Anyone who has held an office for a long while and then is relieved knows the emptiness, the missing of the burden, the longing forthe old harness worn for so long it has become a part of living, but the feeling is fleeting. Back in the haU the council standing in a tight circle were discussing the dog problem in town. Mayor Snyder suggested saving the steam for the first council meeting under his regime Monday night. The public is welcome to all the meetings , he said. He is impressed with the calibreofthe councilmen and solicits their cooperation in doing the best for the majority of the people. He also approves the ordinances of the city. We dont need t o make any more ordinances. We need to use and enforce what we have. He is grateful that Nettie and Lucille are remaining. They pledge their support. Ill be at the city council meeting just as I have asked all the Progress correspondents to attend the council meetings in their respective towns and keep us informed on the problems in this new era of expansion and how the council grapples witl. them.

To date the $100checkfrom SCH supervisors given presentation The San Rafael SOD supervisors were given a presentation by Keith Beardall, Conservationist for the soil Conservation service on Resource Conservation and Development ( RC&D). Mr. Bear-da- ll presented a film and spoke briefly a -bout Resource conservation and Development. The Resource RC&D Program was authorized by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1962, It provides opportunities for local units of governments to improve thty eir communities in areas. The four counties in southeastern Utah are now preparing an application for an RC&D Project. The counties included in this area, are Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan. multi-coun- Mr Beardall explained how the program is initiated and supervised by local citi ens. Federal funding and low interest loans are available through a Resource Conservation and Development Program to insure the monetary aspect. It was explained by Mr. Beardall that the success of such a program depends upon the action and Interest of local citizens. He further emphasized the importance of cities and other groups to endorse the program. After discussion, the San Rafael SCD supervisors passed a motion unaminously to sponsor such a program for the benefit of Emery County and the other counties involved, chairman Paul Crawford signed the letter of endorsement for the District. make it to the Electric Lake, but on account of the deep snow were unable to go any farther, sanPete County Sheriff and posse were alerted and they started in from the Sanpete side upFairveiw canyon. Sanpete located them at the cabin at 2;30 a.m. on Dec. 31, 1973. Deon Ward of Huntington and his brother Joe volunteered their help and snowmobiles to help get into the area. Many volunteers went on the search, but because of deep snow and still snowing were forced to turn around at Electric Lake and returned to the area where the cars were parked. County Road employees assisting were: Vem Leamaster, Neal Rasmussen, Ned Christensen, Richard Borba, Elbert Behu-n- in and Glendon Caldwell, Sheriffs department were; sheriff Jack Leamaster, Chief Deputy LaMar Guy-mand Deputy Jack Funk.

Sheriff Leamaster stated, The help of the Utah Highway Patrol dispatchers, in making phone calls for us and keeping us advised was a great help and appreciated. They had helped make arrangements for a C.A.P. plane to fly for us, weather permitting, and had lined up two snow cats and checked for a helicopter. Communications is one of the most important part of a search, where you can keep in contact with all the men and dispatcher on a search. A special thanks to everyone who helped in the search and to Deon Ward and joe for the snowmobiles. The Nelsons called and wanted to thank everyone who helped in the search.

Gerald notes that the office can only handle January and February license plates on the new staggered system. After this year all trucks will come due in January. If you bought a car in October, the license fees will be due next October and the plate will bear the number ten. Other months of the years will be designated in numberlcal order of the calendar. eep snow hampers rescue efforts Sheriff Leamaster was notified that Vorrls and Orville Nelson had taken their families on snowmobiles to the Little Huntington summer Home area. They left their vehicles at the end of the oiled road en ts, due present. Caraleen Andrews and her Blazer boys were sitting in chairs and lined up against the wall. They were to witness a civic event as credit on a community skill award. Im sure some of the boys had never been in the city hall before, the way they were taking in the long council table, the mural of beautifications awards, and being so quiet.

Vehicle Had my first crack at a municipal inauguration Monday m the quaint little Huntington City Hall. When I arrived, Nettie Rowley, the council Rock of Gibraltor for twenty two years was siftingthroughsome town maps, helping to wind up affairs for Mayor McArthur, next to enter. Kendall Mortensen and Bob swineburn arrived from their teaching jobs; Myron Grange and Ted McCandless, price school teach r, entered the room, Mayor McArthur made ready to conduct the ceremony of administering the oath ofallegiancetocity an to the constitution of the United states and Utah. It was a poignant scene. The passing of authority from a native son who had worn the mayors shoes for eight years and now must take them off and strip them on the feet of the chairman of the city council, figuratively speaking. Only one who has served the public in similar capacity knows how the shoes pinch, squeak and travel. Each new official has to wear them awhile to break them in anew. The significance of the oath was felt by both parties as the glory and the responsibility settled about Red, naturally idays. Male and female registered licensed practical nurses fly hi frequerth with Dr. Hooker to assist and receive experience in rural medical service.

