Show Two Texas Youths Bound Oyer to District Court Bound over to District Court by Justice Emil Pearson Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1970 were Louis L. Whitmire and William O. Parten, both nineteen nine-teen and both of El Paso, Texas, who were charged Nov. 21, 1969 with possession and control of marijuana on a complaint signed by Trooper Scoott Skidmore, Utah Highway Patrol. Justice Pearson also reduced the bail to $5,000.00 property or $2,500.00 cash. Preliminary Prelimi-nary hearing had been postponed until the February date because of illness of one of the youth's mother. Representing the State of Utah at the hearing was Eldon Eliason, County Attorney. Defence attorneys attor-neys were Lee A. Chagra, El Paso and Robert Van Sciver, Salt Lake. Whitmire and Parten were stopped stop-ped by Trooper Skidmore north of of Lynndyl Nov. 21 in a routine check. He testified at the hearing that the driver of the 1969 pickup truck, Whitmire, showed him a rental receipt for the truck to a person named by Whitmiire as his brother-in-law. According to Trooper Troop-er Skidmore's testimony, the two youths told him they were taking dishes and clothing to Calif. He further testified that after hearing this they were dismissed. Upon reflection, re-flection, he said, he felt he should check the story more thoroughly as he was not acquainted with the person whose name was on the rental receipt. He stopped the truck a second time because "if the trunks in back did contain what they said then their story about the registration was more plausible," he said. He asked if he could look into the trunks, he testified. One of the trunks was opened by one of the youths and marijuana was discovered beneath linens. The second trunk was later searched and found to also contain con-tain marijuana, he said.

Calif. 94595. 7,500 read it in The CHRONICLE "SERVING Vol. 60 No. 32 EDITORIAL On Our Stump . . . Another program called a program for the "good of the (west Millard) area" is being proposed by a group of citizens from the Salt Lake City area. This program is headed by Youth Ranches of America Amer-ica and proposes to purchase land for development into a youth ranch thus providing homes, education and social services to 120 children and youths who have been taken from their own parents by court action. We possess enough social conscience to think the proposed pro-posed ranch would be beneficial for the unfortunate children. child-ren. But, we're realists enough to think that the program could become another "sewing plant" fiasco. Within recent years this area has had no less than five projects "for the good of the area". These include a museum that never developed for the lack of an old steam engine; a sewing plant whose officials wanted 51 of the stock after local money was to have been used to construct the plant and install all machinery; a golf course that is now showing promise after being rescued by a small group of individuals; a rock factory in Hinckley; and, another sewing plant that was to expand to this area only to reconsider, re-consider, leaving a group of local people saddled with a building still in boxes, so to speak. In our opinion this is enough "good of the area" projects. pro-jects. During the same time the economy has received real boosts by private enterprise through the construction of the AT&T microwave station; the Continental Telephone Company's Autovon and Utah Telephone Company and the Brush Beryllium Company. The results of these last can readily be seen. The area is enjoying an influx of new people, new money and new ideas. Not a one of these came with cup in hand and appeals ap-peals to the soft-hearted. They came to do a job. And, by golly, they're do5ng it. The new project, Youth Ranches of America, would have more appeal to us if the ones in charge would use a lot less talk about "good of the area" and "good for the youngsters" and use more about being a private enterprise that intends to show a profit while attempting to serve humanity. Good intentions and lofty expressions notwithstanding the program has real merit of its own. We believe that statistics would support us in our claim that if 25 of these youngsters are guided to productive produc-tive citizenship the project would more than pay for itself over the long haul. And that is a darned good reason for its being. And probably the only one that will really count in the final analysis. We're not about to get off our stump until we say something about the criticism directed at local people who may eventually sell their property to the Youth Ranches of America for the project. This is mighty unfair, in our opinion, and absolutely no one's business what a person does with his own property. pro-perty. Likewise, the Youth Ranches of America should not be criticised for purchasing property to develop into a youth ranch. This is no one's business, either. Private property is just that. Private. And now we climb down. LEGAL HOLIDAYS ESTABLISHED By action of Delta City Council Monday, Feb. 9, the following dates were established as legal holidays for the City of Delta: Memorial Day July 4th !

