Some of the participating PLAIN CITY ELEMENTARY Francis W. Woods, retired U.S. Forest Service officer of North Ogden, contributes an open letter to NorthOgden to sell land to new stake The North Ogden City Council has of land adjoining both the building side for the new Ben Lomond Stake Center and a future city park, to the LDS church. The church will buy the land for the appraised value of $15,000. They will then develop it as a parking lot, with the agreement that the citizens of the community may use the parking area when they visit the park, as well as when they attend church meetings. The church will be responsible to maintain the parking area, also. The park will still have four acres, and the city would have had to build a parking lot, anyway. Councilman Don Colvin abstained from voting, as he is a member of the new stakes presidency, but he pledged on behalf of the stake that it would be carried out in good faith. The new church will be built at about 900 E. on 2900 N. Street. The City Council approved plans for a small subdivision to be built in the area of 3100 N. and 450 E. agreed to sell one acre Gordon E. Harmston, executive director department of Natural Resources, on ways to have adequate Great Salt Lake Resource Management Study of 1977 and for a copy of the Bear River Compact. In my opinion your assignment is the most important one in Utah State Government because what happens to our natural resources is of prime importance to future generations. Mistakes we make now could be disastrous to future generations. I have studied the material you sent and have a number of comments and suggestions. It will be appreciated if you will have this material become a part of the public input when the management study is presented to the legislature. Here is a summary of my recommendations on how to control the Great Salt Lake level. The suggestions are listed in the order of priority; 1. Have the Legislature make a declarative statement establishing a policy on reimbursing private entities in the event their structures need to be removed, repaired or altered when such structures interfere with the normal operation or flow of any navigable waters in the State. 2. Call a meeting of Federal, State, County, Cattle and Sheep Stockmen, other private lands. I suggest the Membership head speaks fo chapter BY CAROL SHAW BEACON WRITER Mrs. Stella Oaks, the honorary State PTA Membership Chairman, spoke to IT A leaders from throughout Utah at the stale Membership Critical Issues Conference held last week. Mrs. Oaks said she would like to take my PTA membership to Heavcn.r When shewasassea oy uie ITA President, Darlene Hutchinsen, if she really thought there would be a ITA in the hearafter, Mrs. Oaks quipped, "It depends on where you go." She spoke of the influence TV has on people, especially children, and the need to continue with the PTAs monitoring of TV for sex, as well as violence. She said "TV' cannot have it both ways. They cannot say that they can sell anything on earth, but they do not sell ideas." Joan Burnside, past president of the Utah State PTA and a National Vice president, was the keynote speaker at the conference. She said. "The most important thing in living is to reach out and touch." She said the world is becomming increasingly violent because people feel alienated from each other. She said they attempt to relieve their pain by inflicting it on others. She said people have a great need to explore and interact in a positive way. She said it is essential if a good society is to return, that no one feels alienated. She cited a need to get more people of all kinds and situations involved in PTA activities. She called for more recognition for Volunteer people who give service'. time is just as valuable as paid time," said Mrs. Burnside. Guidelines for fund raising, scholarships and membership drives were given by other speakers, under the direction of Myrlene Stevens, State PTA Membership Commissioner. Following a luncheon.

Divert additional unallocated water from the Bear River immediately below Cutler Dam. Transport this water by canal to Willard Bay or further south along the Wasatch Front and store it in a new reservoir. This water could be used for agriculture, industry and culinary purposes. 4. Breach the Southern Pacific Railroad Causeway in two places at railroad expense, or possibly Federal expense. 5. Insure the integrity of prime watershed lands above 6,500 feet. 6. Protect entrances to un derground aquifers against ex- ploitation, damages, either accidental or intentional, or from being blocked by debris, particularly such entrances above 5,000 feet. 7. Determine the economic value of all abused lands, particularly on critical watershed lands in the Great Salt Lake Basin after they have been reseeded and are again producing water and feed to their full potential. Make certain that such lands do not continue to suffer loss of top soil. 8. Reintroduce beaver in the basin. They have been in the past and could be in the future an important land and water conservation help. If the above proposals are implemented we will have adequate lake level control.

Non-fictio- Bell announces new phone dialing for area Zero-Plu- s Beginning Sep. 10, Ogden and Weber County telephone customers will have a new way to place operator-assiste- d Long Distance calls. Its called Zero-Plu- s Dialing and the system will speed up operator-handle- d Long Distance catling by 50 percent. According to Mountain Bell Services District Manager-Custome- r Joe Neary, Zero-Plualso offers increased billing accuracy and is easy to use. "You activate the system by dialing O - them immediately continuing with the Long Distance number. If your call is out of state, dial "O plus the area code and telephone number. While your call is being connected, an operator will come on the line to determine the type of call (collect, credit card, etc.) and the billing number," Neary said. Hotels and motels will also benefit from the new service. Those connected to Mountain Bell by teletype will receive guest call Information within sixty seconds after the call Is completed. All other hotel and motel customers will recieve this information by phone within 10 minutes Coin telephones in Ogden and Weber County have instruction cards explaining how to use the Zero-PluDialing system. Neary explained that customers will be instructed to dial "1" plus the number on station or directory assistance calls, and O" plus on other types of calls.

The initial hope is that all Plain City school schildren participate by contributing the labels from the soup cans that are used at home. Lets hope that students will be patient and wait until the cans are used.. .Imagine the dilemma of poor mom or dad who opens the cupboard for a can of soup simply to be greeted by a stack of unlabeled cans. A sigh of dispair would fill the air and a weeks worth of playing Guess What?? with the soup cans would ensue. There will be two large cans, painted to look like campbells soup containers, placed at the school, into which students will deposit their labels from home, or grandmas house, or aunts and uncles homes. Wherever help can be obtained in collecting the labels, (except peeling them off shelves in the store, of course.) After several thousand of these labels are obtained they will be bundled and returned to the Campbells Soup Company. The labels then act like a coupon in exchange for which the school can obtain play ground equipment, learThus the ning media, balls, etc. schools ability to more effectively enrich the learning experience of each student is broadened. Last year the school began a newspaper and aluminum can drive. On a specific day each week studentc were allowed to bring newspapers and aluminum cans to school in exchange fnr play school money. Another day was set aside as bartering day to which students could bring items from home to barter off between each other or to sell in exchange for the schools play money. On bartering day one could see young students from first to sixth grade turning their desks into stores with hand printed advertisements taped in the best spot and that students wares labeled and neatly placed for barter or sale. from homemade Everything cookies and candy to used and repaired toys were on display. The school was transformed into a metropolitan hubbard of commercial exchange. From this, many students were allowed a first hand experience, on an understandable level, in economics - displaying competative prices, and altering prices according to supply and demand was common place. The value of good advertising took on a new horizon. Salesmanship and bartering became second nature and purchasing where a student could get the most for his money was simply a matter of common sense. Plain City Community School Principal, Robert P. Stewart, is the kind of man, ideally, every principal should be. Willing to put up with a temporary hassle to provide long range learning experiences for his students. Plain City children are richer because of his leadership. s s required." Neary added that while Dialing is the newest innovation Zero-Plu- operator-handle- Distance d s in calls.
