Nursing Home Committee Urges Support of Hospital Bond Issue Comprehensive Study Shows Great Need for Facilities to Care for Aged and Infirm The Box Elder County Nursing Home committee called for the people of the county, to vote Yes in the Hospital Bond Issue on Nov. 6, Jay W. Oldroyd, committee chairman, reported this week. Oldroyd stated that a comprehensive study conducted by the committee shows there is a great need for facilities to care for the aged and infirm of this county. In making the study, the committee found many of our people were finding it necessary to go to homes outside of the county Local Building Permits Total $80,550, Month Building permits issued by Varnick Hansen, building tor for the City of Brigham, $80,550 for the month of October.

They recommended that local facilities be provided to keep our people and money at home. Tie committee recommended that two buildings be constructed, one in Brigham City, to be and constructed immediately another in the north part of the county to be constructed at a later date. He said that because of our extreme need for a place to care for our aged that federal money is temporarily available that would pay for half of the cost " " of this construction. He said the committee had explored the possibility of having these buildings constructed un der religious auspices, soliciting voluntary contributions, inviting private individuals to construct and operate nursing homes here for profit; as well as to have them constructed by the county with the help of this money that is now available from federal funds. It determined the latter would be more equitable and practical. Oldroyd recalled that this is a county-wid- e project.

Sunday Meeting NOVEMBER 2, 1956 Rules Are Laid Down Vice-Preside- Still Time for Ward Transfers 1. for Scratching Ballots in Tuesday General Election In an opinibn issued this week by Attorney General E. R. Callister, there are several ways to scratch a ballot and any of them will be acceptable to the election judges, it was announced by K. B. Olsen, county clerk. The opinion was handed down at the request of Gov J. Bracken Lee who is the lone candidate on the Citizens for Lee ticket. The following were listed. 1. By avoiding the circles at the top of the party columns entirely, the voter simply places an X in the square at the right of each candidates name the voter selects, on any of the three tickets, being careful not to vote for more than one for each office. 2. By placing an X in either the circle at top of the Republican party column or in the circle at the top of the Democratic party column, but not in both, then placing an X in the square by Gov. Lees name. 3. By following the method outlined in number two and actually scratching out the name of the gubernatorial candidate on the party ticket voted. This merely emphasizes bycalling attention of the counting judges ' 4 to the change. The attorney general cautioned voters that if they place an X in the circle under more than one party emblem, it will void the ballot. This is true even in the case of the Citizens for Lee ticket where there is only - - - . one candidate. - - WINDUP CAMPAIGN Republican party candidates were putting on a whirlwind finale to their campaigning this week, including left to right, George Dewey Clyde, candidate for' governor; Ross C.
