Show FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1973 Page Twelve Utah Parks System Embarks on Biggest Year in its History Utah Parks and Recreation programs planned for 1973-7- 4 are the largest in the history of the comparatively (since 1957) young state operation, and programmed expenditures for the year exceed total expenditures from the beginning of the parks operation to the start of the current fiscal period, it was reported by the Utah Foundation this week. Utah Foundation is the it private, public service agency which reports Regularly on the operations of state and local government in Utah. Legislative appropriations to the Parks and Recreation Divinon-prof- sion in 1973 totalled more than available lapsing funds have made $12 million, and nonpos- sible work programs totalling more than $14 million for fiscal 1973, the Foundation noted. This is 20 per cent more than all the money expended by the Division prior to this year. Nearly $12.6 million of the 1973-7- 4 work is for program acquisition and this sum is and development, more .than thret times the total previously spent for this purpose. Major reason for the enlarged program this year is the development of the Great Salt Lake Park on Antelope Island, for which the 1973 Legislature set up $5.5 million. Other major developments currently under way include $1 million for the Pioneer Trail State Park, and unprecedented amounts for a number of established parks properties, including Wasatch Mountain State Park, Utah Lake State Park, Starvation Lake State Beach, and Bear Lake and Willard Bay Recreational Areas. In addition to the greatly expanded State Parks Program, the new Provo Jordan Parkway Authority was set up by the 1973 Utah Legislature and is now operating. While the Provo-Jorda- n Parkway is not a part of the State Parks and Recreation Division, the two are closely related. Both are within the State Department of Natural Resources, and many features of the Provo-Jorda- n program are similar to Parks and Recreation undertakings. Joint aims of the Provo Jordan undertakings are to control floods and eliminate pollution on the two river systems, and to build parks and recreational areas along the rehabilitated banks, particularly along the Jordan in heavily Dopulated Salt Lake County and City. It is expected that many of the recreational features of the Provo Jordan undertaking may be administered by Parks and Recreation after completion. The Utah Parks System now comprises 44 properties in six different categories, the Foundation reported. These are State Parks (6), State Historical Monuments (10), State Beaches (8), State Recreation Areas (12), State Reserves (7), and State Natural History Museum (1). The 44 properties cover 95,000 acres which have an estimated value in excess of $5 million, not counting the value of properties which are leased and not in state ownership. Value of develop-ent- s on the properties (some of which have been donated and not acquired by state money) is nearly $10 million. Utahs action in developing a state parks system is not unique or even unusual, the Foundation reported. All 50 states now have state parks systems, and in the aggregate they draw more visitors annually and spend more money than the National Parks System. The National Parks System covers a greater area than the combined state systems, but between 1950 and 1970 the state systems grew at a more rapid rate than the National Parks Sysetm in area as well as in the number of visitors attracted and in expenditures.

To estimate what a specific repair job on your model and year car may cost most shops use parts and labor guides prepared by the auto industry. The guides list for the different services the parts that probably will be required, the price of the parts and the parts number to aid the service technician in ordering the correct items. The guide also lists the average time required for each operation, so the service technician can compute an estimate based on parts cost and amount of labor involved. The labor time listed in the guides is determined by the results of actual field experience in the country, and the stated times are based on a mechanic working on a stock car. If he encounters any unusual difficulties such as corrosion, rusted parts, broken studs, etc., additional times would be required to complete the repair. In the early 1900s, before the advent of industry guides, motorists seldom knew how much repairs would cost until work was completed and man hours were counted. Most shops had difficulty predicting how much time might be required to locate necessary replacement parts now usually available within a few hours. The first labor guides were developed in the 1920s and have evolved from service dealers who simply wanted an accurate means of quoting a standard price for some specific services. This, in effect, meant that car owners could receive estimates on repairs before commiting the cars for service. Service dealers began comparing the performance of their own shops with the competition. To compete effectively, other shops also had to be able to quote estimates for customers, and the system grew.

A total of $6 million was allocated for this years fellowships and their renewals. The awards are designed to increase the number of minority group members pursuing careers as scholars and college teachers. Over the past seven years some 1200 American Indians, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Black Americans studying to a doctorate have received Foundation assistance under this and previously minority fellowship programs. The fellows, chosen from more than 2200 applicants, were required to meet the following criteria: they must be U.S. citi- - engaged planning career a in pursue higher edumust have strong cation, they academic abilities and must be enrolled in or planning to enter a U.S. graduate school offering the doctorate in their field of study. Fellowship awards are made to the applicants, who choose the institutions they wish to attend. The awards are made for one year, but are renewable if the fellow maintains satisfactory progress toward the degree. The fellowships, which average cover full tuition and fees a and monthly stipend of $250 to help meet living costs. A married fellow may apply for an additional stipend of $50 a month for his or her spouse and each dependent child.

Soubce: "Would Book Encyclopedia A thief may quit stealing because he decides that dishonesty does not pay. This does not mean that he is any less a thief at heart: he simply refrains from the practice of thievery because it is less strain to make a living in an honest fashion or because he is afraid of going to jail. The reasons for reformation are many. Reformation is an act of will, and the permanence of the reformation depends upon the strength of the will. Regeneration is a different matter altogether. It comes not from within but from without. A man is regenerated by faith in Christ. He is bom He becomes a new again. creature. The change in his condition does not depend upon his own will, but upon the grace and power of God. Regeneration can take a man into paths of unselfish service where reformation never walk. Regeneration will lift him to heights of living to which reformation can never climb. We find an example of this in the 4th chapter of Ephesians where the Christian is admonished. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good; that he may have to give to him that needeth (Ephesians 4:28) A reformed thief may quit stealing and set about earning an honest living; it takes di- vine grace imparted to a man in regeneration to put a former thief to work so he can give to someone who has need. Reformation may change the outward course of a mans life. his Regeneration changes thought processes and the very attitude of his heart. Reformation may make a thief act like an honest man; regeneration makes him an honest man, and charitable and unselfish as well. Released by the Gospel Fellewship Association |
