Show t 2 a cr f BOX ELDER NEWS, Brigham Sunday, June 6, 1971 terms by a Supreme Court judge yesterday on charges of armed robbery. On politics A rift developed last night between labors two chief spokesmen on primary industry over sale of Australian-mad- e sugar can harvesters to Cuba. On the economy World Bank the end of last at figures released year showed Australia, in terms of City, U.'ah Dump Problem Deserves Action letter received from a Bear River City man this past week in complaint of conditions at the town dump, begs a look at Box Elder countys . . . A overall waste disposal picture. At the present time, most communities have their individual dumping grounds. Such an arrangement is convenient since it means a resident doesnt have to travel far to red himself of garbage and other unwanted refuse. But obviously, an open dump is not a towns most attractive feature and in fact, as pointed out in the mans letter, it can be a problem source, e.g., an eyesore, health threat, air polluter and nuisance to adjacent property owners. It appears to this corner that Box Elder county and communities in the more densely populated areas must begin thinking seriously of eliminating these small dumps in favor of centralized landfill operations. THE PRESENT time, Brigham City, in cooperation with the county, operates a landfill west of town. Its use is restricted to Brigham City residents, those living in unincorporated areas and any neighboring towns which choose to participate through agreement with and payment to Brigham City. Thus far only Willard has become a paying partner. Other municipalities have continued to use their own dumps. We suggest the time will never be better than now to call a meeting of the county council of governments (community leaders) to discuss this situation and to chart a unified course for the AT future. IT IS TIMELY BECAUSE initiation of a new landfill operation is pending in the Tremonton-Garlan- d area on county ground, and because the commission has been asked by Brigham City to play a greater financial role at the county-owne- d landfill west of here, the object being in part to allow its general area use. The county has exhibited awareness and foresight in purchasing acreage for landfills and in its financial aid for such operation thus far. But we believe it must become even more involved in waste disposal both in terms of funding and regulations. COMMISSIONER WILLIAM L. Packer indicated to us this past week that he favors centralized disposal. Hes sensitive to the situation as are his fellow officials. Now the challenge is to come up with a plan of that will attract general support. And as we suggested, this is an opportune time to start. by Bruce dont know why I watch the every night, Pow Wow commented to the missus while parked in front of the TV. What do you mean? she asked I news in response. Well, what have we seen so far ... theres a terrible war... a terrible drug problem ... a terrible mass murder ... a terrible war about to start ... terrible suffering ... everything is terrible.

Don't think the U.S. of A. has a corner on the misery market, however. Even the young land has down under Australia its woes. And you know what? They sound vaguely familiar. Bob Wendel, the local high school science teacher who is spending a couple of years teaching in Bairn-sdalVictoria, dropped me a copy of The Age of Melbourne the other e, day. Thought you might enjoy an Australian newspaper, he noted. I did. There are some definite differences in makeup and style of writing by comparison with our domestic publications. But the content seemed somewhat similar. On crime Four youths, the youngest 15, were goaled for long Mr. Jaeger Wed like to offer welcome to Jerry L. Jaeger, the new superintendent of Intermountain school, who, at age 32 is a young man taking on a big job. Hes scheduled to arrive in Brigham City this week to assume the post which has been vacant for virtually an entire year. It seems the new administrator couldnt have taken over the helm of this largest coeducational boarding school in the Bureau of Indian Affairs system at a more challenging time. THE SCHOOL HAS been under fire this year from Indian militants and now its future is somewhat clouded with transition to a vocational training center seemingly in prospect. Mr. Jaeger is coming to Intermountain, however, with anything but a defeatist attitude. He plans to make it the best school possible and said so in a telephone conversation with the editor on the day his appointment was announced. His record as principal at Ft. Wingate High school (New Mexico) obviously must have been impressive to earn him promotion to this key position. THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT can count on our support and were sure the cooperation and backing of the community and its leaders in his new undertaking. Were proud of Intermountain school and what it has done for the Navajo people and the local area. We believe it has a continuing valuable role to play in the future. professor of architecture said last night. On drugs You can see the condition shes in. If she keeps on the way shes going with drugs theres only one inevitable end, a detective told the Melbourne Magistrates court yesterday. And so on... Bob noted that steel prices went up 10 percent yesterday. Construction workers got a 15 percent increase in N.S.W. (next state). Inflation really serious. Another story says theres plenty of land yet but that prices are spiraling out of proportion. So, if you've a mind to escape from the worries and burdens of our own embattled society, dont figure the land of the marsupials as a total escape. And now that Ive brightened your day, help me to play detective.

