Show k 2 massive populations during the years 2,000 to 3,000, when food is - ' , Its spring and I see another generation of kids on horseback riding around the streets of the city for lack of a better place to go. This is dangerous and someone is going to get hurt. I wonder what they will turn to when they finally resign themselves to the fact that there is no place in Brigham for them to develop their interest in these fine animals. One place after another designated for them, has given away to industry or parks. Mind you, Im not against either of these. I just feel it is time some of the tax money went into a permanent location, with necessary facilities, to enable these fine people to enjoy their hobby. The John Adams park, at one time, had stalls, an arena and natural environment that was used and enjoyed by many of our people who love horses and enjoy riding and training them. John Adams was a great lover of horses and spent time and money promoting them in their area. The family gave some of this property to the city and now a park bearing his name is off limits, with threats of arrest, if a horse is ridden across it. Has the planning committee ever considered a bridle path in this large area? Many cities have them. An arena was then located out by the old sugar factory. If you dont think it was ever used, you should have been out there on junior posse night. Have you ever watched these kids barrell race or pole bend? They need a place to practice because they enter in competition with other posses in the surrounding area. This has been torn down to make way for industry. It leaves the kids with the grand total of nothing. Our golf course is beautiful. Our swimming pool is great. Our parks are something to really be proud of. Our little league is growing in leaps and bounds. The tennis courts are being added to. Cycle areas have been made available. Snow mobiles are having a big day. If my taxes have been used to provide these facilities I am more than glad and proud of our community for making them available. How about a little of our tax money being used to develop another activity. Do we have to have another group of disappointed kids sell their horses or haul them to Tremonton, Ogden, Hyrum, Logan or Smithfield to be able to use them safely? Maybe we will have to wait until someone with enough money comes in and builds a private arena. This will eliminate many of us because of the expense involved in rental and using fees. A committee, composed of some of our prominent horsemen and representatives from the city council, is now working on possible locations for an arena and what will be needed to facilitate young and old enthusiasts. This time lets not fail. It could be just one more reason why people like to live in Brigham City, Utah. An be things salad, expected to disappear. They have some synthetic stuff in mind that's suppose to contain all like apple meat and pie, You cocoa. Ick, frankly I couldn't see living on something like that. Imagine going into a restaurant and ordering: "I'd like the No. One flavored dinner, strawberry Vitamin B and D, and Cocoa flavored Vitamin C. Oh waiter, why don't you throw in a side order of vanilla flavored Vitamin Z. There is an old army adage: But simple answer to a better reading program is the staggered reading considered by the school board on March 8. Logan School district thought this so effective they enlarged it to include the second and third grade too. What about the problems discussed by the school board members. 1. This will be an inconvenience to parents and especially to working parents. But surely no parent will put convenience ahead of a more effective- reading program for first grade One - children. 2. Other districts have solved the bus problem, surely we are as capable as they. 3. Many authorities in education, including the GeseU Institute, consider a full school day too long for a first grader. In fact it is not uncommon for first grade to go home one hour early. To jump from 2 hours in kindergarten to full day of school is very difficult for many first graders. A staggered reading program would greatly benefit the education of several hundred small children with very little effort or cost. Shouldnt that be our main consideration? Come on parents, dont just support it.. .insist on staggered reading. tossed potatoes, stew, ham and beans, is then is the city permitted to continue to disregard enforcement of the ordinance no. 321 calling for a public works department and Why director? Lets try to get off the dime, gentlemen on the city council, and take immediate action to hire a new director of public works! It would seem to me that we need a director of public works more than that new city hall!

YE OLE SAGE SEZ: Ya can't the children, because they want attention and help from the teacher, who is trying magically to divide her talents equally among thirty children. The fact first graders learn to read can be attributed to the excellent training and dedication of the teachers who dare to tackle first grade.

BOX EIDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah Thursday, March 16, 1972 Brigham City Get Off the Dime Theyre Grateful Editor: Editor: can parents possibly express enough thanks to concerned friends and townspeople who help out in a crisis? Our boys spent a very long and scary night on the mountain with no knowledge of how many people were searching for them and worrying about them. Many people, some who knew the boys and some who didnt, gave up a nights sleep, a days work and a lot of gasoline expense to join the search. May we express our thanks to the Box Elder County Sheriffs department and the Jeep Patrol for the thorough and efficient way in which they handled the search. As the hours went by, we knew every thing possible was being done, and we were very impressed with the methods being used. We certainly appreciated the use of the big spotlight furnished by Mr. Norm Thompson of How KBUH. We would also like to thank the members of the Brigham City Fire department and all the concerned friends and relatives who came to help, and the many friends and neighbors who called and came by the house, it surely made a - heavy load lighter. Its wonderful to live in a community where a person can give a plea for help and get such a tremendous response. Thanks again, to everyone. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Jensen and Brad and Van Insist on Staggered Reading! Editor: Have you ever visited first grade during reading period? It is often a frustrating time for Once upon a time this city used to have both a city engineer and a director of public works who must be a professional engineer licensed by the state. The post of city engineer has been vacant since and the office of director of public works has not been filled since Just how much longer are our city dads going to drag their collective feet in hiring a new director of public works? Taxpayers, naturally, are entitled to expect the most efficient operation of the city affairs and a professional engineer as the public works director plays a very vital role in that respect. At least the Democrats did think so when they stated in Plant 9 of their 1971 platform that they would like to see the position of the director of public works filled, as per tenor of the respective city ordinance. May I just briefly cite here in part the Article IX in the Brigham City civil code concerning the creation of the department of public works and the creation of the office of the director of public works, as follows: Section There is hereby created and established a Department of Public Works within the Administrative Branch of the city pre-electio- ELLIS, KANS., REVIEW: Newspapers have three major responsibilities to their readers.
