Letters should be less than 250 words and should not be libelous, malicious or profane. All letters must be signed, but, on request, the name will be withheld and a pen name substituted. Qznllzi dim . . . Incorporation Although legal counsel has indicated the County Commission has the right to turn down the request of petitioners for an incorporation election, the County Commission has indicated it will indeed grant the request of Magna residents who want to vote on city status. Should the commission stray from that early in . . . And Ours dication and deny Magna's request, the action would not be in keeping with the intent of House Bill 71 which changed the state's incorporation laws in the 1983 session of the State Legislature. With the bills chief sponsor contending the intent of the legislation is to require the commission to grant an election, it seems unlikely the commission would assume it has a prerogative. Drivers . . . Your license to drive a car can now be renewed by mail - an idea that could appeal to you. But if you're going right past the State Driver License Division, wouldnt it be just as easy to stop in and renew it over the counter? Not really. The latter approach, even though youve filled out the questionnaire already for the mail-i- renewal, calls for you to fill out another one - on a different colored sheet. Plus, you must take an eye test. Plus, you must have a new picture taken. Neither of those two steps are required, of course, with a mail-i- n renewal.

Bonding Most residents of Salt Lake County will be having a lot of sorting out to do during the coming months in regard to bond elections. Theyve just given enthusiastic approval to issuing $33', million in flood control bonds, but already there is talk the amount will not meet the demands. Then, within the next two months, county officials are expected to make a decision on the fate of the Building. Whatever the decision, bonding is likely to be conCity-Coun- again to provide the necessary facilities. Also, there are indications that a bonding vote will be on the ballot by late next summer to expand and upgrade the countys library system. Can all three be approved within a years time?

Sessions Of State Legislature Should Be Altered, Simply For The Sake Of Good Government Altering the length of sessions of the State Legislature seems worth considering, but would be accomplished if other changes aren't implemented along with such an altera- tion. gg Among matters prompting such a change is the restriction legislators feel they have in the confines of a budget session on even-numbered years - such as at present. Non- budgetary matters can be introduced during a gw budget session, but only with a Hi vote- This, of course' allows "vital legisla-tioto be considered without having to wait a the general session, which runs Wa ful1 year for 60 days. One of the many problems that legislators jj are faced with, however, is a burdensome volume of matters to be acted upon.

A volunteer guardian program is accepting applications for a training session to begin Feb. 9. The program is directed by David E. Littlefield, an attorney who has been appointed by the juvenile court to represent children who have allegedly been abused or neglected. Volunteers assist Mr. Littlefield in collecting relevant information by interviewing the child, family members, case workers, therapists and school personnel, and by reviewing case records. After evaluating the facts and assessing what is in the childs best interests, the guardian submits recommendations for disposition. Court appearances with Mr. Littlefield are often involved. The month-lon- g training program provides the volunteers with information on varying aspects of child abuse, development, abusive families, treatment option, juvenile law, child welfare agency interaction, court procedure, sexual abuse and ethical considerations. Interested applicants may contact Littlefield at The deadline for submitting applications and recommendations is Jan. 27. Mr. Littlefield said the recommendations often serve as one of the bases for the juvenile courts ruling on a case. Therefore the importance of making a responsible recommendation is one that must be taken seriously. Deciding what is best for the child is not always easy, but there is satisfaction in knowing that with the guardians imput, a child not only has a voice in his or her own future, but also will be assured of receiving needed contact with siblings, dental and medical care, psychological therapy and other needs that might otherwise go unmet, he said. g Farm's Friends Name Knight New President SOUTH COTTONWOOD.

Bingham of Hooper, who is taking a years leave of absence with pay from Xerox Corp., where he has been a sales representative. The firm has a social service leave program allowing employees to become involved in worthwhile community projects, Mr. Bingham explained. His application to help Utah Girls Village was one of those accepted by a national employees board. He will work closely with Lila Bjorklund, founder and chairman of Girls Village. Mr. Bingham recently visited Boys Town, U.S.A., whose model of discipline is used at the Utah facility. Boys Town has 49 homes like our two at Girls Village, with five to seven young men in each home. Each is headed by a teaching family, he said. It was enlightening to see the things they have done in that institution. I wish I had some of that knowhow to handle my own children. House parents at Girls Village, like Boys Town, are trained by certified instructors in the National Teaching Family Assn. Mr. Bingham hopes to familiarize himself with all that is being done at Girls Village and see what improvements can be made. He has been a member of the board of trustees of the village for one year and a member of the auxiliary board about seven years. His new office is at 3839 So. West Temple.
