Farming is way of life at Fox dairy operation Each night the sun sets on a horizon of dairy barns, hay fields, a barnful of Holstein cows, Kaye Fox, his wife, Lana, and their 10 kids. The 500 acres of irrigated land that comprises the Fox Dairy Farm lies due west of Lehi. After winter's reprieve, spring work has begun on the farm. Of course, when you run a dairy, the daily grind of milking cows is always there no matter the season of the year. It's .thouglJRie; JPox, Family, doesn't seem to mind the regularity of the day's tasks, in fact, they seem to bask in their chores, and are proud of each day's ac complishments. They're not seeking an out for the troubled farm economy. Taking things in their stride is a hallmark of the four generation family. Granpa Ike started to farm the original farm. Eldred took over from Ike, now, Kaye, Merrill, and Ken are continuing what might be called a dynasty. A few years back, they discovered that trucking complemented their farming venture. Merrill took over Fox Brothers Trucking; Ken is the herdsman, and Kaye does the farming. Ken's wife, Jill, keeps books and records on the dairy herd; Merrill's wife, Chris, takes care of the bookkeeping for the trucking business, and Lana, Kaye's wife, is in charge of farm financing and record-keepin- g. Their children all have responsibilities on the farnv They rise early so they can put in at least an hour of chores before school and try to finish their assigned tasks after school and before it gets too dark to see. But, the rewards of their efforts provide a work incentive. There are the FFA projects, the calf raising, just to name a couple of reasons the Fox children are indoctrinated to farm living. The Foxes didn't put in a bid on the recent dairy buy out. Kaye believes in the law of supply and demand. He realizes that farming's a gamble; he .can't envision doing any thirty else Even though fox's have installed a sprinkling system, many of those art of 500 acres require the age-olirrigation. Where cowboys gear consists of boots and saddle, Kaye Fox's gear is boots and shovel. "Yeah, I push a lot of water," he said. And finding good help is hard, according to Kaye. "Nobody likes to irrigate, and it's just tremendous when you get the right couple to help. You've got the world by the tail if you get someone you can depend on. Well, I've kind of grown my own help," he added. They have shares of Deer Creek and Lehi Irrigation Company water, and pump from several wells. "That's one of the problems," Lana explained, "the high cost of pumping." "We pay the bills," Kaye said. "But everything we buy is higher, and everything we sell is lower. The profit margin is narrower all the d time." The Foxes do not have a debt load to carry. "Work's the name of the game. Even then, we're just tradin' dollars." Everything the Foxes grow on the farm is put through an animal. The Foxes do all their own milling and make their own feed, from planting, growing, harvesting, mixing, rolling and milling. work with closely They nutritionists whose feed formulas and supplements vary according to each cow. The families attend seminars and study new herbicides and farming techniques. "The extension office offers lots of information and advice. 4We really depend on that," "'' "' Kaye said.' He also commended Lehi High teacher, Clay Christensen. "He's doing a great job with the boys. He's helped our program a lot." A kitchen garden is also part of the farm. "We have a vegetable garden together. We freeze and can stuff," Lana said. "We're trying to grow fruit trees, but haven't had too much success so far." Experience has proved to be a great teacher for the Foxes. They learned at their father's knee, and he's still there when he's needed. "Dad likes to come out and work, He even though he's lets us do what we want," the affable farmer said. "Dad helps us, but we make our own decisions. Farming is a whole new ball game." He admitted that there is a revolution in farming right now. Unbelievable changes are taking place. The Fox Brothers haven't yet initiated the no-timethods, but, Kaye admits, it's in the future. Until then, they plow and work the ground like they always have. A new tractor was purchased last year at a cost of $75,000.

"If Lehi City passes an ordinances prohibiting the sale of the magazines, we will be happy to abide by that. Our sales will drop considerably, but we will abide by the law." But according to city attorney Ken Rushton, sales of sexually explicit materials are controlled by state law, not city ordinance. And Police Chief William Gibbs worries that a city ordinances banning the sale of the adult magazines would be ruled unconstitutional if it ever came to court. g City council member Dee Fowler feels Lehi has to take some action to end the sale of the magazines. "We should use what authority we do have to discourage it," he said. "If we don't, we are derelict in our duty." Fowler said he planned on urging the city council to pass a resolution opposing the sale of the adult magazines, and then negotiating with the owners of the store to see if they will take them out of the Lehi store. There is some question whether the negotiations will be effective, however. Hansen spells out Circle K Corporation's philosophy on an April 15 memo which outlines the policies mentioned above. Hansen says, "Every individual has a right to their own opinions and set of values in this country.

Ms. Walker says while the policy is to adhere to local ordinances, it is also to offer the magazines to those who want to buy them as long as the sale is not illegal. e Election process begins with mass meetings Mon. The election process gets underway at the grass roots level Monday night as local Republicans and Democrats gather to elect voting district officers and delegates in mass meetings. Meetings will begin at 7 p.m., and will include televised messages from the state chairman of both parties. Meeting locations for Lehi, Cedar Fort arid Fairfield Democrats are listed on page 3. All Lehi Republicans will meet at the Lehi Junior High School, where they will divide into individual districts. Cedar Fort voting Republicans will meet at the Cedar School and Valley Elementary Fairfield Republicans will meet at the home of Labelle Jensen at 17092 W. 1016 North. At the meetings, voting district members will elect voting district officers and delegates to the party's county convention. These delegates are influential in the local election process, since they will narrow the party candidates for different races down to one or two at the county convention. They will also select the delegates to represent local voters at the Republican and Democratic state conventions held later this year.
