It was twenty minutes past closing clos-ing time as I walked through the swinging door of the Delmart saying say-ing a goodnight to the friendly employer- and his employees. Although I had taken these precious minutes from them, I had been treated courteously with the kindest consideration. con-sideration. And as I wandered down the sidewalk of my home town, a spark of gratitude began to grow within me. How many times we, the members mem-bers of this community, have been given special services from our local lo-cal merchants. I remember the day my five-year old knocked a carton of eggs from my shopping basket not only did Mayor ChurcM the merchant) rush to my aid to help with the disaster, but he gave me a new fresh dozen saying, "No extra ex-tra charge." And the time my daughter bought a new pair ot shoes from Reed Wood and left her socks. When we returned to get them they couldn't 'be found but Reed insisted that he replace them with a new pair. When unexpected company arrives ar-rives for the weekend, it's nice to know that Orvil Jeffery willingly opens the store so we can get the frozen steaks from the locker. It sure gives one a good feeling to load a sack of doughnuts and hear the clerk say "How many?" Perhaps Per-haps we take this privilege for granted but nevertheless when one is so trusted, he desires to remain honest. I hardly dare mention the morning morn-ing we got Mr. Fullmer up at 3:00 o'clock in the morning to repair the baler so we could keep baling. This was almost asking too much but it represents the service one one gets from the Reed Turner Store. Well, there was the time O. V. Kelly came out home and welded a unit in the early dawn so there would be no delay. Wayne Sorenson, of Delta Auto Supply, Is also a devoted servant to helping when the occasion arises. We found that out at four o'clock one morning. morn-ing. Eldon Sorenson has been called on after closing hours to open up at the Cleaners in order that we might get the clean clothes out for an unexpected trip. Max Robison drove a long distance dis-tance out of his way to deliver an important message for me. And now I'm remembering the day Rochelle did Kathleen's hair for her wedding. As Kathleen attempted attempt-ed to pay her she said,. "No charge Kathleen." "This is your special day." . There seems to be no end to the nice things people do around us, for as my pen flows my heart remembers! re-members! This is just a sample of everyday living in my hometown. Thanks to the Delmart staff who I through their kindness inspired me Into these moments or meditation and caused me to more fully appreciate ap-preciate those who so sincerely serve us! I think our home town is tops. Aren't we lucky? Orvetta Nickle (((( ))))) Development of Millard County could result in benefits to all if its natural resources were known throughout the U. S. A. Scarcely a day has passed, during some three months, that I have not learned something new about this county. Bees, for instance, and their re lation to seed crops. How many readers can estimate the tons of honey shipped from the Delta area in one season? When I was here in 1925, we hauled ore and concentrates from Death Canyon, through a barren desert, to our loading station at Sugarville. Now fine farms cover much of that region and what is of more significance Is available water in the "underground" lake existing under the remaining barren bar-ren land. While the Simpson and Sheep Rock Mountains are not in Millard County, their vast mineral and metal me-tal storehouse has scarcely been "scratched," and the natural route to markets Is through much of Millard Mil-lard County. These mountains support fine stands of timber and beef steaks on the hoof that cannot be surpassed even-in the "West" where choice beef is a common part of the daily menu. Pine-nuts, arrowheads, Indian "writings" and the Big Stone Face are only a few of the riches scattered scat-tered all around Delta. Even the "desert" teems with wildlife, large and small! The demand for "Rock Hound" collections exceed, by far, the supply. There is cash money in them thar Injun mounds. But who knows where to buy it? A few weeks ago, I met a party of tourists "casing" the plaque in the high school grounds. One mam told me that he would break-off some of the beautiful stones to take home if he thought the cops wasn't watching. Glenn A. Pritchett (((( ))))) Dear Editor: Since the letter written to you three weeks ago, I have had a number of persons in to see me or persons who have telephoned, regarding re-garding the school issue. They each seem to have a d.'fferent opinion on what action should be taken. A number of new committees are being formed because people feel that their thinking is not being executed into action by the school board. Everyone blames the Superinten dent for the fact that we don't have what we want or what we think we need, yet, no one has in dicated any desire to back up their statements with letters or a visit to the school board, in order to Senate Subcommittee Approves Sen. Bennett's Utah Speed-Up Request