Many will ask what can be done to shorten the lead times. The answer is, not very much. A paper on the subject by Shell Oil Co. states that, In some activities a sufficient concentration of brains and money can solve problems through crash action. In the oil industry, however, planners must think in terms of several ye ars, not months. An understanding of the time factor in oil operations is fundamental. These are facts about the energy story with which the public should be familiar. They should help to stimulate less tolerance toward unnecessary delays in undertaking the tremendous job of catching up with Americas energy needs. Counting Bluebirds Helps Despite the many dreary headlines, there is much more good than bad to be found in the 'United States in 1973. We as a nation can be proud of our many accomplishments and find much to encourage our national peace of mind. We have a record 83 million people employed. For the first time in many yeans, the U.S. is virtually free from war, and this in turn has eased the drain on our national resources, reduced suffering and saved lives. Racial rioting has stopped for the most part, and minority groups are winning the battle of equal opportunity. Demands for better law enforcement have brought some real improvement and results can be seen on several fronts. Crime rates are dropping, police are receiving better training; stepped up attacks on drug problems and prosecution of illegal business practices are showing positive results as well. America in 1973 is not headed down the path of self destruction and doom foreseen by the pessimists in our midst, but rather toward achieving the promise of a better life for everyone that it has laways held. Sure, there are some dark clouds on our national landscape, but while, contemplating them it doesnt hurt to count the bluebirds that are before our eyes. More Female Workers Miniskirts are invading the business world in greater numbers than ever before. The Wall Street Journal explains why 42 per cent of the female population is out it isnt to support any war effort. Nor working, is to to flex their rights and strike blows for womens lib. llather, its for a more basic reason: money. The upsurge in female workers may be attributed to several reasons. The Journal says, More employers are living up to the spirit of the Civil Rights Acts of 1934. which requires that men and women be given equal consideration, and to the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which requires equal pay for equal work. Also many employers have been pinched for skilled labor and are discovering that women can do the jobs as well, and at times better, than men. That could account for the fact that nearly two thirds of the labor force increase in the last decade has been :female. So the next time the lady of the house is nowhere to be found, just follow the sound of hammering she may be down the street building a new city hall! ...

A Shot in the Dark 1 d r the antifungal chemical has proved to be highly active against the disease, but injection of a sufficient amount to offer protection has not been possible with large trees. Now two groups of scientists have developed a high pressure injection technique that can introauce 20 gallons of the chemical into large trees in 10 to 30 minutes. Tests showed that the solution reached even small twigs and leaves. The technique has been used so far only to protect successfully trees which were innoculated artificially with the disease. Ideal conditions for treatment of diseased trees have yet to be worked out. The injection has been developed by the Illinois Natural History Survey. The United States Senate approved 1974 appropriations for reclamation and flood control that included some $8.8 million in new funds for the Central Utah projects. An additional $7 million in money carried over from 1973 will give the projects $15.8 million this year, if the House approves a similar amount in new funds. The Central Utah project is awaiting authority of the Interior Department with contracting which must file the required environmental impact statement before new work can start. The Salt Lake County general fund will show a profit of about $400 per month from the con- operation at the jail. It was reported that for the first six months of this years operation commissary collection were $2,419. This amount includes a 25 percent profit margin but that the profit margin wiul be reduced to 18 or 20 per cent.
