Mrs. Carl Ashby Resigns from School Board Mrs. AltaAshby, Vice President of the Millard Board of Education has submitted her resignation to Pres. of the Board, Mr. Clifton Beckstrand of Meadow. Mrs. Ashby represents the Delta Precinct. Reason given for her resignation were for health and the recent decision de-cision of the board to heat the new DHS-DJHS school building electrically. electri-cally. Mrs. Ashby at first voted for e-leotrical e-leotrical heat along with Mr. Jack Nelson and Mrs. Delma Jean Galli in a special meeting held earlier this month. Further study and fact-seeking fact-seeking on her part has resulted In he conclusion that the electrical heat would magnify the Mainten ance and Operations problems of the district to a drastic point. At her own expenses Mrs. Ashby has made numerous telephone calls and trips to various parts of the state inquiring about school plants which utilize electric heat. Before deciding on the exact fuel for heating the plant the school board had made a trip to Pocatello, Idaho at the expense of Utah Power Pow-er & Light to study and gain firsthand first-hand information on an electrically heated school plant there. The board has, also, made a trip to a school plant in the northern part of the state to look at costs of heating electrically as compared to other fuels. In a special meeting Thursday night, Mrs. Ashby moved to rescind the motion to heat the building electrically. The motion was brougt to a vote and the result was Mrs. Ashby and Dr. Evans voting "no" and Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Galli voting vot-ing "yet". Pres. Beckstrand cast the deciding vote "yes" after a day's study and inquiring of school boards within the state whose districts dist-ricts have a school building heated electrically. Pres. Beckstrand made numerous telephone calls, also, before be-fore making his final decision. Mrs. Ashby submitted her resignation resig-nation in written form and asked that her letter be considered as a formal resignation. She asked that the board move immediately to fill her vacancy for the February meeting. meet-ing.

"SERVING Volume 55 Number 31 Down jawnc)et, By INEZ RIDING We've had at least four band teachers at Delta High School since we returned to Delta. After each one has left many of us felt that he could not be replaced Remember how crestfallen we were when Mr. Richard Long left? He was replaced by the very able Mr. Don DaGrade. When Mr. DaGrade left our fears that our band would melt away to nothing never materialized. We were fortunate when Mr. Carson Sharp appeared on the scene. And aren't we lucky that JOE MOODY has now picked up where Mr. Sharp left off? As Bob is fond of saying "Good things come to those who wait." We've got another excellent band teacher, I think. The Pep band at the recent ballgame sounded as good as it has ever done under the other three band directors. (Well, I surely thought so). The Pep Club never fails to a-maze a-maze and please me. You girls are lucky to have such a capable teacher. tea-cher. And now to the basketball team. Team members are GOOD individually individu-ally and TOGETHER AS A TEAM, they are terrific. Coach Christen-sen Christen-sen could field two very good teams any time he chooses, I believe. be-lieve. What a reserve. AND what a coach. Calm, cool, deliberate. Guess what I'm trying to say is a repeat. "We like OUR schools!" Guess every second Wednesday ll'll have to pack up. my purse with a pencil and notepad and head for the Millard School District offices. When I'm asked about the consolidation consoli-dation plans of the school board I have to answer that I don't exactly know. We kept hoping that news releases on school board meetings and special meetings would be forthcoming without my taking a whole day or an evening to attend these meetings for news stories But, guess they are not. I feel like a fifth wheel at school board meetings and feel that 1 don't exactly have the time but neither do I like to feel that we aren't keeping school patrons in formed on school board actions as well as we have done in the past. So, FIFTH WHEEL OR NOT. we'll get the news out. I'll be glad when Fillmore Elementary Elem-entary School has a new boiler. It's needed, I think and I hate like the dickens to think that any Millard School parent has to go through the fears and feelings that we did at the time Delta High School was undergoing so many engineering surveys on the structural soundness Hospital Board Holds First 1965 Meeting Monday The West Millard Hospital Board met for the first time in 1965 Monday Mon-day evening. Pres. Leo Day presided at the meeting. The Bamberger Foundation has awarded a four-year scholarship in nursing to Laura Lee Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hansen, Han-sen, Vice Pres. Loa Black announced.- Mrs. Black had also received a $500.00 check from the Foundation for the hospital. This check makes the total contributed by the Foundation Foun-dation to the Hospital between $4,000.00 and $5,000.00. The Hospial Board is grateful for the warm hearted support accorded to the hospital by west Millard residents. re-sidents.

Special thanks were also extended extend-ed to Mrs. Lilac Holman and the Millard County Chronicle for making mak-ing the Christmas Greeting Card fund drive a success. Special notice was given to Joe Stewart at the Chronicle for the typesetting which goes into the Christmas card list and to Bob Riding for laying out the paper in such an eye-pleasing manner, replete with extra color. Mrs. Holman spearheads the Christmas Christ-mas Card fund drive each year, no small task. Officers of the hospital board are Leo Day, Pres, Loa Black, Vic a Pres.