Course Dr. John Stevens and Dr. Austin Loveless from the State Department Depart-ment of Public Instruction were n Delta Wednesday, Feb. 4 to dis cuss the 12th grade program . of the Millard District's four-year vocational vo-cational program. I The program for 12th graders will be patterned much like the "on-the-job-training" program for veterans after World War II in that participating students will actually actual-ly be trained by local businesses, trades and professions while still in school. The program is a natural foUow-up foUow-up of the 11th grade program "Looking Over the Shoulder" in which participating students were more or less shown how certain area businesses, trades and professions pro-fessions work. However, the 11th grade students were not required to receive actual training. ! Unlike the "on-the-job' program for veterans where the veteran re-' ceived credit and the participating business received payment for instructing in-structing the veteran, the 12-grade program does not require that businesses, busi-nesses, etc. be paid for their time and effort. It is a gesture on their parts to help students gain an insight in-sight and training in the student's chosen field. Dr. Loveless said at I the meeting that businesses par-' par-' ticipating in a similiar program In ' Negotiations Underway For Land Purchase Negotiations are still underway Shuman and others of the associa-for associa-for the purchase of the Wallace tion will be in Delta Friday of this Holman ranchland in the Suther land area by the Youth Ranches of America, (YRA). Also, the Youth Ranches have an option to purchase the Russell Knight property In the McCornick area, according to Mr. Ray L. Shuman, president of the program, in a telephone conservation conserva-tion with the Chronicle Tuesday. Delta has been selected as the launching pad for the "pilot" pro-grom pro-grom for the project. The Delta area ranch will be one of three such ranches planned for Utah. Mr. Shuman, a former Baptist minister from West Virginia but converted to the LDS religion, is enthusiastic in his discussions on the ranches. He says purpose of the YRA is to provide a loving home, education and social services to children removed re-moved from their homes by court action due to parental negligence. Youths at the ranches will attend local public schools and share responsibilities re-sponsibilities for care of the ranch. Those youngsters likely to be referred re-ferred to YRA by the Division of Family Services include those showing symptoms which are serious ser-ious but in the beginning stages: hostility and aggression toward themselves, their family or the public; desire to drop out of or expulsion from school: marked withdrawal nr rrninine- awav; re. abuse. Providing assistance for the adjustment ad-justment necessary for the above problem situations will be a staff that includes a coordinator, a psychiatrist, psy-chiatrist, a psychologist, social workers, mental health nurses, an activity therapist, case aids and a clerical staff, Mr. Shuman points out. .-who wiu be parents t0 tnese children?" is the question most often sked by individuals of the board of directors. "We want retired couples with an abilitv to teach Drincirjles of home and ranch activities to apply as house parents. These will be carefully screened for the important impor-tant task of providing the home leadership that will be necessary. It will be our main objective to staff each of our ranches with capable parents who can provide the kind of loving care that Is lackiner in the lives of so manv of the young people who will find their way to us," Mr. Shuman says, September is the date set for the beginning of the Delta ranch. This date is set. sn that, the vnnni?- sters will be able to begin their school year at the fall opening. Fund-raising is now underway. All contributions are welcomed and can be made at Youth Ranches nf America, 16 E. Stratford Ave., Salt Lake City.

A charge of $.50 for adults and $.25 for students will be made at the door. the Salt Lake area continue to stay with the program from year to year. Students will be dismissed from school at least two hours each day to learn from the local businesses, etc. It was suggested that perhaps the businesses should pay the students while they are learning. This was termed a "bribe of sorts" by one in attendance. "Why should those students who choose vocational classes such as this be paid while those students who stay wth prescribed pre-scribed courses in school are not?" was asked. It was then decided that the participating business would be giving enough in time and effort and that actual wages by the business should not be paid during the two hours of school. If the student stayed an hour or so on the job after the regular school hours then wages should be considered. con-sidered. Michael Rose, Community School Director, was authorized to contact con-tact various civic groups an busi-! nesses on the program. Plans are for all to be ready by the fall opening date.

Burton at Press Conferense, Feb. 12. 1970, Hotel Utah, Salt Lake City. Utah, February 12 seems to be a date for historic events: It was on this day In 1733 that James Oglethorpe founded the Colony of Georgia . On thisi day in 1917 that the women of Utah were given the right to vote . . . On this day in 1809 that Abraham Lincoln was born . . . And, on this day in 1970 that Laurence Burton announces his candidancy for the United States Senate. For indeed I am today announcing an-nouncing that I am a candidate for the office of United States Senator from Utah. I believe that my eight years as a member of the House of Representatives, my two and a half years as administrative assistant as-sistant to Governor Clyde, and my two years as legislative assistant as-sistant to Congressman Henry Aldous Dixon hove both qualified me for the office I am now seeking, as well as given me an intimate understanding of the problems and aspirations of the people of Utah. I fully recognize the gavity and importance of this decision as it affects me and many, many, people. It will not be an easy campaign; but when nominated I pledge to you that I will be a working candidate and that X will press the campaign in every section of the state. For this effort wil be vigorously vigorous-ly waged to restore to the people of Utah two votes in support of their interests, two votes in support sup-port of their hopes, two votes in support of their aspirations, and two votes that reflect their growing grow-ing concern that the Senate be restored to its traditional and constitutional role as a deliber- ative body. This campaign win not be a one-man show. It will reauire, and will consist of, a great statewide state-wide effort We will discuss the isues with thousands of people, in hundreds of meetings, and on dozens of comers. We will need, and we will seek, the hearts and hands and help of thousands. Accordingly, as I launch this undertaking, I invite each of you 1 to join with me.
