Hayakawa Letter To The Editor The current push to bring natural gas to Beaver residents has resulted in some strange distortions of the alleged savings over current fuel sources. When comapring the cost of wood, 2 heating oil, propane, and other grades of fuel oil to gas, company representatives gave us nothing in writing despite repeated attempts to see such comparisons. After several pushy telephone calls urging us to sign up, I asked for a printed list showing exactly how much service would cost per month, how many meters we'd have to buy, and oilier questions, but the answers depended on which representative was involved. After calling the Salt Lake office of the gas company to complain about the lack of prepared, printed information, a representative did personally visit and he gave us some estimates, but again, not in writing. Anyone facing this decision should consider not just the value and convenience of having an alternative fuel source, but also the more practical matter of tallying up the cost of conversion of appliances such as furnaces, water heaters, dryers, and so on. After we got more specific costs from various contractors we learned that our changeover cost would likely run between $2000 and $4000 to enjoy the ultimate savings of natural gas fuel, in our case. Facing that factor, it is extremely unlikely that the alleged savings would ever pay back the cost in my lifetime. I believe that having natural gas available in this community is a definite advantage to certain business applications, and perhaps to attract new industry to Beaver. However, natural gas is not a Christmas present. After checking in Richfield and other with towns, I discovered that opinions of the actual savings involved were mixed, at best. I don't think anyone should order a lot of conversion work done until they check out the figures more carefully. Get it in writing. gas-use- V. "Manderfield way".

Wagner Remember when, as a child, your mother had to persuade you to take the bitter pill prescribed by the doctor to cure yourillness? We were often told that if it didn't taste bad it wouldn't work as well! We sometimes seem to feel that life is full of "bitter pills". It appears that in order to get a desired result we must accept or do things we prefer not to accept or do. It may very well be that the lesson of the bitter pill being a cure helps us to accept life's difficulties more readily. You and I have come to realize that not everything nor everyone in our growth process is going to be easy to take. Strong character develops through the adjustments and adaptations we are willing to make in our pilgrimage. It would seem pleasant if we had everything we need simply provided for us.

A prize of any kind comes as we compete and prove our ability to overcome obstacles. One of life's pleasures is that of working with a problem and through consistent effort arrive at the solution. Athletes, business tycoons and key industrialists did not just use their native talents. Each had to stretch the boundaries of the known into the unknown in order to excel and win the prize.
