"A half year ago I stole a pack of cigarettes and two packages of balloons just to prove that I dared. "The only thing that I'm a fool. proved was I "Please take my apologies and I may rest. Thank this dollar that You" Alas . . . with all the corruption, coverups, swindles, and other crime in high and low places, it is my pleasure as a newsman to report a little bid of good news.

' early 1960s the city added $1 to the $1.50 sewer At charge to cover the cost of garbage pick-uthe same time, or shortly after, it was decided that the city owned refuse dumps was approaching the saturation point, partly due to persons other than city residents using the dump. Permits to use the city dump were issued to all residents who were paying the additional $1 for garbage service. We still have ours. It is Brigham City Refuse Permit No. 3628. This is not written to criticize the mayor or the city council but to advise them of something they may have overlooked. I have known our mayor and all of our councilmen for many years. I am sure they are doing what they think is best for Brigham City and for the people of Brigham City. This writer agrees with Andy that it's really nice to read something like this for a change. "Makes you feel like everything's not in vain," Andy commented. On the police reports their are many shoplifting violations every week.

Thanks alot Andy for sharing this letter with us. stopped by Food King North the other day and store manager Andy Hansen had a story he felt was worth publishing. He received a letter in the mail with a dollar bill in it. The note was addressed to the store. YE OLE SAGE SEZ: Too bad alot more people don't have consciences like the person who wrote this letter. Editor: About two months ago two boys in a white compact car let a small dog out onto the highway in Harper Ward. The small brown terrior type dog ran up and down the highway for about two days and was befriended by a family in Harper Ward. Tiny was a very frightened dog at first but felt the compassion of the lady of the house who has cared for her. You see Tiny was to become a mother. Just over a week ago Tiny gave birth to three puppies. Now this little dog, does not, in reality, belong to the Harper Ward family, it belongs to other people who have seen fit to shift their responsibility onto others. Is there anyone in Brigham City who could now offer a home to a puppy who will be ready for adoption around Christmas? Tiny is going to be spaded so that she wont have anymore unwanted puppies and perhaps she wont be unwanted herself.

Zundel made a speech at the local Rotary club meeting on In discussing, inter alia, the need for library expansion, he made the following remark: The library is inadequate, its a disgrace. What he seems to overlook-i- n this remarkable statement-i-s the fact that the librarys operating budget has been playing a "Cinderella role for far too long. Last years budget was just $7,000, while this years budget is for $16,250, due to some public pressure. Mr. Zundel, as the citys mayor for nearly eight years, had lots of opportunity to suggest that something be done about it, if he and the council thought the library inadequate and a disgrace. g In contrast to the perennial library budgets, lets look at the golf course budget: Last years figures show estimated expenditures of $97,722 against income of about $30,000; this means an operating deficit of $67,000, an amount that could do wonders in making our library adequate. Now let us look at the statement that the library is a disgrace. I may safely say that during the last 10 years I visited the library about 1500 times, but I have yet to find the library a disgrace. I wonder on how many library visits the former, city official based his unkind assessment. Does he think that the whole library is a disgrace, the books, the service, the premises? It is an insult to the library personnel who have had to scrape along on miserly library budget allocations for an overly long time now! I believe that something needs to be done for our library in order to free it froih its Cinderella status. May I therefore suggest that future library budgets be liberal enough to allow for the purchase of new books, since bodes are the important feature of any library. I also believe that at present there is no heed to enlarge the library, since there is enough shelf space, and if there isnt, the situation can easily be books remedied by culling older and worn-ou- t now on the shelves. We need a library that has a sufficient budget for the purchase of new books. The library need not be a showcase like the new city hall. There is also a need for a review, of library salaries here as compared to salaries paid in libraries in other Utah cities. May I invite other opinions on this topical issue in this column, and especially anent Mr. Zundels unkind comment to the effect that our library is a disgrace. penny-pinchin- 1 m frf id SSSIAININC MEMBER -1- 972 (I find the only good thing about November to be Thanksgiving Day.) The afore mentioned $257,000 is not an astronomical figure, and should not be considered as such. The city does have a $90,000 cushion in its back account that it can draw on in emergencies. There are also anticipated taxes to come forth. Other possible sources of revenue await us just around the corner, which brings to mind the problem of a garbage collection fee. While this may be controversial with some people, this is a sound and realistic source of revenue. Perhaps it might serve the public well to realize that the business community, of our city has been paying this fee unbegrudgingly for a good long time. This same business community also pays a higher utility fee, a higher telephone fee, and a higher gas fee than the residing citizen does. It is also this segment of oiir community that Dr. James T. Simper - Editor: We would like to thank the Cadette Girl Scout of Women Voters for and the League Troop the fine service they did in hosting Meet the Candidate night at the high school. We appreciated the opportunity to speak with and listen to the views of our fellow townspeople. Current conditions cannot help but bring out the best in each of us as we work toward a better community and country. 146 Sincerely American Party candidates, John Kendall, mayor De Von Hammer Joann Penrod, council Added garbage fee Editor: In Sundays Box Elder News an article stated that the mayor was considering putting in a $2 per month charge forgarbage service.

