Editorially Speaking Some problems at the landfill Dumping garbage along side roads is an old problem in Box Elder county and establishing two sanitary landfills has not completely eliminated the practice. In fact, a rsfther common finding of local landfill workers is to discover refuse piled in front of the gate when they arrive in the morning. We supposed these monuments of litter .are there because the dumper found the gate locked and wouldnt be denied his right to get rid of the stuff. The gate was locked, of course, because it was Sunday, a holiday or after hours. THOSE WHO THUS place themselves in the catagory of public nuisance may feel smug about having put something over on them. Even so they have committed a bad deed. Furthermore, the roadside litterer can never be sure that he hasnt left an incriminating piece of evidence a letter, a bill or other identifying item. Box Elder Sheriff Art Redding said its his intention, when such a person is traced, to have him go a back and clean up the mess somewhat embarrassing ex- second offense may perience. bring a citation and the prospect of a A fine up to $299. Wed like to think however, that people will respond and respect the littering law out of a sense of duty and pride as opposed to fear of being caught. Most do. WHILE ON THE subject of the county landfill, specifically the one west of Brigham City, wed like to make a couple of other observations. No, tending to the countrys business certainly comes as no revelation. This been has amply demonstrated for as long as we can remember. To hear it from a man new on Money we don't have just want to remind my colleagues that in spite of the leadership Franklin D. Roosevelt gave us in the 1930s, we still had 17 million people out of work in 1939. It took World War II to end the depression that started in Austria in 1928, when the Austrians were doing precisely what we are doing in this Congress and have been doing in this Congress for 40 years, through Republicans and Democrats alike spending money we do not have. There is no way this is going to Sen. Bary Goldwater work. I here . . . the landfill and is intended for the deposit of Christmas trees and boxes. not in front of the gate. does. The fence bordering Forest street is in a bad state of repair. It should be fixed up or removed. Debris litters the entire landfill site, although only a portion of it is used for dumping. One small section of the landfill is not a landfill at all but an open dump with exposed refuse. Junk cars deposited there have been left at the west end, in clear view of passing motorists on A ramshackled wooden building should either be replaced, if serving a use, or removed altogether. There should be one sign at the entrance, not four, particularly when one of them, regarding salvaging, is so deteriorated. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER CONSTRUCTION of an equestrian park now underway on the property, ife seems an appropriate 'time to fix up and clean up. Broadening our view a bit farther, that section of west Forest has come to look like eyesore alley. Visitors traveling to Bear River Bird refuge must really be impressed. Box Elder county should lead out in sprucing up the area with better housekeeping on its property. And across the street, Brigham City can do the same with its old dump ground. Enough said? FreePrisi p NNA SUSTAINING MEMBER -1- Ive niversary: been yesterday. And Mrs. Stokes wasnt even there to hear it. On the subject of generosity, Jessie Hamson of Jessies cafe in Perry, has baked up a nifty idea to Deloris Stokes, a veteran member of the Box Elder Board of Education, discovered Wednesday that even he didnt realize the extent of his generosity. The realization came when representatives of the Rockettes, the cute drill team from Box Elder High school, explained how tough it was to raise enough money to finance a trip to Boise. One thing theyre doing is to sell opportunities on a quarter beef and a quilt. Deloris reasoned as how he should support them by purchasing a ticket or two. So he passed a $10 bill around the table to the girls. And guess what? They sent him back 10 tickets. I was a stranger and ye took me Thanks for help help the Perry Second LDS ward raise money to complete its new chapel.

Editor: A We would like to take this opportunity to thank the policemen that came to our house so quickly at 1 a.m. Dec. 25, 1974, to help us in an emergency for our husband, father andgrandfather, Harold Jess Arbon, during his recent illness and death. We would also like to thank the ambulance attendants for responding to this same call so quickly. The men helping were truly qualified and masterful in their particular jobs. We people living in Brigham City are truly fortunate to have such a qualified police force and an efficient ambulance d men. service, with such Thank you so very much and may the Lord watch over you always. a fine gesture and methinks everyone should want a piece of the action . . . ouch!

But then he tossed the tickets back and told the girls if one was the winner, for them to auction off the prize (a nifty way to raise even more money). Now hes what you call a good sport, right?

There are some good things and some bad things about the operation. The county has hardsurfaced a road leading to the dumping area and those operating equipment there take pride in doing a good job. However, just because it is a dumping site doesnt mean that it must look like a dump.

Lucasville, Ohio 45648 OF COURSE, its always easy to criticize, more demanding to offer workable solutions in the same breath. Still, for example, we cannot understand why the U.S. House followed its tradition of recessing for 10 days in observance of Lincolns birthday. And why the Senate, although it ostensibly remained in session, couldnt muster enough members to really function. It was our understanding that now is a time for critical decisions concerning the nations economy and energy conservation; not a time as usual. for non-busine- ss THOSE WHO contend that our form of government moves at a slow pace and so we must exercise patience, can take solace in the snell concept. And we understand the legislative process takes time. But the dimensions of our petroleum problem were laid out well over a year ago. And still we have no firm policy, no set direce tion on a basis to cope with the situation. Thats not slow, its neutral. Fifth in series How can a child have such a problem? This is the fifth in a series of six articles on dental health published by the Box Elder l, in cooperation with the First District Dental society, in observance of News-Journa- National Children's Health Week, Feb. Dental 2-- The dentist says our has gum disease. How can a child so young have such a problem? While its true that periodontal (gum) disease is more prevalent among adults, many children, unfortunately, also have some form of this disease. Periodontal disease nor- mally develops in two states. Symptoms of the early stage, called gingivitis, are swollen and inflamed gums which may bleed easily. A more advanced stage, periodontitis, involves both the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. If left untreated, this destructive form of periodontal disease will destroy the bone and cause the teeth to loosen. irritants cause the tissues to become red, puffy, sore and likely to bleed. If plaque is not removed daily, it can harden and develop into calculus (tartar). As CHIEF VILLAIN is bacterial a stocky film of plaque calculus builds up, the gums separate from the teeth, leaving pockets or spaces between the teeth and gums that fill up with bacteria and eventually pus. An insidious part of the disease is that it does not occur overnight. Sometimes it takes years of chronic irritation to develop. the plaque builds up on the teeth along the gum line, bacterial can be treated, and the sooner the treatment is started the harmful bacteria that constantly forms in the mouth. As PERIODONTAL DISEASE periodontal problems children. They recognize thai major protion of adult gt problems undoubtedly stc from unchecked cases childhood gingivitis.
