If you know of any couple in Utah married 70 years or more, please contact Brent Barlow at 1230 SFLC, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602. Write a short letter indicating the names of the couple, where they presently reside, their Also indicate the name and phone number of the person providing the information if it is other than the couple. You may also call and leave the information at Barlows office at (801) Couples married for seventy years or more are rare. Barlow estimates there are between 50 and 100 couples who have been married for at least 70 years in Utah. So far the commission has been able to locate about 20 of address these couples. One of them has 378-286- 0. Scouting grows as future leaders are developed Last year was an outstanding year of growth in the Boy Scouts of America. Youth membership reached an all time high of 4,757,184, an increase of more than 183,000 which represents a growth of more than Whats behind this surge in 4. membership? According to sur- - veys done by Louis Harris Associates, its strong positive relationships that the Boy Scouts of America has formed with chartered organizations helping them to meet their needs. Membership growth in the Utah National Parks Council is However, the Utah currently National Parks Council has the greatest membership density in the Boy Scouts of America. Over 87 of the total available boys within the council are ages registered. It is interesting to note that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, which sponsors 95 of the units within the council, only sponsors 22.6 of all units within the Boy Scouts of America. They sponsor more units than any other sponsoring organization. Of the 4.8 million youth registered in the Boy Scouts of America, 8.7 are sponsored by the LDS church and 14.2 of those youth reside within the Utah National Parks Council. The Utah National Parks Council is one of 330 such coun- longest married couple in Utah. Barlow states that only five percent of couples in the United States stay married and live long enough to celebrate a fiftieth wedding anniversary. Of an estimated 420,000 married couples in Utah, that would mean about 21,000 have celebrated a golden wedding anniversary. Since less than one percent of the population in the United States lives beyond 85 years, Barlow notes that being married 70 years is a major accomplishment. In the near future, the Governors Commission on Marriage in Utah plans to recognize couples married 70 years or more once they are identified and located. 3. Mona Town Council was asked to determine what the town would require for the fire station and equipment if the Juab County Fire District were to be formed and the buildings and equipment acquired by the Special Service District. John Sutherland and Kevin Young, representing the Mona Volunteer Firefighters, attended council meeting to ask council members what they would be willing to agree to if the district is given the by county taxpayers.

The equipment in one community will be left there unless the community gets a newer and better piece of equipment and another community, also a member of the fire district, wants that older equipment. The fire district would maintain the building and equipment, would pay insurance, and would pay utilities. Lynn said he did not think the price was a problem, and the town may be willing to sell it for a dollar, however he did think it was important to retain part of the fenced property for town use. We do not want the people to be double taxed, said Young. We want you to figure what you want and come up with a dollar amount. The building being used, he reminded the council, was built with grant money and contributions.

The district will add-o- n to the fire station as the money becomes available, said Sutherland. More money will be available, he said, because a fire district can apply for grants for the fire department while the town cannot. In addition, the fire district governing board will determine which needs are stronger and will prioritize those needs over time. Right now, one fire department needs a new engine, he said. That would be at the top of the priority list. Each community will have an equal vote oq the board and each community fire department will have a representative on the board, said Young. No one community will have more power than another because we will all have an equal vote. Nephi will not get priority. Each community fire department will start with what they price, and would provide about 10 loads. s Correspondent That would be about $1,000 for topsoil, said Lynn.
