' X, i It appears that reason is emerging as the dominant factor as Utah and specifically, Box Elder School district where we are most directly concerned, try to iron out this matter of determining teacher salaries and other conditions for the coming year. Perhaps it has taken the unpleasant experiences of recent years to temper the feelings and attitudes of all concerned. Nevertheless, emotional responses seemed to have been squelched and we hope permanently so. EVIDENCE IN Point here at home are the continuing sessions between school board and teacher representatives which, though conducted without much fanfare, we trust are engendering the cooperative spirit from which our educational system can 1 profit best. A committee of the Box Elder Education committee is getting a look at the prospective budget figures and board members are quietly considering a list of goals W requests submitted by the BEEA. WE BELIEVE this fits the criteria annaunced this past week by the Utah Education association through its president, Jay L. Nielsen, who stated "LUtimate authority to make policy rests with the hoard of education. Teachers are not asking to make policy - only to take part in discussions that lead to final contract agreements. He made the statement in calling for a teacher contract negotiation law to be adopted in Utah. Governor Calvin L. Rampton cited the need for such a law earlier in the week. is FURTHER, THE GOVERNOR said a measure now being drafted for introduction in the 1969 state legislature. As for the current negotiations here in Box Elder district, we are highly impressed with the make-u- p of the BEEA salary committee. The teacher organization is to be commended for choosing these particular individuals to represent them. good friend of mine, Richard Wight who tutors the tennis team at Box Elder High and himself a fine athlete for some years, confided the other day that he had reached a point of wanting to spectate as much - sometimes more than participate. He sounded remotely like in his famous reference to old soldiers. Do you ever feel that way?" he asked. Being Richards senior in years, could only evoke a feeble and A Mac-Arth- I scratchy You bet! Of course his situation is different from mine. He was good enough to play during his premier Agreed by Richard and myself was that baseball is a good game to watch. And why? Because its slow.

The world is spinning around so fast, most of us are in such ruts, like a bobsled team, that it's good to step off and climb out for the leisurly pace of a basewell-groove- ball game. When a feller can lean back and soak up some sun, when he doesn't have to stand and scream in chorus to a fast break, an icing infraction or a crunching tackle, it's good for his soul, not to mention his digestion.

Some weeks ago we ventured the editorial observation that the only thing sure about this years political campaign for the presidency was its uncertainty. This has proved to be an almost inadequate assessment. Since that time, frontrunner George Romney has dropped from the race and President Johnson really exploded the picture when he exited from the political arena. Now where do we stand? In somewhat of a quandary, it would seem. The two figures whom many predicted would battle for the chief executives post are gone. one-tim- e LEFT ARE A SHOPWORN Republican and two eager Democrats, neither of which appear capable of inspiring general acceptance, and a number of potential but seemingly reluctant candidates standing in the wings on both sides of the party stage. and an outspoken former governor from Alabama who could drain off many votes from persons disatisfied with the other choices.
