Council approved, upon the okay of their city attorney, the letter stating the council approved the location of the estabishment, which is proposed to be built at 5700 S. 1900 W. on the east side of 1900 W. An attorney representing Skippers said the company did not wish to spend money designing and building the restaurant if City Council would not authorize a beer license when the restaurant was ready to open. The establishment will be subjected to the same checks and laws as any other commercial building under construction. After the letter was approved, Councilman Dennis Chugg questioned what he called the' inconsistency with which council approves beer licenses. He asked that a workshop session be set for the council to discuss establishing a policy by which they can issue beer licenses fairly. Plans to refire in March bv Keith Duncan What is the incentive after serving 20 years as a recorder for the city of Roy?-Wh- at could be next on your long list of goals? For Madge Gibson, the wonder lady of Roy, these questions confront her as she plans to retire from duties as city recorder on March 29. Her career with the city, her association with top officials, working with everyday problems that somehow seem to make a city grow more, all this will be left behind. She sometimes asks herself, just how she will wake up in the morning and not help but feeling the pulse to ge back to work. I want to spend more time with my family, mainly with my six lovely grandchildren. Ill be leaving with mixed emotions and then again a sense of pride since Ive seen this city go through good and bad times as it has built itself to what it is today, humbly stated Madge. If anyone will hate to see her depart from city services, it will mostlikely be the friends she has come to know over the years. Some of those friends are the heads of small businesses throughout the city Roy High School hosts County Skills Olympics The Weber County Skills Olymwith pics, Roy, Weber and Bonneville students competing, will be hosted this Friday by Roy High.

A? thiscountry celebrates its 200th birthday, many citizens reflect back on past heroic events and the many noteable people who helped shape those happenings. Switching to a smaller celebration but proably just as special to Mrs. Gibson as the countrys birthday, is her retirement from service with the Roy community. Certainly she has had much to do with the success and her years of service has to be some kind of record. 20-pl- Dedication to the city of Roy does not stop with just Madge, it runs in the family, her husband Clyde, presently serves as the fire chief. Mrs. Gibsons father was fire chief for many years, and the family now has two sons serving in the Ogden Fire Department. ROY There isnt enough money in the budget to send on of the city planners to Washington, D.C., for the Nation Conference of planning, determined City Council members. City Palnning Commission Chairman Jack Seamons asked for approximately $600 to send a member of the commission to the conference, expressing the importance of getting new information to help the planners. Seamons said he would not go himself as he went last year, but he would like to send one of the new members of the Commission. Seamons said that though there are state programs for planners they would not present the same information or benefits as the national workshops. City Manager Wayne Kimber told Seamons that he recognizes the value of conventions, but because the budget is so tight he would have to recommend to the councilmen that they not approve spending the money to send the planner to the convention. Theres no doubt benefit derived (from attending the convention) but we have to denied cut down. Everyone is doing without conventions. Until July (the beginning of the next fiscal year) they are eliminated, said Kimber. Councilman Dennis Chugg presented a motion to deny the request for funding the convention trip. The motion included that the Commission should contact someone from the Weber County Planning Commission following his return from the national convention to discuss the information presented to the planners nationally. ( The motion was passed unanimously. ChHdren sought Parents with children who will be entering kindergarten this year are advised they need to contact the school closest to them to check on preparations for sending their children to school.

Stake President Earl B. Child has asked all stake members to be in attendance and extends a cordial welcome to investigators and friends. Mrs. Gibsons duties over the past years would be enough to suit an army. Some of her duties included registering documents, working diligently to help the number of subdivisions get off their feet, she is primarily in charge of each election that the city of Roy holds, and that includes the organization of judges, receiving petitions and placing them on the ballot and eventually swearing in the winning candidates. Shes done this kind of thing for the past 20 years. Mrs. Gibson moved to Roy in 1940 and she began her career with the city in 1956. Clyde was running the Robins Canning factory and Madge was acting as the bookkeeper and clerk. As a member of the Kiwanis Club, she served as a representative for Roy to the Utah Public Employees Booster Club and was also a representative of the Municipal Clerks Association of the state of Utah. Some of Mrs. Gibsons most cherishable moments go far back when she had just arted. When I first came to the city building, the city was in the process of putting in sewer lines throughout the numerous streets. It was a task trying to bill all the people. Some of them payed by cash and others were to be billed. It was a big step for Roy. When I first started, there was only two of us in the office. When a ftre call came in, one of us would have to go out and hit the siren and tell the firemen where to go when they arrived at the station. Another event that she remembers was when Wayne Kimber arrived in the city as the city manager. When Mr. Kimber started, we had to go through all the city records and revert over onto machines. All this took place in 1959, said Mrs. Gibson. Members of the city council when Madge began her services were C.W. Rapp as mayor, with the councilmen being J. Alex Patterson, Vern W. Thompson, James A. Nelson, E. Gayle Sheffield and Delbert g Brown. Twenty years ago, the city had one elementary and now says Mrs. Gibson, We have a high school, two junior highs, and five elementaries. The businesses in Roy have more than tripled. I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay with the city and hope I can enjoy many more years of comfortable living here, concluded Madge. ROY HIGH SCHOOL debator Gary White.
