Show Rock theft hard issue The San Juan County Commis- sioners have expressed concern over theft of road county materials, particularly gravel chips. Certain persons have taken loads of gravel from county stockpiles at a considerable loss to the Commissioner Bailey said efforts to forestall such theft by posting signs have usually resulted in the theft of the signs county. themselves. The commissioners urge residents to be aware that county road materials are not for free use by citizens. It was brought to the attention of the Commission Monday that the Monticello airport is in deplorable condition. Airport management was informed re- runway lights cently that if that are damaged are not replaced, and other lighting fixed, the airport may have to be closed from night operation. Recentre-pair- s on the runway have greatly aided the operation of the airport, however. The Commission will proceed with making necessary repairs. These may also include resurfacing of runway ramps, the 12-- 15 installation ofasoftwater system, and adding more tiedowns.

Dear Monticello, Once again wed like to take just a minute and say thanks for a great place to live. Our special thanks is for your support of the H Guide Dog Club.

The Monticello Guide Dog Club Much is said by those who feel at liberty to express their views, about the importance of goals and their place in any real ac- complishment. In fact, it is true that unless there are goals, little is accomplished. Even so, there are goals and goals and some of them are not conductive to anything uplifting. A certain gang1 of school kids, Hub calling themselves the a to had establish goal Club, The Hub themselves among The aim was to steal King. caps wherever or whenever they could be snitched. Many are the stories of advenwho have a Wife in every turers port, camp or city. Their goal is to have the longest list of con- quests. Some goals are not so ob- noxious. One dear soul had an urgent goal to get her sparkling wash on the colthes line before her neighbor and many a time she snatched clean sheets and hung them out while the soiled ones washed. In our country, too many are familiar with the goal and art of having the cattle brand changed and feeling the loss. Some goals are funny, even ridiculous. Hog calling contests, and flea frog races, dance and walking marathons and spitting contests, but the one that really shatters the bull is a cow pie throwing contest held in an enterprising city back east. Strangely that illustrious record is held by a lady of no mean ability who tossed her pie 90 feet to win. There is an account of an ancient matriarch whose goal to be well informed led her to listen in avid attention to every newscast. No matter what was happening or who was present when the news came on, nothing could pry her away. When her house caught on fire and the neighbors came to her assistance, she calmly insisted that she would not move an inch until the news was over. An old gentleman had a goal to set his watch every morning at He was in the hospital 6 a.m. with a severe heart attack when he nurse at called his intensive-car- e 6 a.m. to bring him his watch. She protested that he was much too ill to wind it and that she . Give it would do it for. him. here! he demanded. He wound the watch, heaved a great sigh and died. A goal is set to accomplish something with the intent to bring one happiness or satisfaction. If one has guts enough to make a goal, why not make one that is worthwhile? It is just as easy. How about a goal to live until you die. It is not as looney as it sounds. There are many people walking around who have been dead for a long time but not yet buried. They have forgotten how it is to be alive. In contrast there are those near death who are so full of life and joy and love that it is a pleasure to be with them. Their goal is to embellish life as long as they have it. They are the salt and the joy of all society. reports voting record of Rep. Redd and Sen.
