Sherwood, Jr., said 355 senior citizens (those 58 and older) have been interviewed thus far. The project is intended to reach 90 percent of the county's estimated 3,300 persons in this age bracket. Its ultimate purpose is to help seniors remain in their usual living arrangment and to support them in the life style of their choice to enable them to live independently. This is the study phase. Implementing needed services is expected to come later. Figures released this week related to transportation, nutrition and telephone reassurance.

Another 88 persons eat their food alone. basis, those Projected on a county-wid- e total out to 576 for home meals, 783 for center meals and 818 who eat alone. The food service is one likely to see implementation as a result of the study. Problem Areas "The data received thus far indicates that all three areas may be problem areas," Sherwood stated. However, he was quick to point out that it has not been a random sampling and projections must be qualified to this extent.

Here are figures for the other areas: Walk, 45; depend on Transportation relatives, 24; use a car, 278; stated they did not have convenient transportation, 40, and would not have money to pay for public transportation if it were possible, 37.

The county has $193,829 in its 1973 budget for a jail project plus $36,000 for jail improvements, including $18,000 omnibus crime funds, and conceivably could apply federal revenue sharing funds on the Toe Many Jailed "Presently we feel there are too many people booked into jail unnecessarily, those who could be released on their own recognizance ort gotten out quicker," Smith declared. " As for Box Elder county establishing its own correctional program, he said the population does not warrant the high expense involved not only in physical plant but in necessary professional staff, including psychologist, social workers, etc. , ( project Presents Sketch full-sca- le Commissioner William Packer had several questions about the regional concept, noting that it will require intercounty cooperation. He wondered aloud also about the future of Cache and Rich counties if Box Elder joined with Weber. Could Hold Longer Packer conjectured that if Box Elder did decide to follow SUAs recommendation, it could continue holding prisoners longer than 72 hours until a regional center was completed. A feasibility study reportedly is nearing final stages in Weber county. Earlier in the day, James E. Brown, chairman of the countys law enforcement advisory committee, displayed a sketch of a total complex that could be built on a site seven to 14 acres in size. This reflects committee thinking in recent months and input by Sheriff Warren Hyde. Brown said the committee had received the SUA recommendation only Tuesday and now must reconsider its thinking. Its not that we disagree with the report but we need time to reconsider, he told the commission. The sketch presented by Brown which he said could become a master plan, included structures for the county scuba team and Jeep patrol plus facilities for the mounted posse, a track and ball diamond, garden, building for county vehicles, sheriff's deputy residence and juvenile detention n building and jail structure. "The reason were sold on this is because it doesnt have to be done all at once, the chairman stated. "This is the optimum of what people interested in this kind of thing would like to have, he added. There was no price estimate given. You are to be commended for what youve put into this, you and your committee," Commissioner Chase told him. three-sectio- Another factor raised Tuesday was the availability of about $20,000 from the Utah Law Enforcement Planning agency for architectural services on a new facility here. The money will be lost unless the county gets planning underway by March. I dont see any decision that can be made at this point in time, Commissioner Packer observed. Report Shows Animal Work "People outght to be aware that the animal control officer is doing something, contrary to what some may believe." This statement was made at last weeks regular Brigham City council session as a weekly report was submitted to the council from Richard Zufelt. It showed a variety of complaints and At resulting action taken in each case. There were 17 calls received. They ranged from dogs attacking rabbits to a cat bite complaint. The officer also reported issuing three warnings for dogs running at large. For the week, the officer disposed of 11 ' dogs and one cat at the city pound, located on west Sixth North street.

There are some 1,100 to 1,500 pine cones used in the makeup of the tree which were collected from Brigham City to Provo. Some of the pine cones were gathered from the state capitol, Memory Grove and cemeteries. The pine cones are glued and wired to on the base. Each pine STAND INCLUDED cone has been hand lacquered. Mrs. Jensen designed the tree and the base was built by Vern Christensen. She worked over 100 hours on the project. The tree was donated to the "Festival of Trees and prices were set on all of them.
