Show Page 2 South Salt Lake News December 11, 1969 of the Utah Council on Economic Education; UEA President G. Dean Rose; and UEA Executive Secretary Daryl J. McCarty. GETTING STARTED In challenging Utah educators to promote economic growth, Mr. Johnston suggested these ways of getting started: --Form a task force within the profession to determine which directions the effort should take. --Encourage involvement ip any agency working on economic development. --Throw your organization's weight behind legislation that will foster economic development -- Help create a better attitude about the necessity of commercial and manufacturing growth in UtJh. School people ought not to wait for a formal invitation to join economic development groups, Mr. Cannon said. Muscle in. Make your voice heard. This is the kind of attitude we must have.

Several persons at the session commented that this matter is one of mutual interest to all those present. The necessity for econonkic growth is something we can all agree on, said Mr. Long. Mr. Cannon hammered at the need for educators to make themselves at home in the business of promoting business and industry. Use Utah's educators should pro mote business and manufacturing growth with even more zeal than a chamber of commerce. Thats the contention of Warren W. Johnston, president of a Salt . Lake firm that produces biomedical supplies such as blood analyzers. Analyzing the lifeblood of eduthe supply of cations progress Mr. Johnston didnt need money one of his instruments to determine that its anemic." - - The destiny of professional cation in Utah may well hinge on expansion of Utahs economy, Mr. Johnston said. Simply put, according to Mr. Johnston, this is the problem: Utahs per capita income is near the bottom among the states and per capita tax burden is near the top. THREE ALTERNATIVES The manufacturing executive said the state can consider three alternatives for coping with this mathematical migraine. The state can raise what are rapidly becoming unbearable taxes, or it can cut expenses. If they start cutting, where will that leave education? Mr. Johnston asked. He noted that schools become a prime target for cutbacks, since the educational system in Utah uses more than SO percent of th states budgeted resources. Pointing to a better way, Mr. Johnston said educators can do something about the dollar dilemma by helping to broaden the tax base. Educators, he said, should throw their muscle behind what he called economic development. He defined the term to mean growth of business and industry and hastened to add a definition for industry. NO SMOKESTACKS mean merely heavy doesnt This industry with belching smokestacks d and thousands of or unskilled employes living at or near semi-skille- the poverty line. he said. Mr. Johnston added that educa- tors can and should have some say-s- o in the kind of industries that these plants come to Utah-andt- hat can employ many high technology employes, have no need to pollute the atmosphere with smoke, and become splendid citizens of any community. there be any more reason for the secretary of a chamber of commerce to be present at Why should edu- Warren Johnston ...an ominous footnote His own firm, Inc., is an example of the highly desirable industries that Utahns might well woo. Its a subsidiary of ITE, which sells S280 million worth of pro-- , ducts a year. The Salt Lake company now employs 116 people at its West Jordan and University of Utah locations. Inc. million-a-yea to to $20 hopes grow business employing 1,200 person. This is ihe kind of giowut that broadens the tax base and eases the tax bite, he said. MONEY WOES But he had an ominous footnote to the remark. Based on trends for the past five years, he said, the state economy faces long- - range fiscal disaster. Unless something happens to steer that trend toward a happier outlook, the prospect for his come panys growth to the 1 level is dreary, he said. Mr. Johnston views education as a profession that has everything to in from involvement in economic development.

Jackrabbtt Season Always Open One hunting season that never closes In Utah is the jack-rab- of weapons. Some archery clubs sponsor bow hunts, and archers find this a good way to sharpen their shooting eye. The .22 rifle and shotguns are probably the most popular weapons used, but some hunters prefer to use their big game rifles. Sportsmen hunting jackrabblts should remember to observe the law and respect private property. It Is against the law to carry a loaded firearm In a vehicle or to shoot from any vehicle or public road. Be sure of your backstop, and d not shoot protected birds. Keep Your DYNAMISM cant think of another organization in the state with the kind of I dynamism that you have in the UEA, said D. James Cannon, who joined Mr. Johnston in discussing the need for educator activity in economic development. Also at the session were Dr. M. Lynn Bennion, former superintendent of Salt Lake City Schools; Darld J. Long, executive secretary of the Utah School Boards Association; Dr. T. H. Bell, state superintendent of public instruction; and Allen E. Bauer, executive director A bit season. A license Is not required to hunt jackrabblts and hunters have a wide choice Fishing License When you pur your hunting and fishing gear away this year be sure to keep your fishing or hunting license. The current licenses are valid until April Sprinkling System Causb Health Problem sportsmen who want to participate in a late winter chukar or cottontail hunt find that they have discarded their licenses after the fall seasons. Each year several lshermen search In vain for lost" licenses so thaty they can get In on some of the early spring waters. fishing on year-rouWhere Is your license? ADS G. D. Carlyle Thompson, M. Director of Health, made a plea today tor more attention to be given to the lawn sprinkler cross connection provision of Utah; revised plumbing code. The revised plumbing code took effect cd June 18, 1969. It Is now illegal for anyone to Install a lawn sprinkong system without proper safeguards. These safeguards are prescribed by the revised code. Today there Is so much emplaced on general phasis environmental pollution and Its eventual effects", Dr. Thompson said, that we tend to overlook some of the dally problems that could be effectively solved by the cooperation at Individuals." Pollution control enthusiasts often forget the Invisible danger Inherent In our modern, complicated city water systems. Water which has been collected and purified at great expense can easily be re -- contaminated by the carelessness of one Individual. Improperly Installed lawn sprinkling systems constitute a great threat to water purity, the Health Chief said, even though they are only one of many difof cross -ferent types connections. These systems have grown so popular, that D. , State cross-connecti- on practically every new home built today has one. Many older homes have them Installed each If you multiply the year. potential danger o contamination at each system by the large number of systems, you approach a certainty of trouble. Dr. Thompson stressed particularly the magnitude of danger existing where pressure Ir- rigation systems are In use. He pointed out that the plumbing code prohibits any kind of connection between a culinary water supply and a sprinkling system served at any time by Irrigation water underpressure. It Is only common sense to use the safeguards which techDr. nology has provided", Thompson cautioned. A single case of Illness far outweighs the cost of protection."
