Show rn rn Sun Advocate lemai Name that school The task of naming a new school should be viewed as an opportunity, rather than a chore. The Carbon County School Board has invited public suggestions for the name of the new elementary school In northeast Price. Construction of the school will begin soon, and officials plan to open its doors in the fall of 1980. The board might finally choose a name like 'Northeast Price' or 'Castle Heights', but, if It did, it would be passing up the opportunity to give a special honor to a present or former Carbon County resident. By naming the school after a person, not a place, the board and the community can establish a model that teachers, students, and others can aspire towards. Most Carbon County schools have been named after either school board members or district personel. Elementary in Sunnyside and Durrant Elementary in Price were named after C.W. 'Stubby' Petersen Petersen and the late Earl Durrant respectively. Sally Mauro Elementary was named after one of its principals, and Ann Self School took its name from its founder. G. J. Reeves and Mont Harmon, both superintendents of the Carbon County School District, were honored by the previous boards with schools named after them. There are certainly a few people who deserve this special recognition. How about naming the new elementary school after former Price mayor and Utah governor J. Bracken Lee? Or the school could be named after the district's retiring and popular superintendent Dennis Nelson. Although the board has adopted a policy against naming schools after board members, it could reverse itself and named a school after board chairman Asa Draper or the late Chuck Cuburu. The board may find other community leaders who have exemplified the qualities we hope to instill in all our children. We hope that the board will receive many ideas from the public. Suggestions should be sent to, 'Name That School,' Drawer 'B', Price. mm. 75 YEARS AGO Go To Helper. Prices Bullpen A Thing Of The Past. Riot Leaders Only Held.

City She - is the mother WASHINGTON It has been five years since Richard Nixon was condemned by his own words. They were recorded on secret White House Tapes, which provided evidence of the greatest political scandal in White House history Watergate. But the tapes may also contain evidence of other scandals. Most of Nixons White House conversations have never been made public. We have joined other reporters in asking the courts to open up all the tape recordings. But the former president is fighting to keep them secret. Now a congressional subcommittee wants to listen to Nixons conversations with Ar- thur Sampson YEARS AGO of six children. Charges in the matter are being delayed pending the outcome of the woman's injuries. They and Robert headed the scandal - scarred General Services Administration while Nixon was president.

Already Richard Nixons incriminating conversations have brought down his own presidency. Now, his voice, speaking from the past, may ruin other men involved in todays General Services Administration scandal. Corporate HIM AGAIN, SHORT-CHANGE-S Greed: We previously predicted that the oil companies profits for the first quarter of 1979 would be exorbitant. The corporate reports have noW been released, and they confirm what insiders told us. Exxon, for example, reported profits of more than 37 percent. Standard Oil of Indiana showed an increase of nearly 28 percent. JOE SPEAR J These shocking profits came at a time when President Carter was calling upon everyone else to hold their salary and price increases to 7 percent. Meanwhile, the president is deregulating price controls on oil, which will increase profits even down more. He has called for a windfall - profits tax to curb these profits. But his proposal would take away only half of the oil companies new profits and permit them to pocket the other half. The oil firms claim they need the extra bucks to pay for drilling new wells. They are not talking much about what theyre really doing with their excess money. Exxon, for example, has more than $5 billion in cold cash. That is more than many nations hold in their treasuries. Mobil had enough cash lying around to buy MARCOR, the parent company of the Montgomery Ward Department store chain. Mobil also submitted a multimillion dollar bid for a land development company and is negotiating for a paper manufacturing company called Bodcaw. Atlantic Richfield paid a cool $2 billion for Anaconda Copper. Tenneco bought the Philadelphia Life Insurance Company for $644 million. Gulf Oil purchased a chemical conglomerate called Kewanee Brands at a price of $389 million. Sun Oil is trying to take over another chemical company called Becton - Dickinson for $600 million. Yet the oil lobbyists are fighting tooth - and - nail against an excess profits tax. Brassy Brass: All employees of the federal government are required by law to fly on airlines owned by U.S. companies. The idea is to promote American owned businesses. But the law hasnt set too well with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The brass hats dont like to be forced to transfer planes in New York City when they return to the states from Europe, which is the practice of U.S. airlines. The military chiefs would rather fly directly to Washington on a foreign airline. They asked the General Accounting Office to grant them an exception to the law because of the undue hardship they experienced by transferring planes. I he GAO refused to grant the waivpr on the grounds that the Joint Chiefs suffered no more -- inconvenience than most ternational travelers. in- |
