Things are rounding into shape. The Senate passed a Key bill to require district court judges to hold healings in every county In the state every two years at least, to determine if a grand jury is necessary nec-essary to investigate the operations of county government. Other bills of the packet protect witnesses and in general make the procedure a fair one. A bill was passed to set up a peace officers training academy to train officers to do a better job of law enforcement. The Senate also passed a bill to require operators and passengers on motorcycles to wear helmets. Among bills passed of local interest in-terest by the Senate were: HB 99 -which was amended so there would be competative bidding on B and C road projects involving $25,000. I voted against this but the counties and cities of our area should be able to live with this - I thought we did faxly well to get it to $25,000. SB 6 - Which makes draft beer subject to sales tax and provides residents with use tax credit for sales tax paid in another state. The Fish and Game License bill passed the House. This will be pass ed by the Senate. There is some $S0O,000 in additional revenue for 1967-68 depending on the bill which gives a jump of $4 00 in the combined com-bined hunting and fishing license. I feel this bill should become law. Already the legislature has approv edea $250,000 deficit appropriation for the remainder of this biennium which is in the form of a loan.

There are many who feel a license raise In this department is unjustified. unjus-tified. It Is my opinion that in order to keep fish in our lakes and streams the raise is necessary. Hope most of you agree with me. I voted against this raise in my first session - then for it, thetime the governor vetoed the bill, and I still think we better pass it. We are working on the retirement retire-ment bill and will soon grind out the education bill. We must have six million school bonding money or our taxes will raise in many counties. Must keep our articles light so here is one about the man who went to the doctor about his rheumatism. rheu-matism. The doctor told him to take three aspirin and a sip of whiskey at night. A month later the doctor saw the patient's wife and inquired about her husband. The lady replied he was doing fine, only he was three weeks behind on his aspirin and three months ahead on his whisky.

Utah 84624 10c copy uown waun By INEZ RIDING SCHOOLS I was one of several west Millard Mil-lard residents who toured Delta Elementary and Delta High School Monday to see some of the school programs that have been enriched or initiated with federal funds. I came away greatly impressed. One of the most impressive things about the whole tour was the summation by Louise Bennett, Title One Director and Supt. Taylor. Tay-lor. Both were asked if controls on purchasing and manner of presenting pre-senting a new program came with the federal funds. Both assured the group that even though the aid was categorical, there were no controls. con-trols. A department that one might suspect would be controlled Is the library department. Miss Ruth Hansen looked utterly astounded as-tounded when I asked her. "Absolutely "Ab-solutely not", she said. She is not required to order anything other than what she considers is needed most in the library. This year the funds went to build up the record collection and new books, both fiction and non-fiction. The same was true in the Delta Elementary library according to Prin. David Church. The new overhead projectors looked like a valuable tool to all teachers. The projector lets a teacher tea-cher face his students as it projects pro-jects matter on a screen. To a great extent it is replacing the blackboard and in the words of Prin. Church "there are fewer spit balls thrown these days because the teacher is facing his students." READING "Orrin Porter Rockwell, Man of God, Son of Thunder" is the name of a book that I am now reading, Former Oak City matron Dies in Salt Lake Mrs. Esther Powell Anderson, 51, died Feb. 26 at her home in Salt Lake City.

