Show III heads view sanitation problems are still common." So savs South Eastern Utah Health District educator Cal Cazier as he explains the purpose of a and restaurant cafe sanitation symposium held last Thursday in Helper. An audience of 17 local cafe managers and school food workers attended the two hour session held at the Helper Civic Auditorium designed to identify food service sanitation problems and outlines methods to overcome them. The session was divided into two sections the first half consisting of a lecture given by Cazier on specific restaurant and cafe sanitation problems, the second half a slide presentation narrated by health district sanitarian Gerald Storey. Cazier's presentation focused on the theme (one that should be remembered by anyone involved in food preparation) that there are five basic criteria for food borne bacteria growth and poisoning. First, food must contain the micro- organism responsible for the food poisoning. Second, the food must be suitable for the organism's growth. organisms Jan. 29 as a burglar or burglars got in through the basement window and came up a back stairway.

At the Better Newspaper Awards Banquet, held last Sunday in Salt Lake, the Journal won three awards in the Group III newspaper classification. The awards included a first place in best typography, a second place in best front page and third place for best editorial. The first place in best Mid-Wint- er typography is especially significant in that this award is one of the most highly sought after honors given at the conference. The award winning editorial appeared in the Oct. 17, 1974 edition of the Journal and dealt with Proposition No. 4 on last fall's election ballot. The fact that the Journal took any of these awards is significant in that, because of a Utah Press Association ruling, the Journal had to compete against the largest weeklies in the state which are designated group III newspapers over 2500) (circulations competing against with cir- newspapers instead of culations rivaling that of the Journal's.

John Ghirardelli and Lynna Tone were named last week as recipients of first place honors in the annual scholarship contest which carries with it a $475 scholarship grant to be used at the college of the winners' choice. Both were chosen from a large group of Carbon and East Carbon high school techniques.

Al Veltri, owner of the store, said the burglars must have been inexperienced as they simply dropped their booty and exited through the window where they gained entry. However, experience apparently served to be the best teacher as Veltri's Drug was again the target of burglars a week later. Again, entry was gained through the basement window sometime early in the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 4. This time the burglars were careful to avoid the alarm. Veltri thought he was prepared for any burglary attempt as a new bolt had been in- -' stalled on the door guarding the stairway the burglars had come up in their first attempt. However, Veltri didn't count on the burglars seeking an alternate route, which turned out to be a vent located in the floor. Veltri said the burglars simply placed a ladder beneath the vent and came up in the rear part of the store. This time burglars went straight for the narcotics and were careful not to trip the alarm on their way out. Veltri, Cazier said that, too often, food service managers are lax in Training employees. These sessions, which are being held throughout the Carbon and Emery county expanded it to cover specific areas such as Burglars hit Veltri Drug Veltri's Drug in Helper has been experiencing its own crime wave lately as the store has been hit by burglars twice in the last growth.

The internship program is offered through the university's Hinckley Institute of Politics, which was founded in 15 by Robert H. Hinckley to expose students to practical politics. For three hours each afternoon, the interns compile voting statistics that will later appear on charts and graphs to help Sen. Moss plan his 1976 campaign strategy. Iatcr during Winter Quarter, the interns will help constituents with problems that come to the attention of the senator's office staff. They may also travel throughout the state to represent the Senator with constituents. Mut Spatafore continues working for Sen. Moss alter office hours at his Salt Lake City apart ment, 1070 East 3rd South, "I want to do a good job because knowing Senator Moss will help me get into law school and politics elsewhere." Thus he finds "trying to put forth additional effort to show that I'm a hard worker" the most difficult aspect of his internship work. Spatafore hopes the Moss internship will give him the experience necessary to get elected to a state or national office. "Politics in Carbon County is not large enough to satisfy my political desires," But he does not underestimate the influence of his home county. It was Carbon County, a Democratic Party stronghold, that influenced Spatafore's party preference. The Carbon County native favors unions and is opposed to big business monopolizing small business. He said oil corporations have put independents out of business, causing an oil shortage and higher oil prices. Spatafore also attributes his Democratic Party identification to his lower middle-clas- s rearing. His father, now disabled, owned and operated the Town Cafe, 263 East Main Street in Price for about 10 years. The senior Spatafore and his wife, the former Rose Eaquinto, now care for horses, some ducks and geese and about 30 sheep on their small Spring Glen farm. Spatafore said this background will enable him to deal more effectively with constituents' problems. "I can help Carbon County people with individual problems related to Black Lung, which inflicts coal miners and Social Security," Spatafore said. "By working under Sen. Moss, I w ill have greater opportunity to help people than as a person acting individually." Dolly Plumb, state assistant to Sen. Moss, selected Spatafore for the internship because she was "very impressed with his general demeanor." She said, "I looked over his school record and was impressed, and I knew he had worked on a couple of other political campaigns. He understands what I'm talking about," Mrs. Plumb said in an interview. Mrs. Plumb, whose political experience until eight years ago consisted only of "going to a booth and voting," has been working for Sen. Moss since 1968. She has been state assistant to the senator for two years and in her short political career has become well known within the state Democratic Party for her organization of several campaigns, including those of Wayne Owens, Donald llolbrook and Sen. Moss. Spatafore, too, has had previous political experience. In October and November of 1973, he distributed campaign literature and canvassed for Jess Agraz's unsuccessful bid for Salt Lake City Commissioner. Mr. Agraz is the Salt Lake City traffic engineer. From March through November of 1974, Spatafore distributed literature and assisted in contacting about 150,000 households for Allen Howe's successful Congressional bid. Spatafore is a 1973 graduate of Carbon. High . School in Price where he was a member of the school's debate squad for three years. He was also a prosecuting attorney in the school's court system. lU'lore 1971 he attended Notre Dame School in Price. Spatafore was also a member of Notre Dame's debate squad for one year. |
