Dean Miller, representing the baseball team for young men 18 years and older, reported that the team has been operating for two years in state competition. Weve spent two years getting off the ground and this year we decided we were ready for team uniforms, explained Mr. Miller. In the past the team has borrowed what equipment they could.

East year many of the libraries receiving these grants bought large print books for use by the elderly. Auxiliaries receive the library grants from the Eagles Memorial Foundation in appreciation of their cooperation and Golden Eagle Fund which support of the senior citizen-oriente- d the Foundation administers. During the discussion of the insurance program, Police Chief Daren Green requested the city to check into the possibility of coverage in cases of paralysis. Referring to a recent accident in Salt Lake City, the chief noted that both firemen and police officers are in a high risk situation for such accidents, and they are not covered. Because there is a possibility that any city employe could suffer from such an accident, the deputy recorder was instructed to check with the insurance company regarding such benefits. Next weeks public hearing on the budget is scheduled to give final approval to the citys proposed allocations.

An educator for the past 17 years, Edwin F.

Rogers has taught at Clearfield High School for the past 14 years. A graduate of Utah StateJJniversity, he has done graduate work at Brigham Young Univeristy, Oregon State University as well as USU. Prior to teaching at Clearfield, the Logan, Utah native taught in the LDS Church South Pacific School System in Western Samoa for three and one half years.

In addition to teaching, Ed has had extensive experience in radio broadcasting and news reporting, having worked for a number of Utah and Arizona radio stations, in addition to a 3'2 year stint as the Ogden, Utah correspondent for the Associated Press. For the past ten years, Rogers has been associated with the Davis County Fair ; four years as assistant manager and for the past six years as fair manager. Upon three occasions he was elected a director of the Utah Association of Fairs and Shows, and is presently serving as Vice President of that organization.

His duties for the first two years included the fire department and responsibility for water, sewer and garbage. In January of this year, in a of department reshuffling assignments, he was given charge of the entire public works department. A availability to young people, of alcohol and rugs, and a desire to help find, solutions to this twin evil, is another reason for Rogers candidacy. Another of Eds concerns is the cont.onpage2 conviction that government responsibility should be shared by all capable American citizens, not only be a select few professional politicians, is why he became involved in Sunset City politics, and is why he now is a candidate for the state legislature. m A concern for todays youth and what the future holds for them; the preparation they need to meet tomorrows challenges, and how government can gear up to assist in meeting those goals, is a major concern of this educators candidacy.
