Show npgiryl Wednesday, May 14, 1986 Sun Advocate, Price, Utah 9A to the editor Nix To the few years, we can expect all taxes to skyrocket. to belts editor: Starting April 28, the highway began enforcing the newly passed law of wearing seat belts. Although the penalty for not wearing your seat belt while driving wont exceed that of a speeding ticket, I think that $10 is still too much to pay. Everyone clearly understands that seat belts do save lives, however, it should be our choice whether to buckle up or not! dont spend apPeople proximately $12,000 for a car and then want to be told what they have to do inside of it! For many of us, our car sometimes serves as a place where we can get away. And if we dont feel comfortable in our own car, then seat belts can even take the fun out of a patrol Sunday drive. If our drive to collect 70,000 signatures fails, the message is clear: taxpayers are not concerned about further tax increases. We must not fail. Call if you would like to take one of our petitions Opponents editor: War against the taxpayer was officially declared when the To the governor began actively fighting against the Property Tax Limitation Initiative. With politicians seeking just under $1 billion in new taxes in the next only businesses will benefit, when the truth is that every property owner will benefit if the petition is successful. We have about two weeks to finish collecting signatures. Join our efforts to hold taxes down. Call for a petition today. Paul Turner Richfield City councilman & So. Utah coordinator for Property Tax Limitation Need dragstrip To the editor: I feel that Price needs a new dragstrip. If we had one we could save peoples time and money, as well as lives. Just think about it for a moment. We all race anyway, so why not n have a situation? Let me show you some facts I have win-wi- dug up. 1. We race regardless of what we are told. 2. Less accidents because of Workfare is working By RICHARD L.LESHER Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. My father taught me to work, Abraham Lincoln said. He did not teach me to love it. Honest Abe was neither the first nor the last to complain about work. At one time or another, we have all griped about the same thing. Still, there are few of us who do not recognize a moral and' social obligation to perform useful work, even if we are not financially obligated to. To regard indolence with contempt is one of the most distinctive, and attractive, aspects of the American character. Thus, it isnt surprising that we agonize a great deal about welfare. We accept an obligation to provide for those who, for one reason or another, are unable to provide for themselves. But how can we make such provision without discouraging aid recipients from seeking gainful employment? We are currently embarked upon a great national experiment to resolve this workfare. dilemma called Though it comes in various forms, the basic idea is to place welfare recipients in productive jobs. The goals are to reduce the costs of welfare programs, provide welfare recipients with practical work experience, and reduce the stigma attached to welfare programs. In 1977, Congress authorized workfare in the food stamp program. Seven demonstration By most accounts, the results have been positive. Costs have been reduced and many people once considered hard-cor- e unemployed have gained their first experience as productive members of society. In my view, that latter item is even more important than saving taxpayer dollars. Critics workfare of insist is self-wort- Let's wear cut-off- fs months. John Critchlow, Price Needs entertainment Thanks for labels! To the editor: Summer is quickly apand there is very little entertainment for teenagers in Carbon County. Sure, we can go to a movie, To the editor: The Ann Self School would like to thank all of the people who proaching contributed the Campbell soup labels this school year. The Ann Self School will be receiving two soccer balls, two basketballs, a soccer net and four cones. These items will be greatly used in physical education for the students. For the above items the school sent 7,200 soup labels. Thanks everyone for the Campbell soup labels, Ann Self School appreciates it very much. Steven L.

This brings us to the point of parties where booze is made available to the teens.Resulting from this is drunk driving on the e, To the this I mean that our lives could remain constant instead of having to change our eating and sleeping habits every six streets, endangering the community. Wouldnt it be nice if we had a waterslide, an arcade, or even a new roller skating rink big enough to accommodate at least one hundred people at a time. This would also make more to employment available Carbon County. Some of you say this will cost the taxpayers more money. Have you thought about what they are using your money for right now? Sincerely, Amy Wilstead Price s editor: The topic of dress code in our school has been a controversial subject. A lot of students would like it changed so that they could wear cooler clothing when the weather gets warmer. The principal and many of the teachers like it the way it is and dont want it to be changed. But I think if they look at it differently they might see it our way. The reason that I think the dress code should be changed is because it would make us feel more comfortable in class. I can think of a lot of classes that are so hot that I cant stand it. Also, the girls can wear so why cant guys wear some Nursing protest To the editor: Apparently the passage of House Bill 180 through the House and Senate of our 1986 Utah Year round daylight saving To the editor: mini-skirt- s, cut-off- s.

If they dont In my opinion Daylight Savings Time is an excellent and commendable idea. I am all for gaining an hour of light during the evening hours. The portion to which I am opposed is the switch back to Mountain Standard Time in the fall. By this I mean that I think we should remain with daylight savings year round. 1.

But though we all complain at times about work, and even Abe Lincoln was less than fond of it, the' fact remains that work is an essential part of every human life.

People wouldnt spend so much money on bail or taxes (like paying cops to chase us). We more or less pay for their gas. z the one state which has the American Nurses Associations proposal in place, North Dakota, will probably have that reversed by lawsuit. Many states are proposing these sweeping changes in nursing, but that does not mean they will pass their state legislatures. Come on, Utah nursing grassroots! ANA has only 12.5 percent of RNs in the United States as members. Utah Nurses Assocation has members out of 1400 RNs in the state with LPNs less than 5,000; not all licensed are working nurses.

I have been elected vice chair of the Practical Nurses Educators Council of NAPNES (National Association of Practical Nurse Education and Service) and we will help see to it that all interested and important groups understand both pro and con on the issue of proposed changes in entry level into nursing and that they reflect your decision.
