where no local unit exists. The new community districts should not be imposed from without, but created through local initiative by the simplest possible methods. el Utah Fish &Game Safety and good manners call for snow-inohilion roads and trails, not over or through fences, gates or other places where damage may occur. ng Enjoy the calm beauty of winter outdoors. 11c considerate of others property and the weakened condition of wildlife. in the committees view, might consist of existing local govern- |
