Cyprus members and any friends they wish to invite will meet Feb. 4 at Cyprus at 7 a.m. to depart for director Kelly Pearces cabin in the Choir Wasatch Mountains. Singers will drive as close as they can to the cabin, then walk the rest of the way (about one mile) on snow shoes. They may have to dig their way into the cabin to warm up. Once the choir members are inside the cabin, they will have the balance of the day left for fun activities such as tubing, snow shoe racing, and eating. The cost of the party is not yet final, but snow-sho- e rental will be about $3.00 a pair. Cyprus Concert Choir officers introduced the party to the shows off new uniforms acquired through special Purchases Uniforms For Basketball Players PTSA Wayne Hickman, and Beth Barker came running out of Mr. Pearces office and through the room dressed in winter and clothing, carrying a tobogan. After they finished cheering, etc., they introduced Ted Case, Concert Choir president, in unision as our fearless leader. On this cue, Ted came out in and snow-shoe- s a mountain climbing suit to announce the w hens, wheres, and whats about the party. The presentation seemed to arouse enthusiasm in the choir, and the officers as well as Mr. Pearce expect the social to be a great success. 533-613- PRICE REDUCED!! 59,95 New basketball uniforms been purchased for F.

The new concept calls for locating satellite garages near the beginning of these routes in the suburban areas. The 4700 South and 2700 West site is an excellent location for serving the Southwest Salt Lake County area. In addition, U.T.A. feels it will be compatable with the of proposed Utah Department Utah Transit Authority General Manager John Pmgree announced today that U.T.A. had reached a tentative agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation and the Safety Department to locate a major U.TA. transportation complex at 4700 South and 2700 West. The 80 acre site, currently owned by the State of Utah, is also the proposed site for a new Utah Department of Transportation and Safety Department complex. The U.T.A. complex will include a major maintenance facility, satellite bus garage housing approximately 100 buses and the central administration building for the Transportation and Safety Department complex, and, in some cases, there could be joint use of facilities. The Utah Transit Authority intends to prepare an environmental analysis of the site as part of the process of Utah Transit applying for funding from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration for the Facility. The Utah Transit Authority, which has expanded over 400 percent in the last three years, outgrew its existing maintenance facilities at 2nd South and 7th West over two years ago. Since that time, U.T.A. ha: been operating out of several leased facilities near the Salt Lake central business district. The new facility would improve efficiency and aid the Transit Authority in providing reliable service to the public. Authority. An analysis of U.T.A. operations, recently completed, indicated there could be major savings as high as $250,000 per year by locating satellite garages in Southeast and Southwest Salt Lake County in addition to the existing garage near downtown Salt Lake City. Savings come in a reduction in dead-hea- d mileage currently incurred in a.m. and p.m. peak periods as buses travel empty from the central Salt Lake City garage to begin routes in outlying newspaper.

OTA School Editor OPEN HOUSE Defeats Uintah by Brad Hansen Sandy Henry, Jeanette Judkins, Tessie Higgs, In recent weeks a number of physicians have reported a sharp upswing in the number of upper respiratory infections they are seeing. The disease is characterized by fever, cough, muscle aches and malaise. Although no etiologic agent has yet been identified, it is strongly suspected that influenza virus is responsible. The Bureau of Disease Prevention is presently collecting specimens in an effort to identify the source of this disease. These specimens include a throat washing as well as acute and convalescent sera. Any physicians seeing an outbreak of febrile upper respiratory infections who would like to submit samples for examination 5 for should call the Bureau of Disease Prevention at instructions in sample collection and shipment. In early December the Minister of Health of the U.S.S.R. informed the World Health Organization that several outbreaks of influenza had occurred throughout that country. It is notable that the virus responsible for these outbreaks is related to the virus (HH1N1) which is the virus that was present throughout the world from 1947 to 1957. It should be noted that this virus is different from the strain of Swine Influenze A (HSW1 Nl) Influenza outbreaks have also been reported from Hong Kong and the virus there appears to be the same as that found in the U.S.S.R. In the United States - like with a few the majority of isolates have neen isolations of Currently recommended vaccines should continue to be used. Laboratory characterization of the H1N1 strains is in progress for selection of appropriate strains should a new vaccine be required. 2320 PTA project. class in the form of a skit. Doctors Report Many Flu Cases now JFK BASKETBALL TEAM To Grazing Fee Increases Calling it a move to force livestock production off public lands, Congressman Dan Marriott today spoke out against the Interior Department proposed 25 percent grazing fee increase on public lands. In a written statement submitted today to the Departments public meeting at the Salt Palace, Marriott said, I am committed to do everything I can to see that these regulations are not implemented at this time . .Iam convinced the fee increases are part of an overall plan to force livestock production off public lands. The Utah Republican reiterated his support for a moratorium on the increases, a bill he cosponsored in the I expect that the full House of Interior Committee. Representatives will consider this legislation next month. Because of the prompt action and support of this legislation by the Interior Committee, I am confident of its passage, he said. The new fee structure, proposed jointly by the Departments of Agriculture and Interior, would result in a doubling of grazing fees by 1980 or 1981, Marriott told Interior officials at the Salt Palace. These huge increases in fees come at a time when our western livestock men are already near disaster - not only because of economic conditions . . .but also because of increasingly burdensome government action such as environmental impact statements, no predator control, and allotment cutbacks, he continued. Marriott said the moratorium should be imposed until such time as an equitable formula can be worked out taking into consideration (1) cost of production and sheep and cattle prices and (2) proper relationship between the private land lease rate and public grazing fees. The Congressman also quoted Utah State University figures showing that it costs a permittee on BLM land $6.50 Per Animal Unit Month (AUM) to graze his livestock there. costs only, such as That figure, he points out, includes non-fe- e veterinarian fees, travel, maintenance and other costs. It does not consider the investment value the rancher has on . his permit. By adding the current $1.51 per AUM fee on BLM land, the total is $8.01. Under the new proposed fee structure, that fee would increase to $2.21 per AUM in 1980, boosting the total higher. Marriott concluded, These figures point out how out of As a Utah line these proposed increases are I can to see to I committed do am everything Congressman, that these regulations are not implemented at this time. ... all day with P.T.

