CONSOLIDATION I don't know whether to be pleased or displeased, insulted or comp.imented by some of the remarks re-marks made recently to me on con-' con-' solidation of Millard School District's- elementary schools. know what I'd tell them? I'd tell them that I thought they should use the per capita costs of each elementary el-ementary school as the ONLY criterion cri-terion for consolidation. In other words, those schools that are costing the district the most money to operate should be consolidated first, in my opinion. Figures were published last week in an article on the P-TA meeting in Sutherland showing that Garrison, Gar-rison, Leamington and Sutherland schools fall into this category on this side of the county. The figures referred to above are from the latest lat-est school audit. On the east side of the county, the most expensive schools to operate oper-ate are Meadow, Holden and Sci-pio. Sci-pio.

Dr. Norman C. Williams, Mining and Exploration Division Director and Kenneth Poulsen, Manager of the Salt Lake Division of The Brush Beryllium Co. met with the Millard Board of Education, Wed. Jan. 12 at its regular meeting. The meeting meet-ing was held at the Hinckley Elementary El-ementary School. An invitation to Dr. Williams had been extended by Supt. Talmage Tavlnr spvprfll wppk ncrn stint j Taylor felt that the proposed bery llium mill could have quite an im pact on the educational program of Millard School District. Dr. Williams gave a brief review of the beryllium industry from the 1920's to the present date. He said that the industry had enjoyed a healthy growth and will continue to enjoy that healthy growth. The industry received a great impetus during World War Two as berylli um was used in the atomic bomb research program. In later years, its military uses have declined but the metal has known its greatest growth in industrial uses, Dr. Williams Wil-liams said. "I feel more optimistic today than even a month ago," he said. He explained that at present the metal is used in refrigerators, auto mobiles, electric switches, in the field of electronics and others. 15 to 20 new industrial experiments are being conducted now. The fu ture growth of the beryllium in dustry can depend largely upon the outcome of such experiments. The ore at the Topaz Mountain area requires that a mill be locat ed near the source of supply, Dr. Williams said, and the construction date could be within two or three years. "I know that I've been saying say-ing two or three years for five years now," he laughed, "however, there is no doubt but that the mill communities, ownership of lands involved, enter into the final selection, se-lection, he said. He refused to elaborate el-aborate on the five sites nor would he give any hint as to their probable prob-able location. He said that the plans for a mill are completed and it will be a multi-million dollar construction. Completion Com-pletion will require seven to nine months and the structure will be readily expandable. It will employ 75 to 125 persons exclusive of the miners. Asked by one of the board mem bers if a mill town would - spring up around or near the mill which could possibly mean providing bus transportation for students by the district, Dr. Williams said "no." Persons employed at the mill would reside in communities already es tablished. He continued that he was freqently contacted by home builders from Salt Lake, Provo and other areas requesting information on the site and date of construction construc-tion of the mill. Information imparted by Dr. Williams Wil-liams at the meeting will be used by the board in reaching decisions on consolidation, the big issue facing fac-ing Millard School District today. A.

