Main, Kaysville r l l I l I el AFTER considering the matter, Davis County Commissioners approved calling for bids for the two eight-channradios and agreed to sign a purchase order for the two ambulances and forward that order to the Utah State 376-24-2- Division of Health. The bids for the box type ambulances on a truck chassis was made by Superior Ambulance Corp. of Lima, Ohio. Three other companies bid on the vehicles. Other companies were awarded the low bid for other types of vehicles for use in other cities. COMMISSIONER C.E. Moss expressed concern that the county is still not sure what they will do with the ambulances when they arrive sometime after Christmas. Commissioner Glen Flint said the county will get the vehicles and then decide what to do. Commissioners were referring to the fact that there are currently two ambulance companies in the north end of the county Ace Ambulance, Ogden and North Davis Ambulance, Layton. The present situation is in a state of flux since Ace Ambulance has lost its certificate of need, but is still in operation on a limited basis until licensing through the State Division of Health is finally resolved.

The lack of support from these cities was based on the controversy that surrounds the two ambulance companies currently in operation in the north. Language Arts Concept Told School Board By GARY R. BLODGETT A new concept in teaching and study of language arts was introduced to the Davis Board of Education Tuesday night by Mrs. Elaine Charvoz, district coordinator. "THE concept we are teaching now is not entirely said Mrs. new, of course, Charvoz, but the program does have a new twist to it." Spelling, for example, is n taught by a method of where words are categorized to the sounds of the language instead of word-relatio- memorized. SHE TOLD the board that students will most often use the first 1,000 words that they learn to spell. Of these mos't commonly used words, she said, only about 15 percent (150 words) have an unusual spelling which the students must elementary-ag- elementary students and referred to these snurk words as violators of the system. MOST OF our spelling program is derived from the William Kottmeyer system of sound language which was adopted after 1955, she said. Prior to that time, students memorized the list of 5,000 or used 6,000 words. But the latter method had too many exceptions to the rule. Referring to handwriting, Mrs. Charvoz said teachers are being urged to hold handwriting classes at least once every day in the elementary grades. most-common- e memorize. Many students do not really learn to spell when they have to memorize word spelling, but words learned through sound language are retained quite well because there is a relationship between words. SHE referred to the common sound words that have an unusual spelling as snerks or snurke, both coined words referring to odd spellings. She noted that vowel sounds cause the most trouble among there is more SHE SAID emphasis being put on the size, slant, shape, spacing so that and style of writing it can be read by others. We should have our children develop their own style of handwriting its the biggest trademark of their life but we should also demand a high quality of from our handwriting students, she said. Oppose Rezoning IN ANOTHER matter, Miss Anderson asked commissioners to put their influence behind a move to keep the administration of all housing authority funds in Davis County. She said state government has said they will take over Section 8 funds and control accounting procedures through the state office. Miss Anderson said the housing authority is requesting a meeting with Governor Scott Matheson to present the board's opposition to the state emergency appropriations and the farm labor units in Layton are also placed under the administration of the housing authority. MISS ANDERSON said the rent supplement program is important since MISS ANDERSON called the state plan disastrous." Section 8 funds provide rent supplements to 200 families in the county and supply the largest single source of funds distributed through the housing authority. This section provides that 200checks must be made out to landlords to provide rent supplements. Miss Anderson have to be updated.
