Publisher Mrs. Bonnie Stable LaVora Wayment Keith Duncan Ad. Mgr. Courier Editor Times Editor Staff Staff Staff Cindy Shy Pam Zaugg Tracie Bailey Dear Sir: Although we have never had the opportunity of meeting each other I have heard a great deal about you from one of Roy, Utahs most wonderful citizens. That person is one Emma Russell. Let me explain. About one year ago, when I was working with a printing firm in Salt Lake City, Mrs. Russell brought her manuscript in to see if we could publish it. It was a large project the manuscript was at least 700 pages long and contained well over 200 pictures we werent sure if we could handle such a large task. After deliberation, and several more meetings with Mrs. Russell, we signed a contract for the job. At least three to four months had elapsed. I had the privilege of spending hours on end reading the entire manuscript and making suggestions, corrections, etc. During that time I got to know the people, places and history of Roy as if it were my own hometown and I had never been there. (My first visit to your fair city was on Jan. 11 of this year!) Due to uncontrollable circumstances, I was not able to personally supervise the project for Mrs. Russell, as I left that particular company but maintained correspondence with Mrs. Russell thereafter. You see, when 1 met Mrs. Russell, I was rather amazed that such a fragile woman had done such a wonderful service to her community. I came to love her very much-sh- e is so special. It is not an easy task to put together a book, especially a history of a city like Roy. The dedication, the long, hard hours of writing and editing-reall- y an amazing feat. I am honored to have been able to make acquaintance with Mrs. Russell and contribute my small part to FOOTPRINTS OF ROY and to your community. I thank you most sincerely. Perhaps the greatest honor came when Mrs. Russell presented me with an autographed copy, thanking me for my help, of her book. Few communities in the world have an Emma Russell and Roy should be proud to have such a person, and to have their very own history in a book. Just as I am proud, and honored, to be able to place Footprints of Roy in a prominent place upon my library shelf. budget is adequate compensation for public sector employees, and he went on to state that his proposal should be g sufficient (in most districts) to provide for a adjustment and normal longevity increments for teachers. Analysis of the proposal shows that it would not fund the increase, pay increments and follow the Governors statement that it is a 99 percent maintenance budget. The Governor stated that his recommendation for public education in 1980-8-1 is a 15.6 percent increase over the current estimate for 1979-8Educators should understand the implications of that figure. First of all, a 5.85 percent increase is needed just to provide for the student population growth next year in Utah. That leaves only 9.75 percent to meet inflation, and it should be remembered that the Price Index climbed by 12.1 percent (the Governor's figure) from Oct. 1, 1978 to Sept. 30, 1979. It should also be remembered that the cost of increments and lane changes amounts to an additional 2 percent, approximately. In light of this, it is unrealistic to assume that school increase to employees districts could provide a with the appropriation proposal. The Governors proposal calls for an increase of only 11.5 in the Weired Pupil Unit, and assumes that school districts cut back their budgets this year to make a four percent saving in the face of a tax revenue shortfall. I am very disappointed the Legislature Republican has refused to even consider H.J.R. 9, which would require legislators to live in the which elected district Foamer MUST GO! RAPCO FOAM Is out.

Let a family argument occur just before young Carl leaves for school. It may upset him so much that he simply cant concentrate on his studies for hours. A problem with a friend or another student can affect a young person the same way. Some youngsters come to school hungry, and teachers will tell you emphatically: Hungry kids cant learn. Many a teacher is confronted with the problem of a youngster falling asleep in class. Parent scan help to remedy this problem by making certain that students gej to bed early enough to get proper rest. Sometimes, its a physical problem that stands between the youngster and learning. If a child cannot hear well, that child may not be able to learn well. If Carl cant see the blackboard, he may be missing a major part of his lessons. Those are problems that often are easily overcome, once recognized. As important as any of those learning problems is one thats growing in our society today.

Most of the other district expenditures are fixed charges costs over which the district has little or no control.
