She is Mrs. Jeannie Brown. Mrs. Brown ranked high in a recently conducted civil service examination, and the postal service selects the top applicant from the civil service registry when a vacancy occurs. James Whimpey, the local postmaster, said that Mrs. Brown fills a vacancy which was created when Fred Chapman retired some months ago. "At that time Whimpey said, there was some discussion in Washington of the possibility of a cutback to a five-dadelivery schedule and officials put a freeze on the hiring of new employees. Thats the reason Mrs. Brown did not join the service until August 2. Since that time, she has been receiving training, but her first day on the job at Nephi was on Monday of this week.

Vandals strike twice at Nephi City landfill Vandalism is costing the taxpayers of Nephi a lot of money, according to Nephi City Councilman J. M. (Ike) Lunt. What appears to be vandalism, Lunt says, has occured at the Nephi City landfill twice during the past ten days. A week or so ago, the gates to the landfill area were broken off. On Monday night of this week, the locks on the gates were shot off. There is a possibility Lunt said, that the vandalism is being caused by scavengers, but we think it is more likely that it is malicious vandalism. Persons having any information on the vandalism are invited by Lunt to contact him or the Nephi City Police department. -1 Dependent solely on the availability of state and federal highway funds, the Mills to South Nephi section of Interstate 15 could be moved a year ahead on the Department of Transportation (DOT) schedules, following a meeting of the DOT commission held at Dutch John last Friday.
