The Heritage Foods class has been conducted weekly throughout the winter term, according to Mrs. Taylor, the students, most of whom hail from the Helper area, have shared some of their most tempting recipes with classmates and teachers. Tia Imai and Smiley Amano prepared pan fried rice and demonstrated the use of the wok, a Chinese cooking vessel, by cooking up a fondue. Mr. and Mrs. Chris J.

The winter term class ends March 16, Mrs. Taylor said, but it will be offered again next quarter, and the recipes used will be different from those prepared this term.

In the end, the county and commission city council agreed to maintain the Status quo: the county is to be responsible for upkeep of the road above the curve where it becomes Spring Canyon Road, and the city is to maintain the Bryner Street portion, just as has long been the case. The compromise between the two bodies, confering at the regular session of the county commission March 3, came after Helper City Attorney Stanley Litizzette produced a deed dated 1919 which showed the county as owner of the road. He bolstered his case by citing a Utah law which gives counties the authority to designate county roads within city limits provided that no more than three such roads run in the same direction. Not only could the county legally maintain this road, he quipped, but it could legally build two more ' up the canyon. was The dispute precipitated at an earlier commission meeting when Commissioner Jim Simone said the county could be ' to a lawsuit if it used state road funds to maintain a road already under the jurisdiction of another body (Helper City) receiving the funds for the same purpose. Simone had added that the county could not afford to maintain the road in light of its tight budget, though he agreed that the road was badly in need of repair. Heavy coal trucks from the Braztah Corporation mine in the canyon have caused considerable deterioration pavement. At last week's meeting, Simone said he was satisfied that the legal matter had been resolved. Commissioner Floyd Marx then rescinded his motion of the previous meeting to deny funds for the road, and of the the commission unanimously approved the compromise. Simone then suggested that Helper ask Braztah to contribute to the upkeep of Bryner Street in light of the heavy use of the road by the firm's trucks.
