The League will propose this program when the appears before organization President Fords Summit Conference September Scharf S. Sumner, president of Western Savings and Loan Company and president of the Utah League of Insured Savings Associations, said that the tax-fre- e interest on savings accounts could be a most important phase of the program. The demand for capital is stronger than ever before, said Mr. Sumner, particularly in the housing industry. Traditionally the bulk of financing for housing has come from the savings and loan business, but it is obvious that some incentive must be given for families to use savings accounts rather than to put their savings into floating rate notes and other money market instruments. The United States Leagues proposed program would apply to any financial institutions which offer savings accounts such as savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mutual savings banks, cooperative banks and credit unions. Mr. Sumner said that if the public can get a tax break on their savings accounts, this is going to cause a substantial number of savers to return to traditional methods of saving, such as a passbook account. He added: the good news which would follow this increased saving is that a substantial part of the funds would be channeled into the housing market, which is presently in about 27-2- 8. anti-inflati- on County Recreation Program Doubled Over 1973 Program S.L. Commissioner William E. Dunn released 1974 summer registration and attendance figures resulting in the County Recreation programs recently ended. Over 78,000 persons were registered or in some way a part of the varied recreational offerings of the always-bus- y department. The Leam-to-Swicampaign attracted 10,000 youngsters; 31 tennis centers were operating youth tennis programs and drew 3,751 children, while four centers offering adult instruction pulled 719 adults; some 615 teams made up of over 9,000 boys played in the Jr. Baseball program; the Automotive League for older boys consisted of 16 teams and some 288 players; n enrolled 1,000 Camp youngsters, the traveling Movie Bus showed movies to 6,773 youngsters on a weekly visit to parks; 500 handicapped children signed up for special recreational programs; 250 teams played in the adult Mens Softball League providing competition for 4,250 men; while on the distaff side, 600 women played in the Womens Softball League. Over 34 different types of recreation programs were offered and resulted in a total attendance of 734,871. Commimssioner Dunn said the number of people involved in the County summer programs doubled over the 1973 program. The Commissioner pointed to the fact that this was accomplished despite a departmental budget cut earlier in the year. m Lots-a-Fu- another phase to the savings incentive program. This would be the Treasury authorizing financial institutions of all types to offer a interest account. This would savings make it possible for the saver to defer paying income tax on his interest until maturity of would be no different than the arrangement of Series E bonds issued by the Treasury. The adoption of a tax-fre- e interest savings account would certainly be a break for the little investor, Mr. Sumner said, and the man with a savings account is equally entitled to some sort of tax exemption as the man who puts his money into the stock tax-deferr- ed well-deserv- ed Auto Service Reaches Age Computer most The important step in an automotive service correcting to is problem accurately identify the cause of the problem. Years ago, when cars were relatively simple, the only diagnostic equipment needed by a service technician was a good ear and a d tool box. As cars become more complex, the equipment needed to diagnose the cars ills also became more complex, evolving from simple meters and gauges that indivated what was happening inside the engine to oscilloscopes,, which are electronic machines that display on a TV-lik- e screen various patterns relating to the condition of an ignition system. Their function is similar to oscilloscopes used to monitor the human heart during surgery. When the dynamometer, sometimes referred to as the indoor road, emerged in the late 1950s, service technicians could fully diagnose trouble without taking the car out of the shop. The dynamometer simulates different road and driving conditions by making it possible for the technician to place varying loads on the engine. Instruments attached to the dynamometer and to the car engine indicate to the technician any problems that may exist as well as measuring the power output of the engine. The most recent concepts in diagnostic equipment involves computers. One car manufacturer has developed a system whefeby a computer is plugged into the car and the condition of various components is tested. Another computer device not only can thoroughly check the engine of any domestic car manufactured within the last five years, but also supplies a printout identifying the problem and supplying printed instructions for the solution. These advances in diagnostic equipment enable service technicians to keep pace with todays somphisticated cars and to provide swift and accurate service. well-stocke- com-outeriz- ed if its printing . . . dial 364-846- 4 II, Page Five 1974 Multiple Use On Division Lands Christmas Seal Research Seeking Answers To Blood Clots In Lungs Division of Wildlife Resources owned land are managed under the mutliple use principle.
