Presently the fare is subsidized in the three county ACCORDING area by a of one one-quart- percent sales tax. Glenn Goodrich, a member of the WFRC Transportation Com- mittee and UTA Board president, said the transit authority will have to raise fares or increase the rate of the sales tax earmarked for transportation costs. one basis for 15 minutes a day by a trained high school student or adult who has been hired and trained to administer the program. MRS. SCOFFIELD was born Oct. 28, 1885 in the same home in which she still resides in West Kaysville. She remains active and still keeps her spacious home tidy and neat as well as attending her church activities regularly and has time to visit her family, friends and relatives. She is known throughout the area for her beautiful handiwork and with her quick and nimble fingers, the past years she has made well over 100 beautiful quilts of all patterns as well as various other handmade items, each one a piece of art. She is kind, loving and considerate and has a wealth of friends. She has stated many times, her friends are her fortune. SHE fond RECALLS memories of raising her family of 13 children on a farm. Those were the precious years, and she took much pride in each child and their needs. Mrs. Scoffield was bom the daughter of Samuel and Mary Barnes Flint. She was educated in the Kaysville schools. She married George Scoffield who died in 1948. TEN OF HER children are still living and she spends much time visiting with them. Her children are Seymour Mrs. Scoffield, Layton; , Richard (Bessie) Tremonton; Chester Calder-wood- Scoffield. Townsend, Montana; Mrs. Lucille Robbins, Governments in the three counties will be consulted to get feedback on how the mat- ter should be handled, he said. Mr. Goodrich said that if seat on every bus, we would be touching only about 10 percent of the people. He said this statistic leads him to the conclusion that an increase in fare would be a better alternative than increasing the percentage of sales tax support.

After being trained, or programmed, to give the child the correct schools try to hire the high school students first. Then they accept applications from college students and adults. Some tutor as many as 14 students. MR. CAMMACK said that no additional rooms are needed for the tutoring All they need is a quiet space process. where they can sit side by side for 15 minutes a day. That quiet space could be in the back of the room, in a hall, or a health room. We have even used the furnace' room if there was no other space, Mr. Cammack said. In some cases an empty class room is available and several pairs of readers work in that room. Good relationships between the child and the tutor are essential, he said. Tutors are paid something, but not very much. The program provided through Title 1 funds is a supplement to the regular reading program. DONNA HARSTON, Title I coordinator, oversees the five reading supervisors who themselves train and supervise the tutors. Three of the supervisors are part-tim- e and work with five schools. The supervisor also correlates materials with the childs regular teacher and provides materials and instructions to the tutor. and The other two tutors are part-tim- e work fewer week days. All supervisors are professional certified teachers. IN ADDITION to the tutorial reading program, two other supplementary readone for kindergarten ing programs children and another for fifth and sixth are also available in grade students schools which qualify for Title I money. The kindergarten program, lasting only ten weeks, helps children to develop concepts necessary to learn to read. The reading supplementary program in the higher grades is based on a diagnostic testing concept which allows additional reading help to students in areas where they are found to be deficient, Mr. Cammack said. NO SPECIAL reading programs are available in secondary schools through Title I, he said. no-fa- re off-pea- By ROSELYN KIRK A review process is currently underway after the completion of a three county 208 Water Quality study which was finalized in September. water quality specialist for the study, said the report is now being reviewed by soil conMICHAEL MINER, servation districts in the Davis, Weber and Morgan counties. The plan, which has already been submitted to the three county Councils of Governments (COGs), must also be reviewed by the forest service, by state agencies and by the 26 cities which are included in the three county area under study. The plan which was funded by a grant through the En- vironmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed plans for water quality control and maintenance in the three county area, Dr. Miner said. ALTHOUGH the study has been completed, the next step in Davis County will be to in the assist county recomthe implementing mendations of the study. The agency has moved into the basement of the Davis County . Library building in Farming-ton- Director of the study is Paul Kelly, planning specialist. ACCORDING to Dr. Miner the next step recommended by the study is to work with the Davis County planning commission to implement plans for water engineering projects. These plans will be available when the county determines that growth in an area makes these engineering projects necessary. Dr. Miner said another project in the Davis County area will be to make an extensive study of ground water problems to see whether health quality standards are being met in developing areas. The team will also make a technical evaluation of storm drain water control plans which are being formulated by the storm water committee, recently or- ganized in the county under the direction of the Davis County COG. 0 ALTHOUGH grant for the FOOD Heins 145 Main, KayBville Across street from Barnes Bank 376-394- 2 Halloween Sale! $ Halloween Candy so pack Chiclets Gum Sweet Treats . 3 Oven Fresh Saltines 00 for for SI ooj the original three-count- y water study has run out, EPA has agreed to allocate additional funds for continued water planning in the three county area.

EPA is looking at Davis County as a pilot project which has resulted from the 208 study, he said. When the additional grant is approved, the agency will receive about to $30,000 continue the implementation water study.

CAMMACK said the tutor spends between 15 to 20 hours learning how to administer the program. No student is ever told that he has read the sentence wrong, he said. Instead the tutors responses are Read the sentence again, or Look at this word again, or the word is blue. Read the word blue. In addition to the positive reinforcement technique the plan also uses a self discovery approach, also a part of the program. The student is asked to skip the word and read the rest of the sentence. Sometimes a context clue in the sentence will tell the student what the possible alternatives over the next six months. Council of MRS.

According to Mr. Cammack, 1,500 school districts nationwide all of whom participate in the programmed tutorial were eligible for reading program selection. He said that Davis was one of the six school districts chosen as a pilot study a year ago. The selection was made on the basis of an evaluation process developed by the district to measure students progress in reading.

He pointed as bad examples, to San Francisco where three-fourtof one percent sales tax goes to mass transit or the plan in Atlanta, Georgia where two percent is required to subsidize the system. In 1976, 63 percent of the UTA revenues were paid by the transit sales tax but projections for the years 0 show that a deficit will result in those years. Although a surplus was reported in 1976, the reports said this surplus might offset the deficit for a few years, but ultimately deficit spending will result.

THE $867,000 grant which originally funded the project over the two year period was provided through the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in an effort to provide a water quality plan for local govern ments. The planning agency was placed under an advisory planning council made up of four elected representatives from each of the three counties which participated in the study. The final report has been submitted to EPA officials in Denver where it is being reviewed. It is also undergoing state review by Governor Mathesons office. DR.
