Bounty board sets We appreciate the work of the State Road crews in getting the highways sanded Saturday morning after the storm hit. Sometimes the crews have to work all night when heavy storms occur, and at the same time, we dont give them enough thanks for the work they perform. Sure, we realize they are paid for their services, but during a winter storm, theyre not interested in that pay nearly as much as they are in making the roads as safe as possible for the motorist. -- reg- On the other hand . . . after the kids had trudged to school (those who had to walk instead of riding in their own or parents car) had a little different situation. Perhaps the snow plow Monday morning had traversed other areas before it headed south on main street (well give them the benefit of this doubt) but the kids had u allowed through the snow long before the walks were touched by the blade of the plow. We know, the mans working day starts at 8 a m. and school bells ring along about 8:30! City crews also were out during the morning trying to break through the Saturday-Sunday-Monda- y pack of snow on the city streets, and they had a difficult job getting down to the black-top- .

Headlines of the past week: General Heads Greek Government tagon seizes Oil New Pen- reg We noted on a late TV feature that of Boise, Idaho have homes heated by hot water piped in from hot springs. We could do that, too. All we would need to do is run a pipe line about 50 miles from the hot springs in western Juab County and, with the aid of completely new heating systems in homes and buildings, plus a lot of energy to run several pumping certain areas stations along the way, have the problem competely solved! It has been suggested that another way to solve the energy crisis as to heating, is to bag up some of the hot air being spread around the capitol's corridors, and distribute it to the homeowners. reg Word from our friend, Franklin Keith Brough of the Utah Lung Association says that Christmas seals have been fighting lung disease since 1916 in Utah. Originally the fight was against tuberculosis, but in recent years it has been extended to include a fight against emphysema, air pollution, cigarette smoking which is said to cause lung cancer, and challenges of pediatric lung disease. The Utah Lung Association executive reports that TB is again oh the increase in the state, despite the fight waged for some 66 years. reg Mrs. ItKG reminds us that Ambrose Bierce said: "The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall oer his own bluff." 1J claim times Juabs County Bounty Board will be available to receive evidence and approval of bounty claims from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on the last Monday of each month, according to an announcement made this week by Don Ingram, recently appointed member of the board.

Sherwood, Mayor and Larry The area Harmon, councilman-in-charge- . is changed from that announced several months ago as a possible site for the landfill garbage disposal. According to city officials, the recently approved area is approximately six miles northwest of Nephi, located on property being purchased from Merl McPherson. The site is reached via the Meadow lane (north side of Nephi airport) and in section 23, township 12 south, range 1 west. The eastern portion of the property will be utilized for equipment sheds, and for storage of salvagable junk autos, rather than for use in landfill operations, according to the letter of approval from the state office. The property, the city officials said, is on the foothills of the Dog Valley range, considerable distance west of the drainage creek which flows northward at the bottom of the valley. In commenting on the approval, Lynn M. Thatcher, Deputy Director of Health stated You are to be commended for the diligent manner in which you have proceeded toward resolution of your municipal solid waste problem. The establishment of the new garbage disposal area, contemplated for the spring of 1974, will eliminate the eyesore which has existed for many years northeast of Nephi, and which, despite all efforts of city officials to keep the area cleaned up, has at times become a health hazard to the community, the officials concluded.

School tells energy conservation plans The Juab School District has taken steps to cooperate with federal and state energy conservation guidelines in directions given to school principals and staffs. Thermostats will be turned down to 68 degrees. Principals have been advised to make this a gradual reduction over a period of five or six days, and students Kave been advised that warmer clothing wul be helpful in adjusting to the lower temperatures. Teachers and custodians have been asked to see that all lights are turned off when class rooms are not in use. Windows are to remain closed and other steps are to be taken to reduce drafts and intake of cold air. All drivers of district vehicles have been to observe the 50 mile per hour instructed speed limit in district cars and buses.
