Bowen, former teacher an.l later principal of the Brigham City seminary from 1957 to 1962, has beer appointed supervisor of records in the LDS Churchs central office of Seminaries and Institutes of Religion. He assumed his new position, officed on the ninth floor of the church office building in Salt Lake City this week. The announcement is made by Dr. Joe J. Christensen, associate commissioner of education for seminaries and institutes. A former counselor in the Brigham City Fourth ward from 1958 to 1962, he is the of the late Mr. and Mrs. John P. Lillywhite. Johns seminary in Arizona. From 1962 to 1964 he taught in the college of religion at BYU while persuing graduate studies. For the next two years, he was an instructor at the Seattle Institute of Religion and coordinator of early morning seminaries in the area.

Keep Making Deductions I've ordered the office to keep making the deductions until we get a clarification of the law. Its apparent there is a law that says on request of employes, those deductions should be made. However, I dont have a letter from the attorney yet whether the law applies to us and what his direction will be, the mayor said. Judge Christoffersen set a hearing request for an injunction for Jan. 26. a J. Francis Valerga, UPEA attorney, reportedly accused Mayor Felt of violating a basic employe right of representation by an organization of the workers choice. He suggested it was in retaliation for UPEA efforts to represent Fern Tovey, fired city librarian, recently. However, Mayor Felt said the council move. took its action as an expense-savin- g It was not in retaliation. The main reason was because we are called on by many agencies to make payroll deductions and it is costly to the city because it requires so much office time. Purpose of the motion was to eliminate unnecessary expenses, he explained.