Even' they, theNavajos, dont usually have it and that is absolute faith that the Indians will become a great and mighty people. We in Utah and Brigham City have that faith. A study in California was made where some children were picked at random and the teachers were told that they would succeed and progress faster than the other children and they did. No test had been given; they had only given the teacher faith in them which, in turn, gave faith to the students. We have faith in all Indians, not just the Navajos. Why should we be exclusive?

I dare say there are few households in this community who are as solvent or less in debt proportionately than our fine city. On the other hand, it is both good and healthy for any city, business or individual to have to periodically come to grips with its budget. All over fed people should tighten their belts once in a while. Is it rational or appropriate to cast doubt as to the solvency of our community as has been cast? Is it rational or appropriate to cast inadvertent insinuations about such a progressive Uabilty as we now face? No church, no fraternity, no business nor no home can be progressive if it does not have progressive goals to strive for. ' Lets not become lethargic; lets act as we have in the past. Lets get going and stay progressive and continue to be the city the entire state looks up to as they have in the past. This is not intended to individually castigate persons or party. These are solid facts from a solid citizen who desires to see the citizens of Brigham City as proud of their future leaders as they have been of their past leaders. Put debt in perspective began to place this insurmountable debt of Brigham Citys in its proper perspective. The $257,000 indebtedness the city is presently confronted with is not a catastrophe. It should be pointed out that a large part of this is an annual indebtedness this or any other city incurrs this time of year, and is part of its annual budget, the lawm ai any citizen who owns property or pays 723-701- 723-340- contributes 47 percent of its tax base, Whether the fee is $2 per month or $1 per month and acting on this one increase in revenue alone, (which we shouldnt) I would savor to bet sincerely yours, Adolph Kaltwasser, Brigham City. we I estimated income tax has.

It is true that we have been placed on probation due to having an under minimum number enrollment. Some of the reasons for this are as follows. We set high standards and goals for our cadets and unit. This unit has been tabbed as the best unit in the five states that comprise the 11th Naval district. Our cadets participate and win top honors wherever we travel and compete against other units such as we do in San Diego, rifle and Calif., each spring. We have a drill team as well as a group of cadets who participate in a rigorous outdoor physical challenge program that includes advanced mountaineering and physical fitness. n Another cause is that there is much status of our the cadets. It concerning is NOT TRUE that cadets have a service obligation as some uninformed people keep r, nor saying. There is no obligation do the names of our cadets appear on a secret list in a deep vault in the Pentagon! Many uninformed people believe there is a high cost due to necessary uniforms and equipment. This is also NOT TRUE. All equipment and books are furnished free of charge. The only cost to an individual Cadet is $1.50 per day for three meals when we are on field trips in San Francisco or San Diego.' There are however, many benefits for the cadet who does desire to enter ANY branch of the armed forces. We have cadets attending Annapolis, or on full scholarships to the university of their choice, or who have been enlisted in pay grade three due to their completion of the NJROTC program.
