We wish that the people who are running for office in Salt Lake City would stick to their own town and leave the county and the small cities out of their campaign. They would all get beat if they ran out here, anyway. We had a novel experience Monday when two junior high girls, bent on making the most of their humanities course, served a complete German to specially invited guests, mostly faculty memdinner bers. Annette Dahl and Patty rt, studying German language, customs, and cooking as well as history, geography, and economics, undertook an ambitious project that included the preparation and serving of a complete German-style meal. They prepared invitations, menus, and place cards in German and served appetizers and a dinner of German style food, from white grape juice to dessert and candy. Their guests included the school principal, counselors, teachers, and a newspaperman, all of whom declared the girls to be great cooks as well as good students. El-se- pub- lic relations of the State Highway Department have been maintained on a high level because the director of this department has been J. Clark Elmer. We have enjoyed working with Elmer, who has always been cooperative in obtaining information for the Sentinel and has made highway information readily available. We congratulate Mr Elmer on being moved Dec. 1 to the position of assistant of the director of highways. Tuesday is election day they are not to put trash at the curb until the day before the clean-u- p starts, and are warned that trash containers must be at the curb because city vehicles are not permitted to enter private property. Other rules and limitations of the clean-u- p service are detailed In the advertisement appearing in this week's Sentinel and readers are urged to turn to it and familiarize themselves with the times and conditions set forth. The clean-u- p continues for two weeks. Up By Overheard on Main SU: "The Central Utah Project people must be smarter than the highway department they are building their utility line through Jordan Narrows, but the new freeway is going over the Point of the Mountain." In all incorporated municipal- ities, and everywhere there is competition on the ballot. No one's vote Is wasted in a city election, so all eligible voters should go to the polls. For those between the ages of 18 and 21, it will be the first opportunity to vote, and those who clamored for the privilege should turn out and cast their ballots. Midvale voters, who will have an opportunity to vote Tuesday on whether they wish to remain In the Utah Transit Authority organization, will do well to consider the whole picture before they mark their ballot.

Young Kirk was cutting a thick piece of in the saw in the plywood school shop when the blade flipped the wood around and dragged his hand across the whirling blade. quarter-inc- h Thursday, October 28, 1971 Elect 3 councilmen in 5 cities next Tuesday Third class cities of Midvale, Sandy, West Jordan, South Jordan, and Rlverton will vote on whether or not to continue its membership In Utah Transit Authority. Polls will be open from 7 a,m. to 8 p.m., and voting could be heavier than usual because of the fact that this is the first election when 18, 19, and 20 year olds may vote. ' No primary elections were held In any of the south county cities, so candidates do not have this year the preliminary knowledge that primaries sometimes give in voting trends.

The question before voters Tuesday is brief and simple, "Midvale city shall withdraw from the Utah Trans it Authority." Boxes will be provided on the referendum ballot for "yes" or "no" votes. Two years ago a referendum in all areas served by the bus system carried by a wide margin, but the vote was closer in Midvale than in any other area. As soon as the vote carried, the city received a bill from the Utah Trans it Authority covering what UTA calculated was MIdvale's share of the cost of purchasing the bus system plus one year's operation. The calculations were based on route miles within the city limits and were questioned by council members because they bore no relationship to the number of riders, population of the city, tax burden upon the citizens, or any other consideration which councilmen felt was vital to such computation. Several councilmen questioned the council's authority to spend tax money in this way, and Midvale city's entrance into the UTA was delayed for some time before a decision was reached and the assessment finally approved for payment by the council. Even though route mileage in Midvale was reduced to what the council considered is a minimum, each year's assessment by UTA shows an increase, and council members voted to place the question on the ballot at Tuesday's election. Several councilmen have expressed the opinion that they cannot in good faith spend nearly one mill of the city's tax levy for bus service that is obviously used but little. They have expressed the opinion in council meetings that If the people want bus service to continue and are willing to pay for It, as expressed by a majority of "yes" votes Tuesday, the council-me- n will appropriate the money, even though they are not personally convinced that the bus payments are a wise expenditure. Other councilmen believe bus service Is a conto citizens that venience should be maintained at public expense, but they, too, are willing to follow the vote of the people. Many citizens feel that the bus proposition was not adequately explained before the vote two years ago and that many citizens understand the problem better now than when the original vote was taken. Although the original bus proposition carried by popular vote in Sandy, the council did not find it in the public interest to join the UTA, and bus service to Sandy was discontinued after a time. Sandy city then provided a car which has met the bus in Midvale, from bringing passengers Sandy to the bus, and bus riders on to Sandy. The city of Sandy made no charge for this service, paying the cost of the shuttle bus instead of the UTA assessments and has remained out of the UTA organization. Another point which irritated council members was that none of the smaller cities had any representation on "ie UTA board of directors. , Butterf ield Canyon In One of the deaths occurred in Butterf Ield Canyon, west of Herrlman, where other hunters found William Christian Peterson, 59, 110 Plymouth, Salt Lake, at 10:30 a.m. Peterson had been killed by a wound In the lower chest.

The service this year will cost more than $7,000 and members of the council are reluctant to appropriate the money unless the expenditure is specifically authorized by taxpayers. The question on the ballot will be: "Midvale City shall withdraw from the Utah Transit Authority."

Inside, the burglars failed to open a cigarette machine and the safe, but did take the coin box from the Juke box. Police believe the burglars were scared away because there was no attempt to open other machines, and the coinbox from the cash register drawer with about $40 In change was overlooked. The break-i- n was discov- ered at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, by John F. Green, janitor. Officers estimated that the damage to the door and to machines would exceed the amount of loot taken.

The remaining 5.8 miles to' 21st South will be constructed at a later date. The Jordan Aqueduct Is part of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project which will utilize Utah's share of Colorado River water. It Is also the first Central Utah Project construction to be performed on the west side of the Wasatch Mountains. The Central Utah Water Conservancy District Is the sponsor- -, ing agency. An average of 70,000 acre-fe- et of water per year will ultimately be supplied to Salt Lake County through the Jordan aqueduct. The Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District has contracted for gradually increasing deliveries of water up to a maximum In about the year 1990. In the immediate future, completion of the Jordan aque- duct will relieve a present shortage of water on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. The aqueduct will also eliminate the costly alternative of laying pipelines from the present Salt Lake aqueduct across the Jordan River to the west side. The Jordan aqueduct is scheduled for completion In March 1974. An environmental review of the Jordan aqueduct has been conducted. During this review a large number of interested groups and Individuals participated, and many worthwhile suggestions were received.
