The lack of crowd pressure and distraction of the winters busy season makes it possible for a bowler to work cm some of the finer points of his game. Mrs. Slattery is knowledgable about such things. She won the 1965 national womens all-st- ar title with a 197 avertournament. She age over a admits her summer workouts help her in the pressure play of national competition. Joining Ann in summer bowling are about half of the members of the WIBC (Womens International Bowling Con77-ga- in the summer, she reports though she guesses that at least percent 20-- 35 compete during the summer. Bowlings profile is talcing a few new wrinkles, according to Mrs. Robert E. Slattery (Ann). it used to be that five-m- an teams were the thing This combination 1s diminishing about as fast as mixed doubles teams are There was an effort to ignore public criticism of Democratic Party perfor- mance in Salt Lake County during the past year. . .but that effort was punctured when County Attorney Grover A. Giles told a joke about a man who drank a lot, then emphasized that We Democrats have principles that people like. There was vigorous, but very brief resistance to inclusfbn of a labor plank in the party platform, so that no one noticed that the platform was approved without having been read to the delegates. They were told copies were available for reading after adoption. The platform was a critical feature of the convention The fate of some candidates was conwhispered about in gregation in the lobby of the Newhouse Hotel Some .said it was already silently agreed that Iiavid P.

Anns husband, Robert boasts a healthy 180 average while their 11 year old daughter, Susan is over the 100 mark most of the time. No, I dont coach my husband and he doesnt help me. Ive found out this doesnt work out any better than when a husband tries to teach his wife to drive a car or golf," she said. Bowling popularity was highest in the 1961-- 62 There was a lot period. of building (subdivisions) and shopping centers. Bowling lanes were part of most building plans. Young families were looking for a new recreation. Many tried bowling. Most stayed. Others turned to other areas for their fun. But a slack period followed. Ann explained the peak period and the subsequent slack: It was bound to happen with all the building. Salt Lake County was no different than any area in the country. Everywhere there was I think there has been a leveling off process that past year. I think Salt Lake County has grown into its bowling facilities. She said the bowling boom resulted popularity of league This is about the only way to get play. real interested in bowling, she said. it places more accent on competition and a is great social outlet at the same time she concluded. Major items in the budget: $14,624,-2- 79 for teacher's salaries, $4,433,481for other instructional costs, $2,128,004 for operation of schools, $1,061,744 for maintaining schools, $499, 854 for transporting students, $2,138,200 for fixed charges - mostly retirement and insurance funds, $5,422,800 for new plant and equipment, and $3297,778 to pay off existing debts. The District also sold $8,000,000 in tax anticipation notes, accepted Utah Agency Inc. as insurance agent on the districts insurance program for liability under Utah's new tort liability law, and awarded a $61,955 bid to Dorland Construction Co. for a reading clinic at Upland Terrace Elementary School, In other business Board members objected to the State Board of Educations handling of its requests to grant additional payment for transporting students within the established one or two wiia limits by bus. The district had requested that help from the state after a special task force studying hazards in the district proposed changing the limit in certain cases where hazardous conditions were said to exist The task force, which met early in the school year, determined the locations by setting up very exact criteria. Board members Tuesday night claimed that the State had been arbitrary in its rejection of many of these requests. Chi the areas turned down the district is bearing the full brunt of the cost. The state has approved the requests for 10 schools to date including William Penn, Oakwood, West Lake Junior, Vista, Hill View, J. C. Fremont, Lake Ridge, Pioneer and parts of Bonneville and Churchill. Seven schools have been turned down including part of Churchill, Eastwood, Academy Park, Blaine, Woodstock, Bonneville (balance), and Howard R. Drlggs. The application for Churchill requested that pupils be transported to the school, but not home....the state said, It seemed inconsistent to us to assume that it would be more hazardous for kids to walk in the morning than in the evening, and we, therefore, could not approve this route. Superintendent Elmer J. Hartvigsen said that the state is conscious of keeping the lid pretty tight. ...they re cm the spot with the law as passed.

Mr. Giles, w'hose past record and personal charm appeared colossal even to his courageous opponent, was soundly trounced by delegates who voted Carl Nemelka 66 J. of their total.
