The editorial pointed out that with the tremendous amount of hard work, intensified research and development that must take place to bring America out of a position of shortage in energy fields, to a point of much concern is being shown for the impact this drive might have on the environment.

People earning big money find themselves under-house- d and without the tempering effect of true neighbors. Recreation facilities, educational and municipal facilities are inade- quate. For some life takes on a gold ..rush type, devil-may-ca- atti re tude. With this attitude comes a higher rate of drinking, a more-violetype of personal life, a more unsettled living style that invites rash behavior. Industry leaders and the affected communities and their institutions recognize the hazards of boom town life. They search for answers to avoid creation of monied ghettoes where people with billfolds bulging live improverished existences. There is an optimism that prevails. People believe that money must be good for something. Things are bound to get better. And they will. Other neonle will see the needs and build to meet them. That takes time. During the interim period, until housing catches up, until people find friends and wholesome ways to spend their money to create a better, more civilized life, a community needs stretch its arms to encompass all it can within the circle of society so that none are left over, outcasts, despite money in the bank. Its a hard assignment. Without such effort, an ugliness creeps over a booming community that leaves deep scars from wounds that take long to heal. nt 4 Planning continues for mew vocational center Under a grant of funds for planning, work is proceeding rapidly on skematics for a new Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center building, according to a report given to the board of the school Monday evening. Alvin Gabrialson, who was engaged as architect for the project, presented the preliminary skematics on the new building to the board Monday, and explained the various features that could be included. The unit, as designed, would include some 60,000 square feet of space, comprising classrooms, lab space and storage areas for all phases of the vocational training program. After reviewing the drawings, the board approved them with minor changes. They will now be taken to the State Board of Education, and the State Building Board for approval. The proposal will then be submitted to the legislature for appropriation of funds to construct the new facility. The Vocational Center is now serving students in the three-count- y area, comprised of Duchesne, Daggett and Uintah counties. Although facilities have been very limited in the present structure. state officials have been pleased with the program that has been developed. The board of the center is comprised of representatives from the three school districts involved. M; Neighbors THI GOVERNMENT OF Spencer W. Kimball is the new president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. He succeeds President Harold B. Lee who died Wednesday, December 26. President Kimball is 78 years old. President Kimball selected as his two counselors in the First Presidency, the ruling body of the Church, N. Eldon Tinner, 75, first counselor, and Marion G. Romney, 76, second counselor. Both the counselors served in the same capacities with President Harold B. Lee. They were ordained and set apart in ceremonies Sunday in the Salt Lake Temple. Ezra Taft Benson, an Apostle for more than 30 years and United States Secretary of Agriculture for eight years in the Cabinet of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was named president of the Council of the Twelve, succeeding President Kimball. President Benson is 74 years old. Reorganization of the First Presidency was announced this morning following a meeting of the Council of the Twelve in the Salt Lake Temple. The Council of the Twelve was the governing authority of the Church following the death of the President Lee until the First Presidency was reorganized. President Benson was the voice for the Council of the Twelve which ordained and set apart President Kimball as the 12th president, prophet, seer, revelalor and trustee-in-trus- t of The Church of Jesus Saints. Christ of Latter-daPresident Kimball set apart his counselors in the First Presidency and Elder Benson as president of the Twelve. The new world leader of more than 3.3 million Mormons residing in more than 70 countries around the world, President Kimball had served as a member of the Council of the Twelve since October 7, 1943. He was Acting President of the Twelve from January 23, 1970 until July 7, 1972, when he became president and senior member of the Twelve. As the new president takes office, the church is continuing to experience steady growth and now numbers more than 3.3 million members. Among Christian churches having more than one million members none is growing faster than The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints. President Kimball has observed of the growth: When the Church was organized in 1830 (April 6 in Fayette, New York), it was composed of six people. At the time Harold B. Lee became the President, (1972) there were about 3,200,000 and growing very rapidly.' Much of this growth is the result of the church's missionary efforts, which President Kimball has supervised many years as chairman of the missionary executive committee. More than 18,000 fulltime missionaries, most of them young men between the ages of 19 and 21 serving at their own expense, are assigned in 107 missions in the United States and overseas. Approximately 5,000 additional missionaries serve parttime in their own communities. In 1972, last full year for which figures are available, Mormon missionaries baptized more than 78,000 converts. To accommodate the growing membership the church has a mammoth construction program to provide meetinghouses for church members. More than 400 projects are now underway throughout the world and nearly 400 more have been approved. President Spencer Woolley Kimball is a public servant of long and varied experience. He was born March 28, 1895, in Salt Lake City, the sixth of 11 children born to Olive Woolley and Andrew Kimball Andrew Kimball was a son of Heber C. Kimball, apostle, prophet, missionary and counselor to Mormon colonizer Brigham Young in the First Presidency of the Church. In his childhood President Kimball accompanied his family to Thatcher, Ariz., where he was reared, and received his early education. President Kimball was first called as a church missionary to the Mission; but with the outbreak of World War I in 1914 he was transferred to the Central States Mission where he served y y Swiss-Germa- DEPARTMENT OF TNI TREASURY OFFICE OF REVENUE SHARING 1B00 PENNSYLVANIA AVI N W WASHINGTON.

President N. Eldon Tanner, a former industrial and political leader in Western Canada, previously had served as counselor to former church presidents David O. McKay, Joseph Fielding Smith and Harold B. Lee. Before his call to the First Presidency in 1963, President Tanner served two years as an Assistant to the Council of the Twelve and one year as a member of the Council of the Twelve. President Marion G. Romney, a member of the Council of the Twelve since October 6, 1951, was named second counselor in the First Presidency on July 7, 1972. A guiding personality behind the church's widely known Welfare Plan almost since its inception, President Romney was named assistant managing di- rector in June 1941. President Romney was born in Colonia Juarez, Mexico, of American Parents. President Ezra Taft Benson of the Council of the Twelve became one of the church's General Authorities in October, 1943, after s long career of church and public service. From 1933 to 1937 he waa a member of the stake prsidency of Boise Stake, serving two years as president. He then moved to Washington, D.
