They are Julie Matheson of Levan, who received a bachelors degree, and John S. Bennion of Nephi, who received a masters degree.

So said Dell Ashworth of Dell commission provided to the chamber last March had been put to use in purchasing advertisements in several magazines. Stowell said the members of the Chamber of Commerce now wish to work on a county-wid- e basis, rather than limiting their efforts to Nephi alone. The commission agreed to donate another $1,000 to go toward local efforts. However, Commission Chairman R. Roscoe Garrett said that the county is still committed to participate in the Six County Panoramaland promotions. The commission also appointed Russell Farrer to be the Juab County representative to the Panoramaland meetings. Farrer will replace Stowell, who has resigned due to his appointment to the Juab School District Board of Education. Brent Gardner of the State Road Commission also met with the Juab Commission to advise them that the new state funding program will ultimately reduce Juabs share of road funds by Ashworth and Associates, the countys architectural firm. Ashworth made an inspection the recently remodeled high school building to determine the extent of construction still to be of completed. In so doing, Ashworth advised the commission that a final carpet payment due Interiors West of Orem should be withheld until a 45 cent per yard adjustment in price is made. The original carpet choice of the commission was later substituted by the contractor, and although the carpet installed is of sufficient quality, Ashworth said some adjustment should be made by the contractor. Since this involved 2,500 square yards of flooring, the county will be credited with $1,125 in savings in the final settlement. Three separate bids covering of- fice furniture purchases by the county were studied by the Commission, after presentations were made by the bidders. However, no decision was made on the bids, pending a study of the furniture and equipments quality. Richard Stowell met with the commission to review insurance struccoverage on county-ownetures. Stowell informed the commission that the new county building is insured for $6.25 million, which represents 80 percent of the total worth of the building. The amount of insurance coverage on the buildings furnishings is to be determined by the commission for further insurance coverage and the commission informed Stowell that they wish to continue their coverage on the old courthouse building until further determination for disposal can be made. As a representative of the Nephi Chamber of Commerce, Sto.well also told the commission that the $1,500 in funds which the ' mi Darin Peterson of Nephi, received his Eagle Scout award Dec. 22 at a court of honor in the Nephi Fourth LDS Ward. Peterson is a freshman at Juab High School, where his favorite subject is physical education. He was a member of the junior varsity football team and is a member of the ninth grade basketball team. He served as a senator and representative in Juab Middle School student government. Peterson has 23 merit badges and the On My Honor award from the LDS Church.

For his Eagle Scout public service project, he painted the bathrooms at the Nephi City ball park. Up until recently, Steve Price was Petersons Scoutmaster. His present Scoutmaster is Lee Scott. A Time to to Gie Thanks for Gardner said that in an effort to make - county' funding more equitable, each county will now be credited with a limit of 2,600 collector road quotas. Since some counties have no collector road systems, Gardner said the old system of apportioning funds was not thought to be fair. The old method was based 45 percent on population, 45 percent on road miles, and 10 percent on land area. This has now been adjusted to 44 percent population, 42 percent on road miles, and 14 percent on land area. Under the new system, Gardner said the county would no longer be required to submit a road plan to the state, but could spend the money as they see fit with the use of a qualified engineer. However, counties are required to use a portion of their funds on new road construction. Gardner said that if no change is made by the state legislature, Juab will lose $3,000 in 1982 and $3,000 in 1983. This lowers the all that is Warmly Greet Family and Friends. Time of Togetherness And a time to Consider the Days of Tomorrow Good, A total of $455,000 in funds to $449,000, which the county will receiv over the next two years. Verl Wilkey and Joseph White met with the commission to request a conditional use permit for a building they jointly own on Sheep Lane. In reviewing the buildings history, .County Attorney Don Eyre, Jr. noted that the owners had been cited for putting up the building in an improper zone, since a zone change had been denied in a previous public hearing. Court action taken on the case was remanded to the Justice of the Peace court on a technicality, and Eyre asked the commission whether or not they wished to take further action against the owners.
