Theres good reason for that city crews will be moving around Dec. 9 and hope to be up and running for business Monday, Dec. 13. The first city council meeting in the new facilities is set for the next night, Tuesday, Dec. 14. h of the building In a late last week, work appeared to be on schedule carpeting laid in many places, partitions in place in others, while furniture, finishing touches on railings and assorted other projects still had to be completed. The new building, which towers over the Center and State Street intersection, includes 70,000 square feet, or nearly three times the size of the former facility. And despite some residents who question the need for such a new city building, Police Chief Morton Sparks is quick to point out that it was professional planners who determined space needs, not city employees, after they determined what each department's needs were. Cramped is the norm in the current building. City Attorney Larry Waggoner shares a small office with his secretary. Other departments are similarly crowded. In fact, the space that was needed for the police depart- nient is ijiore than the e ntirecurfe7irir municipal building contains.

Its bigger and better than ever, with nearly 50 floats, marching organizations and singing groups signed up as of press time. That's a 50 percent increase from last year, making it a magical event for the whole family. The parade begins in Kaysville at 6 p.m. in front of the Davis Applied Technology Center, winds down to Main Street and then heads north to 200 East where it will travel three blocks to end at Center and 2(X) East at KaviHe Element ary School.

As with Kaysville, Clearfield also will hold a special tree lighting ceremony once the parade makes its way to the new city complex. This year, there will not only be two kgs of the parade, there also will be two grand marshals. The oldest resident of Clearfield, Bea Fisher, will be the Grand Marshal of the Clearfield portion of the parade. More than 45 floats have been entered, ranging from singing groups to horse units to a finale with Jolly Old St. Nick on the Clipper Today float. He'll be riding triumphantly into town at the end of the parade. Last year, an estimated 10.000 people saw the parade which was staged in Kaysville and Layton. The parade is sponsored by Qipper Today, the North Davis Chamber of Commerce and the Kaysville Chamber of Commerce. Both parade routes are shown below. said.

CARROLL Clipper Today Correspondent HILL AIR FORCE BASE -Imagine serving Thanksgiving dinner to 2,000 people. Now imagine doing it willingly, with a smile on your face and cheer in your voice. That is exactly what happened last week as Col. Mike Hostage and numerous other members of the 388th Fighter Wing made and served a full Thanksgiving dinner to fellow airmen, their families, a group of veterans and retirees from a Layton assisted living center. A hangar that is normally used as a training facility for the weapons load crews who loaded the very bombs and missiles that were dropped on Iraq was transformed into a large dining facility with a very different purpose bringing people together to offer thanks.
