Show THE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1974 PARK CITY PAGE 2 cum State Grant AidsRec LETS PUT LIFE IN THE MEMORIAL BUILDING JOBS FOR OUR SCHOOL KIDS interesting proposal has been brought to the tention of the Coalition that deserves immediate An. offer a vast potential for recreational, cultural and educational possibilities to residents of Park City and the county. Yet very few interested groups or individuals are able to use these facilities. The problem has been that the Memorial Building is owned, administered and therefore, its use controlled by comthe county. Some time ago an mittee was named to examine the uses of the Memorial Building and to try and work out an agreement whereby the city could assume maintenance and direct uses of the building. Thus far, little progress has occurred. Groups and individuals continue to be turned away, even though the building is idle at the times requested by interested parties. The excuse has been that maintenance costs have not been budgeted for more use. The building needs more than mere maintenance, however. It should be remodeled and refurbished in areas where non-us- e and neglect have brought about decay. What can be done? The Coalition feels that the intergovernmental committee should act now to secure the federal funds that are available to put the building back in shape and insure its use by all those who wish to use it. The apartment in the building could be economically remodeled for use by a custodian or director as partial payment for his services. A complete recreational, educational and cultural program must be worked out now by the city to promote positive uses in the future. There is no excuse for further delays. Every year we face the problem of finding jobs for our graduating seniors in high school. Some, of course, will go on to college, but many just leave Park City to find work. Yet as a resort area, we suitable career-orientepossess the potential for a variety of jobs in careers that offer the brightest future in our economy. Tourism is, of course, the very reason Park City has had a rebirth of economic activity. How about a training for our program that provides students in the many facets of operating a resort area? The possibilities are endless. Restaurants, ski shops and the many operations of a ski resort such as lift d on-the-j- ob operations, ski school and ski patrol offer many opportunities for training. Most of these factions of a resort find that the majority of prospective employees come with no training whatsoever for the jobs available. Up until now some of our students have been able to find work locally on their own initiative. But if they were given school credit and a nominal wage for carefully supervised work in the resort area while in school, their g chances for skilled, jobs upon graduation would be greatly enhanced. Its an idea worth exploring in depth, an idea that could insure our future labor force as well as strengthen the communication between the adults and youth of our community. good-payin- JIM SANTY, A MAN TO MATCH OUR MOUNTAINS Park City may never be the same. Jim Santy has resigned his position as Administrative Assistant for Greater Park City Company. He has left Park City and has announced that he will return to the teaching profession. Jim is currently in Idaho working until summer when he will continue his education. Good luck, Jim! In the meantime Park City has lost the unselfish services of a man who cannot be replaced: Count Dracula on Halloween at Marsac School, a volunteer fireman who was always first on the scene, an ambulance driver first aid man, conductor of the choir that and sang on Christmas Eve at the Resort, booster for the Resorts Summer Theater and Summer Outdoor Concerts , master of ceremonies at the high school prom. The list of his accomplishments and unselfish community involvement is endless . At any hour of the day or night when people in Park City needed help, Jim Santy was there doing all he could. Jim could never say no to anyone, anytime. Well miss you, Jim.

This will prevent duplication of activities, fragmented programs, and conflicts with existing programs. What this means for Park City is that a possible $50,000 budget will exist for an extensive program offering youth, family , adult, and senior citizen ac- tivities. Last year a good beginning was made with the summer activities started by Marsac for the school children.

Coleuses are prized for their colorful foliage. The leaves of this particular variety combine many shades of green, yellow, pink, red, and maroon. The leaves reach one to four inches in length and the plant can grow to two and one half feet in height in a bushy fashion. Coleuses prefer four or more hours of full sunlight a day, but they will grow fairly well in bright indirect light. Ideal temperature is 65 degrees to 70 degrees at night and 75 degrees to 80 degrees during the day. Soil: should be barely moist at all times. Coleuses may be fed once every three months with standard house plant fertilizer. To encourage thicker growth you should pinch back new growth per- radically. Some coleuses may be as hanging or trailing plants.
