Gemignani of the Youth Development and Delinquency Prevention Administration, a unit of the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS) of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The grant will be used to establish youth services systems in Salt Lake City and in Weber County as a first step toward developing a statewide network of such systems. Under a youth services system, local youth and local public and private organizations, aided by federal and state agencies, coordinate existing programs for youth and establish needed additional services. SRS Denver Regional Commissioner James Burress explains that the aim is to divert youth from the juvenile justice system by making available to them a variety of services that will help them fill satisfying and socially acceptable roles in their communities. The goal in Utah is to reduce juvenile court cases by six percent in Salt Lake City and Weber County during the first year the systems are fully operational, according to Burress. Youth centers will be established in both communities to refer youth to cooperating agencies, to evaluate the effectiveness of the services they receive, and Mountain Fuel Earnings Down From Previous Year Earnings of Mountain Fuel Supply Company and subsidiary for the first six months of 1972 and for the period ending June 30, 1972, were lower than earnings for the comparable 'periods a year ago, it was reported by M. M. Fidlar, president. For the first six months of 1972, earnings applicable to common stock were $5,196,630, or $2.05 a share, compared with restated earnings of $6,184,969, or $2.44 a share for the same period in 1971. For the 12 months ending June 30, 1972, earnings for common were $7,032,954, or $2.77 a share, compared with restated earnings of $8,480,355, or $3.34 a share for the 12 months ending June 30, 1971. (Earnings were restated due to the acquisition of Interstate Brick Company on April 21, 12-mon- th 1971.) Mr. Fidlar said that lower earnings are the result of warmer weather, which cut down the demand for natural gas during the heating season, and increasing costs. Although the Company was granted rate relief in both Utah and Wyoming to offset higher prices of gas supplies and to accelerate its exploration program to find new gas reserves, the effective date of the rate relief in Utah could not be made of 1972, well after until mid-Ma- y the higher revenue heating season. Appeals are presently pending in both Utah and Wyoming to acmodify or revoke the recent tions taken by the respective Public Service Commissions regranting the Companyis rate lief, but the Company hopeful the Commission orders will be sustained, Mr. Fidlar said.
