In fact, he said, would violate the ban 'Lifting the intent ofthe Legislature." To clarify the Commissions role in carrying out the intent of the Legislature, Chairman Church last week sought a legal opinion from the Attorney Generals office. The returning veetrans represent, as in all wars, a cross section of America, but chiefly they are highly employable and eager to catch up with their careers. They are better educated and betetr trained than veterans of earlier wars and like them, eager to capitalize on their military experiences as they enter the civilian labor market. Unfortunately, far too many of them have had disproportionate difficulty in finding jobs so that they can apply their abilities and energies, and make use of their That opinion was issued Monday by Asst. Attorney General Mark Madsen. He said, the Commission can only permit the use of studded tires so long as they do not cause significant damage to Utah highways. Because the Road Commission has determined that there has been significant damage, the Commission has no further authority other than to support the Legislative ban on the use of such tires. training and qualifications. Finding jobs for veterans should be the first order of business. It is not something that can be left entirely to Phone Recycling government which has provided special assistance to veterans, has expended massive funds for schooling and training, and has created thousands of new city and state jobs for veterans through the Emergency Employment Started Years Ago Act. Jobs are basically a local affair local, because thats where the jobs are, not only in our big companies, but in the medium size businesses and small organizations. Every employer should develop a veteran priority program within his company. Personnel directors should be instructed to look first to our pool of unemployed veterans whenever an opening occurs and to strive to create jobs which veterans can fill. Listing job openings with the United States Employment Service, where veterans have referral priority, and finding out more about Vet- erans Administration programs are good first steps. Let us all make the folding of jobs for our veterans, especially the deserving disabled veterans who have special needs, a community and a personal matter. body go limp your relaxed enough if you feel you can barely lift an arm or leg.

From telephones to phone booths to switchboard cabinets, to bells and signal lamps nothing is too small to be exempt from careful inspection. The unit looks and performs like a new piece of equipment. New and better ways are being found to reclaim dated equipment. For instance, W.E. sends telephone handset cords to the Columbus Community Training Center for refurbishing. Mentally and physically handicapped students at the Center restore 600 to 800 cords daily and each cord is sorted according to color and condition then tested electronically for breaks in wiring before being washed and dried. Cords that have been used out of their normal curl are rewound on a special machine. Any scrap telephone equipment parts, together with scrap cable, wire and other material are bundled and shipped to the Western Electric Nassau plant in New York for reclaiming. Nasau is thus able to supply 30 percent of the Bell Systems yearly copper requirement. Nassau also recovers brass and aluminum even gold.

The law specifically stated that no tire on a vehicle moved on a highway shall have on its periphery any block, stud, flange, cleat or spike or any other protuberance of any material other than rubber which project beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire. Several new designs are being employed in the manufacture of studded snow tires, including a new plastic stud. A snow tire that employs a series of steel coils has also been in use several years. None of these winter tires are legal under Utah law.
