Double Retirement Opposed WASHINGTON Federal and municipal retirement plans which permit dual compensations, or "double-dipping," can lead to fiscal insolvency, according to Rep. Gunn McKay, Utah. Rep. McKay criticized the trend toward earlier retirements, particularly on federal and municipal payrolls, which permit employees to retire at middle age from one career and move directly into another, both of which supply pensions for the employee frequently at the taxpayers' expense.

"I think every employee is entitled to a fair, just pension," Rep. McKay said, "but not two pensions."

Utah Board Advised Vocational Training Way Behind Demand SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Despite steady. increases in vocational training in recent years, Utah still has a long way to ago, says an advisor to the State Board for Vocational Education. Jack Higby, executive director of the advisory committee on vocational education, told the board Thursday that students enrolled in programs preparing them for careers as skilled workers have increased from 16 to 18 per cent of all post -secondary pupils. "However, we have a long way to go," he said.

"We are not meeting manpower needs of Utah employers." He said a survey conducted by his committee showed that although 39,000 persons are unemployed in Utah, there are thousands of openings for people with the right skills. Openings include plumbing, nursing, truck driving, carpentry, upholstering and machinerelated jobs, Higby said. The board also heard from Hao Hoang, a 35-year-old Vietnamese refugee who teaches at Utah Technical College in Provo. He supported the "pre-tech" program at the college, saying its English as a second language courses provide Vietnamese with a way to overcome their biggest problem the language barrier. He said 80 students are enrolled in the classes, most of them refugees from Southeast Asia.

School President Wilson Sorensen urged the state board to absorb the "pre-tech" program into UTech's regular curriculum instead of separating it from the trade courses.

BYU, and without the aid of modern tools, Students Learn Primitive Technology the Hard Way We think of early man as being primitive, but several Brigham Young University archaeology students have found out the hard way that he had much more "know how" than we give him credit for. The students suffered cuts and bruises and discouragement in their attempts to make arrowheads, pottery, sandals and other common articles used by ancient man. Materials had to be procured from nature by the students and no modern tools could be used.

It was all part of a primitive and ancient technology class which the BYU Department of Anthropoloty and Archaeology sponsors each fall. "We shed blood several times when students cut themselves while struggling to make arrowheads and knives; and there were some miserable times out in the field collecting materials. But all in all, the experience helped us understand what primitive man went through to survive," instructor Asa S. Nielson said. Modern man tends to think of primitive man as awkward and backwards, but the students found out very painstakingly that primitive man had one up on them when it comes to crafts.

What we have in our machines, he had in his hands, Mr. Nielson observed. "Primitive man survived in a wilderness where we, even with our modern equipment, could easily perish," he added. The object of the class was not to succeed in making a mint product but to gain an appreciation for the skills and knowledge ancient man had to have just to make seemingly simple things. Mr.

Nielson said many elaborate studies have been conducted over the years to determine exactly how early man accomplished what he did, but even with all this research, there are still processes which modern man cannot duplicate without the aid of sophisticated Writing Contest Opens On Topics of Handicaps Deeper insight into the world of the handicapped awaits every participant in the 1976 Counts" Research Writing Contest, sponsored by the Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped.

The students collected obsidian from Central Utah to make arrowheads and knives; reeds and rabbit brush from the Utah Lake area to make sandals and baskets, and clay from Hobble Creek Canyon to make pottery and figurines. They even had to collect bones and other materials to make their own tools, Mr. Nielson reported. One student made a little basket from pine needles. Another made a small mat from poodle hair which was spun out on a hand-made spindle whorl.

Others made beads, arrows, fire drills, mats and a variety of other objects with varying degrees of success, the instructor noted. One even tried to tan a hide but couldn't quite master the primitive process, the instructor reported. Whether successful or not, all the students learned that primitive man wasn't SO primitive after all, Mr. Nielson said. was installed carelessly and negligently, so that it passed through the uterus into the abdominal cavity and eventually was removed surgically by another surgeon.

V. Zay Smith and Vivian Smith are suing Gerald Pearson and Carol Lynn Pearson for $20,000 in a suit filed this week. They charge they were falsely and fraudulently induced by the defendants to invest $10,000 in Trilogy Arts, Inc. through representations that Mario Jamie Aranda was a member of the board of Triology Arts, and that the corporation would provide a substantial profit in its operations to Mr. Aranda.
