Prospects arc he said, that the federal good, government may help the city financially with two doctors. The doctors would be hired under a federal program and profit s from their practice would go to pay their salaries and build up medical facilities in the city.

We were able to solve several situations through the alertness and cooperation of several citizens. We would like to caution hunters to check the city limit boundaries before they hunt, if they intend to be hunting near the limits as it is a city ordinance that no firearms be discharged inside the city limits. New court hours for John B. Gale will be at 8:00 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the City Building. mmtemplating further sewer.

There will be ten games and a play-off- . The entry fees will go to pay referee salaries and for equipment. Mountain Fuel seeks increase to match costs Because of its pipeline gas supply sources, principally Northwest Pipeline Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah, have again sought federal regulatory permission to raise the price of gas sold to Mountain Fuel Supply Company, Mountain Fuel has been forced to seek still another increase in natural gas rates from the Utah Public Service Commission. When effective, the new rates for Northwest Pipeline Corporation will bring to five the number of rate increases it has received from the Federal Power Commission since January 1, 1974. The current increase to Mountain Fuel amounts to well over $8,000,000 on an annual basis. Mountain Fuel has applied to the Utah Public Service Commission to increase its rates by the exact amount of the pipeline suppliers' increases to the Utah service area, which amount to $7,198,508 on an annual basis, and has proposed the inrrease be allocated to all current rate schedules uniformly on the basis of gas use at 5.249 cents per thousand cubic feet (except in the Roosevelt, Myton, Duchesne area where rates will be slightly higher). This will result in an average monthly increase of 79 cents for the typical residential customer in Utah. B.Z. Kastler, president of Mountain Fuel Supply Company, stated that the Company is deeply concerned that it must file for still another increase in its rates to its Utah users, but noted that when the FPC permits the higher pipeline rates the Company has no alternative other than losing the supply concerned. Natural gas is presently in scarce supply in many areas of the country, and companies from these areas are ready and willing to buy any gas we relinquish," Mr. Kastler said. Consequently, we must pay the increased price or lose the gas we need to serve our customers." he addl'd. Mr. Kastler pointed out that the current increases by the pipeline company suppliers are scheduled to become effective on four separate dates-Octo2, November 1, and December 1 of 1974, and January 1, 1975-a- nd said he hoped Northwest Pipeline Corporation and the FPC in the future would take steps to consolidate such increases and thus avoid the extra expense and confusion created by the tandem type increases. The October 2 and November 1 increases amount collectively to $5,661,-41the December 1 increase and the January 1, 1975, increase $801,052, aggregating a total of of which $7,198,508 is allocable to Utah and $1,235,585 to Wyoming. Mountain Fuel receives about of its total supplies from pipelines. It of its supplies produces about itself, and buys the final third from other producers in the fields. We are fortunate that Mountain Fuel has multiple sources ber one-thir- one-thir- d of supply, including our own production and purchases from other producers," Mr. Kastler said. "If all of our supplies were purchased from Northwest Pipeline, our rates would have to increase over three times as much as proposed. Over 99 of the increase is attributable to Northwest Pipeline Corporation increases, and the remainder is due to very small increases by Colorado Interstate Corporation and Cascade Natural Gas Corporation. Mr. Kastler emlphasized the Mountain Fuel increase is simply to offset the pipeline supplier increases, and pointed out that no increase in profits whatever was involved. He expressed the hope that the Mountain Fuel application could be processed promptly, noting that the time lag between the dates when increases must be paid by Mountain Fuel and when they are recovered in its rates caused $37t million of losses to the utility company so far in 1974. These losses will increase by about $15,000 per day due to the current increases until the Company is permitted to again increase its Utah rates.

President Ford on October 28 paid as tribute to the Nation's veterans have (who) women gallant men and answered the call. . .whenever our freedom has been threatened. all of Americas While saluting veterans, Mr. Ford gave special attention to veterans of the Vietnam War. He said of them: most They served in spite of the difficult psychological pressures. Tbey served at a time when many of their peers and their elders were denouncing service to one's country as immoral. They served while some avoided service. They served without the full moral support that this nation has usually given its fighting forces." that emphasized The President America owes a huge debt to our Vietnam veterans and must servethem in peace. . .as they served us in war. This means, the President said, that Vietnam veterans must share in the fruits of the American system. We must see to it, he said, that our Vietnam veterans are not forgotten. unPointing to the plight of the employed young veteran, Mr. Ford said he has ordered that the Federal Government hire at least 70,000 Vietnam Era veterans by next July 1. Progress already is being made in providing jobs for vets, the President said. He noted that unemployment among veterans has diminished since its high point in 1971, and gave much of the credit to the National Alliance of Businessman (NAB). Mr. Ford said the NAB hopes to provide 200,000 jobs for veterans during the next year. The President also promised improved VA hospital care for the Nation's VA medicine is veterans. He said for the most part now but that some problems exist. He said he has Richard Administrator given VA Roudebush the assignment of solving these problems. President Ford then turned to the 'haUenge c if keeping the peace. Quoting George Washington, he said: To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. Citing the dire results of isolationism, Mr. said of Washingtons Ford More than once in our declaration, history, we have forgotten that warning and, each time, we have paid a heavy toll in human suffereing. The President applauded the efforts of America's veterans to keep this country strong and said that is the way to build a permanent peace. He declared: Let this Veterans Day strengthen our resolve to always walk the extra mile for peace, but always to walk it strong and unafraid-f- or without a mighty America no peace can long survive." top-flig- ht r I From DUCHESNE HIGH SCHOOL By Colleen May This past week has really been alot of fun and excitement for Duchesne high school.
