SEVERAL years ago. George Everett, 2388 N. 690 W.. Clinton, was forced to retire from hisconstruction trade because of ill health. Finding much time on his hands, Everett began making wooden toys for his 28 grandchildren. I need to keep myself away from the TV, he says. "It would be too easy to sit in the house all day and die." Using pictures of toys from catalogs and advertisements. Everett drew plans and began manufacturing. He has since purchased additional plans and makes approximately 70 different wooden toys, ranging from little girls' dish cupboards to toddlers pull toys. His products have become so popular among family members and friends that the word is spreading and the demand is increasing. He will make toys for anyone and is happy to use his own plans or those of the customer. FORCED retirement at age 57 does not provide a large income. and times have been hard for Everett. After receiving help from Human Services through another of their programs. he recognized his ability 441 44 hiJ 4 cl f f iira8 M Li fe 4V4 v 04 .fM 04 rt-fft- i4i tutfM tfi4 irjvit Ca4 ffi he tofpur ycart. to help someone else and last year offered some of hi creations to be given to needy children a Christmas presents. He has also given toys to Deseret Industries and the Hill Field Christmas program. Everett is typical of many generous people in the county who are donating their means and talents to improve Christmas for their neighbors as a Sponsor for Santa. Nearly 50 individuals, businesses, school groups, and civic organizations have already applied to be sponsors, many of which will help several needy families. However, many more are needed as nearly 200 families applied for help by the second of December. PROSPECTIVE sponsors may volunteer by calling Huuntil man Services at Dec. 22. Those needing help must apply in person at room 223 of the county courthouse in Farmington from 4 Monday through Friday until Dec. 451-33- 9-- y tt ml 1 an FARMINGTON -- - Two separate public hearings were held last week regarding the proposed Davis County Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Ordinance be- fore the State Air Quality Board. DAVIS COUNTY residents had the opportunity at the hearings to voice their concerns with the proposal and the way it will be administered. About 20 people showed up for the first hearing at the county courthouse in Farmington. Very few statements were actually made at the hearing, however. Most of the merely wanted some questions about the proposals answered. ts EROL ERICKSEN of Farmington asked how long the program would be in existence in the county. According to the proposed ordinance, all 1968 model or newer vehicles will have to be inspected annually for emissions standards before they can be registered. L Air Quality Director Brent C. Bradford said that the program would remain in operation as long us the county remained in violation of the federal air quality standards. Since the county must have two straight years without a single air quali- ty violation, however, the soonest that the program could be dropped would be the end of 1986. . . WHILE THE program is in operation, it should be "self according to Davis funded, County Com. Harry Gerlach. That means that in addition to whatever the inspection stations charge for the tests, the county will tack on another dollar to vehicle registration fees to pay for the administra-tio- n and policing of the program. Com. Gerlach explained that the county would be responsible for certifying both mechanics and the testing stations and making sure that the equipment used is in proper calibration. THE COUNTY will not, however, be supplying the emissions testing equipment to tiA Acted 14 I4 ftd ftivaf p.ktr, T'-t- t IS hat 4 hf l a.t 1 14 da I5.il tl tM4 t) war i!iv-- 4 44,al M alad W lf Ihe "if hutt pt fl.u cit.cd, (I4.ut5 r.i-- my wrt4i P4 0ie null ijtltM t4i I 0.4 fe .. bf 4 14 frt 0.054 fftfcrpt! e tpprf netey thi ? al year n 1M acre an.

By TOM fttMl FBI KG - KAYSVILLE If y ou like sating nearly half on many long distance telephone call, then an alternative service may be the answer. BLT, IF you don't want to fool wuh up to 24 digits before your call goes through, possibly an extra monthly charge and billing for call even if no one answers the phone but based on the number of rings. you may want to stay with AT&T for long distance service. The lime's fast approaching when that choice has to be made, either by your selecting from one of the many alterna- tive long distance firms, or come Jan. I, you'll automatically join the AT&T long distance service, explains Patsy Search, manager of the Silver Age Senior Citizens Center in Kasyville who has conducted an study into the "divestiture" question that will affect everyone along the Wasatch Front. SHE'S HELD several semi-na- n with hundreds of senior citizens in Davis County and plans other sessions, working to acquaint that group-ma- ny on fixed income and often using the telephone less than large families.

