The Box Elder Board of Education has promised to reach a decision on the issue at a public meeting scheduled Thursday at Bear River High. the target for accusations associated with misuse ot school funds with some alleging that he did so for personal gain. In connection with this, it is charged that he is responsible for a critical morale problem at the school. A majority of teachers reportedly are his accusers. DR. WOODBURY HAS been However, while the audit did point out that expenditures have been misclassified, no formal complaint has been brought charging criminal intent. And at Wednesdays regular school board meeting, Dr. Woodbury welcomed the opportunity to answer all questions from an audience of citizens, denying that he was guilty of anything more than trying to do the best job he knew how as principal. It thus creates a thorny situation for the board which, in effect, must sit as judge and jury. With all its negative aspects, there is a positive factor emerging and this is the attitude of citizens in the school attendance area. At Wednesdays board meeting, they were not there to take sides, let emotions stampede them, but to ask questions, to seek a clarification of the issue. We were impressed by the maturity which they exercised. It was interesting that the wake of a resounding referendum death for Utahs land use act, Brigham City officials should find themselves facing some rather critical decisions where the city airport is concerned. The situation relates both to planning and zoning. First, city officials learned of Utah Highway department plans to build a lagoon for sewage treatment and the airports north between The lagoon would serve a runway. interstate highway rest stop planned 1-- in the area. HOWEVER, a quick glance at the prepared airport master plan showed that such a some time ago lagoon would clearly conflict with the plan. The area in question is designated for industrial develop- ment. Highway officials will be so notified and hopefully observe city wishes to either build the lagoon west of the highway or, better still, utilize an existing one constructed for a now abandoned service station.

It will be a means of extending friendship of the community, a good neighborly gesture of good will.

I H ...i Never used voting machine Editor: I just got our Box Elder News and I have just read Mrs. Locklins letter about Utah still being in the dark ages when it comes to voting. Ive lived in quite a few states myself. Id almost be willing to bet Ive voted in more states than Marie Locklin has and Ive never used a voting machine in my life. Ive voted from Virginia to Alaska and wherever Ive voted the conditions have been much the same as they are in Utah. My niece was one of the workers in this years election in Portland, Ore. and the voting was done in her neighbors basement. Practically no one could call Oregon backward because it has led the nation in so many ecological projects and has the most progressive governing body in any state. In spite of this being a really great state I miss Utah so much. You see my grandkids live in Perry. Its really very good to be getting the paper. It makes me feel closer to them.
