"When they're not pulling, they're in box stalls all of how the horses enjoy pulling. It gets in their blood. When they feel that stone fall into place, theyre instantly off.

The horses have on blinders and are trained to pull as hard as they can The brothers went on to explain Because of the blinders, they have the time." no way of knowing whether or not they are starting without the stone weight. For that reason, team pulling can be an extremely dangerous sport. The brothers told of one instance when a runaway team went right through a brick wall. It's also a very expensive sport.

Will they still be usable as a work team after theyve had the taste of real competition? "Weve no idea," the brothers answered.

Price, Utah has gone through several boombust cycles. Delta, a small agricultural community facing IPP construction, is already planning for its metamorphosis. The question is not whether Utah will grow, but rather how the growth will be managed. Recklessly or wisely? the choice is ours. Utahs school population is growing by ietps and bounds because the state has one of the highest birthrates in the nation. Incoming kindergarten children outnumber graduating high school seniors, almost two to one. How will the state cope, especially with the financial restrictions imposed by the Utah State Legislature? Will the quality of education decrease? Will programs for the gifted child, the learning disabled and the bilingual child disappear? What are we actually educating our children for? The third program addresses these dilemmas. The fourth show takes a look at several questions which, as yet, have no answers. Are there limits to growth? Who gets the use of water and air in Utah? Is it first come, first served? Can the state develop these resources and, at the same time, protect and preserve its pristine areas? If MX comes to Utah, will it eliminate or hinder other development as MX competes for labor and building resources? Spokespeople for UTAH: OUTLOOK FOR THE 80'S include Governor Scott M. Matheson; Dr. Walter Talbot, Utah Superintendent of Public Instruction; Thayne Robson, Director of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, University of Utah; Dick Carter, Utah Wilderness Association; Rick Moody, Millard County Mental Health Team Leader; and Jack Lyman, Deputy Directory of Energy and Minerals, Department of Natural Resources. of the series are Marilyn Toone and John Hesse.
