Show Millard County Chronicle Thursday, March 13, 1969 Happenings in the State Senate . . . The last day o the legislature is Thursday which Is the 60th day. We have been working a full six days. Some bills are good and some are bad depending on your point of view. If they get to the governor's desk you know that u majority of the members of each house have voted "aye". Many bills are killed and most of those passed are amended. The workings of a Democratic Government. Govern-ment. We get many letters and phone calls to help out our thinking think-ing but never is everyone satisfied. The retirement bills for police officers and the highway patrol were passed. I voted against this bill because I felt that the local governments and the state should take care of its own employees. The highway patrol has its own retirement system. A bill to make the Firemens pension fund which needs nine million dollars to make it actually sound, went down to defeat. It would have levied a small graduated gradu-ated tax on all real property in the state for several years plus Increased In-creased employee contributions to bail the fund out. I voted against this because I did not feel rural counties should pay a tax to support sup-port such a fund when we do not have firemen on full time duty. However, voluntary firemen hurt on the job are under the fund while on actual duty. The Green Belt Bill passed both houses and will be signed into law. I wrote on this before. It says land which is used for agriculture will be assessed on its value as farm land andm ust have been used as such for 5 years. I voted for this. The master highway bill with collector roads and a one-cent raise per gal. on gasoline passed the Senate; My amendment for 5 per cent for maintenance was part of the bill. It is a long story but 5 percent for maintenance will help a lot and here is a tax people who use the roads will pay, tourists, trucks, et al. You really have to look ahead on roads. What if people with foresight had not envisioned en-visioned the freeways we have today? to-day? I voted for the bills as passed. pass-ed. A House Bill HB53 was passed by the Senate which will let county Commissioners set all county salaries sal-aries including their own after a public hearing. I believe local areas should have powers. Tuitions at Institutions of Higher Learning was passed: Snow College Col-lege $150 to $240; College of Southern Utah, $200 to $270; U of U, $300 to $390. I have three kids in college-two of them objected to the raise. I told them they should pay at least 23 of the bill and help the tax payment that much. Out of state tuition was likewise raised. V'.. . Ph LETTERS . . . TO THE EDITOR G. Stanford Roes Firms with state income tax withholding amounting to $100 per month or more will have to send ; the money in monthly. This will j bring in about 5 million dollars-1 just about the deficit facing the state. . ' SB169, a reorganization bill af-, fecting among other the Fish and Game, passed the senate. The board still has policy making power as before. The coordinating Council was abolished. The Board will appoint the director with approval ap-proval of the executive director. An employee ethics bill passed. I voted "no" because I think we already have enough laws on this. The Blue Cross-Blue Shield bill along with a bill affecting other insurance organizations like Teachers Teach-ers Insurance, was passed. I voted "no." I think this covers most of it. We are still in a hassel over the School Bill. Respectfully, G. Stanford Rees 2 Former D.H.S. Students Now Wrestling at C.S.U. Two former Delta High School wrestlers are pulling in the wins on the CSU wrestling team. The team's spark plug, Bruce Peterson (115), and Neil Callister (145), the best wrestlers on the team, have compiled great records so far this season. Bruce has a five win, six loss record and Neil has an 8-4 record. Injuries hurt both boys early in the season. Bruce had sore ribs that Millard County Chronicle: Letters to the Editor Dept. Dear Inez and Bob: I thot perhaps that both you folks, and Mayor Morrison, would be interested in the "other side" 'of the "Brilliant piece of Detective Work" carried out by the Delta Police several weeks ago. "Brilliant', it might have been, but when the desires of a few ambitious Incompetents to make an arrost supersedes a person's Individual In-dividual and Constitutional Rights, tnen it becomes less than brilliant; even a little frightening. There are a few individuals in your community who would do well to come out from behind "The Delta Curtain". If they did so, they would find a big world extending beyond the boundaries of Millard County. A world where people are still innocent until proven guilty. Law Enforcement Officers, are for the most part, dedicated men, and I have nothing but admiration for them, but a few bad apples at the bottom of the barrel make the kind of arrest I have mentioned here all to frequent. I agree with you most wholeheartedly whole-heartedly when you said your town needs cleaning up. It certainly does, in more ways than just ousing marijuana. But I hope and pray that the methods used in the clean-up will be within the framework of a person's Constitutional Con-stitutional and Individual Rights. s Mrs. Curt Johnson Lynndyl, Utah D, .US. MoDel. 1eeni ajj the WeeJz . . . 1Sk'H 1 Mil -i I kept him from finishing the season and Neil had a knee injured. Coach Ken Hennefer stated that you have to kill both boys to get them to stop. Bruce is very game and brings a lot of spirit to the team. Neil got a late start but has improved steadily throughout the season. Neil qualified for the NAIA National meet February 22 to be held in Omaha, Nebraska March 6, 7, and 8. Stevens Henager Representative To Visit D.H.S.

The harmful effects of drugs were brought ou. by police officers who also spoke on the legal penalties and the methods of identifying pills and marijuana. Slides of marijuana, pills, needles used toinject drugs, and dope addicts were shown and a tape of two addicts in jail for crimes they committed to obtain drugs was also played. Then a panel of drug addicts who had been committed to the state mental men-tal hospital told the students of their lives and addiction, and their hopes for the future. They discussed discuss-ed the frightening life of a drug addict and stated that it would be a terrible mistake for anyone to start using drugs.

Principal Fowles In the ar;e when men and machinery vie for jobs, education is a prerequisite for success. Our greatest finph-'sis should be on training individuals to succeed, regardless re-gardless of what type of post-high school institutions they attend. A continued effort needs to be mnde to give dignity to all types of work. Ail work is honorable as long as it is honest, and we need to get students, parents and other citizens 'o realize this fact. Those engaged in the technical schools and those institutions where the academic is emphasized need to cooperate on this problem in an attempt to net the student in that training program which will best meet his needs. Every youngster has the right to realize iiis full potential. We, as educators and parents, must see that he achieves that right. shortly after, with best wishes from all for success in the State Tournament. Tourna-ment.
