The program, developed and coordinated by the Agriculture Council of America, FOR recognized that regulation has become a problem to all Americans. To determine what extent this problem exists, and what the costs e and curtailments might be, a prois gram outlined to develop a balanced and workable approach to regulatory reform. The first phase of the reform program is a citizen's audit of federal regulation. This will include a national mailed survey form, allowing citizen's a chance to express their feelings on government regulation, plus a national telethon, telephone surveys and controlled In four-phas- polls. The second phase will develop a basic plan for reform The results from the first phase will provide the direction for this undertaking, seeking to increase accountability, streamline procedures, and improve overall public participation. Third, the FOR program will test their proposals by submitting them again to telephone surveys and mailed forms, with necessary j !. refinements then built in. Then finally, the findings will be aired on the broadcast possible basis, seeking support, and pointing out the benefits of the implementation of these reforms. The overall program is receiving wide bipartisan support in Congress, and from organizations throughout the country. We suggest that all persons who receive a copy of the survey should take the time to study, then answer the quiries, with the thought that their opinion may help to develop a more meaningful relationship between individual consumers and the government. Secondly, we feel that during the telethon, which is to be held during the week of September 11 to 15, local residents should e take advantage of the phone lines to conto their senators, opinions express and regulators manning phones at gressmen that time. It is hoped that the mail and telephone survey results will offer a grassroots feel for what is working and what isn't somethng a statistically valid poll could not provide. The emphasis on the mail survey is important because survey research shows that people who respond tend to be more active socially and politically. This survey process will help focus their interest, attention, and concern. toll-fre- I Senior Citizen Nstvs What with UBIC just over tad the Duchesne ' County Fair coming next week, this week is 8 time for w recuperation.

Although the Duchesne bingo players have cancelled their bingo for August because everyone is so busy and on vacation, the Altamont bingo players are meeting every Monday in t. By Paula O. Bril Another week,, another project. The UBIC was very successful this year. Those involved should be very pleased at the results of this year's celebration. I guess one way to measure the success of the events is to count the numbers of people. Another might be how busy the stands which sold food, etc., were. The Chamber stand was super busy, as was the Socialette stand. The Ute Tribe stand had its share of business from what I could see between customers. For those of you who dont know, the profit from these stands is split with the UBIC, half and half. Just one of the ways of financing the UBIC. Enough cannot be said for those dedicated individuals who made this celebration possible and entertaining and enjoyable. I hope that those of you who did attend the UBIC and enjoyed it will thank Dr. Varnell Bench and his committee for theirwork. I would like to issue a challenge to those who never become Involved in community activities to do so and help make these events possible. The volunteer is becoming extinct Less people are willing' to give their time for the community. We cannot let this happen. Volunteerism is the very foundation upon which our country was founded. Hie other project is the State Fair booth for Duchesne County. The Chamber is in charge of this booth for 1978. Anyone having any suggestions or who would like to become involved in putting it together, please contact me. I need help as well ss ideas. August 17, is our next Chamber of Commerce meeting. Our program will be the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce goodwill ambassador group the Dynamites." Join us at noon for lunch and later in the day for golf. For those who helped in the UBIC stand and worked on the float.. THANKS. Because of the dedication of a FEW persons we were able to keep the stand open and won' first place on our float in the parade. I know you always run into problems when you mention names for fear of missing someone, but I am going to mention a few. Float chairman, Morris Casper-son- ; Jay Beard, Chuck Brunnert, Fred Brown, Becky Neilsen, Cheryl McMul-UAllison Bell, Con Bell, Morris Jenkins, Norman Kitchen, Lawrell Jensen, John Gale, Ellen Rawlings, Mrs. Varnell Bench, Clarin Ashby, and the young gals (about aix of them) who helped in the stand when we had no one else. I appreciate my husband Con, wbo helped haul things around and deliver after the festivities were over. Thanks. And thanks to those I might not have mentioned. It takes cooperation and dedication for these events to be successful Chamber Challenge: Become more involved in your community.. .Ask what you can do and then do it Typical of the three class reunions that for were held past Union students over the weekend, was this group of the class of 1953.
