At least this is the way it seems for Administrator Margo Eberhard who said addition to the county Tuesday an home should be ready for occupancy by the first of the year. Not only will the addition, constructed on the homes east wing, provide more beds, but it contains space for a beauty shop and therapy room. Of the latter, Mrs. Eberhard said equipment can now be centralized and the home will be able to accomodate more outpatients. Actually, the net gain in resident beds will be 11 since a room which now accomodates five persons will be converted back to its original purpose, that of a day room. It will offer space to watch television, play games and conduct other activity. Also, a room which now is home for two residents will be used for seriously ill persons onlv and will be vacant part of the time. 18-b- Landowners got to say yes door left open for night hunting BE A liberal interpretation of Box Elder countys night hunting ordinance has left the door open to advocates of the nocturnal sport. Sheriff Warren Hyde Tuesday proposed to the county commission a procedure through which night hunters can operate in the county. It involves getting a permit from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, being designated an agent of the landowner where the hunter plans to go and obtaining the sheriffs signature. A county ordinance passed earlier this year banned night hunting except for landowners and their agents, the latter being a protection for livestock owners. If a landowner is willing to fill out an appointment of agent form, it clears the major hurdle for anyone wishing to go afield nocturnally in the county. The sheriff noted that in- - formation such as description of the specific area to be hunted, dates and a description of the hunters vehicle is required. Even with passage of the county ordinance, he said hunters are still out at night. Weve not been giving tickets, just warnings. Were trying to educate them, the sheriff explained. There is still a lot of night hunting going on in western Box Elder near the Nevada border. Livestock in the area is a temptation (to steal). Thats always a worry, Sheriff Hyde said, adding that his men are continuing to patrol. Of the new procedure for clearing night hunters, he opined that a person who goes through this much trouble is going to be a pretty good guy. Only recently the Utah Wildlife board adopted a night hunting regulation which (Continued on Page Seven) The addition wards and a contains four four-bee room for two. v w I d semi-privat- Same Architecture Mrs. Eberhard said the addition was designed to correspond with the remainder of the buildings architecture.

However, this fluctuates and those on the list arent always ready to move in - health conditions change or they may have taken residency in another home. Box Elder county people have a priority when vacancies occur. Well call about a week before and probably wont admit more than a couple of persons a day since there is a great deal of preparation and paper work involved, Mrs. Eberhard explained. She estimated the addition will be fully occupied withing two weeks after its completion. This will bring the home to 74 beds and Mrs. Eberhard said she considers this to be the maximum that can be served by the kitchen and laundry. Further, she said to become large would lose the individuality of which were so proud here. 18 Also Attending Also meeting on the subject were Fred B.

What will become of $79,665 allocated to Elder county by the state for low income housing assistance? This was the question asked at Tuesday's weekly county commission meeting in Brigham City. It was left unanswered. The next step is up to towns and cities in the county, each of which has a piece of the action in Box Elder's total allocation. Brigham City, for example, was apportioned a $39,670 share in the state legislature's recent allocation of a total $3 million. Other municipalities have some coming, too, based on their population. And each has the option of using the money locally or pooling it at the county or regional level.

Two robbers hit man v steal gas A Garland man was slugged in the back of the head by two assailants Monday night while he was filling their automobile with gasoline. The victim, Charles J. Wood, remained in fair condition at the Bear River Valley hospital Wednesday afternoon, suffering from a fractured skull. The incident occurred at Wood's service station just west of Tremonton on U.S. 30. He is a former county commission and a local oil distributor. Two youths, one from Perry and the other from Brigham City, were charged with aggravated robbery, and referred to juvenile court. Youths Release The pair were released to the custody of their parents, according to Box Elder county sheriffs deputies. After knocking Wood out, the assailants fled in their car without paying for the gasoline. Nothing else was reported missing. The victim was hit with what deputies described as a miniature baseball bat about 18 inches long. Minutes later, another vehicle stopped and its occupants discovered Wood unconscious. Law Officers Called Tremonton Police Patrolman Bryce Hunsaker arrived at the scene shortly afterwards, and the sheriffs office was called at about 11:30 p.m. At about 2 a.m. Tuesday the Perry teen reported to Brigham City police that he was one of the two youths involved.
