For one thing, the violence so prolific among nations and within nations, would cease. Men would not contend with one another over power, property, wealth, influence... There is no tolerance of such strife in the teachings of Jesus. Our rising crime rate would not climb. There would be no crime rate. No murders, no thefts, no cases of aski'Jt. MEN WOULD SERVE well in government and business, spurred by a conscience rooted in honesty, integrity, a desire to keep faith with ones fellowmen. There would be a sharing of resources, mutual development and utilization of technology in medicine and health. Starvation, slums, educational deprivation, waste, discrimination, and social abuse would wither and disappear. Infidelity, pronography, alcohol other drug abuse, divorce, dessertion, distrust would find no fertile soil. Love, understanding, patience, compassion, tolerance and charity are virtues that men would espouse , and finding opportunity and nourishment in them to reach fulfillment of their potential as spiritual offspring of a common God. Sadly, however, mankind denies itself these many advantages. Caught up . our frailties and weaknesses, we struggle with woes heaped upon ourselves, labor against the odds of adversity manufactured in our own greed, selfishness, hate and lust. at noon two Brigham Tolman Burke and Wayne Jones will take the oath of office, beginning four year terms the city council.

The board of directors of the Dec. 8, 1925 Chamber of Commerce decided on the following nominating committee for new officers of the club: Jack Phillips, Hervin Bunderson, A. M. Hansen, C. B. Stratford and K. C. Wright. fellow officials residents. Theyve spent hundreds of hours not only in regular weekly sessions but much additional time in special meetings and in other ways involved in city business. It has come at the expense of time spent with their families and their work. These men have been the targets for criticism, often unfairly founded. But theyve persevered in a quest for decisons which theyve sincerely felt were best for the city. Observing week after week and year after year, weve come to appreciate this dedication a great deal, and here express our gratitude for it. We hope youll do the same when you see one of these men. Last in series When she HI AMD ITS NOT THAT the Gospel of Christ has been totally ignored. For it hasnt. We see its influence everywhere. The teachings of Christ are particularly evident at this time of year when attention is turned to that sacred birth in Bethlehem. But how much more would be our progress in the positive, uplifting, spiritual things of life with greater dedication. To the end that each of us and our neighbors around this earthly home will make such a commitment is our prayer at this Christmas.

She must stand firm on what she knows to be true, that it is very difficult for an alcoholic person to recover by continuing to drink. The spouse must be encouraged to allow her husband to struggle with this fact for himself, painful though it may be. school could then use the facility and help to pay operating expenses through payment of a rental fee to the city. One final problem concerns the size of the city pool, it being only five lanes wide and thus making it marginal for high school competitive swimming meets. Thus lane expansion needed would again have to come from city sources but could easily be 80 to 90 percent less than the amount for a new facility proposed and defeated in the recent bond election. If the school board wishes to keep the tax mill levy constant beyond amortization of present bonds, approximately, $1,000,000 will become available to spend as the board sees fit beginning in 1979. However, the board will only want to spend this tax money with public approval. This extra money will not be available until 1980, hence, a new one and a half million dollar pool is no certainty even at the later date. Further argument in favor of the city pool improvement is that it will alleviate the tax situation outside the city where pools has already been opposition to million dollar-plu- s expressed very clearly. In conclusion, getting together and cooperating offers an interesting challenge to both city and school officials plus other swimming enthusiasts. Also, an improvement of a little-use- d taxpayers facility could really save some money for of both Brigham City and Box Elder county.

Brigham City Museum-Galler24 y North Third West J Brigham City Musoum-Gollor- Counselor, Box Elder Alcohol Counseling Service The final phase of counseling is entered when the spouse consistently feels more ego strength, and experiences increased self confidence and self respect. She is able to make good decisions, having looked at alternatives available to her, and does not abandon these decisions when challenged. She looks better, more rested and relaxed, and is consistently well groomed. Assuming the spouse has reached this point and that her husband is still actively (kinking, the counselor may help guide the wife to make a plan to motivate the alcoholic to seek treatment. Many a desperate spouse has confronted her husband with his need for treatment long before she was ready to do so. In such instances, her behavior is more of a threat or punishment and leads only to failure. THE COUNSELOR CAN help prepare the spouse for her husbands probable response to her confrontation. When he understands his wife's sincere intent, he may very well be plunged into a crisis state. He will attempt to use his of defenses familiar denial, rationalization, and projection. The spouse must be cautioned not to become involved in argument or debate at IF HE AGREES TO accept help, the wife can put him in immediate touch with appropriate sources of help, either professional or someone who can speak to him from personal experience. The spouse needs to be encouraged to allow her husband to take as much initiative as possible. If he refuses treatment, it may then be necessary for the wife to tell him that her decisions requires her to make some decisions of her own regarding her future. The spouse will then utilize the counseling sessions to review the alternatives open to her. At this point she may decide that a separation from her husband for a period of time is her best choice. Others may decide upon divorce. Still others are willing to wait a while longer, or as long as necessary, Until another crisis provides the turning point needed. WHATEVER THE SPOUSE decides to do, she must know that she cannot force her partner to give up his drinking. Once she has accepted this, she will be able to give more considerations to her own needs. When the spouse has reached the point of feeling confident about her ability to chart and sustain a wise course of action, termination of the counseling sessions maybe initiated. Thanks again, Elder Brian Parsons Editor: Swimming and auditorium bonds were soundly defeated in the November election. Similar bonding elections nationwide were also defeated at a 93 percent rate. The voters have spoken and rightfully so. It is now absolutely clear that we do without spending two million dollars for swimming facilities in Box Elder county, at least for the next few years. In Brigham City this leaves us with two basic alternatives: (1) Continue as in the past with good cooperation between school and community groups; (2) Try to improve what we have in the way of existing facilities with minimum expense to taxpayers. The second proposition, that of improving existing facilities, might lead us to consider the following step: (1) Attempt to work a more accommodating utilization with Intermountain school. This becomes difficult because of administrative responsibility of Intermountain administration to the government; (2) Expand use of city pool now being utilized approximately three and a half months per year. The city pool improvement offers several options requiring the least monies but a great deal more cooperation. It needs facility, only minimum dollars to become a year-roun- d probably less than 20 percent of new construction costs; but for high school use is inconvenient. More importantly, it would require close cooperation between the city council, the school board, high school administrators and teachers and the Brigham City Recreation department. The city pool, already built and owned by Brigham City, would require monies presently available only through outside bonding, a dim prospect at present. Should surplus funds become available in the next year or two, the city could use. The high then winterize the facility enabling year-roun- d Max says thanks 24 North 1:00 a.rn. 3rd Wast to 7:00 p.M.

I thank the Brigham City Jaycees for helping sponsor the party, the merchants who donated gifts, the Brigham City police who turned out in such large numbers, the Box Elder News and Journal and Tuff Claybaugh and Earl Bassett and the Division of Family Services. I want to express my thanks, too, to Paul Damon and Richard Rraegger who bowled the 68 games with me, and Linda Nelson and Lee Snitchler who bowled 12 and 15 games and kept score for eight straight hours. My thanks to the lady bowlers from Brigham City who turned out. And thanks to Principal Carroll Nichols who allowed his students to come and bowl for charity. It takes a whole bunch of people to make a drive like this go. We collected almost $600 for needy kids, nearly double from last year. My thanks to everyone inv lved. Max E.