It is one of the most fascinating books that I ve ever read and un doubtedly Mr. Schindler has a way of making history live for his read ers. What sort of man was Porter Rockwell? Mr. Schindler spent over 6 years in research answering that question. ques-tion. Giving him invaluable assistance assist-ance were Chad J. Flake and Donald Don-ald T. Schmidt, BYU Library; Dr. Everett L. Cooley, Director and his staff of the Utah Historical Society; Soci-ety; the staff of the LDS Church Historian's Office and countless researchers re-searchers at the Library of Congress Cong-ress and National Archives. Mr. Schindler has done a magnificent mag-nificent work in my opinion and I can hardly wait to get back to the book. Coincidentally, I recently read a copy of "The Trespassers", a novel by Hunter Ingram. The setting is Daviees County, Missouri. Mr. Ingram In-gram has done a lot of research, also, as many of the instances that he relates in his novel are histor ieal facts, according to "Man of God, Son of Thunder." Both books have been good and good for me to read. Ive only read one installment in Look's serialization of "Death of a President." I'm not quite ready to read it. Pres. Kennedy's death is still too real for me. But, I'm rath er glad that I read the one install ment that I did. It made me much more sympathetic to Pres. Johnson that I've ever been. I've got a lot of reading to catch up on. Leoyd Lovtll and I exchange books, magazines, etc. on politics. Bloodmobile Will Be Here Next Thursday, March 9 The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at Deseret Stake Center Thurs day, March 9, between the hours of 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. Quota for this area is 125 pints. Mrs. Dorothy Killpack, in charge of making arrangements for the bloodmobile, says "In the year of 1966, 42 pints of blood were collected col-lected in west Millard. Our local hospital had the use of 142. We replaced re-placed 62 pints to Salt Lake Hospital Hos-pital to cover blood used by our west Millard residents there and 2 pints to out-of-state hospitals. This does not cover the amount of gamma gam-ma used in our area and it takes 1 pint of blood to make 5cc of gamma." gam-ma." "We are not supplying as much blood as we are using," Mrs. Kill-pack Kill-pack said. "Should we not carry our share of the load?" she questioned. ques-tioned. "Medicine is far advanced these days. However, there is no way to get blood from a turnip. We need Mr., Miss and Mrs. Blood Donor. All persons between the ages of 18 and 60 and in good health can give blood. Happiness is sharing a pint of blood with someone" she concluded. Jean Eliason Appointed to College Group Miss Jean Eliason, daughter of Attorney and Mrs. Eldon A. Eliason, who is presently attending the University Uni-versity of Utah.was selected to participate par-ticipate last week in competition for the Western Collegiate Association Associa-tion College Bowl.

Most State Team Championships Champion-ships (5 in a row); Most attendance at Class B Matches (over 2500); Most individual State Champions (eight). That is a record that probably only D.H.S. wrestlers can beat. Cmtflfe!iin(o iews Delta City Council met Monday night in regular session. All coun-cilmen coun-cilmen were present and conducting conduct-ing the meeting was Mayor Richard Rich-ard S. Morrison. In attendance at the meeting were groups of citizens who presented pre-sented opposing views on the question ques-tion of whether to retain, modify or repeal City Ordinance 6-1, which regulutes business hours. Ward Killpack and Bill Bishop acted act-ed as' spokesmen for a group of merchants who asked that the Ordinance Or-dinance be not repealed, but modified mod-ified to permit later closing hours under daylight savings time. They also presented a petition from re tail clerks" which simply opposed repeal. The petition carried 22 sig natures. Mr. and Mrs. Rod Ivie argued In favor of outright repeal. They pre sented a petition carrying 24 signatures, sig-natures, claiming that the closing ordinances are in violation of businessmen's bus-inessmen's constitutional rights to exercise free enterprise and stab ing that if the Council fails to re peal they, "further and whatever appeals may be necessary will be made to the District Attorney's office of-fice and Courts to receive a judgment judg-ment and the return of these rights to the business of the City of Del ta." Mayor Morrison is a signor to the latter petition and said that he is of the opinion that the or-dinancese or-dinancese should be repealed rather rath-er than modified. It was suggested that a meeting of all business people be called and the matter settled by a majority ma-jority vote. Mayor Morrison opposed oppos-ed this suggestion and said he felt the "unalienable rights" of individual indi-vidual businessmen was not subject sub-ject to being overridden by a majority ma-jority vote of any group. He observed ob-served that Federal laws protect all employees from being required to work more than a set number of hours per week.
