Ralph Hart will be a new teacher at Bear River High school; Joan Pilkington, at and William School; Carl Johanson for Box Elder Junior High School. Ruby Fife was approved as piano accompanist at Box Elder High. Graduation dates for the two high schools were also approved by the Board. Bear River's exercises will be held Wednesday, June 1, and Box Elder's will be Thursday, June 2. A policy on the use of eye goggles in the high school shop, chemistry and physics classes was adopted under five regulations: Goggles will be provided for each student in each shop class by the board of education. - Students, teachers and visitors must wear goggles or safety glasses while in the shops. 3- The board will provide a sufficient number of goggles to fit every student in the largest physics or chemistry class. - Quality eye protective devices must be worn by everyone in the room when anyone is involved in an activity which under the law is considered dangerous. - Instructors and administrators are requested to study the law requiring the use of goggles and its implications. The cost of the goggles was 1- 2- 4- 5- reported as 77 cents a pair. The new law gives the board cause for serious concern in in the possibility of liability case a student is injured in school. At the request of Principal was Kleon Kerr, permission granted for students at Bear River High school to use either their own swimming suits or a rented one furnished by the board. In the past? suits have been provided to the schools under a rental agreement. Charles E. Hunter, vice president and general manager reports that the first motor will be loaded with solid propellant in September 1966 and will be delivered two months later with final delivery of the 157 motors scheduled for August 1967. With advanced development and engineering effort, plus the requirement for spares and support equipment associated with this contract, the initial funding of $36.9 million could be increased significantly. Since the funding was received, the Wasatch Division has been requested to produce fixe addi- tional motors. Thiokol's first stage motor will be delivered to Air Force Plant 77 at Hill Air Force Base where it will be assembled with the other two stages and associated components a completed intercontinental ballistic missle. The completed missile will then be transported to operational sites. Officials at the Wasatch Division will soon begin preparations for negotiations on the next funding program for Minefuteman production follow-o- into n fort. Bears To Play Box Elder Fri. Bear River hoopsters face their second league test Friday when they meet Box Elder at Box Elder. The Bears, still stinging from loss to SkyView their last week, will need to post a victory if they are to stay in the region race. In the game last week at SkyView, the Bears held leads totaling as much as 10 points. However, the fast breaking Bobcats cut the lead off and managed to maintain a lead they picked up in the last few minutes of play. The Brigham Club opened win league play with a over the Roy Royals in what sports writers termed a ragged game. Bee hoopsters for the Rivermen to watch are John 54-4- 7 59-4- 5 Nielsen and Ron Munns. In the Roy game, Nielsen tanked 17 points, while Munns hit for 15. Other Box Elder men to watch are Jensen, Oyler, and Reeves. Coach Durrell Hughes will floor a team at Brigham Friday that has much potential both scoring and courtwise. Jensen, big 6 foot 3 inch center, hit for 18 points in the SkyView game. Jensen is always a scoring threat for close in shots as well as those farther out. Bowcutt, also a rangy eager, and Shaw, a promising junior, have scor. ing punch and hoop Garn and Rose, the Bears back-coumen, .both have an eye for the hoop. Hughes will depend much on these boys to bring the ball into scoring terknow-how- rt ritory. y the Christmas of yesteryear.

Their attention was called to the matter by Arnold Hall. After some consideration of the matter, it was decided that the administrator should be covered with the County Employee's blanket bond for $2500 and should also be covered by an additional $7500 bond. Mr. Hall agreed to see that the matter was taken care of immediately. A piece of property that had been purchased by the Wells-vill- e Mountain Project from John G. Braegger Jr. had been allowed to go delinquent on the advice of county officials last year, and was presented again to them by Fullmer Allred Monday. He requested that the property now be removed from the tax rolls before the county has to pay to have them advertised as delinquent. The matter was approved as requested. Road Request Received A request was received by the County Commissioners Monday from Philbert C. and Charles D. Lind of Lynn requesting that the county include a piece of road .by the Lynn ward chapel and school house in their 1966 road budget, as this is the worst piece of road in the area, being almost impassable in bad .weather. No action was taken. Civil Defense Director E. Emery Wight reported to the commissioners that he now has access to either a 100 watt or a 200 watt generator through Surplus Property for use in the Civil Defense Center when it is set up in the basement of the Court House. The officials felt these would probably be too small for the purpose, and asked Mr. Wight to investigate through the county agent and the extension department of USU on the size recommended for this generator.

Car-Trai- n DECEMBER T a y lo r Enterprises, Inc., is a firm that was started in Brigham City and has recently moved to Tremonton because of the agricultural relationship of the products which they manufacture and because of of the invitation Wayne Sandall and the Bear River State Bank. TEI is currently manufacturing and marketing three products for which it feels there need in has been a long-fela portable elecagriculture. TEI t i) tronic grain moisture tester. soil 2 a portable .electric an moisture tester, and 3 electric home-sizeflour mill. The portable grain moisture tester was developed by TEI to satisfy new moisture measuring requirements of grain producers. In 1964 the I'SDA initiate.! new rules on the storage of grain in elevators and set the maximum moisture content for wheat at 13.5 per cent. In view of the necessity for making a quick and accurate moisture test of all grain going into an elevator, the tester has found ready acceptance by elevator d stone-grindin- operators,' grain buyers, grain growers and those dealing in seeds of all types. Made in lengths of from two to ten feet and battery powered, the grain moisture tester, which weighs only five pounds, permits an elevator operator to make numerous readings on a truck load or carload of grain, thus permitting him to immediately determine if the grain is unsuitable for storage before it is unloaded. On a farm where grain is a major production item, the use of the grain moisture tester allows a farmer to determine if the crop is ready to harvest by making a test of newly combined grain. A few hours difference in cutting time can be in moisture very significant content, and by use of the Taylor Tester, the farmer can always determine if his grain is ready to harvest or has a moisture content above the maximum allowable. The grain tester, when properly calibrated, will also give an accurate reading when used in seeds, baled hay, loose hay or similar products. The soil moisture tester is light in weight and will record the moisture content in an inch of soil or in any depth down to 24 inches depending on the dis- tance the probe is pushed into WiCsuil. It works instantly and the percent of moisture is clearly seen on the dial. One of the uses of the soil tester will be in sprinkler irrigated areas, where a farmer using the instrument can quickly determine just how much moisture he is laying down and it is how deep penetrating. Potato growers especially find It the instrument invaluable. should also prove highly useful to farmers who are on a limited irrigation water supply for they can check and double check exactly what their water supply is doing for them by way of soil moisture content.. flour mill The being offered by TEI was developed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as a kitchen appliance for those desiring freshly ground The mill whole wheat flour. will, however, grind "all grains mill and is the only home-sizeon the market known to do so. The mill has been on the market for about five years, they are now being manufactured in Utah and TEI is now selling these mills as exclusive sales agent throughout the country. At the present time TEI has seven employees and expects to increase their staff within the next four months to 20 persons. are Officers of the company stone-grindin- g d Lawrence C.
