THE LIBRARY board made those moves Monday during a review of the bookmobile stops and policy. In deciding to stick with the current policy, it reaffirmed restricting stops to one mile or more from existing libraries except where a natu- ral or manmade barrier, such 3 as a freeway, makes travelling I distance more than one mile. The new Clinton stop will be z at 1800 N. 3000 W., and aug-ments the one stop in that city at 2200 N. 630 W. That stop averages 42 items checked out per hour during its three hour stop. Meanwhile, the Bounti- -' ful stop being eliminated aver- aged only 26 items per hour and is close to a heavily used :: Centerville stop, the board noted. Z THE BOARD had asked for a review and possible revision of the bookmobile policy at the j time Library Director Jeanne Layton was reinstated in Janu- ary. The one mile limit from the library had been a conten- : tion point. Other changes included relocating a stop in the 3120 S. Crestview area where only 25 items are circulated an hour on the average. It stops there for 'i hours. In Centerville, time will be added at 600 E. Porter Lane, currently at one hour and at 400 E. 200 N., also now at one hour. More time will be allocated in Layton at 1900 N. Angel, now at 45 minutes; South Webers Koziar Hills subdivision, at one hour now and in West Bountiful at 1833 N. 600 W. and 700 W. 1590 N. Both are currently served 1 A hours. ON THE other hand, time will be reduced at three Layton locations: 900 N. Diamond from Vi hours; Vae View subdivision, from 2Vi hours and 2500 N. 2700 E. from VA hours. Before reaffirming the one mile policy, Board Chairman Evan Whitesides said he had 1 received two or three calls from state library officials asking if bookmobiles would be stopping at schools while in session. Currently, bookmobiles are not stationed at any school. COMMENTING on con- tinuing that policy was Helen Sheffield, former schools I think media coordinator. the philosophy of the bookmobile is to take the books to peo- ple who dont have one nearby. And Library Director Jeanne Layton said, We have 40 elementary schools now and well have three more next fall. All we could do is take it (bookmobile) once a month to each school. WHILE IT was agreed bookmobiles should not be placed at schools, board mem- bers agreed more service should be planned for the fastgrowing northwest portion of the county. Theres no question the northwest is developing rapidly. Its getting very little service now and as the county grows we may have to look at more service, Board Member Morris Swapp said. Currently, the county has a contract with the State Library Board providing two bookmobiles at a county cost of about $45,000 yearly. That is further subsidized from state monies. IN A breakdown of bookmobile hours to each area it was shown that Bountiful, with a library, also has 23 hours service, including 20 'A within V2 miles of the South Branch. Clearfield, also housing a lib rary, has 2Vi hours bookmobile service and no service within V2 miles. Farmington, where the headquarters library is located, currently has no stops. In other areas without nearby libraries, Centerville and North Salt Lake had the most hours covered, on average. Centerville, with 18'2 hours service, could average 334 people per hour based on 6, 1 88 population. In North Salt Lake, with 3,384 population and 10 hours service, about 338 people an hour could be served. THE OTHER extreme, besides Clearfield, was shown in south Davis unincorporated, where four hours would average out to 2,847 an hour and Clinton, where another stop will be set up, with 1 ,424 for its three hour stop. Service to Kaysville is not included because that city operates its own library. Kays. C. of C.

The Davis School District is niw accepting applications for their preschool age children Head Start program. It is the gpal of Head Start to enroll e z ery eligible four year old in Davis County in this worth- while learning program. : i Z v-- E Head Start emphasizes that parents are their childrens first teachers. They continue to be their childrens most im- portant teachers throughout childhood. Parents are continuously encouraged to visit the classroom and to participate as fully as possible. j THE HEAD START prog- rim is based on the belief that Z all children share certain needs and that children of low in- come families can benefit from z i i: : ; Z X Z i 3 atomprehensive developmen-f- j tal program that meets these basic needs, : The overall goal of the Head Start program is to bring about a jgreater degree of social com-- : in-pfetence in children of low j come families. Children will learn to better deal with their present environment and their later responsibilities in school and life. INCLUDED in the Head Siart program are school ex-- i periences, family services and health care furnished by social and community workers, by ibjtfgfessional educators, by nuTSes, dentists and doctors and by volunteers. BEFORE A child starts school, the teacher and an aide visit the home to welcome the child and his family into the Head Start program. Goals for all children include: To help them learn to work and play independently; to develop their use of lan- guage through listening and speaking; to exercise curiosit-y- ; to learn mathematical concepts like sequence, quantity, number, sorting; to understand their world through science, books, field trips, films; to develop physical coordination; to grow in their ability to control inner destructive impulses; to learn how to get along comfortably with others and to view themselves as competent and valued HEAD START does not mean doing sooner what children do in first and second grade. It means doing preschool work of differentiating and discriminating sounds, shapes, colors, textures, quan- tities and meanings. These concepts are necessary before a child can learn the three Rs. Head Start can be a good start for disadvantaged children.

Logan carpenter Anthon Anderson took his two sons as partners and leased a sawmill from Christian Garff. One of the sons, A.E. Anderson, wrote of those days: My brother Bob and myself were then taken into the business. I had some little experience in the building of homes and at that time I was getting $2 a day for ten hours work, and I left this lucrative position to go with dad. Bob had no experience in business at all, but we plugged along for five years in a very crude way. WE HAD a horse and cart fortransportation to and from work, and the first year in business saved enough to buy a horse and wagon for our delivery service. Our bookkeeping was very crude, as none of us knew anything about accounting. We had no sales slips, using instead blocks of wood, scraps of paper, to make notations on (when we didnt forget) and then at night we gathered these blocks and papers together and made the entries in a day book and then into a ledger.
