Show i : Meal to stop In an effort to reduce thefts of books and reference materials from the county library, a new electronic security system has been installed. In the past, the library has lost numerous volumes of books that seem to mysteriously disappear from the library shelves and never reappear. reap-pear. Some of the most popular books that almost literally walk out of the library, are reference materials, books on witchcraft and animals. In some cases, certain books have been replaced not only once, but two and . three times at the library. Each year the cost to replace lost or stolen library materials increases, reducing the money alotted to the library budget for the purchase of new materials. Approval for the installation of the security system was given several years ago, but it was not feasible to indifference escalades cost of Red Fleet cleanup Cleanup costs of 7,800-gallon spill of diesel fuel into Red Fleet Reservoir Reser-voir July 12 were driven up eight to 10 times what they might have been by the trucking company's uncaring attitude at-titude to the problem, a state health aide told the Utah Water Pollution Control Committee Tuesday.

In the past the double exits and entrances en-trances of the library would have made the system impractical. Remodeling work which took place from mid-January to April paved the way for the installation of the new system. Entrances and exits to the library are now located outside of the check out area. The new system was installed by Check-Point and has been in place for just over a month. The system is one of the two major security systems used us-ed by libraries across the nation. All library materials have been coded with a special bar code number. Patrons who decide that they just don't have the time to check materials out or do not want to spend the time reading reference materials and decide to challenge the system are in for a surprise. Don Hilden, Department of Health environmental scientist whose specialty is oil spills, said investigation investiga-tion is continuing into the overturning overturn-ing of a oil truck owned by Dan Trease Trucking Co., Clearfield, about nine miles north of Vernal on State Road 191. The diesel fuel was spilled into Brush Creek, a tributary of Red Fleet Reservoir, where the creek goes under the highway. It took five days to completely cleanup the spill which polluted the northwest end of the reservoir. Mr. Hilden said it might have cost $15,000 to clean up the diesel fuel had r?m - .. i - 1 HUVANlTAf?:AN s3fd is t?ssccJ U Utf Matl fi, PU, t fcf e icfvce dyfirg her l.rfS T3fS Sf A5'e.

Beachs attract summer crowds mm If a book is not properly checked out, and a patron attempts to leave the library, a loud alarm will sound and the exit gate will automatically lock. The alarm can be heard throughout the library. The exit gate remains locked until reset by library personnel. The alarm has been set off a few times, but so far no patrons have been caught leaving the library without checking out first. Evan Baker, library director, said that for the most part response to the new system has been favorable, especially when patrons learn that it will help reduce thefts. Baker has requested that patrons make sure they use drop boxes when returning library materials instead of bringing the materials back into the library readingstack area. Returning the materials in the drop boxes will reduce the chance of the alarm accidentally being set- off. the trucker acted promptly. Because emergency response teams had to be called in after a delay of some 16 hours, the cost will be driven to over $100,000.
