Show Page July 9, 1980 Ben Lomond Beacon, 2 Beware of auto repair and sales fraud nce Upon a Noble Rainbarrel Editorial comment: By Judith Degn Vanier Heres to the restaurateur who refuses to serve Weber County is growing by leaps andbounds The preliminary figures just released by the U.S. Census Bureau confirm what we already know that Northern Weber County is gaining new residents by leaps and bounds. According to the bureau, in the past 10 years Pleasant Views population has increased from 2,021 to 3,949. North Ogdens population has jumped from 5,257 to 9,186, and Plain Citys population has grown from 1,543 to 2,322. Homes are springing up in what was once peaceful farmland, and those who used to know everyone in town now complain they dont know half the newcomers. The pressure of this rapid population growth is straining police, fire, and other public organizations, too. As the number of residents increases, the number of people providing essential services must also increase, but services have not kept up the pace. Everything is changing, and the change cannot be stopped. The job now is to absorb the growth smoothly and with as little friction as possible. Newcomers will have to be aware of longtime residents problems and feeling to avoid unnecessarily stepping on toes. Oldtimers will have to accept new arrivals in the community gracefully and with tolerance, remembering that they or their ancestors were once newcomers, too. Citizens must give government time to catch up with the changes, and should not demand too much too fast. Those moving from the suburbs to rural areas must face the fact that not all the services they were accustomed to having will be available in their new communities. People used to a rural atmosphere will have to adjust to freeways, more traffic, and crowded neighborhoods. Children must be taught to cope with these new hazards to avoid needless accidents. In a time of rapid change such as this, it is natural for tensions to mount, old ties to loosen, and deep divisions to arise. These are the inevitable results of sudden change. We can control the severity of the problems, however, by exercising restraint, goodwill and common sense. The history of our country is the history of people seeking change. That is our common heritage. It is up to us now to see that the changes taking place are, as much as possible, changes for the better. f I BIBLE TALKS Services are being held in Roy Citizens State Bank.

In this day and age, not many people give much thought to strawberries, in or out of season, except maybe a few growers and pickers who make their living out of the prolonged strawberry season. But one man not only has given strawberries a thought or two, but he has acquired a philosophy of life unique for its excellence. magazine Esquire featured an article on Claude Terrail, the owner and director of the oldest restaurant in Paris by the name of La Tour dArgent. In reading the article one discovers that Messieur Terrail, like a valiant knight, has done battle with a fiendish enemy and for- for us, won the encounter. The grotesque infidel that Messieur Terrail tunately, successfully challenged and continues to challenge daily to COMPROMISE. So you say, What does this have to do with strawberries out of season? Strawberries, like every other tiny detail of the restaurant, carefully have been pondered and given due respect. Messieur Terrail knows full well that strawberries now grown out of season taste as good as strawberries in season for the most part, but he also understands the beauty of anticipation . . . yes, anticipation. He understands that the anticipation of the strawberry season whets the taste for strawberries and the enjoyment is enhanced by the wait. Obviously you will never have to worry about getting instant soup as a filler at his bastion of great food. To say that one goes to La Tour DArgent for a meal the degrades really You will enjoy the reverence & quietness of! 'these services which last only an hour and are given freely. M.Wahlin, E.Ladwig i I most JUDITH VANIER By Edwin Feulner is one of those bright young stars on the U.S. foreign policy horizon. Perhaps because he has never held diplomatic portfolio, he doesnt hesitate to call a spade a spade. He also seems to possess an uncanny second sense that allows him, as they said in the Wild West, to smell out a skunk. It was Phillips, for example, who predicted that the Iranians promptly would cut off their oil to the U.S. immediately following the collapse of the Shah. And Phillips again who predicted the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan almost two months to the day before Soviet troops rolled across the border. Thus, I think its significant that with all the foreigh policy disasters to choose from these days, Phillips points to one of the few remaining spots as the place where U.S. diplomacy has most utterly failed: Pakistan. ' You will recall that in early March, some three months non-troub- le after the Soviets moved into neighboring Afghanistan, Pakistani President Zia ignored the Carter Administrations offer of $400 million in U.S. aid. While this might seem an arrogant gesture by the ruler of a fourth-rat- e nation, it was a telling blow to the U.S., Phillips The entire episode was a prime example of the Carter Administrations proclivity for policymaking by pronouncement, its preference for manipulating symbols rather than wielding power, Phillips says. The offer itself was formulated with minimal consultation with Islamabad and was poorly tendered on what , are businessmen honest, the suggestions in can help this brochure protect you from those who are not.

In fact, new ones are being initiated, and interest groups lobby hard to protect existing programs. Congress must be more than what Representative David d Stockman calls a green disbursement officer who totes up the bill, writes the check, and then trundles off to mourn after the process is all over. No new programs should be added in the entitlement category. Programs already in that category must be shifted back to the annual appropriations process. There, the efficiencies of the delivery system and merits and need for specific programs are subject to Congressional review. Fiscal responsibility is incompatible with blank check legislation.
