What is your reaction to the Carter Administration Ad-ministration establishing normal diplomatic - relations with the People's Republic of China? Eileen Movit I feel the move had to come. Ever since Mao's death China's leaders have been opening up the country, and the U.S. should take advantage of the new attitude. Taiwan shouldn't have to lean on the U.S. forever and the Taiwanese will probably be able to overcome any difficulties incurred by Carter's decision. Aaron Kolkey I think it's about time we recognized China. However, our break with Taiwan was harsh. I just hope we don't sever all economic ties with the Taiwanese because that would put a lot of Americans out of work. Mike Walsten Both the U.S. and China have clung to anachronistic attitudes for too long. The establishment of diplomatic relations is a step into the real world. Daryl Garnas I think Carter should have consulted con-sulted first with other concerned parties, such as the U.S. Congress and Taiwan. It was unfair to drop Taiwan after supporting that country for so long. Initially, I think the move will hurt our economy. Murray Francis Establishing diplomatic relations with China was just facing reality. Unless there is contact between nations there can't be any mutual understanding. Now the groundwork has been laid so ,that communication com-munication between the peoples of the U.S. and China can begin. Wayne Jespersen We should have established diplomatic relations with China but not in the way that we did. Carter was a bit abrupt and underhanded un-derhanded with Taiwan. I think that has hurt U.S. credibility. Aaron Kolkey P. yy mmm i " , : t. Daryl Garnas Wayne Jespersen COMMUNITY EDUCATION Community education classes in shop, children's gymnastics and gourmet cooking will begin the third week in Jan.

PUBLIC HEARING The City Council has been asked to meet to consider the following amendment to the Land Management Code: Chapter IV, General Commercial District, Section 3, "Conditional Uses" would include: HotelApartments. A Public Hearing is scheduled for review of this proposal by the City Council and the interested in-terested public on January 4, 1979, at 7:00 p.m. in the Prospector Square Conference Center. SOCIAL SECURITY RATES Effective January 1, 1979 the amount to be withheld from employees pay checks for social security tax (FICA) increases from 6.05 to 6.13. The maximum amount of earnings on which social security tax is to be withheld also increases, from $17,700 to $22,900. Employees should note that this increase is effective ef-fective with any payroll paid on January 1, 1979 or after, even if for amounts earned but unpaid to January 1. The Employers matching FICA tax also increases to 6.13 as of January 1, 1979. Sun Valley's Loss Is PC's Gain With their lack of sno, Sun Valley's loss is our gain, as Park City was invited Tuesday to host the North American Airline Ski Federation Airline Ski Week January 6 to 12. . Nearly 500 Interliners were, booked into Sun Valley for the four days of fun, skiing and racing, but the snow depths in Idaho leave something to be desired. After Af-ter Park City hosted a successful suc-cessful and good time event last year, the Interliners requested a repeat performance. perfor-mance. Generally, the Airline Ski Week alternates locations every year, with Park City booked for 1980. Since the move to Park City was made on such short notice, not all the Interliners expected at Sun Valley may arrive here, although resort officials are anticipating about 300 racers. "It will be nice to have them back," said resort assistant marketing manager Laura Thomas. "After the holiday rush, things in town are moving a little slower, and this will help fill up the vacant beds in town. It will bring a little more business to the restaurants, bars, lodges and shops." The airline's skiing employees em-ployees are scheduled for race practice and clinics Monday and Tuesday, January 8 and 9, with the Class A and B giant slalom races planned for Wednesday Wed-nesday and Thursday. Judging by last week's multitude of anxious skiers flooding the resort plaza, thousands are clamoring to fly the friendly and snowy skies of Park City. Parking Change Mon. A parking ban for the west side of Main Street will be enforced beginning Monday, January 8. In addition, a two-hour parking limit will be observed on the east side of Main Street from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily. The parking changes will be in effect on a trial basis until February 1. r lifers itebcl i for To Bob's Friends: Friends come, friends go; the loves men know are ever fleeting; In sound and smile a little while we read their kindly greeting; With warmth and cheer they linger near, the friends we fondly treasure; Then on a day they drift away, a loss no words can measure. This much we know -.friends come, friends go, as April's gladness passes, As sun and shade, in swift parade, paint changes on meadow grasses. And though we grieve to see them leave, in thought we still enfold them; In memory's net we keep them yet, and thus can ever hold them; They come, they go-these loves we know. Life's Tides are ever moving; But year on year, they still seem near so great the power of loving. Author Unknown I feel within me a strong desire to in some way express ex-press to you the love that Bobby had for Park City and the people with whom he lived, worked and skied last year. To Bob, Park City was excitement whether it was skiing Jupiter, having a beer at the Silver King Lodge or getting a poker game .together. To Bob, Park City was refreshingly different certainly a great contrast from the beach environment en-vironment where he grew up. I guess what I'd really like to say is that the pain of his passing is somehow eased when I think his last year was spent happily in Park City. Sue Hillman Savings And Loan 1 For 2 A temporary building to house a new Park Cy savings and loan institut was given conditional approval ap-proval by the Planning Commission December 27 but plans for a permanent structure did not fare as well. Summit Savings and Loan was given the go-ahead on a temporary building at its 1724 Park Avenue location (near Bumps Burgers) provided changes are made to the building's " facade-; Dean Berrett, president of the savings and loan company, told the commission the temporary structure would be used for less than a year. The commission next considered con-sidered Summit's plans for a permanent building and found them in violation of the city's setback requirements. The zoning ordinance does not require a front setback for commercial buildings except those fronting on state highways. Park Avenue is also U-224. Van Martin, of J.J. Johnson John-son and Associates, argued that the 20-ft. setback requirement was intended to allow for buffer strips between bet-ween commercial buildings and state highways but said this "is not feasible on Park Avenue." A sign tower, which is part of the plans, causes the violation but removal of the tower would cause the building to be "a box," commission chairman Bur-nis Bur-nis Watts told Martin. When it asked if the buildings and tower could be moved back from the street, Martin said traffic flow behind the structures struc-tures would be impeded. "We have to maintain the setback and we can't do that with the tower," Watts said. Martin said he would take the proposal to City Attorney Mike McCoy for his interpretation inter-pretation of the ordinance and the commission tabled the matter. Setbacks for the temporary tem-porary building were also less than those required but it was approved after City Planner David Preece informed in-formed the commission that McCoy had recommended that temporary buildings be exempted from the requirements. ' " ' ' ,SO .TJWitij v tP SD3 9X11 Groves Pleads Not Guilty Park City resident Bill Groves pleaded not guilty Tuesday to three counts of theft by deception at an arraignment in Coalville before new Third District Court Judge Bryant Croft. A trial has been set for January 17, at which time Judge Croft will hear, tesitimony from Groves and other Park City residents. The charges stem from complaints that Groves accepted ac-cepted sizeable deposits for the purchase and installation of hot tubs from two local residents. He allegedly fled to California after obtaining the money. Groves' attorney is Gilbert Athay, a defense lawyer for one of the convicted killers of the Hi-Fi murders case. Prosecuting attorney Terry Christiansen noted that the charges are each a second degree felony, punishable by one to fifteen years in the state prison. ro mt. CI nnfi EL nnji TWO (0 mm iat if I0X mm.
