The former Marcelius Chard property purchased by the district will be used as playground. Later a little league field will be developed with Payson City help. We feel that to extend the time for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment would be unwise as well as unfair. Saints The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da(Mormon) has a profound veneration for the Constitution of the United States of America. We believe it was divinely inspired, and we take a serious interest in any proposed amendments to that basic document and the process itself by which the Constitution is amended. Furthermore, the Church has a very deep and everlasting commitment to the preservation and strengthening of the family, including its individual members. As a people who have in our history known the loss of our constitutional rights, we have long been concerned with the rights and interests of both men and women. For these reasons, the Church has done what it rarely does spoken out against a proposed constitutional amendment. Our opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment as stated in our message of October 22, 1976 is clear and expresses genuine concern. But our concern over the Equal Rights Amendment has now been deepened by what appears to be a tampering with and an abuse of the process of amendment itself. To couple the extension of time with a restriction against reconsideration of previous ratifications would be most unwise for at least these reasons: First, the continuation of the ERA ratification effort will increasingly divide and polarize this nation. Rather than bringing opposing sides closer together, any extension will see them grow farther apart and become more set in their opposing y Lunchroom and faculty preparation areas occupy either end (East and school with a West) of the south-facin- g carpeted media center and room housed in the middle. A bus loading area will be constructed in the front of the school to supply maximum safety to the bussed students. e The new school was named after Owen T. Barnett, who was superintendent of Nebo schools for fifteen years. Mr. Barnett lived in Payson and taught at Peteetneet for a number of years before becoming superintendent. He later taught at BYU. Principal Powell recalls Mr. Barnett as one of my favorite teachers. I'm truly pleased to be able to serve as principal in his namesake school. Mrs. Barnett, Owens widow, called to congratulate Mr. Powell and offered an oil portrait of Mr. Barnett for the new school. The picture was a generous offer. Not many principals can claim personal friendship with their schools namesake, Mr. Powell explained. The picture will be a great addition. views. Second, to continue the divisive struggle for the ratification of the ERA is unfair to the interests of women. The additional time, money and energy which would be employed attempting to insure its passage could be more effectively used in other ways in the interest of women. If and where specific laws or practices exist which discriminate against women, we should devote our most conscientious efforts toward changing them. Each woman should be encouraged in her honorable aspirations for fulfillment and special esteem. Because all human life begins with her, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints has always held her in revered light. Third, it seems clear that support for the ERA lacks the powerful consensus of that very large s majority of people in the United States s for action in the national Congress; in the state legislatures) which is so wisely required by its framers to change the Constitution. Indeed, some states which have previously passed the amendment have now voted to rescind ratification. The formal procedures set up by the framers of the Constitution by which the Constitution is amended are part of the vitality of the Constitution. If these processes are abused, the Constitution is itself damaged and its power and influence among our people are proportionately diminished. Fourth, we believe the Equal Rights Amendment has had its full chance to build the support that any constitutional amendment should have to secure passage. Any extension beyond seven years in unnecessary, unwise and unprecedented. The proposed amendment has enjoyed almost twice the time to seek ratification of any previous amendment which has been passed and three and f times longer than the average.

He claimed the problem of flooding from a neighbors irrigation ditch as the reason for extension. The council gave its approval for a 60 days extension on his bond. A public hearing was held during the council meeting to receive comment on a proposal requiring curb, gutter and sidewalk on all new building lots both residential and commercial. There were no citizens in attendance for the hearing. The public hearing was closed without comment and ordinances will be drawn up and reviewed by the council at a later date.

Main I 465-232- 4 f Cthrimirl J.C. Pay-so- n we Wives, would like to extend a thank you to special all who helped in any careful process of amending the Constitution gives our nation time to arouse our intellects, to search our hearts, and to consult our consciences. That time has now passed. Fifth, it would be deeply offensive to any sense of fairness to extend the deadline for ratification of the proposed Equal Rights Amendment so that some states which have refused ratification can change their mind but, at the same time, to refuse to allow other state legislatures the right to change their mind and rescind their previous acts of approval. Any such gross abuse of the democratic process and of the process of amending the Constitution could send a surge of cynicism through the land which might damage the Constitution itself. Why should there be an eccentric method of legislation applied to this one amendment? Any extension at all is unwise, but a extension of the amending process regarding the Equal Right Amendment would set a precedent for constitutional revision that could haunt America for years to come. Great uncertainty about the revision process would emerge if the amending process is extended over 14 years. And why not 21 years? Would the Americans of 1943 wish to have been bound by the action of state legislatures passed in 1929? Is it fair to allow a state to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in 1986 which refused to pass it in 1972, while refusing a state which passed it in 1972 to opportunity to rescind it in 1986? If the latest action of a state legislature is not valid, when is the will of the people as expressed through state legislatures not the will of the people? one-side- d Thus, changing the rules for a proposed amendment adds the possibility of great uncertainty in the amending process of the Constitution. An unduly protracted process of approval could raise doubts and encourage litigation. Once an amendment to the Constitution has been approved and is in place in that document, it would be unthinkable to let a state alter its action concerning that amendment. Prior to the formal place ment of an amendment in the Constitution, states should be equally free, within a relatively short period of time, to approve or rescind their actions concerning any proposed amendment. It would be tragic indeed if an amendment which claims to bring constitutional equality to women ended up injuring our Constitution. Our political process and institutions have, from time to time, been tainted and corrupted. However, when our nation has followed the procedure outlined in the Constitution to amend that document its integrity has been preserved. When thus amended, our Constitution has reflected a sufficiently strong will of the people that an issue is settled rather than being in doubt. This wise process permits our Constitution to remain safely above the fray and beyond the reach of corruption and manipulation, and hold the special place it enjoys in the hearts and minds of the people. In affirming our allegiance to The United States of America, we express confidence that this nation is sufficiently strong and fair to be able to resolve any problems of inequality and unfairness to women, or any other group in our society, without abusing the amending process for our most basic document, the Constitution, and without undermining our most basic institution, the family.
