Show I Sun Chronicle Thursday, April Clearfield Courier !, 1973 ril Wednesday. ! Baseball season draws nearer SIDELINES had a person ask me the other day if the athletics in high school was really worth all the bother and tribulations that coaches, players, students and parents face. For a while I stopped to think atom! the question, and the more 1 throught about it. the madder 1 got and soon 1 just had to write an answer, so here it is Having covered high school athletics in two states over the past three years I have run in to hundreds o( players. 1 coaches, and the like, and everyone I met has shown the pride of being a part of the action A person to really understand the why and hapof high school penings athlet ics has to get involved on some level whether it be just as a fan attending a game or giving their son or daughter complete moral support. Take the case of Dan Gable, the gold medal winning wrestler at the 1972 Summer Auto mechanic teams planning annual competition contributes to the final score. The program is sponsored by the schools and Plymouth dealers in the area as a means of encouraging students to complete their education. Several area teams are entered for the anmiu. Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest, often called the Olympic Games of the auto industry," which will bring together the top auto mechanics students of this area May 11 at Skyline High, Salt Lake City. Schools from this area entering teams include Clearfield High, Davis High, Ogden High, Roy High, Clearfield Job Corps Center, and Weber State College. The students will be competing in one of 113 regional contests being held in all 50 states this spring under the sponsorship of Plymouth dealers and participating schools. Regional contest win- ners receive trips to the National Trouble Finals at Boston Shooting June 25, 26 and 27. In addition to the trip and a chance to visit many historic Boston landmarks, prizes and awards in the National Finals are worth more than $90, 000 in college scholarships and other prizes for the contestants, and trophies, tools and automobile components for their schools. At the National Finals, each member of each first place team wins a $2,500 scholarship A total of $37,000 worth of scholarships is offered. Each team participating in the National Finals receives a complete set of tools for its school, and those placing among the winners receive for their schools new Plymouth engines and transmissions for instructional use in each school's auto mechanics shop. Trouble sometimes Shooters, called "Road Scholars," have to hit the books before they can hit the road to Boston and the National Finals. They have to be outstanding in their classes to qualify for a regional contest, and they must be top students and auto mechanics to win the Regional meet Teams consist of two students, who are assigned to a new car in which a series of malfunctions have been deliberately placed. Malfunctions in all cars are identical, and all are related to the electrical, starting, ignition, fuel systems and body hardware of the cars.

It r.l paid off in the end. That is my answer to the question of is it really worth all the bother.

This may some shock American proponents of stiff gun control laws who keep citing their supposed success in the Mother Country." Greenwood, 41 and a British police officer 19 years, has just written a book, Firearms Control," shooting down anti-gu- n all the Shibboleths, at least insofar as they apply - or dont apply Britain. He unloaded many of his findings on those attending the Annual Meetings of the National Rifle Association this week in Washington, D.C. Much more of this is in "Firearms Control, which is about to be introduced in the United States. (Itll sell for $11.75 and is published here by Routledge & Kegan Paul, Boston. Greenwood is politely emphatic on his theme that strict gun licensing and registration have flopped in Britain: We all thought it was effective - including me. We thought we had a system of controls and not much armed crime, for a long time. Now suddenly, relatively speaking, we have a hell of a lot of armed crime and tighter and tighter controls. And it seems fairly clear from the evidence that the controls do not affect serious armed crime." The West Yorkshire chief inspector, who has lectured at Cambridge on the subject, isnt certain what legislation might succeed in the States -if any. He is certain, however,: that Great Britain and the United States are not at all alike sociologically and that what works or fails in one is Somehow every coach, wrestler, and fan in the state knew that Dan couldnt lose. He took it proudly though, because he had seen how others took defeat many times. From that point on he devoted his entire life to wrestling. He became a member of the USA wrestling squad and traveled around the world to compete with his final goal the 72 Olympics. Well, as every wrestler in America knows he did win the gold that he searched for. It took him about nearly ten years of wrestling, thousands of hours of conditioning, training, isnt sure whether rigid gun laws would work in the United States - but he doesn't recommend them as having clicked in Britain.

Emergency Loan Program after the counties were declared disaster areas" due to the drought and frost. Most of the loans are forgivable up to $5,900, depending on the loss of each farmer. Sen. Bennett said although loans under the program were to be cutoff by Dec. 27, an order by the Agriculture Dept, allowed the Utah FHA office to process another 124 applications pending on the cutoff date. These loans have prevented disastrous losses for many Utah livestockmen and farmers whose crops and cattle were damaged," he said.

"This oil could be used as fuel for generating electric power, which would supplement the usual supplies of petroleum," he adds.

It's possible that an instant replay of the 1970 World Series between Baltimore and Cincinnati is in the making, minus the legendary Frank Robinson and the enthusiastic Lee May. Waste can probably be collected most easily in large urban areas, he says. In actual practice, a city and its suburbs could easily combine urban refuse, sewage sludge, industrial wastes and other organic wastes to produce energy. But in spite of the fact that collection processes have not yet been perfected. Dr. Anderson estimates that curren- tly .