The Discipline Ideas Presented At Area Workshop Educators are always interested in learning ways of - and parents probably dealing with discipline problems share this interest. If so, the following list - gathered from a teachers workshop - may be helpful to mothers and fathers . : - Dont overreact and escalate a minor incident into a major confrontation. - Dont make threats you cant or wont carry out. - When establishing a set of rules for your children, keep the number to about five. - Except in extreme situations, Mom, dont turn a discipline problem over to Dad. Handle situations yourself. Dad, try to do the same thing. - When reprimanding, express displeasure with the a person. child as not misbehavior, your - When a child is angry or frustrated, try to identify a feeling word and reflect it in this way: You really are angry, arent you? If the child thinks you truly understand his or her feelings, this may encourage further dialogue that can lead to problem solving. - Reinforce proper behavior. It is better than always punishing misbehavior. Positive attention could take the form of praise, hand shaking, smiling or other actions that show approval. - Have fun with your children. A family environment that is all rules, work, and study may create tension - and tension has a way of triggering discipline difficulties. - Dont be bashful about confronting your child about some problem, but be careful about selecting the time to talk things out. If you do it at a time when your child is angry, your discussion may be fruitless and end up in greater difficulty. - Be consistent in your disciplinary actions. Children spot favoritism, overreaction and unfairness. These can damage a parents relationship with a child. Of course, these tips have been rather general. The task, then, is to learn how to use judgment in applying them. Alas, parenthood is not an exact science. But neither is discipline in the schools. Maybe, though, sharing information on discipline will help educators and parents to help boys and girls through. some very difficult and trying times. t QUEST EDITORIAL by Jennie L. Hansen All those who get their water from Granger - Hunter Improvement District are running out of time for getting the facts. In less than three weeks, Feb. 7, to be exact, we go to the polls to decide whether or not we want to become a city. Repeatedly we have voted down consolidating with Salt Lake City. One of the reasons West Valley residents have cited for their refusal to give up their unincorporated status is that every proposal for joining forces with the city has involved doing away with a number of elected offices, namely that of sheriff, auditor, treasurer, and attorney. Well, this incorporation measure being offered us now does the same thing. It calls for only six elected officials; a MAYOR, AND FIVE COUNCILMEN. All other offices are to be appointed. Over and over weve balked at paying city taxes. Now were being told becoming a city wiil reduce our taxes. We wonder how. We will still have to pay all the county taxes we now pay with the exception of the new service district taxes. Well still have to pay those too, only well pay them to the new city instead of the county. In addition well have the salaries to pay of all new officials and employees necessary to run the city. Well have to buy the Countys firestations, buy equipment for them, hire and train our own fire fighters plus put together and pay our own police department. Well be saving approximately eight to ten mills in county taxes, but we can be sure we'll have to come up with more than ten mills to run a whole new city. Were probably realistically looking at a $200 to $300 dollar a year tax increase per home owner. Proponents of the new city estimate its yearly budget at $3,661,000 a year. We doubt that figure is realistic. Orem, a city of 44,000, runs on a little more than $6 million dollars a year. Figures weve been quoted place the average amount necessary to run a city of 50,000 around $9 million a year. We wonder how a group of inexperienced first timers with a city to build from scratch, including a city hall for them to meet in, expects to cut this figure by more than half. Weve heard of the poll taken in Granger which is supposed to indicate that those who are well informed favor incorporation. We find that kind of poll highly suspect. It was taken in Granger by Granger high school students. It doesnt reflect the opinions of all those in Hunter and southern Granger who are affiliated with Cyprus or Kearns High Schools. Labeling those who disagree with a pet policy as less informed or less intelligent is a high pressure sales technique we find in poor taste. Candidates have been slow in qualifying as candidates for the mayor and councilmen posts. At this writing with one day to go for qualifying there are only three candidates. If the Granger-Hunte- r incorporation is approved these three will automatically be in if they get any votes at all. The other three posts will be filled by write-i-n candidates. Weve been election judges enough to know that in any given election and somebodys stake Mickey Mouse, the town drunk, president always get a few votes. Is that how we want to be then the ones represented? If there are not enough write-in- s who did get elected get to pick some of their friends to fill the other seats. Were all for better representation from the wst valley in county affairs, but we question whether ng the Granger-Hunte- r solve Improvement District into a our problems. We suspect it will cause more expense and trouble than it will cure. We urge more thought, study and solution rather than a hasty jump support for a county-wid- e into incorporation before all the facts are in. |
