Animals have been our companions and helpmates for centuries. Pets enrich the lives of their owners and owners need to recognize their responsibility to provide food, shelter and health care and to obey local animal control ordinances. or-dinances. Children should be taught to be kind to animals in their care, feeding and attitude about them. Children learn responsibility from taking care of their pets. They also learn love and companionship. Senior citizens have come to value the companionship of animals. Animals make them feel safe and secure in their homes and give them love also. It has also been proven that mentally and physically impaired children and adults also benefit from contact with animals. Pets mean a great deal to a lot of people, but there are also those who have pets and don't care for them. Pet week is held to help us realize that if we keep pets then we should take care of them. Give your pets the care that they need and they will return that affection. Last word on budget will come June 30 Talking about the "final woroV" given in an article written by Connie Child, we quote, "to begin the '86-87 budget Springville will be looking at a $250,000 deficit in the general government operation funds." In talking with Mayor Creer, this reporter was told that this is a figure to conservatively start from in working out next year's budget and does not necessarily represent what the city will be looking at come June 30 when the new budget actually starts. Also this figure does not take into account any money , which may or will be transferred over from the utility accounts ac-counts or which may show up in land sales or unused revenues from the capital improvement budgets, interest from bond money or other revenues which could be counted in this year's budget and not next year's, or from last year's surplus. The city is a big business. Things do not happen as those making the budget think they will, both on the spending spend-ing side or the money coming-in side. We feel that Mayor Haymond and his council did the best they could with the information they had at the time and that Mayor Creer and his council will continue on in this tradition. Also, the best information we can get from any of the city's officials, accountants or auditors, say that they do not feel that the city is in deep trouble at this time, but to be careful, conservative and run a tight ship. Yes, there is a deficit in the budget, but there was a surplus last year and how this fits in with the above quoted $250,000 deficit and the planned deficit this year is yet to be figured out.

Continued from page 1 ahead with the election campaign. I still feel very strongly that the decision at that time was reasonable. Since that time there have been two significant changes in my personal and professional life. Individually these changes may not 'have been so serious, but together they will place an additional demand on my time and necessitate my resignation. I appreciate the support of those citizens who elected me. The past four months have been a learning experience in which I have done my best to serve our community. I can continue to serve as co-chairman of the Art City Days committee if the Mayor and council so desire. I want the community to know that I have confidence in Mayor Creer and that my resignation is in no way the result of any disagreement with ' his policies or decisions. In fact, my greatest regret is that I cannot continue to give him the same level of support by serving in his administration. ad-ministration. I urge the community to continue to give Mayor Creer and the Council its support. Again I regret not being able to continue to serve on the council, but I'm sure most citizens will understand un-derstand when I say that the decision is in the best interest of my family. Michael W. Farrer Vote 'yes' for leeway Letter to the editor: Several articles and letters have already given data and facts as to "why" the voted leeway should be supported. In summary some of the facts are: 1 . Utah ranks the lowest in amount of money spent per child for his-her education. 2. Nebo District ranks very low in the forty districts in the state of Utah for money spent per pupil. 3. Utah ranks highest in the nation in class loads. 4. Nebo ranks eight in the state in class loads. The voted leeway needs to be passed in order to improve education in the Nebo School District. This money will be used only in our district. If the voted leeway passes it will provide Nebo School District with: 1. Additional funds of approximately ap-proximately $360,000 and the State of Utah will provide additional money of $345,000. 2. Staying competitive in continuing con-tinuing to attract and keep the best available personnel. 3. Adquate textbooks, supplies and lab materials. 4. Maintaining and or improving the number of students per teacher. 5. Paying for increased utility costs. As the teacher vice-president this year on the city PTA council and also as a teacher, parent and citizen, I would urge you to check the facts, study them carefully and go to the polls and vote for the voted leeway on May 13. Dorothy Clark 316 E. 700 S. Springville Invitation to forum Upen Letter: With the .many news articles that have been written this past month on the leeway issue, I hope you have taken the opportunity to read and study the proposal for the Nebo voted leeway election that will be held on Tuesday, May 13th. This evening, Wednesday, May 7th, at 7:30 p.m., the Springville-Mapleton Springville-Mapleton Council PTA will hold an open forum at the Springville Jr. High School. A panel discussion will be held with a PTA representative, local board member, principal and a district administrator to discuss the voted leeway and answer questions from the floor. I would like to extend a special invitation to you to come and bring your questions and become familiar with the proposal. Our goal for the Council PTA this year has been to strengthen the relationship between the schools, family, and community. What better way could you show your support for our children than to go to the polls on May 13th and vote YES. Kids are people under construction. "Be a Student Concerned Community."

After being warmly welcomed and passing security at this desert camp of some 500 weary marchers, I bedded my sleeping bag outside their orderly tents beneath a star-studded star-studded sky and listened carefully for any sounds of discontent or misconduct - none of which I heard, not even a gentle snore. All seemed to be at peace with themselves and the world. I was awakened early by the motors of semi-trucks that were moving the mobile cook station to the next camp site at Cisco, Utah. All was quiet again until dawn when I heard the brief cry of a baby. Soon the camp was alive with hundreds of people preparing to leave for a detour to Salt Lake City. After performing their rotating morning tasks of preparing meals and breaking camp, these disciplined people from all walks of life stood in long lines for a pre-prepared beak-fast beak-fast and assignments to be tran - K Y -' 11 U Stye prutguUle 2teralii COMMENT PAGE with many individuals, humane societies, and other organizations everyday to educate people of all ages about responsible pet ownership; owner-ship; and WHEREAS, the quality of life for people and pets is preserved and improved when a true spirit of kindness towards animals prevails: NOW, THEREFORE, I, Norman H.

Norman H. Bangerter Governor sported northward. Randomly I chose three men that I volunteered to transport to Salt Lake by way of Springville. All were highly educated gentlemen - one retired science teacher from Cleveland, Ohio, and two young fellows who turned out to be budding photographers and art lovers. We had a great time exchanging thoughts and enjoying the scenery through the small towns as we headed for Springville. They admiringly ad-miringly toured our art gallery and marvelled at the beauty of our town. I participated with them at a pleasant peace rally, however free of civic leaders and politicians, at the State Capitol Building.' The beautiful day was filled with the sounds of inspiring talks that made me reflect upon the contrasts and similarities of my own Mormon ancestors crossing these plains nearly 150 years ago in search of peace and religious freedom. Acombo of young children, sang these songs of freedom, peace and preservation. Afterward all joined hands that circled the expansive Capitol grounds. At its center stood Cyrus Dallin's heroic size bronze figure of the Chief Massasoit carrying his peace pipe.
