Show Page 4, The Leader- - The The Garland Times,March 29,1973 LETTERS Editor al has played a vital role in predominantly rural Box Elder County and if the reception given the three space explorers who recently visited here is any indication, a lot of people are justifiably proud of the part they have played in it. The three astronauts, Dr. Jack Harrison Schmitt and Navy Capts. Ronald Evans and Gene Cernan, commented favorably to officials of the Thiokol Chenical Corp. about their positive reception: The astronauts were particularly impressed with the "patriotism shown by students" at Bear River and their enthusiasm during the visit, according to Mr. Jim Brown, chief of Public Relations for Thiokol. Mr. Brown reported that the trio indicated the reception was as great as they had received anywhere. The visit is also a feather in the cap of US Senator Frank Moss who accompanied the astronauts. Senator Moss has only recently taken over as chairman of the Senate Space Committee. The appointment is one in which the Senator will be able to bring considerable influence to bear in looking out for the space industry intere sts of Utah and especially Box Elder County. Finally, the Thiokol Chemical Corp. should be commended for their effort in bringing the three astronauts to northern Utah. The visit was an event which definitely impressed local residents and apparently, one which also impressed three of the United States' moonwalkers with the quality of people found in northern Utah. Local Citizens Deserve Our Thanks Two - f : n0 Deloris Stokes ; Once again, as has been true so many times before, Tremon-to- n and the whole Bear River Valley owe two of this area's long-tiresidents a vote of thanks. In this instance, however, an ordinary, everyday variety "Thank You" seems entirely inadequate. There's an old saying that when you want a job well done, the first thing you should look for is a busy man, since he always seems to have time enough to spare to accomplish at least one more project. Perhaps that's why both Deloris Stokes and Jay Dee Harris always can be counted upon whenever anything of importance to the community is in need of supervision. On April 1, the Valley Hospital will again be opened to serve the Bear River Valley commun- - TO THE EDITOR Better Off Than We Think Astronauts Praise Residents The space industry Editorial Guest Higher beef price s- -a particularly sharp thorn in the side of most household food budgets -- have been caused by many things. Relatively heavy demand for feed grains due to foreign sales, weather delayed harvests, and the general progression of inflation continually fired by federal government deficit spending have had their effect. One of the most important factors is high consumer demand for beef. And here is the key point. Supply and demand in the marketplace set the price for beef regardless of farmer-ranch- er cost of production. As an authority in the industry has pointed out, beet unlike most manufactured products, has a fluctuating price level. It goes both up When supplies are reduced "... and down. to tend rise because consumers are bidprices ding against each other for available meat." Higher prices provide the incentive for farmers and ranchers to invest in bigger herds and expand their facilities. The effect of this is to increase supply, which, in the long run, has the effect of bringing lower prices. All this is going on right now, but it take's 20 to 24 months to steer ready produce a 1,000 pound feedlot-finishto be sold to a packer. U. S. beef production has been boosted 2.5 times in the past 20 years, and it is estimated it will have to be doubled again by the end of the century. This can be done, but those who raise beef cattle will have to make enough from their effort to pay their cost of production plus enough profit to encourage them to expand herds and production facilities.

I feel lam voicing their opinion also. I believe the race will be governed good enough for these three days in May, but what the next three months, or the next three years, or the next three decades. The ranchers out one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles have definitely got a concern.

The current tactic seems to be a boycott against meat Heck, we've been doing that for some time now.

Schumann Family and the Family of Hyrum Schumann - Employees Get $35 Tremonton City employes will receive a $35 across the board pay hike following action taken in executive session by the City Council after last weeks regular session. The sudden executive session came as a surprise. Duringthe regular session, councilmen had announced intentions to meet last Monday to consider the matter. The impromptu session was held after spectators and newsmen had left apparently because a couple of councilmen expressed second thoughts about being able to attend the Monday session. Mayor Wayne Sandall said he wanted the entire commission to be in on the decision. City employes gained an additional $5 per month over the $30 across the board hike offered by the Mayor during the regular session, but they apparently lost $5 in a compromise. Council woman Yo landa Allen said "several" of the council members were "kind of looking for $40." Continued as- ay from Pg I The commissioner said: "It has been the feeling of the commission clear back to the time the Brigham City home was built that if and when it reached capacity, the alternative was to build an additional home and that it should be built in the northern part of the county." We feel that the time has arrived," he added. Brigham's nursing home was built for 60 people and currently has 63 living there with a waiting list of 60-more, Commissioner Chase said. The commissioner cautioned that it is up to the city of Tremonton to decide whether they want to supply the necessary utilities. "The County is not trying to tell the city what to do," he added. "If these things can't be worked out we'll have to look at another site," he said. A site on the property where the Bear River Junior High school sem'nary is located and one southeast of Tremonton were considered by commissioners and discarded. Voting on the pay hike was unanimous. The pay hike which affects 11 city employes will be retroactive to March 1 of this year. The city librarian will also receive a pro-rat- ed share of the pay hike since she is a part-tiemploye. 70 TO CAPISTRANO The swallows returned to Capistrono March 19 following le their 6, flight from Argentina.
