Show Brigham City, Utah Thursday, June 30, 1977 2 BOX ELDER JOURNAL, Really an uplift MORE.. .AND MORE... . L'1 Editor: I just thought I would drop you a note telling you how much Ive appreciated the News Journal the past two years. Its really an uplift when the mail box runs dry. Ill be home in two weeks so you will no longer need to send it to me. Texas is great, but kind of flat for a Box Elder county boy. Editorially Speaking Let's make sidewalk Thanks yawl, D. Hardy Elder Brian plans more concrete More aid for Heritage Editor: that of the high school, and isnt the real answer. Sidewalks, or the lack thereof, have long been a discussion topic in Brigham City but they seem to stay at the discussion point and never reach any concrete form. Parents and educators, PTA Sidewalks are costly and some people argue that their addition should be the sole responsiblility of individual property owners. This might be true if pleas had been made for sidewalks on every street, but the PTA Council for many years has instead advocated collector sidewalks on streets with heavy school coun- cils and locals, police officers and senior citizens have all made requests in recent years for construction of sidewalks along the major streets within the city. Now the issue is back in the forefront as a PTA Council officer reports that an assessment of needs for the Safe Sidewalks bill was sent in from Box Elder School District with a no needs notation. This is rather difficult to understand when Lake View school students walk along a precarious Seventh South, Foothill school students walk a busy Seventh North twice a day, and Central school students compete with Box Elder High school pedestrians and motorists for the pavement on Second South. fAOne I was so pleased to have you people respond to my, Donation for a pie, to Heritage Theater. I want to tell you that this is your theater. Each and everyone of you can participate in the only theater like it in the west. Now playing Please, Dont Sneeze is a delightful way to spend an evening. Marvin Moon and cast were never better. As usual I never run out of ideas, pies are not the only thing Ive invented. Ive made a lotion that many people think is creme. It is good for very good. It is really a face, body, bath, and hair. It is soothing to sunburn. Dont laugh, but mosquitoes avoid you when you put it on. It is not the odor that keeps them away. It has a pleasant perfume odor. I would be so pleased to mail or deliver a bottle to each person who will donate $5 or more to Heritage Theater. Please call me and place your order today. MORE fOR FOR CLOTHES... BpUCArnoN...

As a first step, the PTA Council recomended years ago that Seventh North, Second South and Seventh South were the most immediate problems in pedestrian safety. CHILDREN ARENT THE only pedestrians who would use the sidewalks since they also lead to the downtown business district and to business centers on the north and' south end of town. Two nursing homes are adjacent to the streets, and they would open up safe pedestrian travel to stake centers and churches in several nearby locations. The Safe Sidewalks bill provides state money for assistance in building sidewalks on state roads or collector roads, so lets hope the no needs assessment wasnt our last chance at turning our sidewalks plans into something more THE SCHOOL DISTRICT considers the traffic problem along the latter street serious enough to have altered school hours at Central school by 15 minutes in hopes that the children will be off the street before the high school students are released.

But now many homes will also display the Stars and Stripes? Mrs. Grace Price, Brigham Citys own lady of the flags, expresses her hope that every home would own and display a flag for all patriotic A but especially on Inholidays dependence Day. As flag chairman for Civic Improvement club, she has ordered a supply of kits and replacement flags. Not wanting to compete with local stores, she began contacting them concerning their flag supplies and was surprised to find only tiny flag favors, stickers, and some small printed silk handwaving flags in stock anywhere in the city. A local resident unaware of the clubs project would have a hard time locating a suitable flag for home display, Mrs. Price noted with disaDDointment. The Utah Board of Big Game Control last weekend completed its annual task of setting seasons for the states big game animals. The board listened to sportsmen at public hearings across the state vent their pleasure and displeasure at past board decisions prior to sitting down with recommendations from the various state and federal agencies to make its decisions. One problem facing the board, comprised of four freshman members, was how to make the states 20,000 bowmen happy without trodding on tender feet of Utahs black powder shooters, who last year hunted with archers in some units of the state.

Museum-Galler- A y. The direction and support of Chairman Delone B. Glover and the fine present board members and those who served in the past, who are appointed by the city council are dedicated activities not often found in a community. . Likewise, in our city are many service organizations who have graciously hosted the art receptions and provided floral arrangements, a gesture appreciated by the exhibiting artists and all those associated with the gallery. Many individuals have presented trust fund, books, historical and art collections, display cases and an organ enhancing the worth, interest and beauty of the facility. KBUH Radio and several business firms have also made their unique contributions to the operation. All of this has been done for the education, appreciation and pleasure of visitors to the Museum-Gallermany of whom have expressed their personal thanks by word or writing. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has assisted in anyway to promote the programs of the Museum-Gallercity officers, Family, friends, patrons and visitors have all made my years as director of a pleasing and rewarding the Brigham City Museum-Galler- y experience.

Bows, arrows and black powder arent compatible, it seems. But the board, recognizing the needs of both groups of sportsmen Phyllis K. Owen Supports new educator Editor: I would like to express my thanks and echo support for our incoming superintendent of Box Elder School District. I recently had the opportunity to hear his philosophies and objectives, tempered with personal experiences in rearing his family of 11 children. While I may be a relative newcomer to the county, I am enthusiastic when an educator and administrator, who will assist in moulding the character of my children, speaks with conviction and the clear ring of truth. We are fortunate to have a man of the experience and character of Dr. Dalton to assist us in educating our children. May we all have the foresight to support and encourage him. Sincerely, Timothy K. Sperry, D.P.M. and wanting to be fair to all, established a separate season for the black powder buffs on four herd units. The season will commence about a month after the bow season ends, starting Oct. 1. The board should also be commended for its continuance with the buck only, one deer per hunter policy. It has been made more apparent each season that the policy is helping build the states deer herds back to normal numbers. Cooperation schools and media. The International Womans Year is an organization in each state with a national organization heading it. It has been funded with $5 million taxpayers dollars and the purpose is to find out how women all over America feel about womens issues and the ERA. The only problem is that the national committee is 41 members and only one anti-ERThe state committees are also as was seen at Utahs conference. Their first resolution reads in part, As our main commitment to the observance of International Womans Year, we pledge to do all in our capacity to see that the equal rights amendment is ratified at the earliest This is the impartial body that is to see possible moment. how women feel about ERA and they have $5 million dollars of the taxpayers money to hold conventions to turn womens views toward ratifying ERA and bring much federal control into the states. It is not enough to feel strongly about issues. We must let our governmental officials know how we feel. The IWY had spent months in preparing workshops and task force reports federal funding of all abortions, and that were federal funding of day care centers for working mothers. The resolutions on lifestyles would legalize homosexual marriages and permit these couples to adopt children. (One member of the Presidents national IWY committee is the director of the National Gav Task Force.) The draft copy of resolutions given us by the IWY was drastically changed in committees by concerned women. It was good to see so many resolutions come out of the work shops that deplored federal government spending and legislation. I was proud of Utah women as I saw thousands of voting cards raised to vote for many intelligent resolutions that called for returning responsibility to the individual person and local government. I hope the women of Utah will not let their experience stop here for their individual voices can be heard better by writing to their state and federal legislators. Sincerely, Mrs. John R.