I don't ever mean to be. iln any case, patrons pat-rons of any school should not have to be concerned for their children's welfare. Patrons have enough daily problems to face without that. Since the last Chronicle was published pub-lished I hare had some interesting remarks made to me. Some of them made me bust my buttons. I was theft pleased to hear them. Such as? Such as: "You are becoming be-coming a very fine newspaper editor." ed-itor." "I want to compliment both you and Bob on the journalistic quality of the Chronicle and for keeping the high standards of the paper as set by the Beckwiths." (Whoops, there goeth another button.) but-ton.) "You can't possibly be a Dem ocrat. You think just like a Republican." Repub-lican." (This by a Republican referring re-ferring to the edi.orial in last week's paper and my column remarks re-marks on insurance for state employees.) em-ployees.) "Isn't Gov. Rampton going go-ing to come up with something -hat pleases you?" (This by a Dem ocrat who read the same editorial and comment on insurance and . .) Thanks for the first two remarks. Very heartwarming, indeed. The second two require more comment from me. (Isn't that a surprise. 1 usually have so little to say.) .... I am a Democrat and if on some things I believe and express the same sen iments as Republicans this only proves one thing. NEITHER NEITH-ER PARTY NOR ALL ITS MEM BERS HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE COR NER ON A LOT OF THINGS. I thought during the election campaign that I would surely have to become an Independent because J could not and still can not sup port all goais of either party. I am so mixed up. I think I just can't can't possibly take anyone's word that this program is better than this one or this one over that one. I have o come to my own conclusions, conclu-sions, time consuming that that can be. I can't renounce the Dem ocratic party and I'm there to stay m that grand or party which prom' ises too much and gives too much because it cares too much and hopes constantly for a better to morrow. I think it's a good party and I can criticise because I'm a part of it. We tend to criticise what we love because we hope to correct all faults. And now the last. Yes, I'm sure that Governor Rampton can and has recommended many programs that I find laudable. I JUST MAY NOT GET AROUND TO LAUDIN! Seriously, even if he personally tried he couldn't displease me on every count That should answer that. Besides that I like the way his eyes twinkle! And I like this from President Kennedy: Compromise on ISSUES, not PRINCIPLES. eon letteir to Dear Mrs. Riding: Who was it said "I do not agree with what you say, but I would defend de-fend to the death your right to sa it". These words described my feelings exactly after reading Mr. Eliason's article in last week's Chronicle. Therefore, I too feel that I should "stand up and be counted" count-ed" concerning this controversial issue. I feel very strongly, that the real and lasting benefit that could come from a project such as a Job Corps Camp, is being completely overshadowed by the foregone conclusion con-clusion that these boys if not now, will in future) become criminals, or some other type of public offender, of-fender, 9'MPLY BECAUSE THEY COME FROM UNDER-PRIVILEGED HOMES, OR HAVE LEFT SCHOOL FOR SOME REASON OR OTHER. Is it not a matter of public record that there are just as many criminals crimi-nals and social mis-fits who come from the OVER-PRIVILEGED HOMES? Our police records are full of sex-crimes, murders, burglaries and senseless beatings, all committed commit-ted by boys who have had every advantage and opportunity to be come useful citizens.

In 1951 a similiar plot was uncovered at West Point Academy, Aca-demy, all perpetrated by boys coming com-ing from what would be considered the finest homes in our nation. I cannot help but wonder just what our reaction would be, if 100 Air Force or West Point Cadets were to be stationed in our area, instead of the boys in question. It we look at the answer honestly and without prejudice, there should be some red faces in our midst. PLEASE do not think, that by citing these incidents, I am condemning con-demning any of these wonderful schools, nor any of the fine young men who are honestly enrolled there on their own superior merits, for to do so would be as unfair and bigoted as to brand 100 boys as UNDESIRABLES simply because they come from UNDER-PRIVILEGED HOMES. Mr. Eliason's list of qualifications were very impressive, and I agree with all of them, for 1 know of few men who stand taller in the community or Deseret Stake than he does; still I am confused.

Surely in the good moral atmosphere at-mosphere we have tried to create for our children, have we not told and re-told the parable, of the Good-Samaritan, and stressed the fact that we are in very deed our Brothers Keeper. The qualification to voice my opinion, is only that of a mother who has had the privilege of rearing rear-ing a son and a daughter and have experienced all the joy and yes even the problems and worries of such a responsibility. But, I have never seen any youth in trouble, morally, with the law, or even handicapped han-dicapped mentally, that I do not think, "There, but for the grace of God, go my children." 1 feel that we as residents of this West Millard area, cannot in good conscience, turn our backs on these boys. To do so, we would in fact be adding to the already tremendous tre-mendous task of their rehabilitation. rehabilita-tion. For if this project continues to meet only turned backs, closed doors, or cool aloofness, then in my estimation, there could be real troubles not just anticipated ones.
