In conversation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Mr. Larsen said he has learned that Pres. Reagan supports the idea of continued vocational training for the countrys youth. On the other hand, there is the matter of federal budget cutting. And that, says Larsen, has stepped up plans by Job Corp workers to try and get more out of their existing programs. THE CENTER director says he wants Utah children to buy into the program. The result will be a savings to the state and federal government. Although no one can pinpoint which centers will be closed in 1983, Mr. Larsen said he is confident that Weber Basin will not be among the few. across-the-boa- WE ARE funded through this year, he said, and there will be monies funded in 1983. But if it sounds like there is not going to be enough money, they (government) will have to close a handful of the centers. Mr. Larsen and 25 other center directors from throughout the U.S. meet once every six months with the national Job Corp director to concentrate on regional problems. The idea of the program begun 18 months ago is to identify conflicts throughout the system and come up with a solution. . - : - EVENTUALLY, the group will be responsible for determining a criteria aimed ' at singling out those centers which could be shut down in the event of further budget ' J ? i a r ...

CITY MANAGER Gayle Starks Tuesday read a letter from the district which says that, beginning Jan. 1, 1983, water users will pay $10 more per acre foot. Currently, Clearfield has access to over 3 ,700 acre feet of Weber Basin water at a rate of $48 per acre foot per year. "There is no conceivable way that the city can absorb that kind of a rate increase," Mr. Starks said, without forcing local water users to pay more for the service. THE CITY manager emphasized the fact that Weber Basin does not have the right to increase the footage rates, but can raise the price for maintenance and operation of the water source. In contacts with Weber Basin, Mr. Starks said he learned that the increase was voted in by district board members. One of the problems, Weber Basin says, is that the district has been "dipping" into its interest funds to cover maintenance and operations. In 1980 and 1981, the district claims over $800,000 in interest money was paid out to cover those costs. - IN THEIR letter to the city. Mr. Starks said Weber Basin officials announced, "w e cannot operate at a loss..., while at the same time claiming they are a "non-proforganization. The Bonnevista Water District is mounting a fierce campaign against Weber Basin's exhorbitant rate increase and last week asked Clearfield officials to join in the it fight. BONNEVISTA water users agree, said there is no way the cities can absorb the kind of rate increase being suggested by Weber officials. Clearfield City Council members voiced strong opposition to the rate increase and vowed to go on record as protesting the hike. IF APPROVED, the Weber Basin increase would mean a 38 cent per household hike beginning as early as 1983. Mr. Starks said. Mr. Starks, that Similar protests are being waged throughout Davis County.

The commission approved an expenditure of $300 to pay for the project, with the understanding that the money will come out of the course maintenance fund. THE IDEA of the project, said Mr. Pettingill, is to repaint the existing sign with an enamel base, rather than buy an entirely new structure for the course. In a related matter, the commission approved funding for some new trees to be planted on the course; A total of $ 1 ,003 was approved: spokesman Hugh Wheelock, an application has been filed with the State Board of Water Resources in an attempt to secure 50 percent, or $380,000, for the reservoir. IF THE application is approved, he said, the money will be paid out in $40,000 per year increments at five percent interest. We are quite sure that the Board of Water Resources is aware of the project and will be supportive," Mr. Wheelock told city council members. THE PROJECT spokesman said Clearfield's application will be presented to the state at an upcoming meeting and, at the same time, urged city council representatives to attend the meeting and push the project through. The question of an additional $380,000 to complete the project will have to be addressed by the city.

ITS interesting to read the old adds, for instance, Ms Layton, herself a lifelong Kaysville resident, notes, indicating the fun library employees have had in pursuing some of the older editions while learning the ins and outs of operating the machine. Jan Webster, a Kaysville resident who works as technical processing office manager, found special interest in articles about the old H.J. Sheffield Store in Kaysville, operated by her for many years until its closure in the 1930s. READING THROUGH those old newspapers helps evoke many memories, such as for Ms. Layton, who says -- that while she.was a young giri when the store closed, she re- - ;alls the wooden floor with toles in it for rope that apparently was kept downstairs but could be pulled through .the floor, measueed, tied and then cut to specificiations for cus- tomers.

It was purchased for about $3,500 plus about $2,000 for microfilm and microfiche. A cabinet adjoining the machine, holds plenty of space for purchase of additional periodicals, such as news magazines or back copies of those not frequently used. THE MACHINE is readily accessible with a nearby table to accommodate reading materials. She says the acquisition of microfilms will free up much space where newspapers and other periodicals are stored, many from 1946 forward, when the library was formed. Patrons will be on their own as far as determining approximate dates for materials because no newspaper indexes exist. Ms. Layton suggests that would be a very worthwhile project for a volunteer knowledgeable in cataloging and indexing although she acknowledges it would be very ALTHOUGH THE lines haform behind the machine, yet, a one hour limit has been set for its use if someone is waiting.
