MANTI, UTAH MM2, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 179 Number Homecoming Queen Named Manti High School, in the midst of Homecoming Week, still has several upcoming activities that will conclude with the Homecoming Dance Friday night in the Armory. The Homecoming activities got underway Monday morning with eight candidates, nominated by their classes and vying for Homecoming queen honors, presenting talent numbers in a school assembly. 1. Don't go to meeting. 2. If you go, be late. 3. U it's bad weather, dont even think of going. 4. When you do attend a meeting, find fault with the president and other officers. 5. Never accept an office. It is much easier to sit back and criticize. 6. If you should be appointed on a committee, dont go to the meetings. If you are not appointed, get peeved about it. 7. When your opinion is asked, reply you have nothing to say, but after the meeting tell everyone how things should be dime. 8. Do nothing more than is absolutely necessary. But when others do the lion's share, tell everyone how the organization is ran by a clique. 9. Dont worry about paying your dues; wait until you receive two or three notices from the secretary, that will keep her from running out of anything to do and getting lazy. 10. Dont bother about getting new members; let the ones who do all the other work do that too. Sometimes it may be better to not read at all. While were on the subject of reading. . . I received through the mail last week a bulletin entitled "How to Comply with the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions," published by the of United States Department Energy. Here are a few excerpts: "The temperature is to be measured with a ' 'dry bulb thermometer.' However, often' b cooling, the temperature may be lowered below 78 F to the extent necessary to lower the room "dew-point- " temperature to not lower than 65F. Instructions on how to determine the dew-poitemperature are provided below under "Temperature Measurement Techniques." One alternative method must include adjusting the cooling system so that: (a) no liquid coolant is provided to cooling coils at a temperature below SSF; or (b) the b temperature of air leaving the cooling coils is 60 or higher." What gobbledegook! The government expended more energy in publishing that tripe than all it will save if everyone sets their thermostats ten degrees lower. dry-bul- nt dry-bul- A Indy caled bar to .

Two Girls Uninjured as Pickup Rams Camper on Mantis Main Street Major damage to a new 1979 Toyota pickup and extensive damage to a camper resulted from a freak accident on Mantis Main Street early Tuesday morning. Janice Lee Stewart, 21, Salt Lake Gty, owner and driver of the pickup, apparently fell asleep at the wheel and drove the Toyota into the side of a camper, owned by Norman O. Anderson, which was parked beside the highway at 380 North Main. Neither Miss Stewart nor her passenger. Sonny Carter, were injured. She was cited for failure to maintain control and operating a vehicle without an operators license. The Toyota was not insured. Rees Rasmussen, the investigating officer, estimated that the pickup was a total loss and that about $600 damage was done to the camper. He said the accident occurred Tuesday morning at 1 a.m. WEATHER REPORT .: The Manti weather is reported by Lee local cooperative observer for the U.S. Department of Commerce, Weather Bureau. Max.

The tax notices also require considerable preparation, according to Sanpete County Treasurer Earl Clark, because the various mill levies established by taxing units, including cities and school districts, must be used in figuring the taxes due. Ordinarily property taxes are due and payable by Nov. 30, but that date can be extended, with state approval, in situations like the present one, according to Mr. Gark. The valuation notices that will soon be in the mail are based on 20 per cent of the fair market value of the property, Mrs. Howell said. And the fair market value, in turn, is based on studies that the State Tax Commission has been conducting in the county.
