Haws Superintendent of Schools is Become Interested i The citizens of Utah want good government, and rightfully so, both on a local and state level, and now is the time for every individual of voting age to be thinking of how to accomplish this. Good government doesnt just happen, but depends on the character and qualifications of those who are elected to office, and the responsibility lies with the voting public. When the majority of our voters turn out for general elections only, just a part of the responsibility has been accepted because vital decisions that affect the type of government we will have are often made long before the final election day. ? Utah voters, do you know how important it is that you take an active interest in your local and state government; how important your vote is in an election; how important it is that you know something about the individuals whose names appear on the ballot at election time; how important it is that you go to the polls and vote for the individuals of your choice in every election. As an elected official vitally concerned about good government, I urge every one of you to become concerned too by becoming involved in the issues that affect your daily lives and your g. Golden L. Allen, Utah State Treasurer End : the War ratio. These special units must be allocated for the employment of recognized as a complex subject to understand, not only for the general public, but to school personnel as such professional non-teachi- Today the attempt will be made to explain the relationship of the professional nonteaching personnel in a school district with the state uniform finance program. One specific means of measuring the various factors in computing the cost of a basic uniform finance program in Utah in the distribution unit. This means of measurement includes several components for arriving at a fixed dollar value in allocating state funds to the various local school districts. Generally speaking, the term distribution unit connotes a particular number of students in average daily attendance, but it may also refer to programs and - or people. Therefore, local school receive special for the units em- ployment of professional nonteaching personnel. Box Elder County School district receives approximately 40 of these units. UNITS ARE ALLOWED each local school district for professional Editor: The United States Senate has once again ap- j proved Senator Mansfields amendment setting a specific date to end the war contingent upon the : release of U.S. prisoners, The House will soon have an opportunity to f finally set that date, if they will. There are : several factors which now make it imperative that they do so: President Thieu has made a j farce of democratic elections in South Vietnam : by running as the only candidate and thereby depriving all South Vietnamese of the chance to choose their own government. Further, while U.S. troops are slowly with-- i drawing from Vietnam not a single U.S. prisoner .is coming home. The negotiatimns in , Paris are meaningless and no POWs have any ; hope of coming home until the U.S. is prepared to discuss a definite date for withdrawal. : Common Cause seeks your editorial support in jour drive to help pass the amendment in the House. Let us not wait for the U.S. election .season to bring the troops home - let us not tie U.S. negotiators hands at the Paris peace talks. Let us, instead, pass the Mansfield amendment, bring our boys home next spring, and insure the safe return of POWs.

Box Elder is one of those districts. Often, federal and other special state funding can be used legitimately to supplement Panders to Blackmail Editor: In reference to a letter published in the Oct. 7 issue of the Box Elder News and Journal, it ; becomes a source of utter dismay to me that there are those who believe that we should : punish school administrators because someone ; sets fire to educational facilities. To do so, would most certainly put the potential rule bender or law breaker in a position those who are responsible to : to blackmail maintain order in our school system. This is precisely what has happened in many of the ' chaos ridden institutions across the nation. ! Lets not permit this to happen here. We all rneed to support our school officials by letting ; them know what we think of those who would destroy our community schools. , Rate Council Action The state also restricts its allocation of ratio funds to those individuals holding valid certificates. Therefore, Box Elder county has endeavored to fill such positions as school board clerk, building maintenance supervisor, community school coordinator, director of small schools, etc., with certificated personnel in order to utilize such funds more adequately. one-to-ni- ne Patrolman Cites 'BACK From The Files Of The Box Elder 50 News-Joum- pl Years Ago Tuesday, Oct. 1, 1921-- - The whistle at the sugar factory will blow in the morning at seven oclock announcing the opening of the 1921 sugar making campaign.
