WE ARE STILL SMARTING from not winning a first place In the Deseret News, Utah League of Cities and Towns and City Officials Cleanest Town Contest, since they give very generous cash prizes. We won first place In 1968, and the Judge; decided we hadnt worked as hard this time as some of the other towns. They said Fillmore was cleaner In the first place and didn't have so far to go, as some of the other towns. Any one who has a garden, shurbs, trees and flowers, and knows that It takes constant work to keep that place well groomed, and I feel sure that It takes constant work to keep In OUR TOWN which did much lo down score our total points. Some of the places which pulled down our score are vacant lots including the Old Seminary Corner on the Millard High Grounds and the Old George Hotel on Main Street, w cant expect to rate high with an eye sore on Main Street euch as that disgraceful looking building, with broken window, tumble down ceilings, which literally deteriorate each day before our eyes.

This is what happened to the school story last week. It was continued off the front page and then losw Readers could find a part of It alright, but then the last lines were missing. The whole point was....If we bond again, let's make tbe Elementary school needs first on tbe list. We should start this list by selecting and building on a new site. It Can Happen Her . . . Over the past few years, we have written articles about the Increasing crime, the disregard for law and order, the problems In dealing rlth drugs and a host of fields related to this subject, (flen were met with comments from why the ranging to the chief one, concern, it may happen In LA or SLC or somewhere else, but It will never happen In Fillmore. and Is R has happened Citizens should happening. be aware that even though behind some of tbe larger cities, Fillmore is catching R Is most dlst robing up. that we all are not aware that the problems faced In this nation today, have arrived In our town by the back door. The present population at the Millard Jail over the pest 30 days has far exceeded the population at the Fillmore We have had and Hospital. do have now, men placed In custody for drug use and abuse, theft, robbery, manslaughter and auto theft, Just to mention a few charges. The Increase In F'llmores population has not nottcabley directly contributed lo this w problem, but w feel that a certain class has moved In and have come almost unnoticed. Thanks to all the law enforcement agencies, the have (the undesirables) moved on. This growth may not last the building of (he Interstate and other related Whether it doe project. or doesnt la not of any concern to this particular problem. What Is of concern Is the public awareness of what Is going on and what we can beyond do. On ts of the first concerns good law enforcement and the coverage such agencies can provide. We have some of the finest men there Is In this field. However, In Fillmore, we still have el gat hours that a police offker Is not on duty. This Is unfortunate and could be one place to start upgrading. Located on one of tbe busiest highways In the Nation, Fillmore can no longer afford to have those eight hours without police protection. When you become concerned with what ts lacking, then find out Ihe feelings of those people who will be elected to tbeCRy Council this year. Tbe problems w have had lately will seem very minor if we continue to view law enforcement as anug!yStep-chll- d, that we tolerate only because we have to. It Is also remembered that If w don't take car of our own problems ther F a paternalistic Uncle Sam that Is only Just waiting to come in with or without invitation to harras us with a national police force that would be definitely not to our liking. Therefore, we must always support our local police and keep them Independent. STATE ROAD COMMISSION TAKES FAYORABLE ACTION The following letter, received by Utah State Representative Homer U.
