Is this true? K.J., Salt Lake Citj. You are a wee bit confused. A law sigued in October by Pres. Johnson, set up oontrols over manufacture and repair of electronic products which emit radiation. The law resulted from surveys showing that a number of color sets of various makes were leaking radiation. Hopefully, all manufacturers have corrected such models and have instituted shielding and checks which prevent such leaking. Evidence is there art few, if any, sets now being used by anyone where this has not been done. As further reassurance, radiation danger is almost negligible in any set if you are 10 feet or more away from it. Even if closer, most radiation is emitted from the sides. Danger is so remote as to be really As for dental radiation rate is much higher, but is confined to a small tissue area; exposure is carefully regulated and of such infrequent occurrence that danger is also nonexistent. . for all possible GOAL: To work TV Radiation GOAL: To work for economy and honesty at all levels of government By JOSEPH LUNDSTROM Deseret News Staff Writer What is wrong with our local government government at the town, city and Operating From New Place I subscribed to and paid ter two magazines through a firm in Huntsville, Ala.

You might call the Utah Industrial Promotion Boai d, the official agency for hanpromotion. Or dling state-widyou might call the Utah Committee on Irdustrial and Employment Planning, which has long been active in this field. Or you might call Or Utah Manufacturers Assn. On the other hand, your call might go to a local Chamber of Commerce, or to one of the numerous regional promotion agencies, such as the Millaid e Pro-Uta- County Resources Development Commission or the Utah Industrial DevelopValley ment Association. might be in contact with a utility, a university, ou or a railroad, since each of has people signed to help or even a bank, these industries asspecifically jou. The question is, would you pick the right one for your needs? If not, would it pass jour inquiry along to someone else who could help you? Or would its competitive desire be so great that it would insist on keeping you all to itself? For the different agencies compete. They compete for recognition, for prospects, and for money, whether it comes from donations or from taxes. do Sometimes they compete politically. One of the Deseret News' goals this year is to work fur better coordination of these agencies. That means better use of their resources and a of communication greater their efforts. The Deseret News will also try to reflect the changing at I titude of Individual Utahns, whose response to Goals for Utah shows a great desire for more industrial develop-'- , f mrnt. In contacts tluoughout the state, we have learned that industrial development is not a quick, nor an easy achieve-- , ment. It requires considerable coordination between people, and seldom is it possible for any one person to claim credit for locating a new industry in the state. ' But we have also learned- ' that individual Utahns can, help. Barco of California, for example, is located in Kanab largely because a Salt Lake businessman saw a chance to sell someone on Utah. - There is no question of the. need to expand Utah's nidus-- ' trial base, bringing in more jobs, mere people, and inoie, taxes. The problem is to do; it efficiently. ' |
