The end of school for summer vacations often spells departures of close friends such as Michael Barker and Johnna Hofer until school resumes in the fall. Friendships deeply made, however, do withstand separations regardless of the distance and the time spent apart. Units are examined - A multiWELLINGTON dwelling housing complex, now in the planning stages, was the subject of a debate Wednesday night at the city council meeting here. The apartments are being financed by a grant from the county housing authority, and will be built at 600 East Main, in an area now zoned commercial. Councilman Paul Childs said he was concerned the housing authority may force surrounding commercially zoned areas into residential. If I thought there was one chance in a million that could happen, do you think I would do it? Harold Marsten, who is building the apartment complex, asked. The point was brought up that such a building would be high density residential right next to a busy commercial area. Marsten said that the more development that is done the more people who will move in. He added that it will be those people who will use the stores, the laundermats, the gas stations and other businesses. We can argue all night long because everybody has his own opinion, Ben Blackburn said. Walking back to his seat Marsten added that the property owners should have some say as to what goes in next to them. Mayor Ray Davis suggested that they end the discussion, and take care of it at the next meeting in two weeks since it was not on the agenda. School hearing slated A public hearing will be held concerning whether or not the Carbon School District will be able to use an parcel of Bureau of Land Management land near Gordon Creek, Supt. George Behunin of the Carbon County School District said. The date and location have not been set, but it will probably be the last week of May or first week of June, he said. The district has been trying to get the land for three years now. We want the land for the future. If we were to grow tremendously, say in the next five or 10 years, we would need to have more schools. 80-ac- re If we are not able to get the Gordon area we will have to get land somewhere else, he said. He noted that from all indications of area projections, there will be a substantial increase in the near future. The land will be used for an elementary school, a junior high school, a high school and a district warehouse, Behunin said. The problem is that the land is crucial situated adjacent to winter habitat for mule deer. It is for this reason the Utah Divison of Wildlife Resources has held up the acquisition of the land, he said. Car and van pools really work By Lynn Varacalli At first mention, car pooling may Ill think get an unenthusiastic about it" reply, but more and more people are thinking about it Car pooling has enthusiastically. become a business of its own during the last decade. Not only are people pooling in cars, but in vans as well. Van pooling is becoming increasingly popular across the country, especially with large corporations, because of the substantial savings in parking space. More importantly, though, an employee can save on gas, oil, maintenance and insurance or even sell his car. How docs a van pool system work? A company buys a van, finds a volunteer driver plus up to II passengers, and arranges for parking. Each driver is responsible for picking up those riders each and every day and for keeping records on the pool. In return for this, the driver has access to the van on nights and weekends and rides free to work. The riders pay a fee based on the distance traveled. They either pay the driver who, in turn, pays the company, or the fee is deducted from their paychecks. Car pool programs work in much the same way as van pool programs, except the company does not provide the vehicle. Employees make their own arrangements for sharing rides and deciding on fees. Car pooling is thought of mainly for commuters getting to work each day but there is another aspect of it. The National Car Pool Association provides a car pooling service for travelers who wish to share a ride somewhere across the country. Membership is $25 for six months, $40 for a year and $125 for a lifetime membership. A can use the service for a one-watrip fee of $15. This is how it works. A person decides to take a trip but would like to share the ride to cut down on e number expenses, lie calls a y toll-fre- and tells the operator the point of origin, destination and desired date. In a few seconds, a computer will provide names and phone numbers of people planning a similar trip. The parties then get together to agree on expenses and a desirable date of departure. The Association set up 100,000 referrals in 1978 and it boasts that it has never had a crime. Gasoline savings has definitely been a factor in car poolings increasing popularity. With prices soaring to unthinkable amounts, the consumer has been forced to give car pooling serious consideration. Approximately 6,000 van pools across the country arc now carrying some 60,000 people to work each day. The number of people is sure to increase, just as gasoline prices arc sure to increase. About of all private automobile mileage is for commuting to and from work. one-thir- d |
