But vacancies will be filled at the local or grass roots level of municipal government in 1971 and this promises to provide its own particular brand of political fancy. Here in Brigham City and in other third-clas- s cities of Box Elder county, three council seats are to be filled and in the smaller towns, constituents will elect two town board members. In preparing this election resume, the Box Elder Journal contacted members of the Brigham City council whose four-yea- r terms expire this year.

The Brigham City man made this observation Tuesday after returning with a group of elementary school youngsters from Crystal Springs where they had been swimming. The outing is a weekly treat which, more than merely providing recreation, is an integral part of the migrants' educational program. "They learn to swim and to improve We've determined from their past experience that swimming teaches explained. It's just part of a varied schedule, the primary intent of which is to teach communicative skills. The Bear River City activity is being financed in part by a total $172,000 allocated to Utah this year under Title I of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education act for migrant schooling. In addition to an elementary school program for youngsters up to age 13, there is also a day care center, nursery and Head Start program operative at the school for the second consecutive year.

Box Elder County Sheriff Warren W. Hyde Identified the youth as Tom Gorman, son of Mrs. Beth Gorman, 435 East Second South. The victim was found In an aqueduct about 200 yards from the point where he dived in, occording to Deputy Curtis Largen Gorman was with three companions also from Salt Lake City. They were: Norm Farrer, 18, 538 Wlnsor; Adolph Sanchez, 18, 752 East Third South, and Walt Mounir, 19, 21 South 23 East. The youths started swimming at about a.m. Monday and Young Gorman up missing at about 2:05 p.m., according to deputies. 10 turned Hit Head Diving Investigating officers speculated that the victim apparently hit his head when he dived into the canal. The trio left Salt Lake City at about 7:50 a.m. Members of the Box Elder county scuba divers team, jeep patrol members, sheriff's deputies and nearby residents aided in the search. Divers ended their search at nightfall and resumed the operation again at 8 a.m. Tuesday. The body was found an hour later on the bottom of the murky canal. the school to aid not only in times of illness and accidents, but also to render general health service to the children. The latter includes eye and hearing checks. Not new this year but an essential part of the overall program, are the serving of breakfast and lunch to the youngsters. Both meals are complete and nutritionally balanced. Allred said the day runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the children coming in from on Perry on the south to Thatcher-Penros- e the north. They ride in four county school buses operated by the regular drivers. Attendance reportedly is good this year. The average in school is 65 students daily with about 55 smallfry, ranging from infancy through five years old, showing up each day for the day care program. "Those who are coming have proved to be regular attenders, Allred explained. He credited this in part to placing the elementary school program and day care under the same roof. Before last year, day care was held separately at Gillespie Hall in Brigham City, Sometimes the younger children were unhappy and when they were kept at home, their older brothers and sisters were kept out of school to tend them. They seem to be more centent with the present arrangement. Heads Day Care Miss Peggy Trusdale heads the day care facet of the migrant program with Marjorie Childs in charge of Head Start. They are assisted by several aides. Virtually all of the children, sons and daughters of farmworking parents who find work in western agricultural arias, speak Spanish. And undoubtedly one of the most effective developments in recent years has been to engage teachers with bilingual ability. At Bear River City, Allred and three other teachers and also three of four aides, (Continued on Page Two) seek Responses varied among the three with only one of them, Councilman Blaine Olsen, definite in his plans. Councilmen A1 Cazier and Byron Armstrong were less specific. Councilman Olsen announced at last weeks regular meeting that he will not seek another term. He did not elaborate. Reached Tuesday, Councilman Cazier said he had not yet made up his mind. 'Tve been giving it consideration but as yet, Im undecided, Cazier explained. Councilman Armstrong said he could not commit himself at this time, indicating it was still too early. The election is still four months away and so all I can say is that Im thinking about it. Anything can happen in the meantime, he explained. I have enjoyed serving in office," Armstrong added. All three men are Republicans. In fact, the entire city council and mayor are members of the GOP.

Olsen said he Elder wasnt sure about the legality of. registering younger voters yet. He said he wanted a clarification of the" situation, wondering aloud if a change in the federal constitution could nullify age provisions of the state constitution. Olsen said he would seek the answer in a conference of county clerks Wednesday. As of yet, no under-2voters have sought to register at the clerk's office, although Salt Lake county has thrown open its books to accept them. It is now acceptable procedure to register voters any time during regular office hours of the county clerk. In addition, there will be three registration days prior to the Nov. 2 election - Oct. 5, 12 and 1 26. Between Board, Employes Accord Seems Near in Talks A settlement appears near in negotiations between Box Elder School district employes and the board of education. , At least optimism was expressed this week as representatives of the Box Elder Education association (teachers), principals and other (classified) personnel prepared to meet with the board. That meeting was scheduled Wednesday evening in the board room, upstairs in the county courthouse in Brigham City. Negotiating teams for the board and BEEA have been meeting since April, discussing both salaries and items. The most recent session going into Wednesday nights talks, was held last Thursday when Supt. J.C. Haws went through the budget with representatives of the three employe groups. The meetings went for five hours. The team has resolved everything it can. It is now up to the board, said Dr. Haws. We are quite optimistic that a settlement is near, he added. Verl Allred, BEEA president, said in advance of the Wednesday session, Hopefully well be able to come to agreement. Weve been working hard the past several weeks, trying to resolve the items of negotiation. There reportedly is more than money involved at this stage where teachers are concerned. Also in question is the status of the master agreement which has spelled out agreements and relationships between the board and BEEA. The board last week adopted an $8.4 million budget for 1971-7- 2 which included only one percent more for employes plus regular increement increases for those not at the top of their respective salary schedules. There was an indication that the board Wednesday would be asked to cut in other areas of the budget in order to give personnel a larger pay boost. Dr. Haws reminded that even if agreement was reached Wednesday, the' terms would still have to be ratified by a mass meeting of the BEEA and formally appoved by the board.
