The students, who graduated from the sixth grade in 1 953, attended a reunion Saturday, July 2.! On Sunday, July 3 the former students brought their own picnic and met at the bowery behind the school in West Bountiful. Morris Swapp was the sixth grade teacher rently employs 300 to 400 workers and at peak periods such as Christmas, has employed as many as 1,000 workers. It will have a definite effect on our office and area businesses, says Davis County Personnel Director Mel Miles. The gas stations, grocery stores and retail stores in the immediate vicinity of Freeport Center will suffer more than other areas, Miles said the local United Way will suffer a heavy loss since Max Factor was a major contributor to that organization. Max Factor is owned by the Norton-SimoCorporation and distributes its line of cosmetics worldwide and also to the United States Armed Services. The Clearfield center opened in June, 1974, and at the time, was the major distribution center in the country. The Oxford plant was opened late last year because of a need for a center close to the strong east coast market. An employee of the Clearfield center said most of the workers County, Max Factor Distribuion Center at Freeport, will close its doors later this year due to economic reasons and the better location of its Oxford, N.C., plant. The plant has laid off much of its work force in the past year and has shut down two buildings of the distribution center. The president of the Clearfield plant, Ron Stewart, said Monday that the final decision to close down the plant has not been made yet. However, Carol Walters, president of public relations for Max Factor in Hollywood, Calif., confirmed Tuesday in a telephone interview that the company plans to close the Clearfield center by the end of the calendar year. She said as of last Thursday, all distribution functions at the center will be closed. Ms. Walters added that the plant will continue to manufacture some cosmetic lines which once acof counted for about the centers operation. She said reasons for the plants closing include the need and also the principal at the school, Virginia Seegmiller and Margaret Schriever are other teachers. Classmembers included Ed Yeates of Channel 5 News; Kathy Edmonds Atwood, a famous singer and world traveler; Carol Gapinski Bangerter, mother of 12 children; and Lynne Buys Watson, reunion chairwoman. negotiations between the union and Max Factor officials over of the center the have been completed. He said the company agreed to give employees their accrued vacation time, sick leave, retirement benefits and severance pay. Barrow also promised that the union will try to find the workers other employment and aid them in applying for unemclose-dow- n n one-thir- d Fewer Fires Though . there are currently looking for other jobs. The employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said officials from Max Factor are visiting here to determine if the plant can handle part of the heavy Christmas volume. Gary Barrow, secretary-treasure- r of Teamsters Union 276 which represents employees of the plant, said contract ployment benefits. Steve Barrett, economic d- evelopment manager at Freeport, said they are talking to some businesses about leasing the 400,000 square foot Max Factor buildings. The Acorn Building Components West Inc. at Freeport is reportedly to negotiating with the center lease the vacant A and B buildings that were formerly occupied by Max Factor. Fireworks Concern Officials Centerville Bell Co. Will Offer Okays Sale Special Rates A new fireworks law passed by the Utah State Legislature liberalizing many types of fireworks previously prohibited has left many fire department officials and health care officials concerned that there may be a higher incidence of fires and firework-relate- d accidents this year.

We actually had less this yer than last year, Littlewood said. Lemon said most of the eight fires in Bountiful were started by the illegal types of fireworks such as bottle rockets and the kind that spin on the ground, hit something and jump.

Also theres the danger that a child could step on a hot sparkler after it has fallen to the ground. Argyle said he differs from my compadres in that he believes the state ought to open up fireworks laws and let it go and leave it that way. If the law is changed again, local residents will just go to Wyoming to get it (fireworks); Id just as soon see the revenue come into our state. If people have to drive a few miles to get it, theyre going to do it, Argyle said. He said he would support any changes in the law restricting the use of fireworks, however, if there is documented proof that certain types of fireworks pose a big threat. This year fire departments and hospitals have been asked to keep a detailed report which will be submitted to the state fire marshall to determine what kinds of fireworks pose the greatest danger and to monitor whether there is more damage caused by fireworks that have been newly legalized .under laws passed this year.

The issue will help to keep the city operating for two months until the city receives sales tax revenues from the state in September, Mayor Neil Blackburn said. Jeananne Larsen, representing Zions Bank, said she believes the city could pay the note back in December with no penalty. The note will be issued at 7 percent interest. Zions Bank will purchase the bonds, Blackburn said. In other action, council assignments have changed since two council members were added to the council after two former councilmen resigned.

During the discount period, Utah customers may make a direct dial call to anywhere within the state and talk for 30 minutes for only $1.49. In some cases, this is a 75 percent savings over existing evening discount rates. This is a new idea for Mountain Bell, according to Kenneth O.

Our customers want more choice in what they pay for long distance calls and we intend to offer those choices.
