Show FRIDAY, Page Eight Health Dept. Asks Uniform Code For County's 10 Municipalities y The Salt Lake Board of Health this week asked the Salt Lake County Attorneys office to draw up a uniform code of health regulations for the countys 10 municipalities. Powers of the board were clarified at a recent meeting and were told that members of the hoard can draw up regulations hut not ordinances. If a municipality chooses not to adopt a regulation it would not be enforced in that particular town. Dr. Harry Gibbons, health director, explained that health rules currently are scattered throughout city and county ordinances and there is sometime a question as to which is applicable. Also prosecution of the uniform code would probably be by the County Attorneys office. Mr. Gibbons also pointed out that the department is also going to propose that by regulation or ordinance we require certain City-Count- de-partf- ent Salf Lake Families Needed To Host1 public buildings to provide nonsmoking areas, partcularly restaurants. He said that present state law is not enforced. But we have the means to enforce it in many public buildings because we already inspect them. We feel that at no cost it could be added to our inspection. The main hurdle in such a regulation is the public hearing as well as its being adopted by municipalities. Mr. Roland Sleator, director cf administration, said they are making some progress on budgeting problems. A letter is being sent to the City Commission asking for help in such services as employee physicals, service not provided at the time of the health department merger. Mr. Sleater said while the state has a fair formula for distributing general health funds they have no formula for federal funds in family planning, maternal and child health care. European Teachers Salt Lake City area families are needed to entertain English-speakin- g European teachers as guests in their homes for a period next summer, it was announced by the American Host Program. According to J. Stuart Perkins, Board Member of the Host Program, who is President of Volkswagen of America, American Host is one of the few nongovernmental programs designed to show the American to foreign teachers by pairing them with American fami10-d- way-of-li- ay fe lies. Now in its thirteenth year, American Host has opened doors to better understanding for more than 5,500 European teachers who have passed on their new understanding of America to their students, colleagues and friends. Mr. Perkins said that being a Host Family is open to anyone who has the desire to increase understanding and friendship between Americans and Europeans. Host Families are required to provide a private room, meals for their guest, the opportunity to meet their friends, neighbors and perhaps fellow teachers and to see places of interest in the area. American Host arranges all be earmarked for conservation transportation. Host Families are asked to meet their guest programs.

Student Profile Shows U.S. Oil Industry Spent $5.5 Billion On Environment Since '66 Environmental expenditures by the U.S. petroleum industry during the period 1966-7- 3 amounted to $5.5 billion, according to a survey released by the American Petroleum Institute. The survey covered companies which account for some 90 per cent of the nations refinery capacity. The API reported that the fund? expended on air, water, land and other conservation programs rose from $271 million in 1966 to $1.2 billion in 1973 better than a four-fol- d The $1.2 billion expenditure represents an outlay of more than $5 for every man, woman and child in the United States Of the 1973 total, the API said, $737 million was exDcndcd on air conservation, $402 million on water conservation and $100 million on land and other conservation programs. Capital expenditures for conservation during 1973 amounted to $682 million, the API said. This represented some nine per cent of the industrys total domestic capital outlays increase. in 1973. Reflecting the industrys efforts to find new ways to solve pollution control problems, the API reported that environment- al research and development expenditures amounted to almost three times as much in 1973 as they did in 1966. Commenting on the survey, API President Frank N. Ikard said: A high quality environment is a most worthwhile goal and the petroleum industry is striving to attain that goal. It should be noted, however, that clean air and clean water carry high price tags. The financial impact of pollution control has been severe, both for the industry and its customers including the motorist and the homeowner. Ikard continued. Outlays for pollution control are expected to increase even more sharply in the years to come. Just to achieve the environmental standards already mandated by law, an oven larger chunk of capital expenditures by oil companies will have if) State Liquor Stores To Be Updated By Electronic Registers Utah Tech Makeup student profile at Utah Technical College at Salt Lake reveals the students are older, and more of them are married than last year The average age is 22.7 years, while 49 per cent are reported as married, and 45 per cent listed as single.
