Show vvv x- - Pierpont Ave. VOLUME 33 County School Board Seeks Relief from Federal Law The Box Elder Board of Education has joined with seven other school districts of the state, in petitioning the U. S. Office of Ediation regarding the Utah Law involving withholding of state funds from districts receiving Federal aid. Box Elder, Davis, San Juan, Tooele, Weber, Ogden, Logan and Grand districts are the federally affected areas of the state. The petition, which was signed at the last meeting of the Board was passed as a resolution sponsored by the Utah School Administrators at a meeting in Aid Asked For Western Box Salt Lake City Nov. 18. The law referred to, in the Utah petition, is Section Statutes. It provides that the federal funds distributed to the above named school districts be credited to the uniform school fund, in this way depriving the districts of actual receipt of the money, since state funds are reduced to districts listed in the above category. The resolution requests that the U. S. Office of Education declare this law inconsistent with the federal law, as it nullifies the effects of the State law by application of the provision which makes it inoperative. It also calls for copies of the law and the official notice of district deductions be attached 53-7-- 2 thereto. The Board received an offer Elder Ranchers Lewis S. Wight and 'Robert J. Potter, County Commissioners met with Governor J. Bracken Lee last week and reported conditions in the communities of western Box Elder County after continued of three years drought. After hearing the report the Governor sent a telegram to Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, asking for government surplus feed to help the ranchers in Park Valley, Grouse Creek, Clear Creek, and Lynn. Governor Lee referred to the immediate needs of the people in that area as a serious economic situation, and reported that the land owners may lose everything they have unless supplemental feed is made available to them. Mr. Wight reported ' to the Governor of the state that moisture outlook for next year in that part of Box Elder County is good, and if the livestock men are able to feed their cattle for a few months, they should be able to pull through.

Only the use of the Bears famous stall stopped what looked like sure defeat. Nix, Hess and Gam Star Nix, the Buffaloes little forward who came alive In the last quarter, led all scorers on the floor with 19 counters. Garn and Hess, outstanding junior cagers, led the Bears with 16 each. South proved a tougher competitor all the way than did Tooele. Hickox led his team0 mates to a lead in the first quarter of play with six points. However, the Bears came battling back to gain a 7 edge at half time. slight The game was nip and tuck for the remaining two quarters. The Cubs got within four points of the Bears with about four minutes to play. Repeated misses at the basket, and resulting loss of the ball in crucial moments caused the Bears again to use their freeze play. Stall Turns Tide This freeze play stopped what looked like sure disaster in both games and turned victory to Bear River, as both the Buffs and the Cubs in desperation fouled the Bears to victory. Larry Hess made eight foul shots in those last few seconds of play with South to keep the Bears ahead. Larry was the leading scorer on the floor with 21. Teammate Darrel Garn gained second honors with 14 points. Petersen and Stauffer shared, scoring honors for the Cubs with 13 counters each. This Friday the Bears will meet the Tooele Buffaloes at home. No doubt the Buffs will be out to avenge their close loss to Bear River last Friday. A faster start could put them well on their way. , . 13-1- 28-2- Plymouth School To Present1" Christmas Play A Christmas Play entitled "Christmas at the Snoggleses" will be presented by the Plymouth School, Friday evening, at 7:30 P.M.
