Show A - Review Wednesday Feb. 19, 1986 Layton should have library Layton should have a library. Other Davis County metropolitan areas have libraries. Bountiful has a branch of the county library; Farmington is rightly the location of county library headquarters; Clearfield, to the north, has a library. None of the Davis County libraries is huge, but the system offers a network' of sources for books and refer- ' negotiating with the county so In our view that it may once again become part of the county library sys- ' The county government should work with Layton City officials to help locate a library in that city, either in the former Winegars store or at some other location. Past disagreements should be put aside and a plan that meets the needs of Layton residents and the county library system should be formulated. The years that Layton has spent outside the system have been enough to help the city accumulate some money for the project and to convince all concerned that a county library system should include all cities and all county , v - v- 1 l' K J i r f3 I ' p - . v r; "C i " vv ; c". pp if J i J p Pfi wwlwSL- ' r' f'l VsW&ty tem. the county decided years ago it could not afford to build a library in Layton.

I cannot speak for you but there are already enough checkpoints in my life and I do not need anymore. International justice? Can you ever recall of ever hearing of a world governing body such as the United Nations ever effectively settling a major crisis or conflict? I havent either. Public dialogue between opposing leaders is seemingly useless. It demeans the leaders themselves in front of their citizens and only serves to increase tensions and misunderstandings. So what is the answer? Immoral acts such as terrorism promote ery. The main reason you do not want to increase security measures is because it is costly and most assuredly infringes on our rights of freedom. That's the bottom line isnt it? Freedom. Our system against theirs. Well what about restricting the press on reporting activities that attempt .to promote the cause of terrorists? This would be restricting the freedom of the press. A very, very important constitutional right. But remember the consequences if you do not limit the reporting in some way.
