A special thanks to community schools who the meet with the Golden Spike Track club. With the success of this years meet and the Increased participation, we can look forward to the continued success of this event next year. Especially inspirational was the participation of three runners in the senior age group who made such an excellent showing. Their vigor, youthful appearance and enthusiasm were a thrill to all who attended. We certainly were proud to have them with us at this time and look forward to seeing them again next year. John D. Ensign, President, Golden Spike Track Club Won't you help? What about pond? theatre for the community where they could see young people growing and becoming contributing adults in the community. Dont let it die! cilman Knudson, to spend a little less time on putting Brigham City fluoridation on the map statewide and to channel his very many fine talents into thinking how the city can get rid of its cash flow problem. Just the other day a reporter from the Deseret News came to my house and chatted with me about fluoridation. I wish I knew who sent him to me. He told me that Mr. Kelly had just given him a guided tour through the fluoridation house and that he had been admitted to this off limits facility by arrangement with Mayor Felt and Councilman Knudson. I dont know whether he will be the last. We surely dont want to make this unique facility a shrine, a mecca, a encynosure for every Tom Dick or thusiast. Please always remember that they have kept me out of there all these years, and I happen to be a citizen here. In my efforts over the years to try to monitor this system as best I could, I have always tried to act responsibly without hitting below the belt. As a matter of fact, if you came to know me more intimately, you would find that I am not the ogre or enfant terrible that you may take me for but rather a very pussycat purring to entertain, amuse, and inform you in this column. If I were a dentist, I would, of course, be for fluoridation, too; I would have to be. Sincerely, Dixie Lewis West Jordon, Utah Chamber says 'thanks' Editor: Harry-fluoridati- We wish to thank everyone who participated in Brigham Citys 70th Annual Peach Days festivities. We were gratified at the fine participation and the quality of each event. Special thanks are in order for Ward Secrist and the fire department for their help in providing standby ambulance service for the high school rodeo. The excellent cooperation given by Jack Hamilton, Max Muir, and the city crews was greatly appreciated. To all of the clubs and the individuals who gave many hours to make this celebration a success, we say THANK YOU. It couldnt have been done without you. soft-heart- Editor: Editor: The overpopulation of dogs and cats is an over whelming problem that is steadily growing worse. It seems evident that pet owners are either unaware or dont care about what can be done to prevent this. The spaying of female animals is the only solution to this problem. We have tried to encourage pet owners to do this when ever possible. As a Humane Society we can only do so much. We are trying to educate the public on the importance of spaying and we are trying to place the unwanted animals for those who have not done so. Unfortunately there are not enough homes available to place them all. To allow these animals to be born unwanted is a crime of society in which the animals are the sufferers. I would like to appeal to the finer instincts of society, to do your part in making this world a place in which animals can live without pain, fear and suffering. This is a problem only society can solve. Please spay your female dogs and cats. Dont allow anymore to suffer for being born. At the present time we have 28 dogs and 47 kittens that need homes. Please wont you help us? Sandy Cannon (President) Golden Spike Humane Society 188 Poplar 3 Phone Brigham City 723-701- Meet better than ever Editor: Utahs second annual Senior Olympics was conducted last Saturday at the Intermountain School track. The increased participation over last years initiation of this activity was evident. Over 50 participated in the various track and field events. Ribbons were given for the first three finishers in each event by age group and three trophies were given for '( the top finishers in each age group. Instrumental in the running of the meet this year was Les ; !,Dunn, meet director and starter, and Jay Stuart, who arranged all the track and field facilities and was judge of finish and bead timer. Thanks also to all those scorers, a timers, judges and recorders who are all so necessary to Today I took my young son for a picnic lunch in Pioneer of the pond, I couldnt help remembering Rodney Jeppsen and his familys grief when he drowned there Aug. 24, 1974. How many more parents must suffer and how many more children must die before the city sees fit to at least post a sign warning against the dangers of that dirty pond. Its very existence is a threat to every child who enters that park. Looking into the murky water Sincerely yours, Adolph Kaltwasser, Brigham City. Ronald L. Frandsen, Greater Brigham City Area Chamber of Commerce Thanks for hospitality park. I want to know what the city intends to do about this situation. As a parent, I have the right to ask and the right to know. Mrs. K. Palazzolo Fluoridation for state? Editor: Last spring Mayor Felt assigned supervision of the city operating departments to himself and the five councilmen. When he failed to assigned a councilman to fluoridation, I told him and the council so, and Councilman Knudson got the assignment. You might say I got him the assignment, and I have heen sorry about it ever since. Have you noted lately how often his name is mentioned, in connection with Brigham City fluoridation news items, in newspapers and on the radio? Just the other day I heard his name mentioned on KLUB-5- 7 radio, SLC. Why all this sudden publicity with regard to BC fluoridation? I can tell you why: Concerted efforts are well under way to condition Utahns outside of Brigham City to adopt fluoridation in their cities and villages all over the state. Our most distinguished and most junior councilman, Dr. Peter C. Knudson, D.D.S., apparently wishes to give the fluoridation system in our fair city as much publicity as possible. He appears to have appointed himself as the spokesman for the whole council in all matters relating to fluoridation study results, system safety checks, etc. When I asked Mayor Zundel at a council meeting once as to who was responsible for the proper operation of the fluoridation system, he told me: Why, Adolph, we all are. That means the whole council. From the way Councilman Knudson has all of a sudden started issuing reports, disclosing results, etc., I assume that he assumes that he is running the fluoridation operation. Well, in that he is certainly mistaken. The mayor told me just recently that the city still had cash flow problems. May I suggest to my friend, Coun Editor: On behalf of the 36th Army band, sponsored by your local Army recruiter of Brigham City, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the people of Brigham City, and the people of the Box Elder county for the response and hospitality you showed the 36th Army band during their recent band concert that took place in our beautiful com- 'BACK munity during the Peach Day. I hope you enjoyed the concert as much as I have enjoyed being able to bring them to you. Im looking forward to your comments on the concert, so that I can pass them on to the commanding general of the 36th Army band, expressing our thanks to them for a job well done. Again I thank you, the people of Brigham City, for letting me contribute to making this Peach Days a very memorable occasion. MM From The Files Of The Box Elder Don't let it die! Editor: Congratulations on your Peach Day activities! It was uplifting to travel back to Brigham and feel the friendliness of old friendships. I was only disappointed to find Palace Playhouse not opening for its second season. Im not aware of the reasons for it being closed. However, I am aware of the sacrifices, the thousands of hours of work, the money, the audiences and the actors who brought life to Palace Playhouse. I care about Mrs. Messervy and her who are Dreams came true trying to wait patiently for the through blood, sweat and tears but the value of Palace Playhouse is that it remains throughout the years.
