A combination of these must be achieved if the industrys rate of return on its investment is to be sufficient to attract the enormous capital it needs to fulfill its responsibilities, it has become increasingly clear that efforts to increase fuel supplies, and to meet environmental goals while doing so, will mean an increase in cost to the consumer. No amount of political camouflage can for long hide these facts. The Young Will Conserve Everything But Themselves Young people are providing much of the brains and muscle for almost every conservation cause except one, the Insurance Information Institute reports. They cant seem to get interested in conserving their own lives and health on the highways. The reports from the various states are in and, once again, the young drivers 15 through 24 kill and die more than any other group of drivers. Nearly a third of all the people who died in traffic in 1970 were in that dangerous span from 15 to 24. Thats about 18,000 young men and women who died and nearly a million who were injured last year. These young drivers constitute less than 20 per cent of the driving population but they make up nearly one-thiof the dead and injured. Those that survive join the more cautious drivers in higher age groups. A survival instinct seems to set in about age 25 and grows stranger each year. Among persons aged 15 to 24, highway crashes are the major single cause of death, equalling all the other causes combined, according to a study made for and issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Nobody, least of all their elders, is going to force safer driving habits on young people, but their peers might . The young as a group can be imaginative and effective when they decide a cause is worth their support. How can we get them to save themselves the Institute asks. Game Biologists Busy In Utah Research Game biologists and conservation officers have a busy schedule making counts and gathering data during the spring months. Information gained in this period aids game managers in management of game birds and animals and the setting of seasons to insure an adequate harvest. Waterfowl area managers are making breeding counts of ducks on their marshes; these ground counts are supplemented by an annual aerial census. Brood counts of geese are also made during the spring to determine nesting success. Upland game bird count made in the spring include sage grouse struting ground counts and the mourning dove coo counts. Game bird broods are also counted in the spring. Big game aerial counts give way to ground surveys of general herd and range conditions. These range rides also help to determine the extent of winter losses.

The seminars will be available through local chambers of commerce to motel, restaurant and service station personnel. Each of the travel related services has its own program designed specifically to acquaint employees with the needs of the visitors to Utah. The programs feature a vocational training film on the importance of treating the traveler with courtesy and a slide presentation of local scenic and recreational attraction. Lee Jorgensen, director of the Utah Travel Council, says, Last year the state hosted more than seven million out of state motor vehicle visitors who spent $115 million for services. We can increase that expenditure by enticing visitors to stay longer. He added. We believe travel industry personnel generate the tourist business by following the guidelines of the Education Seminars. The Utah Travel Council will be working with local chambers of commerce and civic organizations to schedule presentation dates for local communities. The programs are available to individual motels, restaurants, and service stations on a loan basis provided they agree to make the program a regular part of the employee training efforts. The Traveler Education Seminar programs may also be purchased for permanent use. are combined with information gained during the remainder of the year to provide a scientfic basis for the management of Utahs game birds and animals.