TIILY'LL BE working for seven regional companies, with Utah served under the umbrella of Southwestern Bell although it'll still be known locally as Mountain Bell, she says. Here are some of the charges customers can look forward to: AT&T plans to lower rates by 10.5 percent early next year e although some regional com- panies have requested what Mrs. Search terms "substantial" increases in local phone service; one-sto- p telephone shopping will end. with the customer forced to deal w ith at least two phone companies-o- ne for local and the other e service. THE BREAKUP will mean higher local rates, higher installation and service call fees. The consumer can save money on phone rental by purchasing his own equipment with competition spurring a downward trend in telephone equipment costs, she says. Firms selling equipment will offer different guarantees and repair procedures, possible creating confusion about where and how to get your telephone repaired. KaysviUe William H.

"If a station wants to participate, they will have to buy their own equipment and take the authorized training courses, he added. Former Sunset Mayor Mike Burnson said that he would rather see a centralized program developed to give the program greater consistency. I don't think that mechanics in the county know enough ab- out EPA standards. With this program, you will have as many standards as there are stations, he said. our air quality problems, he said. ACCORDING TO the proposed ordinance, all vehicles registered in the county will first have to undergo the emissions test except for: (1) motorcycles, (2) new motor vehicles (current model year), (3) electric or diesel powered vehicles, (4) vehicles with less than 40 cubic inches of engine displacement, (5) agricultural implements and vehicles, (6) d vehicles not designed or registered for highway oper8 model ation, and (7) vehicles. off-roa- pre-196- ONE SUCH centralized program was rejected by the county last fall when commissioners feared that it was too late to change directions and still meet federal deadlines for getting an emissions control program started. Mr. Bradford added that the current proposal was de- veloped after studying all the different programs now in existence in the country and e visits to areas making on-sit- with similar situations. Weve tried to take the best points from the different programs and tailor them to meet County Environmental Health Director Richard Harvey explained that diesel powered vehicles were exempt because they did inot emit the type of pollutants that the county was in violation for. He added that propane powered vehicles would still have to undergo the testing since most propane stystems are mixing with regular gasoline. MR. HARVEY said that whether or not the program would make any visible difference in smog levels was un duel-fuele- d, Touchtone equipment is required for Btort systems, she adds, with two separate bills coming. Monthly service charges are required by many with some billing for m. . cn feet if no one answer.

"AT&T plans to compete for the customer," she says, "and will not allow customers to be lured away. Their objective is to let people 'choose e them as their telephone service since they maintain that service is still a 'good' bargain. THE CUSTOMER, admist all the 'wooing' of all competitive companies can no longer be uneducated," Mrs. Search continues. "We must become aware and informed. Everything but the making of a local call is fast becoming an unregulated competitive scramble. Everyone will experience some confusion over some aspects of telephone service, so consumer education has become essential. Several alternative long distance telephone companies have been advertising their services, as well, offering strong points of savings, more tailored services, shorter billing intervals, prompt payment discounts and even may not North County Editor Since pollutants are invisible to the naked eye they do not contribute much to the visible smog in the county. They are poisonous, however, and could contribute to health related pollution problems, said Mr. Harvey. THE ORDINANCE also establishes the maximum repair costs for emission control repairs. The maximum figure is set between $60 and $ 50 depending on the model year of the vehicle. Since major mechanical problems are exempt from repair requirements, however, Mr. Harvey estimates that the actual repair bills will be much lower than the maximum figures. In New York, where car repairs are much higher than they are here, the average emissions repair is only about 1 $29, he said. - After thousands of FARMINGTON hours in work by both the PTA and a school-distrisponsored committee, preliminary recommendations are in the hands of the board of education for their refining at a Dec. 27 session. ct THE NOW familiar recommendations of removing many from the regular school day to more emphasis on the "basics are included in both reports, although the district's guidelines fall short of the state board of education suggestions (see "In Tom's Opinion on that subject elsewhere in this issue).

Sponsors usually provide Christmas dinner and toys for the younger children, although people who can't help a whole family are welcome to donate food, clothing, or toys which can be given to families not assigned to a sponsor. Cash donations are also welcome and will be used to purchase fresh food such as turkeys, produce, and dairy products to accompany canned goods for Christmas dinners. ifxWn. peitit 4 an4 h t4Jbn 04 C0nr.it Thrt'i qaite rrsp (4 proef mtenurt-- ll plvt-C- iJ 0.th at lett 0ir y fr kf niTY-At- t tatpayer r the the mtclte.
