The Decision Is Yours An important decision is to be made July 12 by Price City residents, via the the decision to either accept ballot box an ordinance passed by the city council granting a franchise to Mountain Fuel company to supply natural gas to residents of the city, or the decision to reject it. The ordinance has already been passed by the council and can only be removed from the books by a rejection vote of the people If a majority of the vote of July 12 are in favor of the ordinance as passed by the council, then it becomes law and work can start by the fuel company to supply natural gas to those desiring it. Thi3 referendum vote is for all registered voters of Price City and Price City alone and it is not limited to property tax payers as some bond elections are. Only registration date remains July before the election. It is the duty of every registered voter of the city to vote on this question and to make the decision themselves. Outside influence for and against the ordinance will be and is being used on Price people. Make the decision yourself Dont of the city be influenced by remember you live here and must abide by your decision either by upholding your city councils action or by rejection of 5 full-tim- non-residen- ts same. decide on issues Let the that pertain to them and let us vote with clear thought and understanding of our nts own. A Success, While the Sidewalk Carnival Days held during the past week end were considered generally to be a success, it still left something to be desired cooperation of all merchants and places of business. (While there were just t few who did not enter the spirit of the festivities, it was enough to make those participating wonder as to the advantage of such an undertaking or its worthwhile. Many hours of hard work was done by the participants, the Price Chamber of Commerce and others to make this event a success and worthwhile. This was and a spaded by a few makes selfishness that few incidents of one wonder. Q What part of my tuition and cost of books and supplies does the VA pay under the educational provisions of the new GI Bill? A None. If you have been discharged from service and are attending e school under the new GI Bill, the VA pays you $100 a month if you have no dependents; $125, with one dependent; and $150, with two or more dependents. The rate is proportionate for or 2 time. You pay for your own tuition, books and supplies. Q I am seeking some information as to how long one has to wear a uniform in the army to be classified as a veteran? I have been told that a new law has been passed whereby a person wearing a uniform 24 hours is a veteran. I tried to join the Armed Forces several times during the First World War but was rejected. I was drafted soon afterwards. I was sent to Fort McKinley in PortI land, Me., on October 21, 1918. was given a discharge from the service on October 31. All that time I was wearing a uniform. Am I therefore considered a veteran? A To be considered a veteran of World War I you must have served at least 90 days of active, honorable service beginning April 6, 1917 and ending November 11, 1918. An exception is if you served with the U. S. military forces in Russia (hen the unless period ends April 1, 1920, discharged sooner because of a disability. one more non-reside- d But... One such incident was that of placing of a display in two parking places on Main street permission having been granted the police chief prior to its display by to have another city official saying only was it against the state law to do such a service-- connected thing. This is not true. The state does not enforce any city ordinance pertaining to parking meters or parking, but merely is responsible for the maintenance of Main street which is a state highway. This includes snow removal and road repairs only. Before the next event is planned around the beginning of school lets all and selfish and perforget get together sonal feelings and really make it a success. Independence Bay 1966 The Fourth of July falls on Monday this year. That means another long week end of fun and recreation. But this year to a greater degree than in many years, we should pause to reflect on the true meaning of the Fourth of July. There are thousands of families across the land who face a sober Fourth. Their sons and husbands are in Viet Nam because as a nation, we are dedicated to the document which the Fourth of July commemorates. That document is our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, adopted by Die Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. It signifies the birth of a nation and a degree of individual freedom that ex ists nowhere else on earth. So long as the Declaration of Independence endures in the minds and hearts of American citizens, freedom will endure. So, with due humility and reverence, enjoy yourself on this Fourth of July, in the year 1966. Americans will have to work 2 hours and 19 minutes of every day this local tax year to meet federal, state and bills. By way of contrast, housing and household operation, 1 hour and 30 minutes; food and tobacco, 1 hour and 16 39 minutes ; minutes ; transportation, medical, 21 minutes; recreation, 18 minutes ; and all other, 1 hour and 6 minutes. Highlight of Kennecotts calendar of play and recreation is the annual outing at Lagoon, set for June 29. On this colorful day, about 20,000 will invade the Davis County employees and their families guests resort to enjoy the endless round of rides, water fun, games, picnics, Summer fun even includes hot dogs, lollipops . . . you name it!
