BEST IMPROVEMENT IN SERVICE AND QUALITY - Arctic Circle on Bountifuls Orchard Lane. In previous years, a young customer could order a Bountie Burger.. .and by the time he received the order, he could also apply for Social Security. The new management deserves a bonus. -- DONATIONS have been collected at the Barnes Bank and First Security Bank in Kaysville to assist the family with expenses which will amount to approximately $100,000 for Bobby to undergo the bone marrow transplant. Bobby, 14 year old son of Robert and Sharron Lundgreen of 332 E. Oak Lane, Kaysville, has chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, a fatal disease giving him three to five years to live. BEST EXAMPLE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE -Auxiliarys distribution of pamphlets to kindergarten children advising them of when to stay home from school due to illness.

Davis County Medical WORST EXCUSE FROM A FOOTBALL COACH -Following his teams thrashing by Bountiful High, Layton High School coach Joe Wood explained away the loss by saying, Bountiful has an excellent weight room facility which we dont have, and that is extremely important. Without the weight room we cant match up with schools that have one. (Yet Coach Wood was strangely silent the next week when his Lancers defeated Viewmont, a team with a weight room. ..and the Davis Darts, currently the most imposing team in Utah, has racked up seven straight r wins with a weight room.

MOST REVEALING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN -The television commercial for ADVO, the direct mail company, which tells viewers that ADVO targets the customers an advertiser most cherishes. (If ADVO direct mail is such a great selling medium, then why is ADVO pushing its wares on television, a competing medium?) WORST REASON FOR BUYING A NEWSPAPER -The Newspaper Agency Corporation is telling television viewers they can eat better by reading the advertisements in the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News. Somebody should tell Joseph Pulitzer that grocery ads are the real reason to buy a newspaper.

If no one picked up garbage, what would our life be like? Do people consider little things they can do to make this job quicker, safer, easier, more pleasant? LAST THURSDAY evening, Maurice and Penny Roche of Roche and Sons, the company contracted to provide Layton with garbage pickup services, gave a presentation to the Layton City Council that was essentially Rules for Garbage Collection. Layton residents should read through these rules and keep in mind the important and efficient service Roche and Sons gives to Laytons people. - TYPE OF Container Regulation 20 to 32 gallon cans or Hefty-typ- e trash bags should be used. Mr. Roche says top quality cans are worth the money. Many plastic cans freeze early in the year and split. The life of a garbage can is only one year. Household containers, GI can cardboard boxes or barrels are not suitable containers. Rain and snow break them apart and garbage is scattered. FILLED CANS should not weigh more than 65 pounds. Dont pack your garbage m tightly. Collectors cannot reach in to pull things out. People get upset when the cans are beaten against the side of the truck. Containers that are bottomless or split along the top rim will be condemned and tossed for disposal with the garbage. IF PEOPLE want to get rid of boxes, the Roches suggest the boxes be flattened out and tied with twine or wire. CAN LIMIT While Layton has no official can limit, common sense says that the number of cans placed out should not be excessive. Mr. Roche said it is very common to find ten cans at one home. Since - Layton has no Spring or Fall clean up program, many people place clippings and prunnings out for garbage collection. The haulers dont object to this if the amount is not excessive. They will pick up limbs, etc. if they are cut in three foot lengths, tied securely and not too heavy. TYPE OF GARBAGE The city wide garbage collection system is designed for the disposal of household garbage only. Roche and Sons are not contracted to pick up car parts, cars, small engines, furniture, appliances, etc. People should be cautious about disposing of caustic or dangerous chemicals and dirty crankcase oil. This is dangerous and harmful to the haulers and the machinery. It is against FPA regulations to dump crankcase oil in a landfill. Toys, bikes, etc. or anything that looks good must be broken or dis assembled so the collector knows it is for disposal. Sometimes a childs bike is left by the garbage cans and thrown away by mistake. WORKERS are required to clean up any mess they make but they are not required to clean up after dogs, wind, etc. If a container or bag is torn, too wet to dump or split, the haulers will not attempt to put the trash in the truck. It will be left. When and where to set trash It is most helpful is a cans homeowner w ill place the trash out before midnight the day before your area pick up. Set the garbage on the curb near your driveway but not in front of mail boxes. - MAKE IT a practice to put the trash in the same place each week. This will help the haulers do their job better, in the dark morning hours, it is difficult to find hidden" trash containers. Layton City has an ordinance overnight parkagainst ing. Cars parked in front of houses make garbage collection, snow removal and emergencies difficult especially in cul de sacs. IN THE w intertime, a thoughtful home owner w ill shovel the snow to make a place for trash cans. By taking a few minutes to do this, the haulers can do their job better and the trash will not get scattered along snowbanks. "Golden Rule" treatment is the goal of Roche and Sons. Their job would be easier if people would treat them as they would like to be treated, dmg Center, Seattle, Wash, on July 15 to undergo the transplant which could provide him a 70 percent chance to recover. His donor was his 13 year old sister Amy. The transplant was to take from three to four months and on Nov. 9 is the 100th day since his transplant and hopefully he may be returning home within that week. Bobby has encountered many difficult moments and hours of being very ill, but is reported to be progressing well at this time. HE WAS released from the Cen3 but had to remain near the hospital where he could be checked and tested for 100 day period. He was not to be left alone at any time, his father and one older sister have been with him until the past week, on Oct. 10 they returned home and Mrs. Lundgreen flew to Seattle to take over the responsibility as Mr. Lundgreen had to be back to his job. ter on Sept.
