Wateree, Fourth quarter earnings were $.31 per share before the s compared to $ 18 earned the same quarter in n write-down- 1976. The Wateree, SC., plant was in the early stages of construction when work was stopped in 1975, owing to the fibers market decline. Construction was never resumed. The Snowden, Va., plant has produced lightweight aggregate for the building industry, but has not operated at full capacity for several years. Hercules earned $1.19 per share for the first nine months of 1977 earnings in the range of $1.50 per share, exhad been expected for the year. cluding any The company reported $1.78 in operating earnings for 1976, plus $ 66 in nonrecurring gains from the sale of assets. Hercules had anticipated somewhat reduced earnings in 1977 because of establishing new business efforts and plants in Europe and Canada, and because of a decline in the company's fiber intermediate business. Losses from the European and Canadian new business efforts resulted in a $.56 per share cost in 1977 compared to $.23 in 1976. Of this $.79 total, $.26 resulted from the companys inability to tax effect all of these losses. This latter amount will be recoverable in future years as these operations become profitable. In these two areas, plant operating rates were up at years end and sales prices of polypropylene seemed to be firming. freestyle and freestyle; Vince the 500 Swim, 200 Election Polling Place 1 - 1202, 1204, 1206, 1222; 5975 W 3500 2 3030 S. 2700 W.

Hansen Visitors to Nevada are familiar with the story, often from first hand observation, of the person who feeds a slot machine quarter after quarter then finally gives up in disgust. A few seconds later along comes another person, puts in one quarter, and bang, hits the jackpot. West valley residents often see themselves in the role of the guy feeding the slot machine. Weve spent years paying our county taxes, then wondered why the east side of the county seemed to have more services, better streets, and more elected officials than we do. Some of our number are ready to call it quits and just give up on the County. Proponents of incorporation are quitting too soon. i Thetide has turned. The West Valley is just beginning tQ get our fair share: Until recent years more highway fnqney went to the east side because a mile of highway there served far more people than the same amount of highway here have. There were more people on the east side than the west so, naturally, the east side was contributing more tax dollars for services than we were and they expected and got the biggest share of tax dollars back in the form of services. Now the population is moving west. The east side already has their streets, lights, parks and services, but they still have to pay taxes. Now its their turn to help us. The last couple of years County services have seen a westward movement. Roads are finally scheduled to be widened, unsafe narrow bridges are being replaced, two new fire stations have been built and three more are planned by 1981, crime prevention programs have been introduced, another justice of the peace added, parks are being built and upgraded, two west Valley residents are on the Planning and Zoning Board, a West Valley woman heads the Public Service Commission (state, not County), the Granger Library has become a major media center, and nearly all social services are now available locally to west valley residents at the Family Life Center. The newest, most totally equipped paramedic unit is on 4100 South. It would be foolish to become a city now, thus abandoning the services and programs weve been paying for for so long and are finally beginning to receive. If we become a city well have to buy so many things we now own as part of the County all over again. If we become a city the east side of the County will no longer be able to help us get the roads, bridges, fire stations and police protection we need. The Utah Supreme Court decision on double taxation will force us to foot the entire bill ourselves. Our police protection cost alone will double because we are only 10 percent of the County, but we receive slightly more than 20 percent of the Sheriff's Department's time and money. Even though propenents of incorporation keep revising their figures upward, money is supposedly not the major reason they desire incorporation. (At first Hank Price quoted the cost in additional taxes at 10 mills or approximately $48, then he spoke of a stand off around 15 or 16 mills, now he refers to $100 or approximately 21 mills as the cost of running the new city.) A more responsive government which is more accessable to the people is supposed to be the major reason for seeking incorporation. We've never found any Salt Lake County office or department inaccessable to us. We're not singing the Countys praises, we have plenty of complaints there ourselves, but being inaccessable is not one of them. We also question whether six Granger men will be any more accessable and representative of Hunter and Academy Park than the present set up. (Granger residents outnumber Hunter The threat of annexation of Salt Lake City is being used as a scare tactic to frighten those opposed to metropolitan government into voting for incorporation. Being gobbled up by Salt Lake City is impossible for quite some time. The County has protected our interests there by declaring a moratorium on annexation until the voters have an opportunity to decide the future of the unincorporated area. Whether we vote yes or no on incorporation we still must vote for a mayor and five councilmen. In the three weeks since the candidates were announced there hasn't been enough time for citizens to really get to know the candidates. Most people will have to vote for strangers or write in names. There wont be enough candidates on the ballot to even fill all the slots should they all be elected. That is a poor way to begin a new government. We urge all registered voters to vote and spend as much time as possible trying to meet the candidates. If you vote no and you feel you cannot support any of the candidates, write in the name of a respected community leader you feel you could support. Dont throw away your vote on nonsense names. This is it. Do we walk away and try a bigger gamble or are w e going to stick around to collect our share? Tuesday we decide at the polls. Those who dont vote will be the real losers. They won't have the right to cheer or complain. Winning Mill be great, losing will be something, but not playing the game isnt anything. ). property or call: $an Seuri owner: Ogden oreo 8251666 Also appreciate the way you always attend our town sons who vandalized our - Home 467-701Office 262-3313300 S. 3 E., Salt lake City just Valley View News.

Only seven per cent of those parents are but 10 2 per cent of their 2,344 children favor their left hands. The people who made that study indicated that parents no longer are pushing their children toward Thats Its good because good. other researchers have shown theres a relationship between stuttering and children required to be when their natural tendencies are toward right-hander- s, One problem for southpaws, as are sometimes called, is that some school desks are built with arm rests on the right side. This means that when a d student sits at the desk, he or she has no arm rest. Writing that way is tiring, and the position probably affects penmanship. Some schools are ordering some desks with arm rests on the left side. For centuries, persons have been victimized by superstition. They are referred to as sinistrals, which is related to word sinister. has been considered by some to bring bad luck. It didnt bring bad luck to Harry S. Truman. He was elected President of the United States. President Gerald Ford was also a lefty. So were Babe Ruth, Picasso, Benjamin Franklin and Michelangelo. The word gauche, meaning clumsy or lacking social grace, is French for left. A compliment really amounts to an insult. Despite all the kidding, the unfounded belief- - out and the difficulties of living in a world, this 10 per cent minority of our children proves time after time that from its ranks come some of the most skilled, talented, bright and accomplished persons in the world. d d rig:,t-hande- d |
