It will be necessary to observe sanitary and space regulations. regu-lations. The exact nature of an emergency emer-gency measure which may be adopted has not been decided. Mayor Morrison proposed that certain cer-tain zoning and space regulations be temporarily suspended, for a period of fifteen months. The Council took no action on this proposal, pro-posal, but is expected to decide on a policy within a few days. Delta City Grant Gains Approval Sen. Frank E.

His resignation took care of the immediate cut-backs in the veteran's program. Apparently members of the board of education in 1951 were looking for outside funds for building purposes. pur-poses. A minute entry of Dec. 5, 1951, reads as follows: "Laws existing in Utah appear to make it impossible for the schools of the state to participate in federal allocations al-locations for building aids since at present there is no existing law permitting the state to obtain money for matching such federal funds." Ray Adams from Fort Duchesne met with the board on Dec. 3, 1952 to discuss the need for a better Indian student program. This program pro-gram was a changing one and the amount of funds was determined deter-mined by the number of students involved. Funds for the veteran's program and adult education during the mid-fifties suffered a cut-back as reported by Supt. Maughn at the April 1, 1953 meeting. He said that twenty veterans would be enrolled on July 1, 1954 and that the figure would drop to 12 by Jan. 1, 1955. In the meantime, veterans were returning re-turning from the Korean War and were applying for training. A change in the program required that veterans would deal directly with the school district rather than the state. A Farm . Training program pro-gram for Korean veterans receieved a stamp of approval by the board on June 3. 1953. The U. S.

Travel council director Dave Rose said each citizen will be asked to extend a personal invitation to a friend or relative-or many of them-to them-to visit Utah during 1968. Through the council program, Mr. Rose, explained, specially-print ed invitations are being distributed through the state's daily newspapers news-papers and will be made available through local offices of television and radio stations, weekly newspapers news-papers and chambers of commerce. The director said the invitations bear a message from Gov Calvin L.

The investigation was begun December 29, 1967 following severe criticisms of the Millard Board of Education and Superintendent Tal-mage Tal-mage Taylor by a citizens committee commit-tee from the east side of the county headed by Duane Peterson, Fillmore. Since the initial beginning, state school officials have made other trips to Millard and have taken statements from many citizens. Some of the statements were in support of the board and the super intendent while others belied support sup-port and confidence in the school officials, according to State Supt. T. H. Bell. All facets of the schol business will undergo close scrutiny. the mailing piece. The invitation also includes a coupon, which the friend or relative rela-tive would clip and return to the Utah Travel Council in exchange for a packet of Utah promotional literature, he explained. The "Invite a Friend to Utah" campaign is expected to produce tens of thousands of visitors to Utah this year and to increase the state's economy by hundreds of dollars. Mr. Rose said the citizen campaign cam-paign would be a financial "shot in the arm" to the state's agency's advertising budget, which necessarily neces-sarily was reduced during the current cur-rent fiscal year. The 1967 Legislature Legisla-ture slashed the Utah Travel Council Coun-cil budget by some $200,000, from $1.35 million to $1.15 million, Mr. Rose recalled. Similarly, the advertising adver-tising budget was cut from $275, 000 to 247, 000 this year. ! Slesirarf are: 1. Must bo a member of the graduating class of the current year; 2.
