Show PRESS TIME By Georfe The first thing I'd like to do is to offer a welcome to all of the teachers who are going to work here in Beaver County through the coming school year at the job of bringing up our kids and trying to pound some smart into their little pointed heads. Although the recent troubles we in Utah have been having over our educational program has given many folks a rather bad taste, I feel that we are very fortunate in having the fine quality of teachers here in this small county and want to offer the services of the Press to the schools in any way that we are able to help them in carrying out the project of giving our children an education. I hope that all of the new teachers will find this to be a friendly community and will, should they leave at the close of the year, remember their days here with fondness. Secondly, I'd like to ask, what in heck is going on in this here little old county of just over four thousand population? I realize that election years are not the best time to see a small town or a small county at its best but that surely can't explain the recent actions of certain people within the boundaries of Beaver County. As a 'forinstance,' I read in the Beaver County News from Milford that candidate Jack has arranged a meeting with the State Road Commission at which meeting the people of the West End of the county are to have the chance the 'air their views and desires' pertaining to having an interchange at the junction of Interstate 15 and Ma-hon- U-2- 1. As far as I am concerned, that is all very fine and more power to them. The trouble is, if the people of the West End feel that there should be an interchange at that point, then why in the name of common sense don't they come on the heck over here to Beaver and express their views and see if we can't present a united front to the said Road Commission so that we have some little chance, of getting one. Last week a fellow I know who lives in Milford was over here and he was under the that the folks here are all just dead set against having any such of an animal and when asked who the people were that were so dead set he answered, "the Main Street Businessmen, of course." Now, it just so happens that I have talked to a quite a several of those Main Street Businessmen and I fail to find that to be the sentiment of that group. Those I have discussed the problem with seemed to feel that they really weren't too sure what should be done. What really bothers me Is that the meeting was to be arranged so that "The people of the West End of Beaver County would be heard". Not the people of Beaver County, but only the West End. To me that makes as much sense as someone from Beaver paying a visit to the said Road Commission to arrange a meeting of the people of Beaver to have a hearing on where an overpass over the railroad at Milford should be placed, or when a load limit should be placed on the road from Milford to Delta. Sure, the only justification for our interest in those questions is that we might see some traffic from that direction occasionally or that we go that way on ocOther than that, the casion. location of any overpass at Milford or other road building programs in that area are none of our business and we should keep our noses out. As far as I'm concerned, the problem of an interchange in Beaver is very similar. Personally, I feel that to get the most traffic possible here in our town we should have as many opportunities as possible for the traveling public to get into Beaver. I feel that an interchange might well be and a good thing at But I also feel that the men who have invested their life's work in building a business in this city are the ones who need to be heard. If the wrong decision is made, they are the ones who will suffer as well as every taxpayer in this county. If an Interchange is to be had at that Junction, it is going to take an effort on the part of all of this county to get it. Not just those wh0 live in the West U-2- 1. End. The only way Beaver County can ever hope to get it's share of consideration from the State Road Commission, that includes the Puffers Lake Road and any other roads we may need is for this county to present a united front to the folks from Single Copy 10c $3.00 a Year in Beaver County Other BEAVER, UTAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, $4.08 196 Volume 59 No. 35 Ruben Dptson Suffers Binary's Stride Wins In Loss By Haystack Fire Ely Race Meet Meet Your New Teachers By Ruth Dotson The fire department was called 'to the residence of Ruben Dotson to help put out the fire that was in the hay stack.
