Thirty-fiv- e operations in ah received payments which totalled $1,101,091 and went to stockmen and farmers in 11 of the state's counties. In Box Elder County 11 individuals and partnerships received $296,070. A complete list of the nation's major recipients of farm subsidy payments was placed in the Congressional Record recently by Rep. Paul Findley, a longtime foe of big farm susidies. Rep. Findley did not say what subsidies his list covered; but according to a spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, it includes payments for growers of wheat, feed grains, cotton, wool and sugar. He said the Utah payments were mainly for woolgrowers and did not include crop loans. Following is a list of Utah beneficiaries from farm subsidy programs and the amount they received from the federal government in 1971: Box Elder County - Selman & Goring, $32,885; Curlew L U-t- ll., - THE SCHOOL'S BEGUN Ground has been broken for the new McKlnley school at South Park.

The Tremonton city council decided to try out a state program that will train the unemployed for jobs with the city. Norris Cooley from the State Representatives of Bear River City closed a loan last Monday with the Farmers Home Administration for the construction of a collection and treatment system in their city. The action came after three years of planning and work. Application for the FHA loan was made in February of 1969. The systme will consist of collection lines and lagoons and will be located west of the community. The town of Bear River City will contribute $38,000 of the estimated total, $361,000. FHA is granting a gift of $157,500 and loaning the city another $147,500. The Environmental Protection Agency is providing a grant of another $18,000. The FHA loan will be paid back by revenues from the new sewer system. The system will serve approximately 133 connections, most of which are residential, and an estimated population of 445 persons according to the 1970 census. Construction on the lagoon system is hoped to commence in several weeks, although no decision has been reached as to when the pipeline construction will begin. Eldon H.