WASHINGTON The Senate Public Pub-lic Works Appropriations Subcommittee Subcom-mittee Monday morning approved in part a request'by Senator Wallace Wal-lace F. Bennett, (R-Utah), for a speed-up in certain phases of the Central Utah Project. The Subcommittee approved $200,000 for the Provo River features feat-ures of the project, including en- The Sevier studies will include land classification and related field work, which will.be initiated this year. The Subcommittee also approved reprograming of $30,000 in general Investigation funds (not from Upper Up-per Colorado River Project funds) for the Ouray Project. Senator Bennett Ben-nett also had testified on this pro ject earlier in the year requesting gineering studies on the Keetley appropriations or reprograming of aiiu ijulo xicjci,viia auu ciuaigc T.ne $ijU UtX) meni 01 ueei vree. in an appearance appear-ance before the committee, Senator Bennett had requested $300,000 for this purpose. In addition, the Committee approved ap-proved $50,000 to begin studies for extension of the Central Utah Project Pro-ject south Into the Sevier River Basin. This project originally had not been scheduled until the ultimate ulti-mate phase of the Upper Colorado Project. "These decisions by the Subcom mittee are indeed gratifying, although al-though they still must be approved by the full committee and then by both Houses of Congress," Senator Bennett said. "The Provo River Project study was not scheduled for completion until 1966. The decision deci-sion to speed work on the project, if approved, will provide a new water supply for the Heber and Francis areas much earlier." State Receives $4,610,735.59 Check From Bureau of Land Management Utah's Governor George D. Clyde Friday morning received a $4,610,-735.59 $4,610,-735.59 check from R. D. Nielson, Utah State Director for the U. S. Bureau of Land Management. The U. S. Treasury check was for the State's share of revenues between Jan. 1 and June 30, 1962, under provisions of the Mineral Leasing Act, and the State's share of re-ce re-ce pts from grazing fees, timber sales and public land sales for the fiscal year from July 1, 1961, to June 30, 1962. Utah was oen of 27 states which received more than $27,898,000 in resource receipts from federal lands. This was the state's share of resource development earnings, which were the largest in BLM's history, according to word received from Secretary of the Interior Stewart Stew-art L. Udall. The bulk of the payment to Utah was $4,579,245.78 from bonuses, rentals and royalties from federal mineral leases (including oil and gas). This represents 37 H of total to-tal receipts for the six-month period, per-iod, as provided in the Mineral Leasing Act. Earlier this year Utah received a check for $1,239,718.09 for the State's share of mineral leases during dur-ing the first half of the 1962 fiscal year. The remaining $31,489.81 of Thursday's check was for the State's share of revenues from activities ac-tivities other than mineral leasing, including receipts for grazing on public lands, timher sales and public pub-lic land sales. Utah's was the fourth largest check delivered to the 27 states. Wyoming received $7,303,020.07; New Mexico, $5,360,856.09; Alaska, $5,168,697.71; Utah, $4,610,735.59. Other receipts by intermountain states were Arizona, $195,005.44; Colorado, $1,819,571.13; Idaho, $74,-369.14; $74,-369.14; Montana, $1,127,360.77, and Nevada, $230,085.12.

I am offering three suggestions for a plan of action. All have been mentioned by various people of the area. PLAN NO. 1 To let things stand as is, namely, continue to "Face lift" the outside of the tfuildings, even though the inside crumbles away. Continue to hold classes as follows: DHS Bookkeeping in the Hot Lunch room amid the rattle o dishes; Jr. High Chorus In the hot lunch room; three classes (90 stu dents). History Health and Hygene, Sociallogy, under Coach Applegate, in the basement of the Seminary building; and basketball in a health hazard such as now exists in the- Palomar. PLAN NO. 2 Remodel or rebuild or add on to, the present facilities, Delta High, Delta Junior High, Hoi den Elementary, Hinckley Elemen tary, Lynn-Leamington-Oak City, etc., and hope that after some few years the State does not withdraw its aid to special schools such as some of these are. PLAN NO. 3 Establish a plan and work toward the complete consolidation con-solidation of the District. This would mean just two schools In each of the grades, elementary, Jr. High, and High, on both sides of the county. Again, we can not ex pect the State to continue for ever in aid to costly special schools. This is h'ghly controversial and 1 would suggest that before any one gets hot under the collar, he analyze ana-lyze the problems involved, from all angles. Our students are en titled to the best we can give, BUT ARE WE GIVING OUR BEST? The decision for our schools is not up to the school board or the Superintendent. BUT THE DECISION DECI-SION IS UP TO YOU. What are schools will be, is en tirely what we want and what they are is what we deserve.
