Show BOX 2503 CITY SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Gov. and Mrs. Rampton Receive Brotherhood Service Award Governor and Mrs. Calvin L. Rampton Governor and Mrs. Calvin L. Rampton were honored by the receipt of the annual Brotherhood Service Award from the National Conference of Christians and Jews. The award was presented by Dr. O. C. Tanner, who himself received the award in 1971. Dr. Tanner honored the Governor and his wife when he told the audience that "a great team which has raided the quality of life was given. Dr. Tanner went on to say that "the highest attainment of brotherhood is inspiring others to practice broth- s. erhood. They both inspire us to achieve more in life each in his or her own way and our community is much richer for it. "The Governor has achieved the nearly impossible, he has harmonized politics with brotherhood, both hard tasks for one person to do both at the same time must set a record. We were all created with a spark of brotherhood in our hearts. These two people have practiced this brotherhood in different ways, the Governor through politics and Mrs. Rampton through culture, and we are all grateful to you both, Mr. Tanner said. The Governor then took his turn at the speakers chair and said that Mrs. Ramptons wa more deserving than he. "Whatever the justification may be for any recognition of our contribution to the people of this state it is more because of her efforts than of mine. She has been my eyes and ears and more than that she is my social conscience. This is a team effort and I appreciate this award more because it is a joint award. Manford A. Shaw, president of Westminster College and of the Utah chapter of the NCCJ, reviewed the past years efforts. The Utah chapter has held many multifaith conferences and breakfasts, a seminar or community police relation and the sponsorship of a scholarship for a student of international study were among the reported projects of the Utah chapter. The Utah chapter of the National Conference of Christians and Jews presents the award to "those whose life and work have contributed significantly to the improvement of human relations and intergroup understanding. co-chair- Auditor Tells Commission About Problem of Overlapping Services The Salt Lake County Auditor, Gerald R. Hansen, said that the couunty must change the present county commission set up and consolidate services being duplicated by communities around the valley, but continue to elect the full slate of elected officials to run the government bodies. Mr. Hansen appeared before the county local government modernization study commission and urged that the county must adopt new ways and more efficient means to eliminate many duplicated services. Mr. Hansen said that the present system of the commission form of government would be fine if it operated in practice the way it does in theory, but that it does not. "Foir many years the commission form of government deteriorates into a political situation. Thats a very, very bad Instead, Mr. Hansen system.. a situation where the suggested government body is removed from the day to day operations of government and left to take an interest in policymaking alone. Mr. Hansen disagreed with the concept of getting more efficiency from appointed professionals than from elected officials. He said that his reason for this was that which revolves around the belief that although (Continued on page 8) 81101 FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1973 State Official Sees No Fuel Shortage in the Future of the State Airport Advisory Group Told S.L. County Will Cooperate Fully The Utah Airport Advisory Council said that it had been informed by Salt Lake County Commission' Chairman Ralph Y. McClure that Salt Lake .County will give all possible cooperation to devolpment of the Salt Lake City International Airport. William G. Bruhn State Community Affairs Official William G. Bruhn said that Utah faces no shortage of gasoline in the near future, Mr. Bruhn said in his report to the Governor that his staff drew data from the Bureau of Mines, the Utah State Tax. Commission and the Utah Division of Oil and Gas Conservation. The report, which was submitted to the state showed form of the indication which will be facing Utah in the near future. The indications which the report show are that the "tax commission and the Bureau of Mines disagree slightly, but both show a very slight decline in gasoline production in Utah during 1972. "That the demand for gasoline is steadily increasing but no figures exist which show Utah demand will exdeed refinery capacity in the near future. In fact, the report says during 1972 Utah consumed only 66 per cent of the total fuel refined. "Utah refineries are at present not able to handle all the crude oil produced in Utah and are glutted with over supply of the crude. "Local shortages seem likely only in other states buying more Utah products to drive prices up and take away the many supplies. "That the data collected is through December 1972 and does not show 1972 to have been significantly different than 1973 in terms of gasoline available for consumption.

In a recent University of Wisconsin survey, over 40 per cent of those responding said they y hunt primarily because they nature or want a chance to Other popular "get outdoors. reasons for going afield were, "having a good time with my friends and "enjoying a change of pace.

Mr. McClure said that the county zoning and planning staff will draft an ordinance to fit into the citys already drawn up master plan for the development of the airport. The area in question was recently zoned for agricultural use and the commission said that it might be possible to keep it zoned for agriculture and satisfy requirements within those restrictions and not to have to draft a new ordinance. The federal government requires zoning specifications for airports be met before it will release funds. City Parks Department official Leonard Cosco said that the area needs to be zoned for safe approach and glide patterns and height dimitations on buildings and use of land will be designated. Airport officials said that the Federal Aviation Agency reimbursed the city $4.7 million for land it has purchased over a number of yetars. The money is for land acquisition for the existing airport and not for a proposed third runway. Primarily the land is for north and south approach zones. The airport must own the land for air safety for glide slopes and safety protection to allow larger aircraft. The larger airplanes will begin to use Salt Lake City International Airport this year. The Boeing 747 will begin to make regular flights into Salt Lake City and must have the runway space for the larger planes. TODAYS v Energy Outlook i In the United States, it is expected that there will be at elast 37 million more people and a total population level of around 241 million by the year 1985. It is also expected that per capita use of energy is likely to increase by two thirds during this period of time. Frank M. Warren, president of Portland General Electric, reports tliat, If the current environmental attitude continues to prevail, enormous amounts of energy will be required to achieve the desired results. An additional stimulus to increasing energy consumption will be provided by our continuing efforts to improve the economic and social well being of the underprivileged. If our national goals are to be reached, certain definite steps must be taken without delay. Mr. Warren calls for the creation of a National Energy Council to coordinate government actions in dealing with the energy problem national energy policy. Reand develop a long-ransearch and development efforts must be accelerated, ways must be found to use our vast coal resources with minimum pollution impact; and as a nation we must learn to balance our energy requirements with our environmental concern. Most important of all, the public must understand that if we are to have adequate energy supplies, particularly with minimum impact upon the cn- ( Continued on page 4) ge |
