S. Office of Education, HEW Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger has announced. The money comes from a 1966 amendment to Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 which provides special education and supportive services to children of migratory agricultural workers. Nationwide, the program served some 275,000 children at a cost of $65 million last year. The programs are designed to try to make up for the frequently interrupted and ineffective schooling migrant children receive as they and their parents follow the harvests. The most important objective of the Utah State Migrant Education program will be to help each mgirant child to improve his opinion of himself through a variety of learning activities, including reading and oral communications skills, mathematics, science, social studies, music and art and physical education. Transportation, regular meals, and medical and dental care will also be parts of the projects. The Migrant Student Record Transfer System, a computerized nationwide information system, which became fully operational over the past year, will make it possible for the students health and school records to follow them from school to school in a matter of hours. The Utah counties participating in the porgram this year are Box Elder, Cache, Carbon, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and Weber. Home Construction In Utah Reaches Spectacular Activity The spectacular activity in residential construction during the past two years apparently is continuing into 1973 as mortgage loans made by Utahs insured savings and loan associations reached 584 for $17,685,-33- 3 in January. This compares with 404 loans totaling $11,225,-42- 0 in January, 1972. Emerson L. Hardy, president of the Utah Savings and Loan League, said total loans outstanding with insured savings and loan associations in the state have now surpassed the $775 million mark. Insured savings and loan associations continue to be leaders in home financing. Mr. Hardy said insured savings and loan associations have become more important to the housing market in recent years because of the increasing use of conventional loans as contrasted to government backed loans and the virtual wiping out of the differential in yields between long term mortgage loans and long term corporate bonds. The decline in this differential caused other institutional investors to veer away from the residential mortgage market and for these reasons and also because of the aggressiveness of insured savings and loan associations, in Utah investing the flow of savings available to them, the savings and loan role in supporting the residential housing market, especially in single family dwellings, jumped sharply. THE SALT LAKE TIMES County Recreation Department Forms Softball Leagues for 73 Salt Lake County Recreation Department Supt. Gary C. Swen-se- n said that the softball leagues sponsored by that department will get under way April 30 with most games being played at the Big Cottonwood Softball Complex. He indicated that over 200 softball teams are expected to compete in this years program. The softball program that includes both slow pitch and fast pitch competitoin, is one of the largest leagues anywhere in the nation. This year the deadline for team registration is April 1. Registration forms are available through the office of the County Recreation Dept., and once again the Mens Athletic Supervisor, Ron Boren will head up the soft ball program. League fees for the upcoming season are as follows: Slow Pitch - $95 plus $1 per player Fast Pitch - $125 plus $1 per player Metro Slow Pitch - $230 plus $5 per player Metro Fast Pitch - $260 plus $5 per player In making the announcement, Mr. Swensen noted that there has been one chance concerning the programs eligibility rules. This year players will be restricted as to the number of nights that htey can play in the Recreation Leagues. A player can play two nights a week. This means that a player can play in one metro league or two single night leagues, which ever he chooses. This ruling has been put into effect to allow more participants to become involved in the popular program.
