Grade School Planned At its Jan. 4 meeting, the ParkCity School Board decided deci-ded to proceed with plans for a new elementary school. The new school has been talked tal-ked about for some time and the most pressing issue at present is where to establish the site.

"We're toying with the idea of moving toward Park West since the major portion of our student population is moving in that direction," he added. While property negotiations are underway, the board will study "educational specification" specific-ation" to determine whether instruction will be more open or more closed and to design construction to facilitate the projected learning environment. environ-ment.

Milt Fletcher of the Mountainland Moun-tainland Community Action Agency indicated that $147,498.18 had been spent in Summit County. Thirty-eight households were assisted and 80 percent of the households assisted were over 60 years old. Dr. Beth S. Jarman, . Executive Director of the Department of Community Affairs, said that even though the program was conceived as a one shot emergency program to aid poor people to survive the financial hardships as a result of the country's unusually cold weather last winter and the spiraling costs of energy, Congress is now considering another appropriation ap-propriation because of the crisis nature of the problem. "The problem is very real and we have to face the fact that a significant percentage of our population can no longer keep pace with the spiraling costs of essential energy required to heat their homes and prepare their daily meals," said Dr. Jar-man.
