Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1974 Page Five Wildlife Division Releases '73 Eighth Annual Mormon Pageant YOU AND 11 To Open July At Manti Temple Deer Highway Morality Figures YOUR CAR Division of Wildlife Resources A More than 120,000 persons are Ephraim, Utah, and is directed five expected to see the 1974 edition of central Utahs traditional Mor-mo- n Miracle Pageant, which is scheduled for July 11 through 20, except Sunday and Monday. The colorful outdoor production is in its eighth year and this years performances should draw visitors from throughout the western United States and beyond. Curtain time is 9 p.m. nightly, according to officials of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, which sponsors the production with the cooperation of its members in the Manti area. There is no charge for parking or admission. An unpaid, volunteer cast of more than 300 is busy rehearsing for the show, which presents historical highlights of the Church. It depicts events from the life of the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, first president of the Church; the 19th century westward trek of the Mormon pioneers from Illinois to Utah under the leadership of the great colonizer and church leader, Brigham Young; and it features flash-bac- k vignettes from the Book of Mormon, a of the pages record of the scriptural-histori- c inhabitants of ancient America. Manti, the central Utah hamlet which has served as home of the pageant since its inception, received its name from the Book of Mormon. The Church many years ago built an impressive white temple on a hill in Manti and it is on the south slope of this hill, directly at the base of the great temple, that the pageant, is staged. The Mormon Miracle Pageant was written by Grace Johnson, by Macksene Rux, Salt Lake City. The spectacular outdoor lighting, staging and sound systems are provided by technicians from Brigham Young University in nearby Provo. The audio portion of the pageant music, sound effects and dialogue is recorded on tape and is conveyed over the audience seated in a vast field via powerful stereophonic speakers, strategically placed to provide maximum fidelity. With the dialogue on tape, the actors pantomime their roles. The weekly family-unit-y program of the Church, known formally as Family Home Evening, is worldwide, and the Church does not schedule conflicting activities on Mondays. It also encourages its members to avoid, where possible, other activities and influences which would prevent the family from meeting as a unit. Family home evenings take on a variety of formats, according to the individual tastes and needs of different families, but the Church does publish annually a manual of suggestions for home evening activities. The goal of the home evening program is to foster greater family unity, spirituality and enjoyment for the members of the Church.

Manti is situated 110 miles south of Salt Lake City on U.S. Highway 89.

The wells involved are Brady Unit wells No. 10W and 11W according to B. Z. Kastler Mountain Fuel Supply Company president. Source and extent of the water have yet to be determined as work is continuin on the wells. Mr. Kastler indicated that the data developed on wells 10 W and 11W might indicate that there conis not a common tact line in the Weber formation. Production from the Weber formation at Brady is still expected to be substantial. The Brady Unit is located in southwestern Wyoming approximately 28 miles southeast of Rock Springs. The Unit com0 prises 39,012 acres of which block acres are in a pooled surrounding the wells.

Aerial safety patrols, for example, recently were initiated by a Western motor carrier. Its safety supervisors ride with pilots and regularly observe the companys trucks on the highway. In addition to noting a drivers rate of speed and adherence to safe driving techniques to improve the companys safety procedures, the airborne observers also spot motorists in distress and can summon aid via radio. These aerial patrols are in addition to special highway patrols that the company maintains, utilizing 26 marked cars operating network. in a Hijacking and theft have always been problems in the transportation industry, and trucking has been a favorite target. Truck hijackings seem to reflect the times. Favorite targets have been liquor during prohibition, cigarettes . when taxes were increased, meat when it was in short supply, and, most recently, gasoline. Here, too, the industry has taken to the air in order to combat the hijacking menace. In New York City, rooftops of trucks are being marked so they can be identified more easily from the air. An experimental helicopter surveillance program has served to deter truck hijackings, and its results will help create similar surveillance programs in other large metropolitan areas. Technology is helping in other security areas, also. Thefts inside warehouses have been cut significantly by the use of closed-circu- it TV systems that allow dock foremen to view activity throughout the warehouse. Computers increasingly are used in trucking operations. They perform functions ranging from tracing shipments to planning routes. Terminal managers can plan more efficient scheduling of loading crew shifts because the computer can provide them with printed reports advising what trailers are moving toward the terminal, and the time and order in which they should arrive. The computer also makes possible fast communication of information between terminals withut the use of telephones. 40-sta- te done.

The number of deer killed by vehicles are recorded on a July 1 through June 30 basis by Division conservation officers and highway department maintenance crews. A lower mortality rate for the current period is predicted due to the speed limit reduction to 55 miles per hour and the gasoline shortage, said game biologist Rudy Drobnick. He noted the most complete counts have been: 1970-7- 1 and The 1973-7- 4 figure will be available after July 1. Some major problem areas showed increases in deer highway deaths, while others showed decreases in the three year period. This, said Drobnick, is due to weather conditions and a general increase in which generally cannot stop or swerve to avoid hitting deer. A 14 mile segment of U.S. Highway 89 from Marysvale to Junction shows the highest deer mortality rate, with an average of 10 deer killed per mile. Other in major problem areas are Echo Canyon, U.S. 40 in Parleys Canyon, U.S. 50-- 6 in Spanish in Salina CanFork Canyon, from Nephi to yon, U.S. 911-1- 5 Paragonah and between Cedar City and St. George, Utah 28 from Levan to Gunnison and U.S. 89 from Marysville to Panguitch, reported Drobnick. Deer highway mortality records provide the basis for recommendations on types of fences and lcations of deer underpasses for wintering and migratory areas on new highways. Utahs first single purpose deer underpass is being completed on a at three mile segment of Deer behavior Santaquin Ridge. and utilization of this underpass will be studied to determine recommendations for other areas. 1,-68- 1971-721,58- 1972-731,77- 4; semi-traile- rs 1-- 80 1-- 70 1-- 15 You on cant improve HALF- GALLON.

Deer in the area are fitted with radios and colored collars to aid Beale monitor their movements. Additionally, return post cards are being utilized to record deer locations on summer and winter ranges. Provisions for deer movement at Beaver Ridge include a single purpose deer underpass, a muluntiple purpose one and derpass experimental deer overpass. There is a small box cattle underpass in the area also. The study will indicate whether deer move more readily over or under the highway. Upon completion of the systems, the Division will use counting devices to monitor more than two dozen under-passe- s. Also, some additional trapping and marking of deer may be done in conjunction with other migratory areas to determine the full impact highways have on deer winter range. 1-- 15 (deer-vehicl- e) 5, 1-- 70 Drobnicks report shows elk highway mortalities from the Manti and Nebo herd units, moose kills in Daggett county and antelope mishaps in the Uintah Basin.
