The highlight of the evening was when Mrs. Erma Brimhall gave each of her 25 grandchildren a beautiful quilt, one she had made herself and quilted. She didn't forget her husband, he received a beautiful star quilt, and he was by her side reaping the harvest of love extended by each of the grandchildren.

BLODGETT BOUNTIFUL There are a lot of things to talk about and not much time to do it when a U.S. Congressman returns home from a speaking engagement with the local chamber of commerce. SUCH WAS the case last Wednesday noon when took Congressman James V. Hansen a few minutes from a busy schedule to address the Bountiful Area Chamber of Commerce at its regular U S. luncheon meeting at the Servus Drug. Rep Hansen, who is spending a few weeks at home in Farmington while his family recuperates from injuries suffered in an auto accident, spoke briefly about several matters dealing with his personal life as well as issues of major interest with HE OPENED his address with an explanation of how he had been involved in three accidents two involving autos and a third while preparing for takeoff at an Atlanta. Ga. airport all w ithin the past three months. Rep. Hansen also talked about and highly praised President Reagan's tax cut: criticized the government's "give-awaprograms;" inflation and high interest rates: the proposed Wilderness Bill: reapportionment: air traffic controllers strike: conditions: and deploy ment of the MX y T E HE ARD that things come in three's." said Rep. Hansen. "So I want you all to relax now because my accidents involving vehicles have already happened." He noted that he was involved in a three-ca- r accident in Washington. D C. a couple of months ago. Then a month or so ago he and his family were collision on Interstate Highway involved in a two-ca- r 15 in North Salt Lake. "AND THE one you may not have heard about which rounds out the three accidents happened in Atlanta when the plane was aboard was rammed by a truck." he said "Even though I was only shaken a 1 still consider that my third accident." Rep. Hansen said he has been detained in Utah while his wife and children, all seriously hurt in the bit, I mishap, are recuperating. REFLECTING on national and international affairs. Rep. Hansen praised President Reagan for his recent tax cut proposal. "1 think Reagan has shown more corn age and done more for this country in the past seven months than any president in the same period of time and more than some presidents have accomplished in a full term of office," said Rep. Hansen. BUT IT'S essential that during the next election the House of Representatives be controlled by the GOP with a Republican Speaker of the House." Rep. Hansen emphasized that the federal government "doesn't owe anyone anything. Eveiy American citizen has the right to obtain for themselves through hard work, but we (government) don't owe them a living." HE SAID the fedetal government has grown "out of proportion" with nearly four out of every ten Americans being a government employee. "The government has become much too bureaucratic," he said. The Utah representative said he is confident that the present high interest rates will begin to drop and drop drastically by the spring of 19X2. I THINK we are going to see a drastic tumbling of the interest rates." he said. "And this will be a good sign because it will make more money available for investments and consequently nomy stabilize the eco . Responding to a question about the proposed "Wilderness Act" (RARE-2)- . Rep. Hansen said he favors inclusion of the Uinta Mountains, but very little else in the state. HE TOLD chamber members that under RARE-2- . the wilderness area will be used solely for solitude It will be open only to backpacking and maybe a little flyfishing, but that's all." he said. "There will be no recreational vehicles allowed and the onlv entrance into the area xvi cases by bush pilots." Rep. Hansen said he favors reapportionment for election of U.S. Congressmen but only if the reapportionment is fair to both parties. I BELIEAE that Salt Lake County should be allowed two representatives, but the third should come from outside the area representing the remainder of the state." he said. "1 don't favor for a minute all three Congressmen being from Salt Lake County." One chamber member asked the congressman to tell President Reagan to "stick by his guns" regarding the traffic controllers who walked off their jobs. I APPRECIATE that." responded the congressman, "But I want to assure you that letters circulating among Congress, in both houses, indicate that they (Congress) would not ratify the president should he change his mind and allow the controllers back to work." When asked by this reporter to respond to the power and authority invested in the U.S. Corps of Engineers regarding the "Wetlands Act." Rep. Hansen said: TOU HAE hit a soft spot with me because I have opposed this power, but. it's something that was provided the Corps several years ago and all we can do now is hope to change the situation. "But 1 feel changes are being made, that the Corps is not as tough as it used to be. Maybe it's'a case of when you feel the heat, you begin to see the light." BOLNTIHL Mayor Elmer W. Barlow added that recent conversations with Corps officials regarding potiential wetlands ground planned for expansion of BARD have been "very cordial." "I think they have changed their attitudes some-hat and are more w filing to negotiate and compromise areas that might be questionable wetlands." the mayor said. REP. HANSEN said he is "still undecided" about the deploy ment of the MX missle in an underground shelter in a centralized location. Tm leaning to a military mix of armament. he said. "I'd like to see a military defense arsenal com prised of the MX. l bomber, missile-carryinsub B-- g d marines, and a xanelx ot other land and missiles not a clustct of Mx's that could be wiped out with a simile attack " sea-base- REP. HANSEN also stressed that a "beefed up" defense is necessaty as a deternant to an enemy attack on the U S "The Russians ate heavily armed, much more so than the U.S . and we can't rely on trusting them for one minute." he said. "Anyone who thinks the U.S. can trust the USSR. I'd like to sell them a bridge." RFP WHSY HANSFN |
