Show The Impossible Dream There s no end to whch the Downtown Dreamers of Big Government, with wil go to spread their theories Big Brother always watching. The latest flight of fancy is a consolidation of fire departments, in which professional firemen would take the place of our dedicated volunteers. The Downtown Dreamers will have a tough time selling this bill of goods to towns like Midvale and Sandy which have long had some of the best fire fighting organizations in the state, on a strictly volunteer basis. To take away these loyal, dedicated groups would be like knifing Santa Claus. In promoting their impossible dream, the Downtown Dreamers are trying to take the best features of the volunteer departmnts and use them as arguments against the volunteers. When they say that the local departments are restricted by boundary lines, they are not telling the truth. If they want proof, we submit the fire a couple of weeks ago in th county in which both Midvale and Sandy turned out en masse and ahead of the paid county department. The Downtown Dreamers are theorists; they do not know how such things really work and they do work! They do not know, or will not admit, that volunteer fire fighters work on the basis of service and need, and they will go anywhere, within reason, to help those who need help. This has been dmonstrated tim and again in the local communities which have volunteer dpartmnts. The only place where boundaries stop fire dpartments is between Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, and the ihing to remember is that it would remain this way if the paid department idea was expanded. No thanks. We'll let the Dreamers keep thir dreams and we'll stick with our volunteers. hard-workin- g, School Board Continued from page 1 eel; pupil services, Linda Stephens resigned, Carol Gregory appointed; South Jordan elementary, Elizabeth Long resigned, Linda Weseman appointed; Title I Draper, Tri-11- a Beal transferred, LaRue Barfuss appointed; Title I Midvale, Janet Ballard resigned, Norma O'Neill appointed.

This quote from Mayor Lee is well worth republishing: "A good illustration Is Dade County, Fla. A "Super government' of experts now exists there. These men are untouchable. They are not answerable to the people at election time and Dade County has more government, more restrictions, more public officials, more bureaus, and more regulations, plus a tremendous increase in taxes. "I oppose these plans and schemes which can only result in taking the control of government from the people." There has been a definite effort to make "federal funds" a magic word, a panacea for all local government ills, implying that such funds are "free" and will never be available again unless we raise matching funds and grab now. Incidentally, of course, we have to agree to all the federal regulations and take all the strings that are tied to the "free" bundle . . . which we find out later has taken away our local independence and freedom to run our own bus- iness. The red tape is now so thick and cumbersome that an Individual town, such as Midvale, cannot apply for and re ceive these fantastic "federal funds." This can only be done through the Council of Governments, which is the first step in metropolitan government. Now there is a new regulation. We have gone along for enough to form the Council of Governments. Now the COG is Informed that it cannot function unless it hires a staff of three people. Typically, these three persons are specified as two bosses and one worker--- a director, an assistant director, and "another person", obviously to do the work. This isatypical"do-good-er- " set-u- p which hangs out the bait of some free money (which we pay in federal instead of local taxes and thereby assure that for every $4 we send to Washington we get only $3 back. And always there is the threat that if the local communities don't solve their problems the state and federal governments will step in and do it. The thing to remember is that we had no problem until the federal government decided we did and offered one of its ready-mad- e solutions, with the local governments giving up their independence in return for some of our own money that never should have gone to Washington in the first place. The workings of this sort of federal freeloading is easy to see when you have a local example, such as Midvale has. According to the law, Midvale is entitled to federal funds to help build its swimming pool. But the federal chairborne executives find technicalities to turn down the Midvale request, while at the same time promoting federal aid on a grand scale through the Council of Governments--Wit- h Mr & Mrs Alvin E.
