Steve Ashby, Laytons finance director, said the city's rs ment is a great idea, said Scott Greenwell, Davis High School principal. It is very, very important that students understand what they do in the classroom links to what they do in the future. The Schools-to-Careeprogram gives students help during the schooling process to learn about careers and what career they are suited for. We can't allow the future to just happen, Greenwell said. It is wasteful to choose three or four majors. Schools to Careers helps students make a choice which saves time and money.

After pouring the concrete she took the wood she used for forms and made a work bench. The gacbo was more complicated than the directions in the book implied, she said. Jones began working each day early in the morning so she could beat the heat. It was her daughter, Kelly Bingham, who helped her set the eight octagon shaped beams in the ground. Jones had priced gaebos over the years and even the kits were out of her budget. But the gacbo she built from scratch, using a book, Overheads, Sheds and Gaebos," cost her about $1,500, including the concrete. 12-fo- Bingham recalls it was common over the years for her mother to stop the car whenever she spotted a gaebo.
