In 1954 the office expanded to an addition placed on the front of the home. This was large enough to accommodate an office area, the managers office and a conference and work room.

Soon after the Wagners moved to Layton there was a natural gas shortage. Only a limited number of customers were allowed to sign-u- p for natural gas service.

At Central Davis Junior High School a special awards and recognition assembly was held to publicly recognize students who had contributed to themselves, the school and the community. Special attention was paid to ninth graders who achieved during their three-yea- r junior high career in the areas of scholarship and citizenship. Debbie Winegar, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Winegar, received the Helen and Noall Z. Tanner Award. This special recognition is given to a 9th grade student who achieves in the areas of 1 and Clearfield. During this same period of time, Mountain Fuel had offices in Bountiful, Roy and later Clearfield. In 1948 Walt and Eleanor Wagner moved to Layton to operate the Mountain Fuel office. Mrs. Wagner recalls this was an ideal situation. Her husband read the meters and answered service calls. She lived in the house, cared for her family of three children and hold e down a job which consisted of answering the telephone and waiting on customers who came to the office to pay their bill. CDJH has successful year As parents become more educated. they began to be more assertive in their demands on schools. Leaders at all levels including those in schools learned they had to be open and responsive to students. parents and just plain taxpayers. learned that good relations depend on mutual respect and appreciation for each other's contributions. Educators found out that the effect of the home environment on student achievement exceeds the effect of schooling and of measured student aptitude. We discovered that parents' assistance, therefore, was essential to the success of students and the public schools. When parents work at a full partnership, academic achievement rises. Student behavior improves. School motivation increases. Attendance becomes more regular.

If so, you ought to know about a special IRS office that can help. The Problem Resolution Prog- ram (PRP) Office can cut through normal channels to help taxpayers with problems. The most common problems brought to the PRP office are com- plaints about missing refunds, mixed up social security numbers, incorrect billings by IRS, and situations caused by taxpayer error, the IRS says. They cautioned, however, that the Problem Resolution should not be used as a substitute for normal procedures. t RECENT BLOCKBUSTER WINNERS in Kaysville Chamber of Commerce contest have included, from left, Bryan Cuneo, Betty Shaw and LuAnn Lincoln. 1 e i J 5 1 |