All interested people from Carbon and Fmery Counties will meet with him there. Rolling back thirty -- two years to the town of Kenilworth, I picture my next door neighbors, Bessie and shirl McArthur and a golden haried moppet, Shirley. Shirl had an air of authority about him even then as I saw him striding out the door with his lunch bucket bound for the mine.He was section boss. Personally, I thought he was kind of an ornery cuss because he seldom exchanged pleasantries over the fence; I found out later he was spending much time studying. Their second daughter was bom in the spring before they moved to Orangeville where Shirl became superintendent of Desert Coal Mine. We heard a third daughter, Sharol had joined the family and then about the successive births of three sons, Scott, Stuart, and shane. We figuered shirl was bouncing shirt buttons all over the place as a proud and a grarJfather five tidoting father; now mes. Not until we moved to Huntington in 1965 did we catch up with the McArthurs again, finding that shirl was running for mayor envisioning and predicting Emerys potential as an industrial county when most of us were resigned to barely eking out a living. Not until I started to cover city council meetings about four years ago little did I realize what a headache it is to administer city affairs, listen to the reviling and complaints; face the pressures of extending services with the revenue not keeping pace with the demands. Glancing through my city co'incil notes I find facts on sewer lagoon proposal and rejection, amiexation for greater revenue, engineering firm hired for water system survey and recommendations, federal grants applied for, dog problems, first full time piolice officer, first police car in city, fire engine ujigraded, park improvements, including two new rest rooms, two new parks, beautification efforts lauded, airport upgrading, water mains enlarged, tax levy lowered from 28 to 16 mills, two miles of additional water lines laid, sprinkling system at cemetery enlarged and fence Installed, road improvements and oil casing pipe protested and re- jected, federal funding denied, pipe shortages, and miles of other details show tri umphs and frustrations which mark the way of Mayor McArthurs eight years as Mayor of Huntington, largest and fastest growing town in Emery County. His rapport with his council and Nettie Rowley, Recorder and I ucille Kinder, Treasurer was notable. In fact, shirl has become a successful public relations man, noted for affability and acumen in dealings with mining heads throughout the nation, industrialists interested in Emery's raw materials and manpower; and as a religious leader and speaker throughout the st- ake. Shirls generosity and personal equipment have saved the city much. His grader has been at the airport forthiee weeks. His equipment clears off the snow about the church and for other purposes. He has contributed generously to the park projects and many otiiers. He has put his car at disposal for official town business, eaten up his annual salary of $100.00 by city business phone calls he would not charge to the city, and been kind, thoughtful and considerate of the welfare of his colleagues. Shirl has worked to create opportunities and openings fo worthy young people in the area. (Insisting on hair cuts first, His goals are being accomplished through hard work and perserverance, Ofttimes his diverse positions have demanded expertise as a juggler and shuttled him air borne from west to east and back, while uppermost in his mind has been the building up of Huntington and Emery County as a fit and supportive area for all to enjoy. As the retiring mayor leaves the post he advises the townspeople and the neighboring communities that eight years ago the city was on the decline. The big cry then was that we must have industry; something to make a living so we can keep our young people home. Bringing industry in has been my concern. Now the situation has reversed itself and ls being fought. It has been my thinking to have Huntington pay Its own way and save all unnecessary regulations. This pwlicy is being opposed by many. One of the first things I tried to do was help Lawrence get water but at that time fin inces and people discouragdd th is. I still feel as I did then and proposed at the time that the only logical solution to the water problem is for the four to- wns, Huntington, Cleveland Lawrence and Elmo to go together on a water system. North Emerys pipe ls running at partial capacity; the water could be metered in and metered out so there would be no question of receiving fair share. This was proised before North Emery system was began and was turned down by many interested people. Federal officials question financing a system parallel to one they have already financed. It is on record that such a proposal was made six years ago but lack of cooperation deleted it. The mayor said the city was meeting January 10, with North Emery Water Users Association. "Why not use the money we are going to spend and help North Emery get out from under their bondage and keep us from ketting in so deep?" If people will stop, think and analyze before listening to propaganda they will realize two facts; we have to get the water to town, and we have to pay for it.' A reserve storage tank would help take care of water needs in town. If we get the water down, we can lay pipe a street at a time; do the work as finances allows with the ultimate goal of having it paid for.' He noted that there are two streets in town (n bad shapie pressure wise. "I think it is dishonest to get something from the government knowing we are never going to pay it back. It ls dishonest for the governments to take us for something we arent going to get. It is his philosophy and belief that we will be held accountable for our own art-vo- ns. sensed his responsibility citizen, the mayorship would beaha-PP- y job.

In 1965 the city was under financial obligation and how it ls debt free with a reserve which will be reflected with the publishing of the city financial statement at the conclusion of the present audit. t -- irTr mum) imw- - |
