The trouble flared as negotiators for the UMW and the ABC attempted to resume their bargaining talks which had earlier broken down in Washington, D.C. The ABC contract 12 but Nov. expired negotiations had broken down after the first tentative agreement between the ABC and the UMW had been turned down by the union's bargaining council. Under pressure from the federal government, a new agreement was reached last Thursday which was acceptable to the bargaining council. Members from the union local were expected to vote on the proposed contract last Monday. Local members of the construction striking workers went back to work Monday morning as they voted earlier to return to work. Local tallies showed that 28 miners had voted for the contract and five against in the vote that was overwhelmingly approved nationally. which it saw seven coal and more companies, people than anyone would care to remember, come and go. It's claim to notoriety came on April 21, 1897 when Butch Cassidy and a companion robbed the mine office of $10,000 in gold. The Pleasant Valley Coal Company office and store will soon be no more. Although an effort was made locally to save the building and have it transported to a safe place along with other structures in Castle Gate, the time and funds for such a project were simply not available. Now, if plans are carried out according to schedule, the store, a registered historic landmark, will be destroyed sometime early next year. The imminent destruction of the building prompted the appearance of a survey crew from the Utah Historical Society last week. The three man crew spent two days climbing around, over and through the structure taking measurements photographs accurate and in order that artist's con- ceptions may be made of the These building. drawings, along with a history written by Kent Powell, and assistant director at the Utah Historical Society, are going to be entered in the the historical marker remembering Cassidy's daring robbery as the centerpiece of a stone monument recalling the store and the history of Castle Gate. department prepares for the upcoming presentation of "Godspell''.

John - Michael Tebelak who conceived and directed "Godspell" refers to his offerings as "free form theatrical work based on material taken from The New Testament. I would like to revitalize people's interest in religion. I would want to bring more celebration into religion." Tebelak says, "Life is good, people should love, forgive, and accept one another, Christianity is central." Schwartz, Stephen composer of the words and music for "Godspell", has recently been called "brilliant . . . electric . . . wonderful." Critics have acclaimed "Godspell" as "everything show music should be fun, rousing, tuneful, infectious."

We are thirsty and require more than a cupful to whet our desire. We pursue our illusive dream of happiness in a hundred and one ways which seems always a step beyond our grasp. We plant and work, produce and consume, we buy and earn, spend and are spent all in our consuming desire to find what we are seeking, to become truly ourselves to discover the secret of life, the reason why we are here, the meaning of our existence.

Helper's city council has come to the conclusion that rationing is ineffective in controlling water use. Thus, following prodding from a number of sources, the city council is about to revise water rates. While figures have yet to be established, the council is talking of making adjustments that will leave the basic rate charged for the first unit of water service unchanged, be it residential, outside residential or commercial rates. The upward adjustments come in the categories that the city council considers to be "excess" usage, here, water users can expect some substantial rate hikes. The purpose of this hike is, according to Frank Scavo, twofold. First,he feels that water usage will only go down when it begins to take a bite out of an individuals' pocketbook to continue using as before. Secondly, Helper's water revenues are not nearly high enough to provide for both basic service and to establish a fund from which the water department may draw when future improvements in the water system become necessary. The fact is, over the four summer months, Helper's water system showed a loss in excess of $4,000. Losses like that, all attributable to increased material and labor costs, simply can't go on if the city expects to maintain good service. Thus, Helper's course of action, at least for... the next few months, seems clear enough. It is when one begins to contemplate the future needs of the area that plans begin to get in Carbon mmmmm Personals state legislature, ton, the business and community leaders have been invited to the celebration.

Jim Day, who was head of the survey crew that traveled to Castle Gate from Salt Lake, said "It is a shame that something can't be done to save the building, but from the look of it, an attempt to move the structure would present all kinds of problems."

Etzel Phone 637 2668 - Price Utah Power talks about your electric power: Why it's necessary to have reserve electricity generating capacity We've all experienced untimely mechanical problems. Automobiles break down. Plumbing stops up. Roofs develop leaks. Problems like these happen even though we keep watch and work to prevent them. And too often, these difficulties are not only unexpected but require costly repairs. But it happens to everybody... including Utah Power. For example, on November 28th at 4:20 a.m., a mechanical failure occurred in the high pressure turbine of a 330,000 kilowatt unit at our Naughton Plant near Kemmerer, Wyoming. And, working as rapidly as possible, we have determined that it will take six months and over $1 million in repairs alone to bring this unit back into service for you. Some of the company's large industrial customers that are served from the company's reserve capacity on an interruptible basis may not get all of the power they can use until this damaged unit goes back into operation, but we expect that there will be an adequate supply for all firm customers. The older company plants which provide reserve capacity are not as efficient as the damaged Naughton Plant unit, so it costs more to generate power using them. It also costs more to purchase power when available from interconnected neighboring utilities . this added expense pushes up the already rapidly advancing costs of providing the electric Unfortunately, power you need. It's another important reason why electric utilities need reserve generating capacity. And since you're a customer, you have a right to know that Utah Power is ready and able to provide the electricity you need even in the face of unexpected circumstances. . ' I |
