The board of education recently approved a policy supporting more participation and input by the organization. y And at Wednesdays meeting, the board got a taste of what it asked for. PTA leaders from local units and South Box Elder PTA council cranked out a stream of comments and proposals. Among these, they pointed to the need for elementary school counselors and suggested the board review the district policy on married students. (On the latter, the board said it would visit Logan High where a special program to accommodate married students has been established.) semi-monthl- Brigham City street.

The event is being sponsored jointly by the Brigham City League of Women Voters and Cadette Girl Scout Troop 146. It will begin at 8:30 p.m. at a location to be announced later. A spokesman said the open house will provide voters the chance to meet and talk with aspirants for the three city government positions.

The hours will be 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. n in per njile. At the previous meeting, the superintendent had suggested boosting the compensation to 10 cents per mile. However, in light of the districts tight budget and deficit situation, he said the matter should be dropped for the remainder of this school year. The board also will look at the districts total transportation policy at a later date. Lynn Hailing, a district staff member and also town board president of Mantua, said the town board would not oppose selling the old Mantua school house to a private purchaser. The community has used the former school building under lease but considers it a somewhat costly liability. At the same time, the town would like continued use of a major part of the school grounds. Invites Bids It was suggested that bids be invited with a minimum acceptable figure of $10,000. The board has received requests to buy the building. However, board members, hit cold by the development, said they wanted to consider it further before making a decision. house. Randy said Charlie can be let loose and doesnt run away. At the farm the coyote runs up the mountainside and then comes home. At one time when Charlie was living in a shed in the Nelson backyard, she got out, but didnt even run away. Now she has a house of her own. Young Nelson a Box Elder freshman, said he is always receivng comments on how tame Charlie is. she to claim lost pets. The society spokesmen said Dont Raise Allowance In other business Wednesday, Dr. Haws asked the board not to consider raising the allowance of nine cents present car-us- e becoming tame. "She plays with a ball and my friends can come and play with her too, said Randy. "Shes just like a pet dog and we feed her one or more cans of dog food a day, he commented. Sometimes Charlie is even allowed in the Want improvements, residents inform council ther when he encouraged other residents in the city who want their streets included in a special improvement district to submit a petition. He said an attempt will be made in the coming fiscal year to form another district to accommodate them. In other business, the council received a written proposal from the Golden Spike Humane society intended to upgrade the city pound and "bring in line with national humane society standards." Recently proposed and accepted in talks with Police Chief Jay Christensen and Richard Zufelt, animal control officer, were these steps: Fewer animals be destroyed at one time. Dogs not be mixed with cats. Strips be applied to doors to cover cracks. That a sign be placed on the building stating it will be open for one hour daily from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. so that people may look over the animals for adoption or In most cases, coyotes dont cotton to people, even being brought up from a pup. Charlie may be just like a pet doe but theres one difference linking her to the wilds. Right now shes turning colors. She is losing her beautiful red coat for a flashy silver one, now that winter is Other Goals Among the other proposed goals were these: Periodic meetings of the superintendent, district staff and selected teacher representatives to consider curriculum related matters. Plan and implement a program of removing all district budget deficits by the 1977-7- 8 school year. Prepare teachers, administrators and parents for possible future school staffing involving mixed grades. Consider the feasibility of establishing a middle school as a means of returning the ninth grade to the junior high school in the Brigham City area. Plan and implement a more extensive program of communicating with the general public on school matters. Plan and implement a procedure for informing the board on school realted matters. Life Not Easy Life hasnt been too easy for Charlie while getting use to civilization. When she was four months old, the pup jumped out of the family pickup truck and broke a leg. Shes all well now. Charlie is six months old and a remarkable example of a wild animal citizenship. The girls are also pledged to a voter registration are really nice.... at least thats writer feels after meeting Charlies a coyote whos taken up residence at the Bishop Lynn Nelson home at 369 North Third West. Actually shes, yes thats right, she, is taken care of by young Randy Nelson, 14, but is a pet of the whole family. Charlie was found by Randy in Idaho about 20 miles north of Snowville. His father has a farm in that area. Young Nelson said he found the coyote den in May. Charlies mother was sick and the rest of the pups were dead. He took the coyote to a veterinarian in Salt Lake City because it was blind. By feeding Charlie vitamins prescribed by the veterninarian, the animal gained it s sight. New district ahead? A group of northeast Brigham City residents have petitioned again for curb and gutter and paving improvements on their streeet. A petition signed by 24 property owners living on Fifth East between Fourth and Sixth North detailed the request. Spokesman Kenneth Eleven, 461 North Fifth East, said only one property didnt sign the petition. And he pointed out that essentially the same persons had asked for the improvements in July 1970, being led to believe that their street would be included in a 1971 special improvement distirct. Councilman A1 Cazier replied that the citys most recent district was started in 1969, covered five miles and resulted in a to the city. As a considerable costover-ruresult, no further districts have been promoted since. The councils official reaction to this latest petition was to accept it and order the street included in the next district. Mayor Wayne Jensen went a step fur 10 PAGES planning and periodic meetings with PTA leaders. addition, they wanted council approval for two other changes: That animals be held at least five days or more before being destroyed, giving time to advertise their availability. That, as called for in the original building plans, running water troughs be installed. "This will assure that no animal is ever without water and will cut down on the pound masters work," it was stated. The societys statement further asked that the council consider hiring at least part-tim- e help for the pound, or, to approach the county commission to consider expanding services and sharing ex- penses. The society intends to make people more aware of the pound as a place to acquire pets. The council responded by naming Councilman Rudolph Kaiser to work with (Continued on Page Three) Can use old drapes, etc. The drama department at Box Elder High schoo) is moving into a new phase of the theater seasons activities, that of securing costuming materials for their productions.
