They put bottles out in various stores in town and obtained money to pay for the dinner and then, at the dinner, a considerable sum of money was raised. The total that they banked at that time was $2,591.27. This sum has drawn interest in the amount of $230.82 which makes a total of $2,822.09 Of this amount they used $200.00 as a down payment on the hospital site and $79.00 was used to pay for meat used at the dinner. This leaves a balance in that account of $2,543.09 in that account. This money has not been put in with the tax money because should the bond election fail or any other thing cause the present plans for hospital construction to fail, all monies in the Service Area One account are to revert to th County General Fund. The hospital board members f?el that this money was raised to provide medical facilities and can only be used for that purpose. In 1961 a tax levy of two milk was levied against property in Service Area No. One. Thirl levy has resulted in the following revenue: Held for Milo Bakers 1961 1962 US Finance (CFI) TOTAL INCOME . . $4,220.35 $4,238.30 $4,075.00 $12,533.65 Expenditures: Sites and Improvements $1,824.10 Bonds of Officers 227.64 Cost of Collection 234.96 15.64 Supplies Advertising of Hearing and 192.70 Resolutions Architects Fees 3950.00 TOTAL .EXP. $6,445.04 Cash Balance, March 20. 1963 . $6,088.61 Sunday evening, March 17th, a farewell testimonial was held for Naomi and Milo Baker who are leaving to serve a mission in the Central States.

From these figures we find that in the first year with $149,000 in bonds outstanding, the interest would be, $5,215.00, we could retire $5000 in principle and still leave $1,055 for operation and maintenance. In the 5th year we would have $127,000 in bonds outstanding, with $4,445 going for interest, we could retire $6,000 worth of bond3 and have $815 left for' operation. In the 10th year, the interest on the remaining bonds would ' amount to $3,290. This would allow for the retirement of $7,000 worth of bonds and leave $980 for operating costs. In the 15th year the interest would amount to $1,925 which would allow $9,000 for bond retirement leaving $660. In the 20th year the interest would amount to $315 with $9,000 allotted to retire the last of the bonds and $1,955 left over for operation. I realize that the above figures are not complete, but they are representative of the probable figures which will be used if the people elect to bond themselves for this project. In each year there Is a small surplus after the payment of the Interest and principle which can be used for operating costs.

Feaur-e- d speaker were John Kinney, director of region 7, from Santa Rosa, California; Mrs. Irene Parsons. Utah State Womens' Director; and Mr. Leonard State Director and, of course, Babe Ruth, Beaver County director. Babe pointed out that preparation for civil defense is a very important part of our national defense policy and can even effect our foriegn policy. If our Secretary of State goes into a conference knowing that the people of this country are in a position where they can protect themselves in event of an attack, he is bargaining from a position of strength; if, however, he knows that we will be completely wiped out by such an attack, then he will have to make concessions in order to avert even the threat of such attack. Such concessions could well lead to the collapse of our form of government and surrender by default. He pointed out that at the present time one of the best offenses we as a nation can have is a good defense. Mr. Kinney pointed out that the situation in event of such attack, is not hopeless. If you are over ten miles from the center of the blast area and have made preparations, you can survive. An atomic blast or explosion will burn and destroy anything within a very close distance, depending on the size of the bomb. The explosion will burn all building and raise thousands of tons of radioactive dust particles. These dust particles are radioactive and give off gama rays. In order to get complete protection from these rays, there should be at least three feet of dirt between you and the dust particles. Partial protection can be had by being inside a house or building. Because we do not live in an area which would be a prime military target, we can even expect to save a large part of our livestock. But, we must make preparations before the time when we will need them. It's too late after the bombs are in flight. All of the speakers stressed the need for individual initiative. The government can give you plans and specifications, but each family must make its own preparations and have its own plan. The community shelters are being built largely for people who may be caught from home. Each of us must be responsible for our own safety and that of our family. Too bad more people weren't able to attend this meeting. In this case, 'the life you save wiU be your own.' areas of Beaver County was held in the Minersville Elem. cntary School. This meeting had been called for by Mr. J. Crox-foracting director of the Utah State Department of Health. Present at the meeting was a fairly large group including Mr. Lew Collanda, Director of Region Seven, US Public Health Department; the Beaver County Commissioners; a delegation from the Continental Bank and Trust Co.; Mr. Lincoln Ure, of the Lincoln Ure Brokerage Co.; and of course, the boards of the two service areas. of the meeting The fore-pawas devoted to showing the Boards of the service areas how difficult it would be for the people of Beaver County to support two hospital installations in the county. After the government men had finished their talks they asked for a reaction from the Board members to a plan to build a hospital somewhere between Milford and Beaver. The Board members responded that they had been appointed to secure hospital facilities in their respective areas and could not give an opinion on such a plan. It was then brought out that the Continental Bank wanted Service area No. 2 to refund the money they have received for the sale of the hospital-bondbecause of the cloud which hangs over the service Area Act since the Supreme Court of Utah ruled the Salt Lake Municipal Auditorium Service Area as being unconstitutional. Service Area No. 2 does not feel that they should refund this money nor do they feel that they should take part in a 'test case', they want to use the money they have to build a hospital and for no other purd, .r Beaver High School's FFA Chapter brought honors to their school and to themselves when they entered state competition in Salt Lake City on March 22 and 23.

BEAVER. rt pose. Hig-gin- 58 No. 13 With Marg' BEAVER, UTAH FRIDAY, OCT. 8th, 1905 Editor of the Weekly Press, I do hope you wiU publish this article - that is. if you think it worthwhile. I read the answer of "Moss Back" to "Subscriber" and think him far behind the times. The letter reminds me of a childs story I once read in which all of the people in a certain city were just like Moss Back and the place was miles behind the times. He asks if we are any better than our forefathers, I say no. Perhaps we are no better than our first parents, Adam and Eve but I don't think many of us would enjoy going around clad in leaves and eating fruit just because they did. I am not prepared to contradict the statement as to how ditch water tasted forty years ago, because I have not lived that long but I do not think that it is very nice now. Some of it was analized and the result was that it was hardly fit for cattle to drink. I need not say that most people consider themselves better than cattle. "Moss Back" must not have electric lights in his house because anyone who has had them will say what an improvement they are on the coal-o- il lamps and tallow candles. I agree with Moss Back on two things; the Auto Car and the other is the paper, (signed) Elinore s, Then came the 'Shotgun' According to Mr. Croxford, the approval for the funds for the two Service Areas came under the recommendation of the 1962 plan of the Utah State Hospital Planning Com mittee. Under the 1963 plan of this committee, Beaver County is to be allowed to build one hospital with twelve beds to serve the county's needs. When asked who this committee was he said it was a committee of Utah people representing the entire state of Utah, In responce to the question, "who represents this area on this committee"? Mr. Croxford answered,. No one on the committee is from this immediate area. As far as south ern Utah is concerned, the member from Provo is as far south as they go. When asked what the committee based their decision on, he answered that the committee based their decision on statistics, and went on to show that their statistics were Well-Bab- y Clinic very accurate.

The article that appeared in the October 6 issue, headed "Answer" was surely a clever way the writer had of pre senting himself before the public as a journalist and patriotic citizen. Whatever his forefather had is good enough for him and his .children He is likened unto a jellyfish, satisfied to lay motionless and absorb the scant necessities of life from whatever he by chance comes n contact with. The only motion possessed by him is when caught by the tide of progress and shifted to some new lodgement to await the rising of the new tide.
