He has been a reserve officer for some 17 years. He has been teaching at Layton High for nearly the same number of years. I have the best of both worlds, says Officer Glir.e, who has volunteered thousands of hours to city law enforcement.

He now has over 100 students enrolled in the credit courses along with a growing list of judges, policemen, lawyers and school administrators supporting the program. His students know theyll find Mr. Gline teaching most days and nearly every Friday night on police patrol around the city. A lot of citizens join the Eagles or and the VFW for community service.

"Hippies will come in and ask to have just half an inch cut off, and I oblige, but geez, sometimes Im tempted to cut it above their ears. Theres one guy in town who comes in once a year for a haircut and takes all the hair I cut off home with him. Imagine that! Taking his hair home! I havent asked him what he does with it. It's his hair, so I suppose its his business. But nearly everything else is everybodys business in Bob's Barber Ship.

On this particular day, a Wednesday, Bob had barely been open an hour and four of his regular visitors were already halfway through copies of Snowmobile Digest and Intermountain Horseman. Three calendars were hanging on the walls of the tiny shop. One, the "boys" calendar, printed by Western Auto and Tire Supply, has a different bathing beauty every month.

Since then, incidents in the area concerning domestic fowl and stock include the death of a horse and the injuring of a goose. - ' He said it is legal for the farmers to shoot the dogs and it is illegal, with the maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $299 fine, for owners to "willfully abandon" them. Although he's aware of no success yet in attempts during the past several years to prosecute people for dumping dogs, the idea has not been abandoned. Mr. Lynes said: ; That from late December to up to a dozen dogs are dropped in the area annually. That most abandoned dogs ar( afraid of children and do not pose a significant threat to them. That reported bites to human$ by dogs, almost none of which were abandoned, average about one a da in Salt Lake City. - -- Tribune Start Photo By Lynn R.
