Johnson and members of his family came out of their home and clustered in the driveway. Johnson did not appear surprised, but he did seem a little worried.

The men leave families, friends or relatives to pull hose, ride the engine to a quiet little neighborhood on the west side of the freeway where there is a cement home burning with the help of gasoline and cardboard boxes. The building is an ideal training tower. It is completely cement and we can contain the fire and it wont get away. Its a time to feel the heat and eat smoke, said Chief Don volunteer veteran. Ball, Even though the practice session lasts for at least three hours, the men are only paid for one hour $5. It takes a peculiar type of man to crawl out of bed in an east wind or a blizzard; leave a job or wedding reception to answer the pager notifying him of a fire, said Ball. It gets into your blood. You know you may be saving a life and doing a service that has to be done. There is pride in what you are doing, he said. The inner call to serve the community through the volunteer fire department must be the main motivating force for these hard working individuals. Pay is low. About $5 an hour, which is only paid once a year. In addition, any loss to clothing, mileage, time spent visiting the schools to promote fire safety, caring for equipment or showing firefighter The Layton Elementary School LAYTON at the school PTA will sponsor portrait-takin- g from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

With that kind of treatment, one would tend to believe that there would be a great turnover in personnel. Not so, said Ball. Lawrence Miller, our secretary, has been with the fire department 44 years, Norm Gardner has 28 or 29 years of service. Most of the other 21 personnel have been with the department 10 to 15 years. In the last six years they have only had openings for four men.", multi-purpo- se Because I offer And that makes it easier tor me to give good advice on the right, kind: and amount of life, health, home You have to be kind of nuts, said He cites times that his men came to the station in a complete tuxedo after being called from a wedding line; another was seen fighting a fire in his Sunday suit he hadnt had time to get to the fire station to change, At least six firemen work in or around Farmington, so when the pager goes off, they can staff one truck. If the fire is a large one, then a second page goes out and the other men leave their jobs from Salt Lake to Ogden to come back to town to fight the fire. Of the 21 firemen, 15 are emergency medical technicians. They must drill in addition to the fire drill. These men man an ambulance service run out of the station because it is closer to this area.

In years past the same prankster has mercilessly harrassed his victim. One year, signs advertising free ice cream at Johnsons house were distributed and a neon sign promised ice cream cones to neighborhood children. Johnson had no ice cream.

Cities, Davis County Deadline Set to Plan Resource Recovery Davis County and city FARMINGTON officials have until Nov. 17 to decide how they wU administer the countys proposed resource recovery plant. The $40 million plant would incinerate solid waste while generating steam and electricity and is needed to decrease the load on the countys two landfills which have only a few years of use left. Davis County and city officials were provided, with information on two options available to them on how to administer the proposed plant, Mick Crandall, Wasatch Front Regional Council program director, said. The two options are a special service district or a series of inter-locagreements between cities and counties. For a special service district, the county commission forms a countywide district with ah administrative control board comprised of city and county officials. The board would have all powers necessary al Bountiful May Quit System Water Users Weber Basin Fee Hiked The price of water LAYTON treatment of Kaysville sidestream waters by the Weber Basin Water Conservancy Districr has gone up. The district has been accepting sidestream water from Kaysville, treating it, and returning it at a loss for some years now, the districts attorney, Neil Olmstead, told the members during their monthly meeting. The city also had the right to accumulate water all summer before sending it in for treatment. Now Kaysville will be allowed to accumulate water for only one month at a time and the price has gone up to a more realistic amount, Olmstead said. The mayor of Kaysville, Gar recieved a copy of the new agreement to consider at in early summer but just recently returned it to the districts office.

The issue came up again when many employees again expressed interest in filing to withdraw, he said. The council, with the exception of council member Jay Bingham, voted to approve the proposal. BOUNTIFUL City Manager Tom Hardy has been instructed by the Bountiful City Council to file a notice that Bountiful City employees may withdraw from the Social Security system. Hardy said during council meeting Oct. 28 that if notice to withdraw is filed, the city must wait for two years before it can withdraw from the system. That would give the city some time to:study the matter, he added. except the power to tax, which would remain with the county, Crandall said. In the inter-locagreement, an administrative control board would also exist, but its decisions could not be overrided by the county commission. Individual cities involved in the agreement, however, would have that power. The plant will be a privately owned and operated venture, with the cities contracting with the owner to dispose of their waste. As soon as a concensus is taken of which option the various cities and county agencies want, the next step is for each to formally approve the decision by resolution. The Layton City Council voted almost two months ago to create an inter-loccooperation agreement so the cities could maintain more, control than the county. Layton officials are especially concerned about control of the facility because one of the prime sites being considered for the plant is on a piece of Air Force property in Layton. An estimated 500 tons of garbage a day would be hauled through the .citys, streets if the Layton site were chosen. About 550,000 gallons of water a day would also be needed to operate the plant, which would more than likely be provided by the city. Although a definite decision has not yet been made on the location of the proposed site for the plant, the plant will need to be close to Hill Air Force Base, Crandall said, because the plant will incinerate solid waste and much of the steam will be sold to the air force base. The plant will also reduce waste entering the two landfills by incinerating 85 to 90 percent of the waste, Crandall said, extending the life of the landfills.
