According to an article in the Snoopy News, the Community Bank was robbed last fall of 41 merits. A suspect was apprehended, tried, found guilty and punished. The money was returned. Websterville has an effective system of justice, according to Blaine ' ; Poulsen, Webster teacher and a former Salt Lake City policeman. Students attending the three month Webster Law School write a bar exam, and if they pass that can become qualified lawyers, district attorneys and judges. A police force enforces the law in Websterville, and those officers have to observe the same procedures as other policeman. They use and are familiar with search warrants and criminal complaints. Julie Harmon, who defended the accused thief in court, and Alan Inkley, the prosecuting attorney, are both completing requirements to be admitted to the bar. They worked on the case under the supervision of Laura Webb and Kathv-Paynpracticing attorneys. The presiding judge, Elliot Kuida, was also handling the case as part of his training, working under the superv ision of Judge Kelly Waterson. According to Kent Hurlburt, a police officer from the sixth grade, policemen can make arrests on a variety of offenses, from misdemeanors, such as skipping stairs and littering, to mere serious offences, such as stealing and a child feels good about himself and the school, Hermansen said, there is no way to make him learn.

The extent of that involvement was illustrated last year when the children heard rumors that Websterville would be closed. They began to prepare for a sitdown strike, petitions and protests. The rumors proved to be unfounded. The Webster project was originally funded under a Title I incenive grant, and Title I funds were allotted again for the second year. When the project was evaluated by national Title I personnel, Websterville was labelled as one of the two truly innovative projects in Utah.

Four youngsters from the Thoreau Free School gave a combined presentation which emhasized the environmental harm done by auto traffic. Frances Raskin, 10; Traci Brighton, 11; Eleanor Cohen, 8, and John Shuman, 10, said that 57 percent of the air pollution in the Salt Lake area comes from automobiles. Three years ago the total air pollution put out by cars and small trucks in the valley was 280,000 tons per year, they said. J.

The figure was up 1,060 from the previous week. Department officials say the increased jobless numbers reflects the fact that nearly 25,000 more Utahns held jobs in 1972 than in the previous year. The construction industry, they said, is generating about 1,300 more claims this year but had an average of nearly 4,000 more workers during the height of the building season. Job openings received by Employment Security offices over the state exceeded the 1,300 level for the first time since the week ending Nov. 18.

The cleared area doesnt have to be large just enough to keep the hydrant in view from the street or sidewalk, he said. ; However, the hydrants could be found quickly in event of a fire, he said. The firemen in each station must know within a few feet where every hydrant is located in their dis- trict.
