Thornton and invite the community to attend an open house in his honor. Maxon has worked faithfully for the residents of Fillmore for 29 years and will retire on April 30th. The City will host an open house on that day from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the Reading Room of the City Building so the residents of the community can come in to congratulate Maxon on the service he has rendered. was Mr. Thorntons birthplace Holden and his family moved to Fillmore when he was seven. His service to the City began in 1935 when he was hired to work in the Street Department, but he has worked in other areas when needed. He commented that he has dug most of the trench for the water system since 1935. Since that time, most of the water lines have been upgraded and new lines established. During his employment he also helped install the new transmission line from the wells below town, where they had to blast every 5 ft. When asked about some of the other major projects Maxon had been involved in, he mentioned working on many curb and gutter projects, the swimming pool, the sprinkling system at the North Park, the irrigation ditches every spring until the pressure system was finished, he did the custodial work at the City Building for 15 years and pushed the snow off the sidewalks and streets every year. No doubt there are many other significant projects that Maxon has been involved in, not to mention the mainevery day things he has done to tain the streets and keep the city clean. During his employment, Maxon has worked under the administration of seven Mayors. In describing the highlight of his career with the City, he said that he has enjoyed helping the people of the community, and enjoyed working with Freeman Rowley and Ross Cummings, particularly, as well as many others over the years. He continued, I enjoy working and believe in doing a days work for a days pay. I have always tried to do the best I could. ivi.t LV J a . vAyi&rT f 1 ? - . Fillmore will have a long sought after new library by the end of the summer, according to Library Committee spokeswoman Tafta Watson. Plans have been formulated to tear down the old fire house building on 1st West next door to the City Building and put up a 50 x 80 metal building in its place which will be later bricked. The building and its cement pad are being paid for from the mill levy set aside for the Library Building Fund. The library committee is requesting volunteer labor, in keeping with President Ronald Reagans new "volunteer-isprogram, to help construct the new building. The new larger library will have a study area, a reading area, and a media center in addition to its former function in the old library, Mrs. Watson said. She indicated that there will also be room for many other types of services in the new building, such as encyclopedias and other research volumes, best sellers, etc. Mrs. Watson said they have several fund raising projects in mind, one of which has been set for this next week. Mr. Twitchell, who has installed a new wrecking yard in Delta, has volunteered his services and will be picking up old autos and trucks, junk farm machinery, and any other salvagable metal items from those who are willing to donate them to the library fund. Those who donate will receive a receipt from Mr. Twitchell for the value of the donated item which can be deducted from their income tax . Another fund raising project scheduled for a later time, Mrs. Watson said, will be a buy a brick campaign. Others will be announced when they are formulated. old Anyone wanting to donate their call should fund the to etc. cars, library Bea Iverson, Tafta Watson, or the City Offices at m Seismograph Exploration The last three years there has been a tremendous increase in the demand for energy related resources.

After Maxon had been with the City for ten years, he married Ruth and commented that his marriage is probably the highlight of his life. Maxon and Ruth plan to spend much of their time visiting their children and spoiling their grandchildren. Maxon also plans to continue his gardening and do some other things he enjoys. The City of Fillmore certainly is a better place because of Maxon. He has worked hard and with integrity to serve this community. Maxon has been willing to respond to a call for help at all hours of the day and night and has been one of the first on the streets to clear off the snow for the morning traffic. As a City, we congratulate you, Maxon and Ruth, for your dedication and honorable service, and wish the very best for you in your retirement. Sud-wee- t cated directly above what geologist called the overthrust belt. The geologist have long suspected huge oil and gas fields are trap.wd in the complicated geology of the overthrust. The geologic structures are similar to those in Wyoming and northern Utah where considerable gas and oil fields have been located. The overthrust belt may run from Alaska through western Canada and through the western United States deep into Mexico. There is a difference of opinions among geologists about just how far south the overthrust belt extends. Some explorationist believe this belt fades out somewhere around Las Vegas, Nevada, while others contend it may extend as far as Guatemala. The most common exploration method conducted by seismic crews the last three years are by the use of explosives either detonated on the ground surface, suspended three feet above the ground 5 feet drilled on survey lath and in holes. Each exploration crew would survey the areas of interest, various ribbons and flagging are used to mark these areas. Cables with small geophones are then laid along the surveyed areas. The explosives are detonated parallel to cables and geophones. The geophone repicks up the subsurface shock waves flection generated by the blast. The shock waves information is recorded in a recording unit. The collected data is later fed into the computer, which gives the company geologic information.

Slim For Life classes to be held in Fillmore Eating less fat is an important behavior change suggested in Utah Heart class Slim for Life Associations which begins in Fillmore April 29, 1982. Although the class does not stress dieting, recognizing and reducing the intake of high fat foods painlessly eliminates calories. Many people think sugar is high in calories, but a teaspoon of sugar is about 17 calories, and the same amount of fat is 45 calories, says Susan Utah Heart dietitian Surand Slim For Life developer. prisingly, jam on your toast would be lower in calories than butter or margarine. Fat is harder to recognize in food than sugar, according to Mrs. Menden-hail-WarWe know when a food tastes sweet, but may not realize how much fat is hidden in fried potatoes, a broiled steak, and tossed greens with salad dressing - about 14 cup or 540 calories. The behavior modification approach used in Slim For Life suggests cutting out one tablespoon of butter or margarine per day for a weight loss of 15 pounds per year. "If you drink two glasses of whole milk a day and change to skim milk, you will lose 19 pounds in a year through that change alone, notes the Utah Heart dietitian Slim For Life participants lose an average of 15 pounds during the 10 week course.
