Such community improvements, Bailey said, include developing the first county golf course; the Monticello recreation complex; senior citizen centers; and county libraries. He said when he was mayor of Monticello he joined forces with the mayor of Blanding to successfuly set up a county and city cooperative road financing and maintenance program. He believes that by avoiding duplication of services the program has saved untold dollars and resulted in better roads than those found in most small cities. The program, the only one of its kind in Utah, makes provisions fQr the county to maintain city streets and assume 70 percent of the costs. Bailey said as commissioner he has supported the establishment of a revolving local fund using grant money to assist existing and prospective small businesses. Baileys interests call for the development of tourist facilities and timely completion of the road from Harts Draw to Monticello Lake. Work was completed this summer on 1.5 miles of that road. He said he is one of only a few people on the State Road Commission who are looking out for rural interests. I would hate to see San Juan lose its clout in that area, Bailey said. Bailey is proud of his role in designing and securing funding for the county safety building under construction.

Dear Editor: a former As (1917-1936- ) Blandingite I receive, read and enjoy the San Juan Record each week. Your Coyote Golf story on August 24 was newsworthy and tickled my funny bone. I spend my share of time on the golf course. We do not have Coyote Golf, but Seagull Golf. Often time when a yellow golf ball lands in or near a flock of gulls, they will attack and attempt to carry away the golf ball. Emal P.

With all this pleasure over the situation, it seemed a tranquil, So it uncomplicated affair. might have remained had it not been for an invasion in an adjoining field. It had never happened before, but of a sudden the owner of the field on the south decided that his cattle should be in that particular field. As they passed, bellering, the Barons herd and Mr. B headed on the run from the back of the field toward the highway where the newcomers were passing. The Baron and his family, being at the Manor at the time, were concerned only that the gate may have been left open. Learning that the herders of this new group had closed the gates, it seemed there would be no problem despite all the excitement of the pampered herd. At the time, the fact that there were two bulls among the newcomers was not known by the people at the Manor. Things went well the first day. The next day was a different story. The Baron went to the Manor, only to discover that either Mr. B, or his counterparts, had issued a challenge. That challenged had been accepted. Approximately 200 feet of fence had been knocked down in a struggle to overcome the barrier it represented. The invaders had entered the Manor to continue the battle, as evidence by the injured trees and brush. When the Baron arrived, the two interlopers were .still at the Manor, though they had retired to a neutral comer while Mr.B nursed his wounds. Mr. B was bigger than one of the bulls, but hardly equaled the size of the larger one. However, it was obvious he could have whipped either of them alone. Ganging up had put him at a distinct disadvantage. Wounded and bleeding, he was taking counter. The offenders were driven back to their own territory and the fence hastily mended. In the week or so that followed, the Baron and his family kept close watch on the With battling threesome. cautious effort, they were able to drive the rivals apart. They would hear the chala loud call or lenges offered cry, sounding desperately like a scream with excited pawing of the earth. Large clouds of dust scattered great distances. .From across the fence, the responding challenge was a duplicate. More pawing and ominous rumbling from the throats of those eager to be on with the fight. Then again came the ominous scream. Mr. B had been given a trouncing in his own territory. He was anxious for an opportunity to prove himself.'

It was a touchy situation, the middle of which was not a healthy place to be. The Baron, however, did not fancy Mr. B being so unfairly put upon. Nor did he fancy the fence being tom down again. Grabbing a heavy stick, he got his licks on Mr. Bs nose and drove him away from the dividing line. Then he turned on the bullies willing to repeat the trouncing they had already given. The fire in the Barons eyes must have been visible to the two conspirators. Slowly and grudgingly they backed away and a crisis was averted. Shortyly thereafter, the alien cows were moved to a different field. Peace was restored to the Manor. Mr. B became once again the proud ruler of his harem.
