I Lowers to the Editor,,. I Officials Dragging Feet Editor: A lad of about nine came up to me and held a $5 bill and said, Max will $5 help you keep out the Bowl open? On another occasion, three little guys, perhaps seven to nine in age, offered to work for free if itll help keep the Bowl open. On still another occasion, an eight or lad, with the wonderful innocent faith of inexperienced youth, came to me and said, Dont worry Max, the city will find a way to nine-year-o- It's that time of the year again. The family gathers around the conference table to decide where to spend the summer vacation. It's funny to see how husbands and wives come up with different ideas on how to spend the leisure time. Like said to the wife the other a canoe trip down Howabout night," the Colorado River. I "But, But, But, whattabout the smell of fresh trout frying over the fire for breakfast," I said . "What about the sand in the food, snakes, and all that stuff," she reminded.

And the tears arent only on the faces of youngsters as the many many calls I have received are proof of the serious concern of high school students and adults. It is sad that such a splendid recreational activity, enjoyed by literally thousands in our community, and so carefully nurtured for so many years, should end as failure and heartache, and all because of lack of concern by a community and its leaders frozen in the ice of its own indifference. I must say and do acknowledge that Mayor Zundel and the Brigham City council have been more than fair with me in the many requests I have had to make of them over the years. However, in all honesty I feel they are dragging their feet on the current matter of operating the Bowl as a municipally-owne- d recreation. For the life of me, I cant see the difference of operating a golf course or a bowling facility. Particularly when bowling participants outnumber golfers. I issue a friendly challenge to the mayor or any member of the council to debate the issue with me either on a TV or radio program or at the community center or on Main and Forest streets. If I should successfully complete negotiations and sell the property on May IS, to lets say for example a discount store, the profits would all go out of town and state, and tens of thousands of dollars that are now spent in Brigham City by " local boilers Would also be funneled into Ogden. ' But aside from the money, what about the many hundreds of youngsters and families? And there is no way of measuring the loss of prestige. I spoke to Mayor Zundel on Tuesday, April 25, to a letter inviting the this talk was a follow-u- p to the a public bowlers council attend and mayor Bowl. 26 the on at April meeting Mayor Zundel explained he was committed and would be unable to attend the meeting, but requested me to give a message to those attending the meeting that he was very much concerned, and that after the budget business was out of the way on May 4 he would have some breathing room and wuld then get together with me and see what could be worked out on the bowling problem. It is now 1 a.m. Wednesday, May 10, and I still have not heard from the mayor with regards to a meeting. I hope he calls before I leave for die coast early on May 15. "We may not even see another person for days." "Ick ... sounds terrible," she countered. "Let's go to Vegas and spend the entire vacation by a swimming pool," she said. couldn't believe my ears. Could you imagine anyone wanting to spend their vacations in the city. "If ya don't like the river trip let's backpack for a couple of weeks in the high Unitahs, or the Wind Rivers I There are a couple of great ideas. Imagine being the first family to walk through the entire national park, thought. "Nope, I can't walk that fast ... your vacation's not long enough," the wife said. Wei I, let's go to the beach. can go surfing and you can sit on the beach. Okay, she said. YE OLE SAGE SEZ: We should just backpack to a motel In Vegas and put a canoe in the swimming I Max E.

The county officials were reminded that the Initial year of the federally-funde- d public employment program will end Aug. 30. However, Joseph M. Osoro, PEP director for Utah, said its assumed that funding for a second year will be a great and perhaps more. However, in a letter and accompanying questionnaire, he added quickly, Please do not expect more money. The program is intended to create jobs while enabling county and municipal governments to benefit from the services of additional employes. Little Changed A new agreement, little changed from the old one, was approved between the county and state forester, establishing lines of cooperation between county and state for wildland fire protection. On hand to present and discuss the pact were Paul Sjoblom, state forester, and Warren L. White, Bear River area forester. The state will continue to loan surplus fire trucks to the county in return for which these units are placed at various locations and maintained for fire fighting purposes. In addition, the state agrees to pay the salary of the district fire warden during the summer months. Sjoblom said the salary consideration is made to only two other counties in the state and is based on cooperation and efforts of the county in fire control. Can Use Truck He mentioned also that Garland has use of a truck now located at the Brigham City airport, a unit which the city has equipped with a plow for snow removal service. The forester said the truck is not maintained and generally is inoperable, calling it a prime rig for wildland fire fighting.

SCHOLARSHIP with 1,000 gallon tank. Sjoblom said it had been agreed to let the truck remain at the airport until August so the city can acquire a replacement. But its kind of silly just to let it stand idle. If theyre not interested in keeping it maintained for fire fighting, then wed just as soon place it where it would be used, he stated. Owners Concerned Mr. and Mrs. Peter T. Mcllvried, owners of Hot Springs Mobile Home park, said they were concerned at indications that property just north of their place (across Warren road) will be developed as a trailer park. They said their prime concern was pollution that might occur at their facility as a result of sewage disposal In a neighboring trailer park since drainage moves that way. Commission Chairman Don Chase said he met with a man about two months ago who talked about establishing an overnight trailer park. However, before he can do so, It's necessary to acquire a permit from the commission. And before a permit is issued, the matter would be referred to the county planning commission for its and the builder would have to comply with the county mobile home ordinance. Until this is done, they can't turn a shovel full of dirt, the chairman explained. On Elections Reed Hadfield, attorney, and Jay Hall, Resource Conservation and Development, met relative to elections for Belmont and Tremonton-GarlanDrainage districts. Thayne Jones, Barnes Equipment, Tremonton, protested that his firm had not been given a fair break in recent bidding by the county for a backhoe tractor. A bid of $17,317 was accepted from The Brigham Tryck and Implement. Barnes bid wgs $17,496, However, Jones argued that his bid included a cab while the other bid did not. Jones said his bid without the enclosed cab would have been $851 cheaper. It deserves to be he charged, complaining that the county never buys anything from his company. Chase said he and Ed Silvester, county road supervisor, decided the low bidder had the best equipment. Commissioner Malcolm C. Young said there wasnt much that could be done since the bid had been awarded. d fully-enclose- d re-bi- Elementary Students Await Concert Set Saturday Afternoon Feature DIRECTOR Hardy was - Mrs. Dee named area director for UDW.
