Library Director Jeanne Layton told the library board of directors Monday morning. more Although children attended the South Branchs program over the North Branch, 35 fewer book, were checked out that day. "We didnt have any more one-fourt- h than 30 picture books at the South Branch, that day, she said, emphasizing, the childrens picture book stock is pretty well depleted. what we think is a very serious problem. Many children left without any library books. Next year we will assess whether to have a program unless we can build up the childrens collection, she said further. We will have to take a very strong look at it. Indicating some childrens books are based at South Branch, she said many youngsters go to the check-ou- t desk for books vs. checking the shelves, grabbing them as soon as theyre checked back in. NOTING emphasis has been placed on building the branch collections over the last two years, Ms. Layton says moneys a problem when faced with only an $85,000 book quisition budget. A ac- picture book often costs about $12.50, for example. The stock at the north is holding up pretty well, she explained, with a consider able number of books based at the Farmington headquarters transferred to Bountifttl to buoy up the collection. or the CIRCULATION, number of items checked out of the libraries, continues to rise, with the South Branch continuing to lead the three libraries although the North has seen large increases. In May, for example, South circulation jumped 22 percent, to 17,745, representing nearly half the whole system. At North, a sizeable 42 percent increase was noted, with 12,744 items checked out. Headquarters recorded a 13 percent climb to 6,246. The South Branch could see check out of a quarter million volumes over the year, Ms. Layton indicated.

Harold Tippetts emphasized, noting city and county crews must safeguard against improper construction and dumping that has already included 55 gallon drums. City building engineers and inspectors w ill be meeting with county officials to determine future planning action, it was decided. THE STUDY netted six ma- jor problems: situations where construction of a public street is practically or economically infeasible, usually due to landlocked property or a small number of dwelling units involved. In some cases, private roads have been used to cir- cumvent subdivision standards when a public street could've been built, In addition, the private right-of-wa- y often has no clear mainte- ownership bringing nance problems to residents and the county. Conceivable fire protection problems could develop with poorly maintained and-o- r narrow roads. In addition, private roads would interfere with future development of adjacent properties. PLANNER Barry Burton noted some cities have dey veloped private right-of-wa- road standards with Farming-to- hard-surface- d ership or maintenance agreements have been defined with that falling into a gentleman's agreement. Mr. Jacobs proposed setting reup an escrow account-typ- e quirement where two or more owners would set aside funds that could be tapped for future development such as is often done in other construction. That feasibility will be determined by the county attorney, it was decided. Promoted Cheryl Baxter, daughter of Cletes L. Baxter of Troy, Mich, and Gary C.

I Its About Time What IdemAbout Bunny To Eat And At What Time By VICKIE MATHESON My husband, Mark, says I shouldn't eat popcorn for breakfast. He says it will upset my stomach. But I dont like pancakes or cereal in the morning. I like a light meal of popcorn and if I want something heavier, I usually settle on pizza and cookies. PEOPLE HAVE funny ideas about what the proper time is to eat certain foods. Dont you find it strange that you shouldnt eat pizza for breakfast? Now if you took the ham and cheese off the pizza and placed them in an omlette, watered down the tomato sauce to make tomato juice and made the flour and water crust into bread and threw it in the toaster-th- en you could have pizza for breakfast. People also have mixed up notions about the right time to eat potatoes. When was the last time you had a good baked potato after crawling out of bed in the morning? It is more likely that you had hashbrowns for breakfast, the baked potato for dinner and French fries for lunch. And people contend you shouldn't eat hamburger for for breakfast either-ste- ak rger no. I HAVE tried to find explanations for the rules governing the proper time to eat things. Perhaps it has something to do with nutrition. Maybe the body can only digest certain foods at certain times of the day. But why, if breakfast is the most important meal of the day, do we fix a bowl of Wheaties instead of a bowl of spinach? Maybe it is a matter of convenience. But it seems to me that sandwiches are just as easy to fix in the morning as are pancakes, and I would rather drive to work with a mug full of soup in my hand than with a mug full of coffee. IT COULD have something to do with easing into the day. Perhaps it is easier to face the morning - vj y knowing that your cereal and eggs are comparatively cheap, later on you can handle the price of meat and fresh vegetables. For the calorie conscious, breakfast poses a difficult dilemma. Watching the butter and syrup drizzle over mounds of waffles can be depressing. But w ho ever heard of tossing a few greens with lemon juice for breakfast? The Israelis, thats w ho! Their breakfast often contains chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, onions, fish and garbanzo beans, even avocados. The Orientals have sliced tomatoes and onions and Australians eat pork chops for breakfast. IF THE truth were to be known, French mothers do not make little French children eat French toast for breakfast. They only eat bread and beverages. And at my house we are not going to succumb to the pressures of the all American breakfast. Now if I could just convince Mark that 6a,m. is the perfect time to eat Nachos... n requiring streets but he indicated under current county policy no own- DISASTER Unemployment Assistance is possible due to Davis County's designation as a federal disaster area.
