Show Page Two 'Save Fuel and Money With Recycled Tires Says Institute Save Fuel and Money Through Recycling TiresN is the title and message of a new free booklet for auto owners published by the Tire Retreading Institute, Washington, D.C. Each worn but undamaged auto tire that is recycled via retreading consumes four and a half less gallons of crude oil and 15 lbs. less rubber than the manufacture of a comparable new tire, the booklet states. Thus, for example, a set of four retreads produced for each of 100 cars conserves significant amounts of petroleum products 360 gallons of crude oil and 6,000 pounds of rubber. The booklet says that car owners who trade in their worn tires for recycling before they become bald, worthless and unsafe for highway travel, will be helping to ease the nations fuel crisis and to safeguard life on the Statistics show that 90 percent of tire trouble occurs in the last 10 per cent of tread wear, yet nearly one third of all cars on the highways today have at least one dangerously worn tire. More than 100 million tire casings are discarded annually (if strung out they would encircle the earth twice at the equator) littering the country side and compounding the nations waste and disposal problems. The booklet advocates that car owners trade in their worn but undamaged tires when at least of an inch of tread rubber remains. Among other things this enable car owners to recoup some of their original investment in their tires. Car owners can easily tell if their worn tires need to be replaced. New vintage tires have smooth gaps i built in warning across tread intervals at ippear ubber when the tread depth is of an inch. vorn down to On older tires, having no such varning, insert a penny upside town into the tread at several places.

The booklet explains that: About 70 per cent of a new tires cost goes into the casing, yet car owners waste millions by running their tires too thin for recycling. AMERICA ENTERS 200TH YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE Although most people think ited Nations could take in favor of world peace. "It is very important because all the world is aware that there can be no political stability without economic stability and one of the best steps toward achieving economic stability is of American independence as having been declared in 1776, since July 4 th of that year is the date marked on our Declaration of Independence, the surprising facts are that: 1. The Revolutionary War broke out at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. 2. Congress, on December 6, 175, formally disavowed al- legiance to Parliament, which in effect declared American independence. 3. This year, therefore, marks the beginning of our 200th year of independence. It may also mark the very first year of worldwide freedom under the "Economic Declaration of Human Rights. That document, more formally known as the "Charter of Duties and Economic Rights of Nations, has been proposed by Mexicos President Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in 177 6, but Congress formally disavowed allegiance to Luis Echeverria. A committee of representatives from 40 nations is now preparing the final text of the Parliament the year before. charter. According to Kurt Waldheim, Secretary General of the United Nations, the document has a good chance of being approved by the General Assembly next autumn.

Their persistence in overcoming their handicap should serve as an encouraging example to all citizens, disabled or not. Carol Jean iBttner, for example, was born with cerebral palsy. She was born about three months premature, weighed 2 lbs. 4 oz. Since then Carol has undergone several operations on one of her legs and her eyes to strengthen muscles. An operation on her right hand was also necessary to increase the mobility of the fingers. Taking advantage of training opportunities and with a lot of individual study, Carol has completed both the B.S. and M.S. degrees from BYU. She works as a speech therapist with the Alpine School District, helping E, the trainable mentally retardes to become independent and self sufficient like herself.

The allocations were announced after weeks of budget hearings in which each participating agency appeared before a voluntary citizen panel to report on 1973 activities, present the 1974 budget requests and explain the proposed usage of these 1974 monies requested. A complete unit by an independent CPA firm and financial statements were also required. After each agency assigned to the panel had been heard from, the volunteers faced the difficult process of recommending an allocation for each agency, based on the panels assessment of the value of that agencys programs and the agencys need for funds. Agencies that were increased this year were felt to have high priority programs and no other reosurces to fund the programs. Agencies that were not increased or even decreased were felt to have lower priority programs or had other real or potential sources of funding. The recommendations of the seven panels were then sent to the Agency Relations Committee also composed entirely of volunteers from the United Way area, for some necessary to fit the funds adjustments available. I can honestly that the panels were extremely conscientious in their work and made every effort to represent their fellow citizens in a responsible manner, commented Richard Lueck, nty United Way Vice president of Operating Agency Relations. without the fan fare of a campaign, and aware of pressures of community needs that require more financing than is available, these people represent the finest in a great volunteer tradition in the Salt Lake area. Pledges and donations in the recent campaign totalled $1,853,-27Money not allocated to the agencies must be set aside for United Way 1974 administration and fund raising costs (about 8.6 per cent of the amount raised eachiyear), and for emergency and unpaid pledge reserves. 5.
