When used in conjunction with a raise" would obbuilding, to viously mean to erect or build. Conversely, to raze would mean to tear down. Such was the context used in Albert Antreis letter to the editor last .week. He spoke of razing the old church house. He the word used, and spelled, correctly, but somehow or other we changed the razing to "raising, which completely reversed the meaning of his thought. I dont know how it happened because we do know the difference between the two words. Anyway it happened, and we apologize for the misprint. f 4 t i To set the record questioned the straight, he feasibility of razing the old Manti North Ward building, in favor of a new city complex. We may not agree with his rationale, but we certainly agree about his right to have his ideas fairly portrayed. Our new policy of running pictures of babies on their first birthday is beginning to catch on. Were glad to give the sweet little tykes the publicity and invite you to submit their pictures to us. One small kindergartener came into the office yesterday. I asked her what she did on her first day at We ate lunch, kindergarten. Motorcycles played games, and went to the bathroom, she replied. Sounds like a pretty good schedule to me. 1 received a news release in the mail this W'eek to the effect that the president of the American Association of Classified School Employees, from Sandy, had been invited to a White House Labor Day picnic with Jimmy and Rosalyn. I didn't think Jimmy would ever invite a Utahn, but he did. So here 1 am, snubbed again. I'm even more convinced now that the reason he doesnt invite me is because 1 occasionally say some unkind thing about Democrats. Yet, he invited Ronnie Reagan once in a while and Ronnie says much nastier things about Democrats than 1 do. Of course, G. Ray Holt (the man mentioned above) represents 300,000 school support personnel, and could certainly deliver many more votes than a humble weekly newspaper editor (I dont think 1 could deliver any. Even my own family doesnt listen to my sage political advice). Anyway, Im still hoping for an invitation. The trouble with politics is the winners get the jobs, losers get the ax, and nobody takes down the campaign posters. For years in my role as a photographer, I've gone around telling people to say "Cheese to create a photogenic smile. Recently I read in a photographic magazine that a better w ay was to ask the subject to say "sex. Then you not only get a smile, but a twinkle, the article said. I decided to try it. So I took my camera outside where Beth was working in the yard. 1 focused and when she looked up, I said, "Say Fair Highlights . . .

City Council Addresses Citizen Safety Problems The safety of Mantis residents dominated action at the August 20 city council meeting, as motorcycles and open ditches came under scrutiny. Fencing of the large open ditch which traverses Manti is still under consideration by the council. Councilman Stan Voorhees said that he had contacted the Green Thumbers and that an application was in process for the services of that organization to assist in the installation of the fence. Costs of fencing were presented by Councilman Jay Cluff. The council noted that the use and misuse of motor bikes and cycles by many young people in town had caused numerous complaints from citizens who contended that some of the cyclists were operating excessively noisy vehicles and also said that many were doing so without operators licenses, and were obviously underage. Some of the residents reported that the bikes were also unlicensed. The council requested the assistance of the Manti City police in putting a stop to the disturbances. Considerable discussion ensued at the meeting on the sale of lots on the periphery of town and the subsequent requests for city services from landowners in those areas. We can't even come close to affording to put those Vocalists, and pianists dominated the winners list at the Sanpete County-FarBureau's Talent Find. The first place winners in the three junior, intermediate and categories will now represent Sanpete in senior finals during the state the fair. First, second and third place winners in the county meet were awarded trophies by the Sanpete Farm Bureau, according to David Madsen, Talent Find chairman.

The proposed city complex is still hanging fire, with the city officials currently trying to obtain options on the land designated. A grant is available for site acquisition and preparation through the Farmers' Home Administration. Leslie Jacobsen, a resident of the area east of Sterling, appeared before the council regarding a business license. The Jacobsens are engaged in with wood, leather and working turquoise and also do custom sign work. Mayor Ben Kjar and the council were uncertain exactly what provision to make on this request as it entails providing a business license to someone who does not have a place of business in Manti, yet who is relatively local. Mayor Kjar told Mrs. Jacobsen he would seek the advice of the city attorney and determine what arrangements could be made. The City's representation at the convention of The Utah League of Cities and Towns will include Mayor Kjar, councilmen Lionel King and Bryan McArthur, city treasurer Melba DeMill and city recorder Bill Mickelsen.

Please Protect Our Kids Its that time of year again when summer vacation is over and children will be returning to school. That also means that motorists are going to have to be extra cautious and observant when traveling through school zones. The Utah Department of Transportation will be activating all flashing school speed limit signs on state highways, and all other traffic control devices will be in place. This is also an excellent time to help educate your own children about the hazards associated with highways and automobiles. Art Studies Geurts, LDOT Safety Engineer, says, "About half of school-ag- e children pedestrian accidents happen after school hours. All the traffic control devices in the world cannot prevent an accident if a child is totally ignorant of the possible dangers there is just no substitute for teaching your children good judgment. Senior division winners: Tracy Frandsen, 1st, Centerfield; Denice Jensen, 3rd, Gunnison; Marv Higbee, 2nd, Ephraim. High School Landscaping F aces W ater Problem by Bruce Jennings Will the green grass grow all around all around? That depends. It mainly depends on whether or not the South Sanpete School District can obtain enough water through the Manti City culinary system to keep 82,000 square feet of grass flourishing on the new high school campus. The Rocky Mountain Blue Grass Co. is presently installing a sprinkling system at the new school. It's an automated pop-uhead system. The plastic pipe, in several sizes, will soon be in place. Grading will follow, and top soil as required. The company also expected to lay the 82.000 square feet of grass sod soon, beginning this week. The total price for the job sprinkling system, top soil, grading and sod installation the lowest $37,000 p 4 of three bids for the project. But the district has this week instructed Rocky Mountain Blue Grass Co. to hold off laying the grass until an adequate supply of water for the new lawns can be assured. And that assurance may be sometime away. Thats because the new school's hook-u- p to the Manti culinary system is h a pipe and that size pipe cannot deliver sufficient water for all the schools needs, including 82.000 square feet of new sod. And Manti City w ill not, in the present circumstance, allow the district to have more culinary water than can be carried by a pipe, according to Mayor one-inc- one-inc- h Ben Kjar. The city simply doesn't have enough water in the culinary system for this added usage, Mayor Kjar explained this week. "We are allowing the school the same size hook-uthat we allow other new users. p Mayor Kjar added that the city advised the school district, well in advance of construction, that the district would need to furnish the city with a supplemental supply of water before it could agree to let the school have a larger quantity of culinary water than can be delivered through a one-inc- h hook-u- When the district obtained the site for the new high school from Mr. and Mrs. Donald Barton, following a condemnation procedure, it did not obtain the water right because of a court ruling that the water right was not attached to the land. "We hope to solve this problem by negotiating for more water." Tom Willardson, South Sanpete School District clerk, said Tuesday, "but that can be some time away. And so the matter stands there ,i an impasse and for a time the grci grass won't be growing all around. |
