Improvements THE VIEW FROM HERE reservoir STERLING- - This year after irrigating season, , extensive improvements will begin at Nine Mile Reservoir, a mile south of Sterling on Highway 89, officials of the Gunnison Loving pets by by night day-kill- ers other peoples dogs demand that action be taken and back up law officers who enforce the law which allows dogs to be shot if they are bothering, worrying, harassing or molesting animals. Some people who follow every other law and are the nicest people you could imagine still think it is their right to let their dogs run loose, and others just dont care what their animals do. No one likes to see a dog shot, but if it takes that drastic a measure to make people live up to responsibility for their animals, maybe that is the only solution and sheep owners and other interested parties should let their city officials know that they are fed up with the situation as it EDITORIAL In recent weeks there have been reports by several people in Mt. Pleasant and other valley towns that their sheep have been killed by dogs. This is a problem as old as time, it seems in this area, and irresponsible dog owners apparently plan to go on letting their dogs run loose especially at night. Supposedly, the cities have a dog leash law. The problem with enforcing the law may be that there is not enough personnel to handle the problem. Some action can be had by the damaged party filing a complaint with the local Justice of the Peace. It would seem that the matter will continue until sheep owners and others who are sick and tired of being bothered by now is.

As our young girls walk down the aisle to receive their high school diplomas this week, some will be contemplating the security which they believe comes with marriage and having a family. Many will see this new role in life as the end of a struggle and a commencement of their increase capacity the storage of the reservoir to 3,500 acre feet.

Not that the right marriage isn't happy and fulfilling, but the cold, hard fact is that the prince on the white stallion is usually found only in story books. Statistics, unfortunately, show that today most marriages will end in divorce and that 90 percent of all women will be in the labor force at some time during their lives. Its a tough world out there.

First Amendment, V.S. Constitution. That times are changing no one needs to be told. But are we changing attitudes to meet the times? Do our young girls have a choice? The difference between men and women in the work force is about 53 cents for every dollar a man earns. Forty percent of the working women are employed in only seven different types of jobs such as waitresses, clerical and other service and fields. Why? Simply, because most young girls were deluded into believing that they had no other choice and did not prepare for worthwhile careers. Girls, for example have been programmed to select service careers, Be a stenographer not a lawyer. How many women engineers do you know? Think about 1927, low-payi- it.. The fact that most girls want to be a wife and a mother and fulfill this noble calling is a beautiful dream, which can be a reality. For many women marriage and a family will be a life of satisfaction and contentment. This is as it should be. , But, if a young girl has failed to prepare herself to make a living should the need arise, either through death or divorce, she has no choice. unchallenging and She is forced into unfilling work. She will get the 53 cent job and in many cases will be the breadwinner of the family. If the average woman is going to have to work 15 to 25 years of her life outside the home she should be able to choose an area she has the interest, ability and aptitude for. Most men are taught from childhood to seek a worthwhile and financially rewarding career; and as they move into the work force, they will find jobs that attract them. A woman should set the same goal. She should be able to support herself even is ' she isnt planning on it. The odds are that sometime in her life, she low-payin- g, will have ' to.

Meyer said that in addition to the problems Jackson found, the city has been told by the city crew that the un- derside of the pool is hollow. If the pool were to collapse for any reason, Meyer said, the water would be immediately sucked downward and anyone in the pool at the time would likely be sucked down also. Meyer said, "Based on this recommendation and the crew's report the city has looked further Into the matter and found that the required repairs would cost over $20,00Q. Most of this cost would be in professional services which could not be provided on a volunteer basis. The City Council does not feel it can. justify thisjexpendilure and refuses to take aifttpnortcuts at the jeopardy of our children's health. For this reason, the pool will not open this .1 year". The council is looking into a number of alternatives, Meyer said, including working with the High school to build a new pool; temporarily bussing children g to other pools in the area; and the money normally used lor the pool into an expanded recreation program.