It required six to eight weeks. The Burroughs did it in 10 days. Will Use Copy Kerr pointed out that next fall instead of making out new tax notices, a copy of the valuation notice will be fed into the machine which will then compute the taxes. The addressing step will be eliminated. The county official figures this has been a dandy investment. The new equipment will be paid for in three years at no in- terest. It marks To quite a contrast to other machines in the office which range from 10 to 20 years old. Furthermore, they still havent realized its full potential. The Burroughs people have promised to orient the county staff on its use to handle some of the detail work now accomplished by hand in the county clerks office. Already, it has benefited the clerk by freeing a machine now used in making up the county payroll. No wonder they like Lulabelle in the county courthouse. And no wonder they still stand in awe of what she can do and what she wont do if its contrary to her programming. Shes really something.

All Inreconsidering the boards decision to bus Bear River City kindergarten students to Corinne, I wish to supply the following additional information: The financial report prepared by Superintendent Haws on Bear River City school does not quite present a true picture. First, it does not include the impacted aid from the federal of government which approximately the students at Bear River City school qualify one-four- school four-wee- th for. Second, it does not include the amount the district receives in separate funds and grants for such things as the library, including I believe, one-ha- lf of Gaynell Andersens salary as library aide. Third, it does not make allowances for the difference in state A.D.A. formula per kindergarten distribution unit. If these three items dont even out the amount that the Bear River City school pulls in for the district, I suggest a new contract be worked out with the federal government for the use of the school for the migrant children during the summer. I was chocked, as Im sure all the district taxpayers will be, that the district does not receive one penny for the use of this school and all its facilities and equipment. While we all realize that some of the migrant children may need special help to adapt to a changing world, I do not feel that our school district need foot this bill completely. Also, I have received information from a reliable source that the government pays for the use of like school plants and facilities in Idaho for the migrant program. Now, concerning our kindergarten, I find that for the next school year there will be at least 576 kindergarten children in Box Elder county. (This does not include four at Howell and four at Snowville where kindergarten children are combined with first, second, and third grades under one teacher and an aide.) Divided by 24 teacher units, this averages out to 24 students per teacher unit, well above the D.U. of 17 students per teacher, which I understand is the state formula for funding kindergartens. The 24 units allows for separate sessions at Bear River City, Corinne, Fielding, Honeyville, Perry, and Willard and two sessions per day at High Priests Conduct Home Evening High priests of the Brigham City LDS First ward sponsored the June 3 home evening program at Pioneer Memorial Nursing home. George L. Condie presided and Herb Adamson conducted the session. The invocation was offered by Claude Barker and a vocal solo, Beside the Still Waters, was rendered by Harold B. Felt, dergartens. Superintendent Haws said in the school board meeting last Wednesday that the district would save $2,000 by sending our kindergarten students to Corinne, but did not tell us in what way this money will be saved. We feel we would like these costs and savings broken down for us to study I reiterate our intentions of using every possible means to keep the school here in full use and know you will realize that our ten students would mean the loss of one-haof a D.U. in terms of money if we decide to keep them home rather than sending them to Corinne on a continued basis. lf by accompanied Fred L.

There has been a tendency in the past decades toward fewer hours of instruction. Its time the pendulum starts going the other way.
