Those on the Republican side have more contests to decide but Democrats boast added interest of the only county-levmatch. Most county voters will have a hand In trimming the field of candidates for four seats on the Box Elder Board of Education. Only Precinct No. 1 does not have more than two aspirants for the four-yea- r terms. Polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. in each of the countys 52 voting districts. A list of the polling places can be found on Page 2 of todays News. el Voters are reminded that voting districts generally correspond with LDS ward boundaries. There are indications of strong interest in the primary election. An estimated project by architect Ralph Edwards. The schedule includes Oct. 26 as the bid advertisement date with another progress report due Oct. 19. Officials also approved some design modifications in the proposed building. Included were two additional interior stairways at each end of the structure and a heavy concrete main floor to give the basement a higher degree of fallout shelter efficiency. In addition, Edwards pointed out that the outside appearance has been altered by an external projection of the vault wall. This plus an outside expression of the new west stairway, modify the original, design which drew some criticism because of its boxy appearance. Edwards said he was sticking by his Minerals Probe Pact Announced Apache Silver and Oil company, Inc., of Salt Lake City, has entered into an exploration agreement with Humble Oil prospect in company on its silver-coppthe Lucin Mining district of Box Elder county. Under the contract, Humble has agreed to pay Apache minimum annual royalties totaling $20,000 for the first years and has agreed to spend $45,000 in exploration and development during the period. Apache will retain a one percent royalty on gross value. persons have Attended Ricks The new queen is 6 with green eyes who attended Ricks college this past year.

Clerk K.B. Olsen said a comparatively 145 as heavy number of absentee ballots of the end of the week have been issued. However, Olsen was not overly optimistic about prospects for an unusually large voter response. In taking out election supplies;' he said the comment most often heard was that many of those on the ballot are not well known locally. The state school board candidates are a mystery. Thiokol Gets New Funding Thiokol Chemical corporation in Box Elder county has been awarded Increment funding of $3,064,026, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett said Thursday. The Navy contract is for labor, materials, equipment and facilities in support of the designed goals of the Agile missile propulsion program. Based on the comments Ive heard, there simply arent enough local people to create interest," the clerk stated. . Neednt Declare It is not necessary this year for voters to declare their party preference. Theyll receive both ballots Republican and Democratic and mark one, throwing the other one away. Olsen said that voters should be aware of instructions on the ballot. They are to vote for one candidate only for each position. Even if there are as many as six names for school board, still only vote for one, he emphasized. Vote results will be tabulated as they are received in the clerks office election night. These will be recorded on large boards in the main lobby of the county courthouse for the public to see. This time we hope to keep the general public out of the office so well have less confusion, fewer interruptions and smaller chance for errors, the county clerk explained. The Box Elder News and Journal will not hold an election night party until the final balloting on Nov. 7 when it will offer latest results. Absentee ballots will be accepted in the clerks office until the day before election. However, a request for absentee ballot must be signed by the person making the request, not some one else. Olsen said it should take comparatively little time to complete a primary ballot. Four Contests Republicans have four partisan contests to decide. They are the following: U.S. representative Joe Harvey Ferguson and Robert K. (Bob) Wolthius. Secretary of state A.F. (Fred) Becker and William E. Dunn. Gerald R. Hansen and State auditor David Smith Monson. Sid Lamboure and State treasurer Sherman J. Preece. Democrats will pick finalists in two races: County commission (two years) William D. (Bill) Burton and William L. Packer. Linn J. Baker and State auditor Joseph F. Elder. All Box Elder voters will have an opportunity to help pare a field of three candidates seeking election to a two-yeterm on the Utah State Board of Education from District No. 4 (Box Elder, Cache, Weber, Morgan, Rich counties). The hopefuls are Jesse Anderson, Jerry Crouch and Norman Lynn Taylor. Only other contests will be for the nonpartisan Box Elder Board of Education (Continued on Page Two) Y Eldon Swenson views new board on which jobs are listed at the Brigham City Employment Security office. NEW SERVICE Yourself Service Offered at BC Job Office' Do It A new placement program has been initiated by the Brigham City Employment Security office, giving job seekers access to all job opportunities available in a process. Known as Job Information Delivery System (JIDS), it also benefits employers by having their unfilled positions exposed to the maximum number of applicants. The program involves a large board on the north wall of the employment office on e which all available and part-tim- e jobs are posted. People looking for work can then come in and check the board for any position for which they feel qualified and then make application. full-tim- Ten Cities JIDS, which was pioneered by the Department of Labor in 10 selected cities in the country with much success, is based on the premise that given adequate information about available opportunities, many people are capable of securing employment with a minimum of . 1 S it. When an employer needs a position filled, the employment security office searches their computer files for applicants with the appropriate skills and at the same time posts the position on the new board for new applicants as they walk in. the Key to me success oi tms new JIDS program, according to Godfrey, is employers listing job openings with the Brigham City Employment Security office. If the employers list their openings with the employment office, it helps applicants find work faster and saves the employer money since it costs him in when a job is left vacant. Also, the new JIDS board is divided into nine major job categories, professional, (Continued on Page Two) Center One of Utahs Best original estimate of $458,400 but wanted a 10 percent leeway included for possible building cost increases.

The local school is one of three spotlighted in the state as having exemplary media systems. It joins Brighton High school and Delta Elementary school as Utah's best examples of what media should be at the three school levels. Each is the subject for work and pictorial display in a new publication recently distributed by the state board. Factors in the success of the featured centers have been the cooperation and teamwork of the administrator, the teachers and the media coordinator of the school, combined with the support and encouragement of district staff members. More is involved than facilities, materials, furniture and equipment. There is a spirit and a philosophy of service and function that is a significant departure from the traditional library or study hall. When the vision is caught by students and staff, learning assumes more productive directions and dimensions, wrote State Supt. Walter D. Talbot in the introduction. Brick Colors The council considered brick colors but made no decision as Edwards said, although he preferred a brownish shade, he wanted to ponder it further. The heavier floor is expected to increase the cost by $3,000 to $3,500, the architect reported. Mayor Ole Zundel said he has been advised that state aid may be available for this feature. It was suggested that bids may be more competative in November than at present when contractors are busy. Edwards hinted that it might be advisable to wait until after the first of the year to get prime prices. However, there is a new federal rule which requires projects to be under contract within 120 days after the first bonds are sold. This gives Brigham City until Dec. 31 to get a contractors signature. Mayor Zundel said this requirement is in the bonding agreement and the city should adhere to it. Thus, the Nov. 16 bidding date was set. Of the bonding program, Mayor Zundel said Richard Christensen, Burrows Smith company, had told him never has his firm y seen a bond issue go through as and smoothly as this one. Theyre using it as an example all over the state. He said the council should feel complimented and especially should City Recorder Tolman Burke. hand-somle- lf Canceled Meeting In other business-- , the council canceled its meeting of Sept. 14 so that members can attend the annual Utah League of Cities convention in Salt Lake City. professional help.

Expressed Delight Junior High Principal Robert Morgan expressed delight with the honor. He said much of the credit must go to Mrs. Shirley Jenson, media director, who has been at the school since it opened nearly seven years ago. And Mrs. Jenson in turn, credited Principal Morgan with giving the enthusiastic support that makes progress possible in the media center.
