Show 3 Bui 9 Jl&ai& Bv STEVE WILLIAMS Dunno whether we like Ted Fife too well or not. Ted's supervisor for the Utah State Road Commission, and this week he spoiled a good story for us by paying a fine in Judge Koch's court. Seems for some reason or other Mr. Fife parked his car on Mil-ford's Mil-ford's Main Street with the tail-. tail-. end in the red zone and the front end slicking out. And the ticket a city marshal wrote read: "Utah Road Commission violation, Improper Im-proper parking (etc.) obstructing traffic." Max Baxter insisting on taking the ticket, and Mayor Ray Kizer got ahold of it a couple of days later, and Ray likes the Road Commission so much that he went over ot Judge Koch's to personally pay the $5 fine but Ted Fife had already been there and paid it. Dunno whether the cop oughta get posies for ticketing an improperly im-properly parked car no matter if it did belong to the State Road Commission, or Kizer for rushing over to pay the fine (not even Hiz-zoner Hiz-zoner the Mayor "fixes" tickets in Milford), or Fife oughta have a bouquet for quietly paying a fine, when he was wrong, so we'll just give 'em all three a Beaver County Coun-ty News pat on the back. Wcs Bolton, Milford's most ardent ar-dent wildlife conservationist, is also getting interested in youth conservation, and called our attention atten-tion to a bill in the U S Senate which would establish a Youth Conservation Corps similar to the depression time Civilian Conservation Conserva-tion Corps. Strongest opposition, Wes says, is coming from the 'economy bloc' and cost is estimated at $125 mil-' mil-' lion the first year, $250 million the second year, and $375 million each year afterward. "They balk at spending $375 million to offer wholesome work, recreation and training for our youth, and at the same time made vast forward strides in range and watershed conservation," Wes says. "Yet this is only a drop in the bucket to the billions they're okeh-ing okeh-ing for giveaways under the guise of 'foreign aid.' True, Wes; too true! . |
