They fell just short, as the Wendover Wildcats beat the Miners by three points in a see-saw battle that could have gone either way. The game started with both teams exchanging field goal for field goal and rebound for rebound enroute to to a very low scoring first quarter, which found the Wildcats ahead 9-8. , ' The second quarter was equally as thrilling. The Miners overcame a three point Wendover lead early to claim their own three point margin at the half 26-23. ... - The second half of the game looked like a duplicate of the first half. Neither team could penetrate the defense of the other and relied on their outside shooting. Randy Shepard and Rocky Brown (a freshman) supplied the punch for Wendover. The Miners relied on Frank Marcellin who came through brilliantly, as usual, to score 17 points. The game was in question all the way to the end. With -six seconds left Kelly Mackley had a chance to tie the game. The Miners were behind by three points and Mackley had a one and one o-pportunity o-pportunity at the foul line. The play sent in by Coach Stepan was for Kelly to make the first foul shot; then purposely miss the second, getting his own rebound and attempting a field goal. The first shot fell just short and . the score stayed the same, with the Miners losing 51-48. The series between the Wildcats and the Miners is now even, and the rubber match could take place in Kamas as the Region Nine Round Robin takes place March 8, 9 and 12.

Ut) was one of 35 who voted last week to sustain the' President's veto of the Public Works Employment Act of 1975. The bill would have provided six-billion dollars to create public service jobs. In explaining his opposition to the legislation, Senator Garn said that when the bill originality came before the Senate in July of 1975, he voted for it. At that time, he said, the country was in a deep recession with much higher unemployment than we now have.. "In the several months it has taken the legislation to get through the House and to the President's desk, our economic situation has improved im-proved considerably," Senator Garn said. "Our unemployment numbers are lower and the economy is on the uprswing. "Equally important is the fact that we are experiencing a $75-billion budget deficit and the six-billion dollars for the public service jobs would only have added to the deficit. The President's veto and the votes to sustain it were votes for fiscal responsibility. Furthermore, later figures show that the legislation ' would not have created - nearly as many jobs as its proponents said it would."

At the request of City V Recorder Bruce Decker, the Park City Council Thursday i night amended the city's bad check ordinance. The fine for writing the city a bum check , is now, $10. Before it was amended, the ordinance stated the penalty for bouncing a check to the city was twice the amount of the check.

There are currently several bills pending in the Senate which would give tax credits to businesses which hire new employees; not the investment in-vestment tax credit we hear so much about, but actually for hiring new employees. These bills would provide for much more rapid job creation, would guarantee the jobs because businesses couldn't get the tax credit unless they actually hired someone and they would make jobs in the private sector, paid for with private profits rather than taxpayers' tax-payers' dollars." Financial Ability Tests Opposed by MPSCO Z k j- FREE TO p THZFUaiC f?3 II I ST FEC3UARY25 thru FECRUARY29 The Mountain Plains Congress of Senior Organizations (MPSCO), an advocacy group representing affiliated senior organizations in six states, opposes the financial eligibility tests used in title 20 programs of the Social Security Act. Title 20 money is used to fund many direct vsemce programs,- suctmas nutntion and transportation, to older people. MPCSO director Renee' Brereton said "most senior citizens feel humiliated and degraded when they, are forced to submit to a financial eligibility test. They are the people who built this country and they have earned and deserve a life, of dignity. Many of these people are too proud to submit to such demeaning tests. It is terrible to see the benefits of these programs not reaching many of the people who are eligible and in great need."

Now he has retired, he has it: A home in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, complete com-plete with his own shoe repair re-pair operation in the basement. base-ment. Getting back to Conneaut Lake is a dream Mr. Matro-gran Matro-gran has nourished since he and his wife went there onr their honeymoon. The shoe repair business, well, he started in that in his early teens, always did t V Lm , . l. . ; enough on the side to remain . proficient and is eager to return re-turn to the leather work. The three Matrogran children chil-dren are now grown and away from home. Planning ahead to make his dreams come true, Mr. Matrogran purchased 1 2 acres of land at Conneaut Lake several years ago. The home is now built, the shoe repair equipment installed and Mr. Matrogan is busy getting the place in . shape. "When we first moved in there was mud everywhere," ev-erywhere," he said. "We've got some grass planted now." "When I retired last year," - he said, "I bought out two shoe repair shops. I have the . best equipment from the two places. Right now I'm doing just a little repairing. Also, I've made some orthopedic shoes. Nothing much now. I'm busy trying to get the house and grounds in shape. '. "About this spring or sum- ; mer, I'll start doing more shoe work. I haven't advertised adver-tised or anything yet, but the word has gotten around." Mr. Matrogran wants to V work with the leather, but he also wants to enjoy setting his own hours, leaving him- -,. self time free for his hobbies. "I like to hunt and fish," he told a writer for The National Na-tional Council on the Aging. "And when I was with the police I was always a top shooter. I plan to make my own target range and keep in practice , Mr. Matrogran has looked forward to retirement. "I retired re-tired a year early, when I was 64. I started to retire when I was 62, but there were some additional benefits bene-fits from the company com-' ing and so I stayed on. I don't regret it." From the way Mr. Matrogran Matro-gran talks, it sounds as if his plans are coming right along. He has his home in the land of his dreams and he will soon be able to spend as much time with his shoe making-repair work as he wants.
