Show Intermountain Ski Demonstration Team Names New Members Proper Tire Inflation Promotes Safety and Better Mileage The Tire Industry Safety Council has launched a new nationwide campaign for proper tire inflation featuring a free car sticker which asks service station attendants to Please Check My Tires. Proper tire inflation is more important than ever now, siad Council Chairman Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr. It helps save gas as well as promotes tire safety and better mileage. The colorful little sticker, printed in red, yellow and black, s to be placed on the car bumper, gas tank cover, or any other surface where it will be seen by service station personnel during normal service. Spaces are provided at the bottom of the sticker to write in the proper inflation pressures for front and rear tires. The figures, to be obtained from your tire dealer or car owners manual, should be written in indelible marking pencil. The sticker will serve as a gentle reminder to the attendant, even if you forget to ask, said Mr. Lovell. If your tire dealer does not have stickers, you may obtain one free by sending a stamped, envelope to: Tire Industry Safety Council, Suite 766 National Press Building, Washington, D. C. 20004. studies have Government shown that underinflation by 4 to 12 pounds can cut tire life by 10 to 40 percent. Yet surveys of cars on the road have shown that 30 percent have at least one underinflated tire. Our indicates experience there are two big reasons why so many people neglect proper tire inflation," said Mr. Lovell. Either they dont know what the proper pressure is, or they are reluctant to ask the attendant to check their tires. We hope this sticker program will help in both directions. Underinflated tires squirm on the road and make the engine work harder to overcome roll resistance, Mr. Lovell pointed out. So proper inflation saves self-address- ed gas. THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1974 Poge Two inflation also helps conserve petroleum in another .vay, because crude oil is a raw material for synthetic rubber, Mr. Lovell added. When tires wear out too fast, due to underinflation, that much crude oil is wasted also. You can help yourself, and also help save energy, by joining in our new campaign for proper lire inflation, Mr. Lovell declared. Proper Waterfowl Harvest Totals Released Waterfowl questionnaire returns for 1973 indicate an estimated 487,452 ducks were harvested in Utah, according to F. Clair Jensen, Division of Wildlife Resources biologist. 3 Jensen estimated some duck hunters visited Utahs marshes last fall. In comparison with previous seasons, 1973 can be considered about average, he said. The state's goose hunters took 15,691 Canada geese and 2,106 snow geese. Conditions on the states wetlands were excellent throughout the fall migration period, except for some of the important areas along the east shores of the Great Salt Lake, On these areas Jensen said. salt water infiltrated the marshes as a result of three successive years of high lake levels in the spring and early summer. Vegetation outside the diked areas was reduced. The mild fall resulted in larger numbers of waterfowl available from early October through the first half of December than in November populations 1972. were between 400,000 and 500,-00- 0 more ducks than 1969 through 1972. Large numbers of ducks utilized the extensive open waters of Salt Lake for resting and feeding on brine shrimp. Thus, although numbers of ducks were higher, they were not al ways accessible to hunters; and the harvest did not reflect the 41,-06- . A member of the Intermoun-1- a in Demonstration Ski Team and Assistant Director of the Snowbird Ski School was recently named as a member of the coveted Interski Team. Jerry Warren, Springville, Utah; was term as named to a three-yea- r States United of the a member Demonstration Team, which will demonstrate American Ski Techniques to the skiing world next year in Czechoslovakia. U.S.D.T. competition was held first in the Intermountain division where four (4) members were sent to the nationals. The National U.S.D.T. tryouts were held in Aspen, Colorado. The two days of tryouts included everything from beginning to advanced powder skiing, freestyle skiing, racing, and personal interviews; they pared the fifty hopefuls into a ten member team. Of the ten selected, five hail from the Rocky Mountain area. Gene Christiansen, Alta, was named as a second alternate to the team. Isterski teams from around the world will meet next January in Czechoslovakia, Jerry states the purpose of the meet is to give demonstrations of maneuvers at all levels and of the teaching techniques. After the world meet the U.S. team will then travel throughout the United States giving demonstrations and discussing what happened at Interski; this is done to broaden teaching and technique knowledge. The United States Demonstration Team is chosen every three years, and coach Max Lundberg, Alta, has already put the skiers through extensive training, giving them a chance to get to know and perform with one another. The team will work out this summer in preparation for more extensive training next fall. Other interest members from the Rocky Mountain area are Bill Duddy and Jens Husted, Vail; David Scooter LaCoutre, Aspen; Bruce Bowlin, Winter Park; Weems Westfield, Steamboat Springs; and Paul Jones, Big Sky.

Sullivan, Assistant Commissioner for Natural Resource Management of the Bureau of Reclamation, said toplans must day that long-rang- e be quickly prepared for natural resource use in the West. Speaking at the annual meeting of the Intermountain Consumer Power Association meeting in Roosevelt, Utah, on May 17, Sullivan stated the energy needs of the Nation will require decisions soon on the use of water in the water-sho- rt areas of the West. Enough water to meet all demands is simply not available. In discussing operation of dams within the Colorado River Storage Project, Mr. Sullivan said that power needs were important, but adjustments had to be made in water releases for other interests. At times, extra water is . released to facilitate geese nesting, bass spawning, or for boating on rivers. For example, extra water will be released from Flaming Gorge Dam to help insure safe boating in the Friendship Cruise over the Memorial Day weekend. Occasionally, are said, flows are cut back to minimize flood dangers. Sullivan stated that construction work at Crystal Dam, in western Colorado, is on schedule, and that the powerplant there should be on line by April, 1977. Completion of Crystal Dam, designed to fluctuating releases from Morrow Point Dam, further upstream, will permit development of an additional kilowatts of peaking 88,000 re-regul- ate shortages of electric power, Mr. Sullivan said that the Bureau of Reclamation was planning an evaluation of hydroelectric potentials in the Upper Basin of the Colorado River. Potential at a few remaining undeveloped sites will be examined first. Older projects will be examined to see if additional power can be generated without significant environmental consequences. Sullivan said the Bureau of Reclamation was heavily involved in environmental assess-met- s for private steam generating plants and coal gasification plans in the Four Corners area. Utah Alfalfas Great Potential Unlocked Can they find the keys to unlock the potential of Utahs longqueen of forage standing crops? Alfalfa, grwn on 41 percent of the cultivated land in Utah, annually has been pumping more than 50 million dollars directly into the economy. In- directly, it contributes to another 250 million dollars through related sales of livetock, machinery and upplie. A variety of scientists at Utah State University say this input to the economy shocld be upped considerably. Growers can use present knowledge to increase the states average production from the 1973 3.5 tons per acre to over 5 tons. Meantime, researchers at USU are seeking ways to reach potentials of 8 tons or more of alfalfa per acre. Given the right help, they believe the queen power. Due to present and anticipated can do it.
