Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. proponents and opponents of the proposed city purchase will have an opportunity to air their feelings in a public meeting to lie held in the Grantsville High Auditorium. The March 8 referendum was set recently when a drive spearheaded by Grantsville City Judge James Williams collected some HO signatures opposing a move by the City Council to buy the chapel. IN with ACCORDANCE the Grantsville City Charter, the council had passed an ordinance proposing the city purchase the chapel as a capital improvement. But Williams, a memlier of the First Ward opposed to the city naive, was ready, and took advantage of a little-usepart of the charter. It says any time 15 percent of those who voted for the mayor in the last election sign a petition opposing a city ordinance, that ordinance must lie placed liefore the public for its approval. A d The chapel controversy dates liack to the summer of 1975 when, after a decision was made to tear down the structure and make wav for a new chapel, the Grantsville Heritage Preservation Committee was formed and liegan seeking funding and citizen support to save the building. SOME FUNDS were raised to help purchase the chapel, but a vote taken from the adult members of the First Ward late in 1975, revealed a majority of the members felt the building should not be sold to the city. Williams said some of those wanted to keep it as their chapel while others wanted to see the building torn down.

COLE, WHO said the city has no plans to build a new city hall, would like to purchase the old chapel and use it for a combination library city hall community center. But Williams and those who support him said Wednesday the it city should use the would take to purchase the building from the LDS Church to help finance a new city hall on city land located next to the Grantsville Fire Station on Main -- Street. The City hasn't even determined what it will cost to adapt the old building to city use, Williams explained. But Cole said the city could move its operations into the building with little initial expense for renovation or adaptation. IF WE could get into this building, weve got a large facility where we could not only carry out our municipal functions, but also provide services for senior citizens and other community groups which dont he have . a place right now, The chapel part explained. would probably be a library. Cole pointed out the city would want to expend some funds in a gradual modification effort to adapt the building in future years. Williams said a major plaint among residents is that the city hall should remain on Main Street rather than be moved to the chapel one block east of the towns center. the Cole disagrees, saying location of the city hall isnt important. I dont think it makes any difference, the mayor said. American Forks city hall is not on the main drag. Im sure that was important in the old days w'hen everybody drove through town down Main Street, but now I com- dont think thats really signi- ficant.

Nothing seems to help a playground scrape or a tummy ache much more than cooing mother, and kids in Tooele County Schools are no exception, according to Red Cross volunteer Ann McCluskey. Thats why she is busy rounding up mothers of Tooele Central Elementary students and teaching them the ground rules for applying TLC to the schools st students. ALTHOUGH it sounds like one, TLC isnt a new medical acronym used in local hospital jargon. It stands for Tender Loving Care and To Listen Carefully. According to Mrs. McCluskey, those are two things school children need when a minor accident or upset turns an otherwise normal day into a trying one. The goal of the Red Cross TLC program is to prepare some 25 Central School PTA mothers who have volunteered their time to lie School Health Aides.

BUT PERHAPS most importantly, the Health Aide can listen and sympathize w'ith an ailing youngster. Busy teachers and administrators arent always able to help as much as they would like to, according to Mrs. McCluskey. Another advantage of stationing a mother in the health room is that it allows the school to keep track of a youngster when he may be ill, she said, pointing out that the school is responsible for the child during his school dav.
