CONGRESSMAN JAMES HANSEN visited some of his littlest constituents at Centervilles Jennie P. Stewart Elementary School on Friday, Dec. 7. The students, who have been studying the democratic process of elections, were urged by Rep. Hansen to always take an interest in their government and to become involved in the political pro- - cess when they are grown. Rep. Hansen told the children his first political office was serving as a city councilman for Farmington, followed by service in the Utah State Legislature where he earned the honor of being Speaker of the House before he was persuaded by former President Jerry Ford to run for national office.

A steam pur-- J chase contract with the air base will be signed by the chairman of the Davis County solid waste spe- cial service district, who has been given the authority by the district board to sign it and other con-- 1 tracts involving the waste disposaal by the service district. We have negotiated a contract with the U.S. Air Force, which I have the authorization to sign," said district board Chairman Glen Saunders. Further details on the terms and conditions of the contract for the purchase steam from the plant will not be released until the Air Force authorities sign the contract, and are granted the au-- j thority to discuss it. The district administrative con-- J trol board, and the district gov- eming authority also authorized the chairman to sign, pending satisfactory conclusion of points m ! ! 1 j I 1 l ? 1 ; j i t much-talked-- of contract with Katy Seghers Inc. An independent .engineering contract for the monitoring of the plant construction will also be signed with R.W. Beck and Associates. Waste disposal service contracts between the district and the cities, which requires the cities provide solid waste to the plant, will also be signed by Saunders. Board members are expected to adopt an agreement authorizing the issuance of up to $64 million in industrial revenue bonds tonight or Friday. The bonds must be issued by the end of December. Otherwise, a Congressional IRB limitation on states will severely curtail the chance of the project attaining the money. Utah state will receive about $235 million to distribute between the state and local governments. The steam sale contract has a termination liability less than we had hoped, said Jerry Hess recently. Hess is the legal advisor to ' ' the district. It is estimated the base must pay a $2 million penalty fee, the price of the steam pipeline, if the base terminates the contract with a one-ye- notice. ar Hess recently discussed several documents with board members. The first group of contract he termed the bond closing documents, Included are the bond purchasing agreement, to have been presented Nov. 28, the remarketing agreement, the reimbursement agreement, and the actual bond resolution to be passed by the board. The bond purchasing agreement would entail Smith Barney Harris Upham and Co. agree to market and sell the approximate $52 million in bonds. In the event the variable rate bonds are returned during a sev- interval, the remarketing agreement spells out the terms for remarketing. The reimbursement agreement, if signed, will be between the district and Mitsubishi Bank Ltd. give the letter of credit for the bonds. en-day Beer Licence Hearing Reset I CHERYL ARCHIBALD Review Staff A public hear-- J BOUNTIFUL the on ing suspending or revoking j of two Bountiful grocery stores beer licenses has been reset for January 2. !

Lakeview Hospital employees, Mervyns, Bountiful High School students, Bountiful and Roy Elks, Hill Air Force Base and St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Lay-to- n are among those who have made a tradition of helping the needy at Christmas time. Each usually tries to meet the needs of the families assigned in a special way. For example, Ms. Spencer explained, Mervyns provided Cabbage Patch dolls for two little girls in a larger family they sponsored last year. This year the Five Points Mall, along with some area schools, are giving eight fully decorated Christmas trees to deserving families. THROUGH NORTH 145 N.

Final records were submitted to the state recently and it will take a few more weeks until records comparing other school districts are complete.

There are probably people in Davis County who would like to sponsor a family but feel they cant afford it," explained Ms. Spencer. However, you dont have to be wealthy to help. Those who cant sponsor a family may contribute money that the agency will use to serve those not assigned to another sponsor. Many people contribute by donating canned goods through drives made by the elementary schools. Donated money and canned goods not only help families at Christmas but restock an emergency food bank operated by Human Services. Throughout the year, families totally without food y can get a supply, provided through the generosity of school children and their families at Christmas, to get them by until other help can .be arranged.