STATEMENT OF POLICY AFFIRMING THE PRINCIPLE OF SEPARAT ON OF THE AFFAIRS OF CHURCH AND STATE Firsroff, I want to tell you that, under my administration, the meetings meet-ings of the Delta City Council are not going to be opened with prayer. I am svre that each one of us holds his or her own ideals and convictions and principles in this matter of prayer, and I uphold the right of every one to follow his own conscience in it. But our City Government is not a division or a part of any religious organization whatsoever. It is a unit of the civil government of the United States. And it is my policy to respect the principle, laid down by the Found ers, of separation of the affairs of Church and State. To me, this is a very vital principle, indeed, and to its observance we may attribute the remarkable progress our nation has made since the time of its inception. in-ception. The Founders went to great lengths to establish this principle firmly in the basic law. It appears in the Constitution in paragraph three, Article VI, which declares: "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members Mem-bers of the several State Legislatures, Legisla-tures, and all executive and judicial judi-cial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, Affir-mation, to support this Constitution; Constitu-tion; but no religious test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States". And, as if that were not enough, the First Amendment, which is the first provision in what has come to be known as the Bill of Rights, says this: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging freedom free-dom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of Grievances". Griev-ances". I stand with those who hold that this means two things. First, that the government shall not dominate or interfere in the conduct or policies pol-icies of any religious organization which free people may organize or join of their own free will; and, second, that no religious organization organiza-tion shall dominate or interfere in the conduct of the government. Government and religion are two separate and distinct entities, and their functions must be kept apart, and a mixture, or fusion of the two would be disastrous to the concept con-cept of human freedom even if it could be made legal. To the best of my knowledge, there are four religious denominations denomina-tions and one fraternal group which maintain establishments in this City. In my view, as mayor of the City, they all stand equal under the law. I have no wish to dominate or interfere in the affairs af-fairs of any of them. And I will never approve any attempt at dom ination of the City Government by any of them. And so, since prayer is a manifestation of religious belief, be-lief, implying some degree of religious re-ligious domination of the human mind, we are going to refrain from uttering it at these meetings. As I view it, religious belief is strictly a matter of personal acceptance, ac-ceptance, and prayer a very sacred, personal matter. Group prayer is proper only when engaged in by several people of similar religious belief who have gathered together voluntarily for that purpose. It is not proper when spoken to a "captive" "cap-tive" audience, which may hold people to whom it is objectionable. This City Council cannot be properly proper-ly regarded as a religious gathering. gather-ing. This statement of policy is done at Delta. Utah, this 10th day of January, 1966. Richard S. Morrison, Mayor Following Mr. Morrison's statement state-ment Councilmen seemingly ac-quiesed ac-quiesed and the meeting got underway. under-way. A general discussion on appointments appoint-ments to various departments wa held and the following decisions were reached. Councilman Price: Police Dept., Fire Dept., Planning and Zoning, Dag Licenses and Traffic Control. Councilman Gardner: Parks, Ros Garden, Weed Control, and Swimming Swim-ming Pool. Councilman Barben: Streets, Lighting, Airport, Sidewalks, Building Build-ing Permits and City Dump. Councilman Hardy: Sewer, Health, Justice of Peace, Culinary and "rrigation Water. Councilman Ashby: Business Licenses, City Property, Publicity, Finance, Library and Insurance. Councilman Hardy moved to accept ac-cept the assignments as outlined by Mayor Morrison and his motion passed unanimously. Appointed by Mayor Morrison and approved bv Council to fill the same positions that were held during dur-ing tiie previous administration were Recorder Madge Johnson, Attorney At-torney Eldon Eliason, Treasurer Wayne Sorensen, Chief of Police Tony Callister and Justice of Peace Emil Pearson. These appointments are for two years. Rehired as Supt. of Delta was Wells Wood, Hilda Thompson as Librarian, Perry Winsor and Sherm Perkins as Street Employees and Roy Wood as policeman. Mayor Morrison led a discussion on the role of heads of departments and said that all instructions will go through proper channels. For an example, Supt. Wood will receive instructions from Council and pass them on to employees working in his dept. Council approved Mayor Morrison's statement in this area. Mayor reiterated his campaign ministration would be to acquire the school property on Delta Main Street to convert into a public park. He appointed Councilman Ashby and Councilman Gardner to work with him on this project. Councilman Council-man Ashby has done quite a lot of research into this matter during recent months and his appointment to this committee was a natural. Councilman Gardner appointed in charge of Parks, will work diligently diligent-ly with Mayor Morrison and Councilman Coun-cilman Ashby on this project. The committee has the approval of the full council. Councilman Hardy was requested by Mayor Morrison to make arrangements ar-rangements for Mr. Lee Wankier, County Supervisor of Farmers Home Administration, to meet with council at its Jan. 25 meeting to explain grants which are available to assist small cities with sewer treatment plant rehabilitation. Mayor Morrison paid Delta Fire Dept. a tribute for its outstanding work in fire fighting and fire control. con-trol. It was reported by Mayor Morrison Mor-rison that he had received two applications ap-plications for the position of "Life Guard" at the Municipal Swimming Pool for the 1966 summer.
