The young people of Clearfield are important and more people should become involved with them. Having made the choice to make Clearfield our home, I feel it is important to become involved in city affairs. All decisions of the council for the needs of the city, will have a direct or indirect affect upon my family.

With new leadership, I envision a restoration of mutual understanding and respect between citizens and city government. I am eager to tackle current problems, gam and citizen confidence, our hopefully improve management practices. DONALD K. McDougal, a native of Idaho and Utah has resided in Clearfield for the past nine years, is chairman of the Clearfield Planning Commission and has served on the planning commission for eight months. He formerly worked at HAFB as an electronics technician and now is the owner and broker of a local real estate firm as well as a cor- - porate officer for a construction company. A member of the Clearfield Kiwanis, Chamber of Commerce, and past secretary of the North Davis Exchange Club, he is active in civic and church activities. mr. McDougal is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He attended Ricks College and Weber State. He and his wife, Kay Lynne, are the parents of six children, three boys and three girls. Mr. McDougal says, I have worked closely with the city government, and have discovered the kinds of things that have made good operations in our city, but 1 have also discovered that serious weak areas in our city management have caused our city to miss opportunities and fall short of our potential. AS AN independent businessman, I can offer initiative, and the ability to make decisions in a fair and equitable way, at a time when the decisions need to be made. I offer integrity and a sincere desire to serve the citizens of Clearfield. Progressive Party Candidate Cornell H. Griffeth moved to Clearfield with his wife Judy, seven years ago; shortly after leaving the Marine Corps after serving in Vietnam. They decided to make Clearfield their home and proud to be citizens of Clearfield. They reside here with their three daughters and two sons. HE IS a businessman being a partner in a dental laboratory; doing business in Ogden and surrounding area. He has served his church in a strong and moral police department, to maintain a safe place where my family and the citizens of Clearfield can live and shop, said Mr. Griffeth. WHEN our laws are enforced and we have very little crime we can attract new businesses through the area along with maintaining those businesses already serving the citizens of Clearfield and surrounding communities, he continued. A strong police department is important in the growth of our city, but as our city grows, so must those areas which must meet the needs of citizens, young and old alike. As these needs arise I know I can objectively listen to all issues and good sound judgment; make proper and honest decisions which will be for the best welfare, for the citizens of Clearfield. AS A candidate for coun- I believe in good honest government of, by and cilman, for the people. I have seen other forms of governments from Europe and Asia and had opportunities to live under their systems. With this knowledge I know the citizens of Clearfield can put their trust in me to uphold their rights as Americans living in Clearfield. This trust I will hold sacred, and ask for your support m the coming elections. support our party platform which is in the best interest of the fieople and their I needs, along with good, sound city financial policies, he concluded. THE Progressive Party has adopted the following plat- form; A requirement that Clearfield city officials live in Clearfield; a review of city operations and organization structure to find a better way of making our city government run more efficiently.

FEEL that iime again they will indeed fulfill the trust that the people have put in them, bv listening to the desires of the majority of the residents who dotted them to WE office. A few individuals are trying to answer in private conver- sations over the telephone, items of great interest to the citizens that are truely concerned with the future of our city, questions that could be misunderstood as to the real reasons why they are taking action to rezone the ground just to the east and north of the Kaysville Seventh and Tenth LDS Ward House. THESE ISSUES should not be discussed and debated over such an impersonal device such as a telephone, but should be discussed at a public hearing where the citizens not only hear both sides of the issue but also voice their opinion, ask their questions, and receive answers from the people who will this issue, the decide members of the city council Only by attending the public hearing, citizens can see and hear for themselves who is trying to misrepresent the facts and who in reality are interested in the monetary gains to be made at the expense and inconvenience of the majority of citizens who have nothing to gain from this action in the way of profits,' yet they are the people that will have to contend with the overflow of traffic, in an area that already has more than its share of traffic problems, more than its share of noise problems, and at times when our children have to walk to school and return home from si hook THIS ISSUE alone should weigh heavy on the minds of the city count il By rezoning the proposed area which in the words of the person's requesting it is just a com field, they will turn just a com field into a commercial monster, that is neither majority have wanted by the with the of citizens who will to cope problems connected with this department. A FIRM stand against lawlessness, drugs and of monster, nor that is needed by them at this time or in the immediate future. WE WOULD very much encourage all citizens to call the persons making the rezomng request, and then attend the public hearing with a list of questions that we feel will either be unanswered or clouded over by an impersonal telephone call to these individuals. Our God given right as citizens of the United States of America is to stand up and voice our opinion in public without fear of reprisal. THE PUBLIC hearing will be held October 18 at the Kaysville City Hall at 7:30 p m. All citizens are urged to attend with their list of questions Andrew D.

IN KAYSVILLE LAWN MOWER Stailffi MuHiresses Kowaoios Davis County Sheriff Dub Lawrence, speaking to the Kiwanis Club of Layton at their regular Saturday morning meeting on October 8, 1977, discussed some issues with respect to law enforcement. SHERIFF Lawrence stated that he has a firm conviction that the enforcement of the laws should not be a respecter of persons. All citizens, forcement of officers and politically powerful citizens, should be treated the same as all other citizens. He ran for the office of sheriff in order to get an opportunity to put his ideals into practice. He became a Democrat because there was not a Democratic candidate for sheriff, having been a Republican at that time. As chief law enforcement official in the county, he had to learn how the office should function and he had to rearrange the organization of the department. 0 or any C.
