MARCHANT STATE CHAMP IN WRESTLING South Summit Bobcat Kent March ant, son of Mr. and Mrs. Moroni Marchant, brought home a grand championship from the State Wrestling meet which was held in Richfield last week,. Marchant beat Emery, Delta and Piute to take the tophonors in the 154 pound class. Third in this class was Doug Moore of North Summit. Also entered in the meet from S.S. was Jimmy Prescott who was doing a fine Job when he pulled a muscle and therefore lost.

Cheering the boys on were students from Morgan, Wasatch and Uintah who forgot their rivalry to encourage others from this region.

Greatest discussion concerned the amendment on taxing which will be termed the Greenbelt Amendment. This amendment will allow taxes to be based on the use of the land rather than past sales prices. When developers or corporations purchase tracts of land bordering the freeways for commerical development, they pay prices which could boost the tax on surrounding agricultural property when; the tax is based on past sales as it is done now. The approval of this amendment would allow tax to be based on the use of the pro- perty. Other amendments discussed was one to allow Judges to be retired from office, to provide for a legislative Budget Session on alternate .years with the regular sessions, to raise legislators pay,' and one to re- -' peal the inventory tax.

By Maxine Wright HENEFE- RWe were greatly honored to be chosen to represent our city at the National Cleanest Town Conference and to accept the award which the people of Hene-f- er worked so hard for. The trip was one we will long .remember and we hope to share a few of our experiences with all who have helped to make it possible. Leaving Salt Lake on Wednesday, February 15, we planned to spend a few extra days visiting some of the places of interest in our nations capitol. The powerful Jet soon had us cruising at 33,000 feet and traveling at a speed of 650 miles per hour. Surprisingly, there was no sensation of motion and in a short two hours the plane set down in Kansas City. In another two hours we were landing at the Dulles Air Port, 35 miles from Washington D.C. We stayed at the Statler Hilton Hotel, which is only a short distance from the White House and early Friday morning we set out to visit it. On the way we visited the St. Johns Episcopal Church, known aq the church of the presidents. The original hand-carvpews with red plush seats and kneeling cushions showed much use. The stained glass windows are strikingly beautiful, each one depicting an incident in the life of the Savior. On to the White House, we Joined a tour where we were shown the furnishings which are all very beautiful and ornate in design and have been beautifully restored and cared for. We saw the Blue Room, the Red Room, the East Room where Presidents Lincoln and McKinley laain state after their assassination as well as the State Dining Room and the Ball Room. The Treasury Department was our next stop where, among the interesting displays we saw counterfeit coins and paper money; the mutilated currency department and a display of materials used in the narcotic business over the years. During the afternoon we toured the capitol building and the offices of the Utah Senators Bennett and Moss, the senate which was in session and the House of Representatives which had adjourned the day previous. From there we went on a tour of the Federal Supreme Court, the National Archives, the Gallery of National Art and two of the five buildings of the Smithsonian Institute. The opening session of the conference was Sunday and featured a display of the scrap books showing the accomplishments of each town. Our book showed up well among the hundreds, many 27 ed many smaller, many elaborate and many plain. larger, We also met the delegation from Brigham City headed by Mayor Oluf E.Z undell. Because we were experiencing our first trip to the conference, they kindly annexed us, and we were happy to be among them. Monday morning the business of the convention began with an educational forum featuring the ten trophy winners. Mayor Z undell of Brigham City represented his home town and Utah well. During the Monday luncheon the National Award of Distinction was presented to William F. McCurdy, President of the Sears Roebuck Foundation for its outstanding civic improvements. Mr. McCurdy was the featured speaker at the luncheon. The Foundation ganization which currently supmore than 900 programs ports Sears Roebuck or is a non-pro- fit throughout the country. The afternoon session consisted of a series of workshops entitled A Strategy for Action where three subjects were discussed: - Defining the Goals of a 1- Community; available for Community Improvement; 3- - How to Move a. Community to Action. Monday evening was the to Conference Reception which was held in the Presidential Ballroom and the Congressional room where the delegates met the director and the nine Judges. Large tables were laden with food, some of it foreign to us and liquor was available for those mho wished it. Tuesday was the important day for award winners. We Joined Wayne and Helen Salts-givformerly of Coalville and the entire 'Utah delegation for the Continental Breakfast in the Presidential Ballroom. ( , Receiving our award was the climax of the five day trip and we happily accepted it on behalf of every citizen of the little community of which we are so proud. After the presentation of the Distinguished Achievement and Honorable Mention awards, Mrs. Lyndon Johnson arrived to present the thirty large trophies to the cities rating top honors. Brigham City, rated as one of the ten top small cities, received this award. They now have the opportunity to try for the Trigg trophy which is the highest honor any city can receive for clean up, beautification and civic improvement.

Operator Pete Miller, on duty at the depot at the time, stated he recognized Governor Rampton but didn't Senator Moss. This friendly man questioned him about railroading and Pete was quite surprised, to find he had been chatting to a governor and a senator. This train was run for the first time four years ago as part of the winter carnival and made such a big hit it has been continued. For local crews it meant another days work for as the line isnt used for regular passenger traffic it must be patrolled by motor car directly ahead of the train. The Park City Local, which travels the line daily, is used to fallen rocks, cows or sheep on the right of way or an occasional wayward deer. For passenger .travel, extra protection musta be added.
