Show What's major problem? BE candidates asked The following question was asked candidates for Box Elder county clerk, recorder, attorney and surveyor by the League of Women Voters, with replies submitted by candidates as follows: What do you see as the major problem area under your office and how would you go about solving it? Keith H. Bradbury I know of no major problem in ): the county clerks office; however, I feel it is time for change and think it would be good for the county to have some American party candidates serve in county government. K.B. Olsen The major problem is the constant changing and increasing demands of office personal to keep pace with the added requirements created by new federal and state regulations, new programs and new special districts that have been created as well as additional demands brought on with increased population. To solve the problem, we have our updated accounting and record procedures, ): keeping, improved com- munications and cooperation between departments and we have updated our equipment to increase the quality and capacity of work. We are also engaged in constant training staff. Thurza N. Kingston BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Brigham City, Utah Thursday, October 24, 1974 of Improving the image of public service for Box Elder county. LaWana N. Jensen I dont see any major problems under this office, but I do feel it is time for a change. I would like to work for better government. I feel there is always room for improvement. Margaret R. Evans Problem 1) The speculators selling land in Box e Elder county in pieces certainly is a problem with a lot of these sales to people in Hawaii and Japan. Suggested solution) Some sort of land use planning and guidelines should help. Problem 2) The passing of more laws by the state and federal government to make the counties just errand boys for them. In the last legislature the secretary of state sponsored a bill that affected all 29 recorders offices in the state, yet he did not say one word to any county nor the State Association of Counties and it was under such an unusual heading (the law) that not one of the county watchdogs knew it was passing the county recorders have been on him about it, but the bill ten-acr- iEV Keith H.

I will continue to serve the county as has been done and try to devote more efforts to the establishment of section corners and keeping a complete and accurate record. As surveyor I have been given Olsen many assignments in different areas for the county, and in each of these areas I will strive to do my best and continue to when called give assistance upon. O. Dee Lund at- torney): Major problem area for the county attorney is to provide prompt, efficient and fair administration of justice in criminal matters to both the accused and the public. I feel that the local law agencies, prosecutors and courts are presently doing a good job in handling this problem. authority slated as conference speaker LDS Elder Bruce R.

McConkie visiting authority h A day with county agent (Continued From Page One) over last year. He noted that the majority of farmers had heeded extension advice to delay their corn harvest for a while to get more maturity and resultant higher feed value in it. Hay Being Harvested We could see some third crop hay was being harvested at the time, but sugar beet harvest hadnt started yet. He pointed out patchy spots in fields where fertilizer application and irrigation had been quite uneven. Some farms looked in very good shape. Harold said these will provide useful examples in extension educational programs aimed to help the farmers. Back on the ground, he commented that he gained more information in those 45 minutes flying 128 miles over the county than he could possibly get in more than a day traveling on the ground by car. But all the work cant be done by air. Farmers ask for help with problems on their crops and home owners ask for advice on their lawns, trees, shrubs, and grounds where insects, weeds, disease, etc. are causing problems. These requests frequently involve visits to the farms and homes to check on the problems and suggest solutions. Harold had scheduled to work at Tremonton a portion of the day I was with him. At the USU office Extension Tremonton, Mrs. Shanna King, in the secretary, handed him a number of messages from persons who had called in requesting help. He responded by telephone to some and then we set out to visit those that needed further attention. The problems included some alfalfa fields that were dying for some unknown reason, weeds in lawns, mite damage in shrubs, and trees turning yellow and dying. To meet such problems, Harold utilizes his own knowledge and as necessary draws from the expertise of department specialists at the university. One of his responsibilities is serving with the county weed board. To get information for the board he stopped at the airport in Tremonton to contact a helicopter spray operator to get information on the cost of spraying an infestation of the yellow mustard, dyers woad, at the Howell interchange to prevent its spreading into the Hansel Valley.

Back at the extension office in Brigham City, the secretary, Mrs. Carolyn Pett, called his attention to several requests that had come in. He responded to a number of them by telephone and then we went to visit a lady new to the area who was concerned about insect damage to her backyard fruit trees. He diagnosed the problem as bag worms and gave the lady suggestions on controlling them and pointed out a number of things that she could do to have her yard in the condition she would like it. As with the others visited, she was most appreciative for his interest and help. of the Punch and cookies will be served this evening (Thursday) as voters in Brigham City Districts 2 and 9 are invited to meet Denton Beecher H.

He had a request from Uintah Basin asking for help in setting up a training program for the Indian people. He asked for Harolds suggestions in working such a program through extension. Harold noted that he gets a number of inquiries from communities wanting help on beautification and in getting organized to do the job. He has been appointed to the new community beautification committee in Brigham City. Had the day been longer he said he would have liked to meet with the representative of the community garden club to do some planning and set up some educational programs on home gardens and beautification. Though for me the day was done and I had to leave, Harold had an evening air safety meeting to attend. 723-786- OPEN SCHOOLWEEK O. D.
