DITCH COVERED Ufam EM Urges School District The Davis County Library Board Tuesday urged Pavn School District Bernell Superintendent Wrigley to ask the school County board to move rapidly on a decision on purchase of the library building. THE LIBRARY board had voted to purchase the half of the building currently owned by the school board during their June meeting. Superin- tendent Wrigley said the school board has not been able to act on the matter since the agendas have been so crowded with other matters, including a budget hearing The request for urgency came after County Librarian Jeanne Layton told the board that the separation between the library and the schools achas been partially complished The processing center is now functioning as an arm of the library. STILL pending in the separation procedures are decisions on how the building, half owned by the county and half by the school will be dis posed of. The ownership of the library van is still not resolved. Miss layton said Mrs Wilson pushed the school board to make a decision, saying, "We need a decision from the board soon We have a budget to consider and we need to know their plans SUPERINTENDENT said he felt the schools pat cooperated vith the library board He said the matter ill be on the agenda when the school board meets on July 1, but he could not make anj commitment as whether the question oo!d Wrigley be resolved at that time. The school board needs a bit of to think things through, he said.

She doesnt consider a transfer of these benefits as a problem since no transfer of funds, only a MR. COLBERT said his motto is to say nothing and do as much as I can. One of his present projects is to get corpsmen to church on Sunday morning. Each Sunday, he walks through the four dorms at the center and invites the corps-me- n to have an early breakfast and get properly dressed for church. To Son transfer of DURING this training period at Harvard, he worked with a dozen native Indians to assist them in training in this area. But Ralph Colbert never went to India. He joined VISTA instead and was sent to the Weber Basin Civilian Conservation Center in Utah. Ive worked harder since I retired than I ever worked before, but the rewards are greater. There isnt anything that doesnt fascinate me. Perhaps its this fascination that keeps Mr. Colbert young. He refused to reveal his age, saying instead, If you start out with me on a hike at 6 a.m. and hike until 4 p.m., youll know how old I am. time, is involved. IN WORKING through the problem of the ownership of the van, Miss Layton agreed to check with Hollis Grange, secretary of the school board. They wdl flip a coin or draw straw's to determine who will get the present van. The two boards wall share equally in the purchase of another van for the other agency. USUALLY nine to 10 take him up on his invitation, Mr. Colbert says, and attend the church service of their choice. If they feel theyd like to have me go with them, I do. He says he has always been interested in religion, having joined the Christian Science Church in Los Angeles in 1933. He has also initiated a project to distribute Norman Vincent Peals books on The High Time school board would cooperate with the library library board, said it would be necessary to call for a meeting of the county commission, the school board and the library board after the school board makes a decision on the building.

COLBERT enjoys associating with the corpsmen in the dorms. I help them write letters home and encourage them. He admits though that when he first came, the corpsmen avoided him. He now feels a responsibility in helping new enrollees to feel at home in the dorm. One of his projects as a volunteer has been to welcome new corpsmen at the bus station or airport. THIS welcome is followed by a welcome by officials at the center and a tour of center facilities, as well as tours to points of local interest in the community. Corpsmen, ages 16 to 22, come to the center from several western states. Most have dropped out of high school. One of the priority items that Mr. Colbert has pushed at the center is a hiking trail which zigzags up the mountain east of the center. For several years each Saturday morning Mr. Colbert, corps-me- n and other staff members worked in the construction of the hiking trail. d THE PLANS call for falls to mark the entrance to a Bicentennial Park that will begin at the lower level of the trail and extend to one of the upper levels. Much of this project is still in the planning stages, but Mr. Colbert says, At Weber Basin were at work now planning for the Also for the Bicentennial, corpsmen worked on improving the entry way to the center by constructing a wall in which the name of the center is spelled out. Mr. Colbert pointed to the work with paternal pride. man-create- WHEN Mr. Colbert ended center, his original assign- ment was to assist in main- taining a daily schedule of activities in the gymnasium at the center. This project was extended to include intramurals, on and off the center, in some cases on a community wide basis. Other projects spear-heade- d by Mr. Colbert are Christmas greetings relayed by Ogden Ham Radio Operations between corpsmen and their parents. ANOTHER project is to personalize each corpsmans birthday by a gift and a homemade birthday cake donated by womens organizations in the area. Mr. Colbert was born in Pittsburg, Pa. He served in world war I before he became a school teacher, and, with his wife, operated a private school in Los Angeles for 30 years. He has three children and 10 grandchildren, but continues to live not with his family, but in a small rock house at the center. THE HOUSE, which dates back to 1885, has been restored to house several of the instructors at the center. The house was part of an old military installation. Military Springs Army Camp, which was once located where the center now stands. A current project that Mr. Colbert is working on is the production of a newspaper which would be written by I think corpsmen. its im- portant that corpsmen produce the newspaper themselves. HE SAID as the years have passed each group has shown a higher level of in- Most are very talented if you can get them to expose themselves. telligence. Health Hazards q Summertime Winter is commonly the time for colds and flu and sneezes. But there are some diseases and accidents that do their worst in hot weather. diarrhea and stomach upsets multiply much faster in lukewarm foods, and its important to keep cold foods in refrigeration and to keep hot foods hot. SOME of these are obvious. Sun strokes and heat strokes are more likely to occur in July and August than in January. Too much exposure and too much exercise in the hot sun may produce sun stroke. Prolonged excessive heat, either in or out of doors, can cause heat stroke. In either case it is important to keep the victim cool and call a physician at once. SUNBURN has hospitalized vacationer. Everyone should know, says the American Medical Association, that gradual exposure to the sun, beginning with a few minutes a day, is the recommended course But many of us forget to watch the clock and to take precautions against sunburn in the excitement of the first day at camp or at the seashore. many a THE bacteria that cause in a shallow pan.

Those with sinus or ear trouble should be careful about swimming. Swimmers should make certain that the water is safe from pollution. A CLEAR mountain stream may look attractive. It also may be loaded with germs. And there still are cases of typhoid and disentery from drinking untreated water. Campers can disinfect water by boiling or by commercial disinfectant tablets. If there are horses or cows around, there is likely to be tetanus. Tetanus (lockjaw) is very serious. It can be prevented by injection of tetanus toxoid. If your family hasn't had tetanus boosters recently, get your shots before going to the country. FLIES, roaches, mosquitoes and ticks are troublesome in the hot months. Insecticides and screens usually can keep them under control. In tick country it is important to make a close examination after disrobing and remove all ticks. |
