Too often law enforcement officers have been killed or wounded when someone who had already committed a criminal act chose to shoot it out rather than face questioning. Few of us would like the job of stopping a car in the middle of the night when a backup officer might be miles away at the next town or in a situation where he could not immediately respond. Law officers don't like it either, but they do it. As we slumber peacefully in our beds and the years roll on most of us give not a single thought to the risks law enforcement officers take in protecting us and that they accept as a part of the job. More respect for the job they do could help to instill respect for law throughout the whole country. Miss Boyack, a major communications, earned a 4 0 grade point average.

The message told us to follow His example that we may enjoy the abundant blessings of God. Our church leaders tell us that in order to enjoy our lives to the utmost, we must become involved in our communities as well as our churches. Our communities are where our children come in contact with the largest part of their world. If we do not set the example and strive to do our part as well as support our leaders in doing their part, what will be here for tomorrow? To get involved does not mean that we arm ourselves with untruths, criticism and vicious words. It does not mean that we set forth so armed and spread discontent throughout our community. Some of the rumors and untruths being spread would be downright humorous if it were not for the fact that these ugly concerns gain momentum and erode the very foundations of our community. Progress sometimes comes to a grinding halt because leaders give up and decide, Whats the use? Some of you may wonder what rumor I am talking about. Well, for example, did you know that the only reason the Mayor and Council zoned State Street as they did was because they were going to monopolize the rest of the land and make themselves rich. Also, were you aware that the mayor ran for office so she could get herself a big salary? (Just in passing, my salary amounts to about 10 cents per hour and out of that I must pay for gas and meals to the many meetings I must attend.) We sought office because we felt an obligation to do something in the interests of our community. Citizens! Believe it or not there are a lot of people who are willing to donate their time civicly. They are putting forth miles of effort toward a better way of life. Without these people we would be unable to progress in our smaller cities because the cost of paying for projects would be insurmountable. For example, the Lions club has spent many hours putting in street signs over ther the last few months plus their many other projects over the years. The Chamber of Commerce spends a lot of time on projects beneficial to our city. They are now seeking avenues to find funds for a community center and swimming pool. Together with the City they sponsored the Easter Egg Hunt. We have volunteers who are going to paint and restore the old depot. They have hopes of turning it into an art center. Our transportation committee has been helping the city crews repair broken equipment. Glen Hardwich has spent many hours this week getting some welding done. We also have a rodeo committee working with the young people. Our Beautification and Recreation committees are getting their programs ready to go. The Power Board has already helped us in many ways to save money in the Power Department and the Industrial Board is working to get their program launched. Within just the past week the Water and Sewer Committee got together to see what they could do to help. These are just a few of the people who are willing to help and through the volunteer efforts of these people come progress and the better things we want for our community. I saw a quote today that said, You can get everything in life that you want if you will help enough people get what they want! Wont you join us? Amoir Deuel Mayor P. 0.

If Where Mayors Corner The FEATURE WRITERS Norita Lancaster Have we come to the end of line? Father saddened at sons death self-hat- Dear Editor: This is written to all Fairview Citizens age 21 and older. In order to advance Kelvin Petersen winter quarter at Southern Utah State Consider risks officers take Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Bert Willden of Ephraim retired March 31 after 30 years of law enforcement duty. His retirement came without fanfare, other than recognition for the good job he has done. That is the way most law enforcement officers would have it in spite of the service they have given for all of us throughout a period of many years. Trooper Willden is one of two dedicated officers who retired in Sanpete in the past few years. The other was Trooper Gayle Rasmussen of Moroni. Many other conscientious officers are still on duty giving service to their communities. Too few of us think about the possible risk in each stop an officer makes. Most of the time the stop is routine but no one except the person in the car knows what he THE VIEW FROM HERE With prices rising annually at more than ten percent, the cost of buying was cheaper than saving. It just didn't pay to save. It simply did not make sense economically to save for a couple of years to buy a new car when the purchase price by that time had climbed several times higher than the interest paid on a loan. But as prices soared, demands for higher wages soared with them. Like a runner who never stopped to rest, our borrowing and spending pace accelerated. There was never time to stop and conreplace the energy we used buying and suming. And where were we running. Like a squirrel in a cage-- - around in circles never catching up. Spiraling inflation, economists call it. With only a few people putting their money in savings, soon the money supply became scarce, spelling doom for the housing and auto industries and others who happened to get trapped. People could no longer buy new cars and new homes and pay the high interest rates. Sales dropped, there was no money to pay people and unemployment increased. Suddenly we had reached the end of the line. In spite of all we read and hear, however, all is not gloom and doom. Remember if nine precent are unemployed, 91 percent are still working. And of those nine percent half are perennially out of work or changing jobs. Something else might happen, too. Those who have jobs may learn to appreciate them more, productivity might rise again and with increased efficiency the cost of goods and services may drop. But we cannot go back to buying a household of furniture for $100 unless we roll back wages to $1 a day. Even though our purchasing power would be similar, Uncle Sam wouldnt let us get away with that. Few of us would be paying taxes. Happy April 15. Mey 1 May I Mny 15 Mny 22 Amoir Deuel Mayor i |
