Wouldnt Accept Them However, Sheriff Hyde initially declared that if the city delivered juveniles to him, he wouldnt accept them. He asked for a clarification of the Juvenile law from the state attorney general, adding that he wouldnt be rushed into this until we get a clarification. Sheriff Hyde informed the commission that it would be necessary to serve him with a writ of mandamus to force acceptance of the juveniles. Instead of me keeping this county clean, it all turns out that Im a lackey, he told the officials. As the discussion heated from that point, Lund attempted to cool tempers and asked the sheriff if he wouldnt help until we get a clarification. Maybe its a case where the sheriff is not responsible but a juvenile officer is needed, Mayor Zundel said. Sheriff Hyde then indicated that if ac companied by a referral form, his department would accept juveniles. Or at least his words were interpreted that way by Lund.; All we want from you today is an answer where to deliver them, Mayor Zundel repeated. I'd suggest you take them to the sheriff's office with a referral form, the county attorney responded. "What must be done will be done, Commission Chairman Don Chase stated. Juveniles from Box Elder county have been detained, when determined that detention is necessary, at facilities in Logan and Roy. Brigham City police have transported juveniles picked up by them in the past. But no more. Mayor Zundel said it places the city in jeopardy to run contrary to the law. He said offenders will be turned over to the county. However, by Wednesday he was still wondering for sure to whom to take them. Commissioner Chase suggested the two attorneys, the sheriff and Police Chief Jay Christensen meet in the matter.; Drapery Class To Start July 1 7 A drapery construction class will begin on July 17.

Local Merchants Cite Waitress smiling native of Tokyo, Japan, whos a home in northern Utah has received the Brigham City Merchants committees Retail Sales award. She is Kiyoko Fujikawa, a waitress at Idle Isle cafe for the past 14 years. The award is made quarterly to recognize courtesy and a pleasant attitude in dealing with the public. Her response to the honor? I just wondered why he picked me. There are so many nice people. the This statement characterizes recipients attitude. She professed a fondness for local people, young and old, and enjoys working at the Idle Isle. Brigham City is warm and friendly. I think this town is just wonderful. I hear it from other people, too, she exclaimed. Mrs. Fujikawa hasnt always felt this A found way, however. When she married Yuzo Fujikawa, serving in the U.S. Air Force, and departed her native land in favor of Honeyville (his home town) it was a brand new life. She suffered from an accute case of home sickness. A couple of visits to Japan and four years later, she went to work at the local cafe and that seemed to help the cure. In fact, two years ago she returned to Tokyo to visit with her late father during a period of illness and determined the capital city was too big and busy to suit her new taste. She returned with an even keener appreciation for her home here. "I dont get home sick very much now, Mrs. Fujikawa said. Three Night Run Community Sunshine. Theaters Little Mary The performance starts this evening 8:30 p.m. In the Box Elder High school auditorium.

Those not obtaining advance tickets will have to wait until ten minutes before curtain time to get their tickets at the door. The best seats of course go on a first-com-e first served basis. Tha story centers around Mary Potts, at Tourists passing through Brigham City at like this northern Utah community least many of them have commented on the friendliness encounter here. Recipients of these kinds remarks are young people who staff the Greater Brigham City Area Chamber of Commerces tourist information center at Eleventh South. "They tell us they think our citys friendly ... the most friendly place theyve been, one reported. There are other things that visitors like (and dont like) locally. They're fond of the shaded picnic area with its tables and nearby restrooms. One California party washed diapers in the restroom, hung them on the fence to dry and gave a toddler a bath in the grounds sprinklers. Use of a converted railroad caboose as the information center also catches their fancy. said one They think its interesting, staff member. Its loved, smiled another. Is Not Loved Mary Sunshine Opens Tonight Youll love Mary Sunshine. Youll love Captain Big Jim Warrington, and Corporal Billy Jester, and Nancy Twinkle and, well youll love every single character in Brigham City Tourists Like Friendly City who has been nicknamed Mary SunIndian her stepby shine father, because Chief she Brown is merry Bear, like sunshine. And she is merry too. Why even the threat of losing her only livelihood, the Colorado Inn, cant dampen her spirits. And shes a hard worker! She earned the money to build the inn by selling her homemade oatmeal cookies!!! But danger lurks just around the corner. The evil and treacherous Yellow Feather, Mary's Indian stepbrother, is being sought by the young men of the United States Forest Rangers. Its a dangerous mission because Yellow Feather has to be apprehended before he catches up with little Mary and has his way with her. There is some confusion though as Nancy, Marys maid, tries to step in and help her sweetheart, Corporal Jester, who has been assigned to take over the mission, should Captain Warrington not return. Amongst all this confusion the play is interspersed with the gaiety and laughter of six young ladies from an eastern finishing school who are spending their vacation at Mary's inn. And as you may imagine their hearts are carried away by the devilishly handsome Forest Rangers. In the end justice triumphs at last and everything is restored to order. A storybook happy ending to a storybook happy play. Dont miss this one. Youll Love Little Mary Sunshine. (See photos Page 10.) But the busy intersection at Eleventh South is not loved. They hate it.. .they get lost.. .its not so bad if you dont mind the constant screech of brakes, were comments of the youthful center personnel. People come in and say things like, I dont know where the heck I am. Can you tell me? The intersection, of course, distributes U.S. 89 and Alternate U.S. traffic to 89, signs for the latter two not necessarily corresponding with road maps. The information center apparently becomes a port in a sea of confusion for some. During June some 4,137 persons stopped at the facility and through the first 10 days of July, the number was 815, according to chamber figures. Its open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will continue so until Labor Day. Most people who stop ask directions to Yellowstone National park but a great number also want to know about Bear River Bird refuge and Golden Spike National Historic site. Busiest time of the day is between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. but the picnic tables are always busy. Ronald L.
