Such a something happened this morning when, as I opened the mail I came across this as a news release: "I will hold a press conference this coming Saturday, April 22, at 1 p.m. in the Golden Room of the Temple Square for the purpose of announcing whether or not I will seekthe Republican nomination for Governor of Utah. Light refreshments will be served." The announcement was signed but it didn't help much, all I could see in my imagination was the picture of this gentleman arriving at his press conference with perhaps fifty august members of the fourth estate on hand to record his announcement and him coming out to say that after much soul searching and reviewing of the affairs of state under a Democratic administration, he had decided not. to become a candidate for the Republican nomination, etc. went up the canyon for a little drive last Sunday and were much Impressed by the work which has been done on the road since our last visit. Most of the blasting has been completed and the road widening project through the Dead Man's Curve area is nearing completion - a beautiful piece of work. We were also quite impressed by the amount of water being lost from the pipe line as it comes down the canyon. With the lack of snow of the past months and the forcast of "dry" for the coming growing season, it appears that it would be well for work to bo undertaken to place the old wooden' pipeline in better repair. In the area where I took the picture, most of the water leaking out finds its way back into the stream. That is not the case with most of the leakage which is sprayed out to be evaporated or lost through plant utilization. 15-B- ear We The newly organized Five County Association for an Executive Director to take over the running of the outfit. Anyone interested in the job can get more information by writing to Box 261 in Cedar City 2. or by calling The news release came in too late to be run this week but it is written with such rare "governmenteze" that I must give you the final two paragraphs. "Special consideration will be given to persons with broad experience in public service, education administration or business. Applicants must also be knowledgable in the areas of government organization and administration. "The position of Executive Director has been created by the pilot program adopted by the Five County Organization which will provide a region-alizati(that's right, 'regionalization') for the delivery of human resource services." Although I have tried to be as active in community work as I know how and have been active in the Five County Organization, I must admit that I haven't the foggiest idea how anyone would go about providing a regionalization for the delivery of human resource services. The plain truth of the matter is that this, I am afraid, is another example of the hokum which is rationalized and finally accepted when people believe they are taking advantage of a federal porgram. As far as I am concerned, I Intend to ask every candidate for state office what his stand is on such 'regionalization' and then I will do my best to sort those who believe in it out of office. Until such time as the purposes of the Five County Association of Governments can be described to me in common language by a high school student, I am going to look upon that organization as being at least extra constitutional if not completely unconstitutional. To the very best of my knowledge, there is no provision for such an arm of government under our constitution - I believe we must be very careful In allowing this organization to continue. If it is to continue and to grow, I believe we deserve to know in rather precise language just what purpose it is to serve AND, WHAT PRESENT GOVERNMENTAL OFFICES, elected and otherwise, It is to replace or eliminate!!!!!!!!! of Governments is advertising 586-484- on CURT HETOKT Charley: "Tell them all you know, Andrew; it won't take very long."

County Adopts New Weed Control Program Beaver County has adopted a new weed program and has appointed Max Price of Milford as County Weed Supervisor. Max will operate the county weed sprayer and is anxious to help control all noxious weeds in the county. He will control weeds on county roads and on private property. Land owners having noxious weed problems can have the weeds sprayed by paying for the cost of the material. This should be very reasonable in most cases. Max will work according to the following weekly schedule: Monday and Tuesday in Milford valley, Wednesday in Minersville and Thursday and Friday in Beaver valley. Landowners desiring noxious weeds sprayed should contact Max Price or the County Agent office. This program is under the supervision of the County Commission and the County Weed Board, ft should prove to be a big step toward control of noxious weeds in Beaver County.

Increase Exemptions As millions of taxpayers have learned to their dismay in recent weeks, federal income tax withholding rates last year were set too low for working couples and individuals with more than one job. Many have had to send in substantial additional payments with their tax returns, according to the Utah Association of Certified Public Accountants. This year, to prevent this, the Internal Revenue Service set higher withholding rates which, unless affected taxpayers take certain steps, can put the shoe on the other foot, causing an fro.n salaries of taxwho do not have outside incomes and whose spouses do not payers work. LeRoy Christopherson, President of the Utah CPAs says that estimates of the excessive amounts being withheld range from four to ten billion dollars and Federal government officials are concerned about the dampening effects on the economy of so much money being kept out of circulation. "If you're the type who just doesn't seem to be able to save, there's no need to do anything the overwifhholding," about Christopherson advises, "you'll simply get a nice refund next year. But what you're doing, In effect, Is giving Uncle Sam an interest-fre- e loan." To avoid the overwithholdlng of taxes from your paycheck the CPAs suggest that you see your employer and ask to fill out a new W-- 4 form, which carries tables showing the tax liabilities atvar-iou- s income levels. If the tables Indicate that more taxes are being withheld than you will owe, claim one or more exemptions beyond what you actually have to bring taxes withheld into line with taxes owed. Formerly, claiming more exemptions than one had was Illegal, says the Society, but now the Internal Revenue Service is perIn fact, encouraging mitting the practice for those whose withholding is more than It should be. gS&SS-imM. i?r'7yfrmm,mm ' Ice and streams of water show poor condition of old wooden pipeline In canyon.

He suggested that athletes become more concious of what has been done for them and what they might do to repay the debt. Quoting from a minister Coach Waits suggested that there are three kinds of philosophies. There are those who say that what is yours is mine and I'll take it any way I canget it; those who say what Is mine Is mine, and will not share and those who say what Is mine Is also yours.
