Citizens must share some of the shame for this and other accidents by their inconsistent attitudes on law enforcement, indifference to important issues and apathy at the noils. Why dont we quit looking "or someone to pass the burk tn There isnt one person reading this )aper who cannot admit privately o some infraction of the law or a moment of carelessness. This sort of thing could have happened to any one of us. ta The Public Safety Committee of the Council has written three letters concerning the recent fatality in Kearns of a crossing guard. The letters addressed to the County Commissioners, to the County Sheriff and to the Granite Board of Education, seeK to determine what steps can be taken to prevent the reaccurance of such a tragedy. Mr. John Boy den, attorney for the improvement district, is currently investigating a technicality in law which has temporarily stopped the progress on the civic center. The Youth Committee recently working on the civic center has new plans to set-u- p ema teen-ag- e ployment service to provide gainful employment for local teens. Also on their agenda are plans to initiate various hobby clubs, (ham radio operators, etc). It has been reported that person or persons are attempting to solicit money for contribution to the civic center fund. The Council warns Keamsites that no such solicitations have been authorized and anyone being approached is urged to immediately contact the Sheriffs Office with particulars. The Council sent a wire of endorsement to New York on the proposed merger of the Bank of Kearns and Zions First National Bank. This merger is designed to provide Kearns with better banking services. The next Town Council meeting is scheduled for January 8 at the Kearns Jr. High. Praise is due for those interested citizens who champion the cause of better lighting, signs, etc. Dont give up your good work. It is discouraging to note, for example, the case of the 5600 West railroad crossing where investigation by the Public Service Commission failed to produce electric signals, that n.uch of their work is to no avail. This mishap should not be used as an excuse for snide remarks about the County Sheriffs Office. Little credit is given this overworked and understaffed organization. These men are employees just like the rest of us and we have no right to expect more of them than we are willing to give to our employers. Lets not wait for another to make us take a good tragedy look at the guy (or gal) behind the guy in front of us! Local PTA News With Pix of New World Globe .

West Kearns PTA presented gifts to the school before the Christmas holidays. As their gift to the school they selected a beautiful 16 illuminated world globe. The revolving world stands on legs and was presented to Mrs. Petuskey, school librarian, to be placed in the library for the students use. Mrs. Petuskey remarked that the few children who had been able to enjoy it so far were far better able to comprehend the relationship of the countries to one another in ;heir world structure. A leather briefcase was presented to Mr. Max Jackman in appreciation of his fine endeavors as school principal.
