With the mas season, we problem of of supporting ants or taking bargains" in ments must be met. Retail businesses must make a profit to exist. Schools must rely on tax revenues and at least an adequate number of students to assure a balanced curriculum, in order to continue operation. These two factors are dependent on job opportunities within the area, and the of the economy. Remember, most of us live where we do because of choice. We like it here. Merchants also like it here not because they are making a fortune (they could generally do better in areas of greater population), but because they enjoy the clientele they serve. We must also remember that the future of these communities depends on the support of its members. If we are to continue to enjoy the environmental advantages of our towns, we must feed the impending Christagain face the age-ol- d the relative merits merch- hometown advantage of the the metropolitan centers. Youve heard the arguments, and con, many times. However, pro the problem still exists, and it becomes more acute each year as transportation innovations bring us nearer the mass markets. But, perhaps, we should look at a few additional facts. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you live in your present community? For most of us, it is by choice. We live here in order to offer to our families the best possible environment for training, while at the same time we endeavor to provide for them all the advantages and opportunities that might be needed for their future. We feel our smaller communities are ideal. They provide clear air to breath, healthy associations with neighbors, and an opportunity to participate in community functions. At the same time our towns provide the basic economic needs for residents, and all the educational and civic needs that are required. In order to maintain this economic independence in our communities, however, certain require economic structure that keeps them operative. Otherwise, they will continue to dwindle. No one likes to be told where he can shop or where he cannot. And we would not endeavor to do so. But by the same token, we cannot expect our. limited buying power to help build our communities if it is funneled into metropolitan areas. Lets keep our communities. Use your buying power where it will bring dividends back to you. CE00 PATIENTS DeAnne Eldredge, Phone news items to Spears 722-21- Specials Today! Terry McKee . . given Citizens Alert Award Tuesday.

It seems that the public things the city should maintain a place for them to dispose of their trash and garbage, and keep it clean, but they dont realize that the city needs the cooperation of the public. There are signs placed to direct the dumping but the citi- are cutting Christmas trees In the Hill Creek Area. They presently have orders for 600 trees and expect more orders at any time. They will also cut a few trees for local use. Orders for these trees should be placed at either the Tribal Accounting Office or at the Forester's Office. Price to Tribal members Is $1 per each tree and to others the price is Forester Roy H. Degler the difference In price Is because Tribal members do not have to pay the $2. explained zens either dont read or wont. If the present situation keeps up, it appears that the city will have to employ a man to see that things are kept clean. That will mean that a fee wll have to be charged or a tax Imposed to pay this mans wages, so 1 think the citizens should cooperate in this matter. Preston Mitchell that stumpage fee. $1 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Christmas Opening Special! ed Box 4-l- b.

Airman Strader Is a graduate of Altamont High School. Dear Editor: There seems to be many 'questions and some misunderstanding throughout the county regarding the construction and operation of the Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center located on the Union High School CamTo clarify a few points pus. I would like to make the following observations: 1. Funds tor construction of the Vocational building were obtained from two sources. First a Federal Grant of $100,000.00 was granted the Duchesne County Board of Education from funds administered by the Utah State Board of Education, In turn, the Duchesne Board matched this with of local bond $100,000.00 money. This money could be used only for construction of a building. 2. The grant came about through the efforts of the Duchesne Board, working directly with the State Superintendents Office and not through political action of any individual or group. 3. Funds for equipping the facility were also made available through the State Board of Education. This amounted to $45,000.00 In federal funds administered by the State Board of Education. These are the sole sources of funds used for building and equipping the present facility, except for equipment that was already at Union High School. The funds have been acquired through the efforts of your County Board of Education and Its administrative staff. 4. For adult education and post high school classes the Vocational Center has received a grant of $40,000.00 from funds appropriated for the Roosevelt Junior College by the last legis lature. This money Is to be used for maintenance and operation costs of the post high school programs. 5. The Vocational center Is charged with providing vocational and technical training to students and adults from all areas of the Uintah Basin. It Is separate and apart from the Continuing Education Program. Each of these programs serve a definite, yet somewhat different function. One Is academic for college credit, the other vocational-technic- al for direct job preparation. The Vocational School serves a real purpose In enriching the basic school curriculum. R gives an opportunity to our youth for job preparation that they have never had before. Asa Board of Education we are proud to be a part of this project and feel good in playing a major role In bringing this facillt) and program to the students of the Uintah Basin. The vocational school program Is administered by the Union Board of Managers which body represents both Duchesne and Uintah Counties. By mutual agreement the maintenance and operation costs of the high school program are jointly basis acborne on a pro-ratcording to school population from each district. For twenty-tw- o years, as a board member, I have seen the great need for vocational-technic- al training In the Duchesne County Schools. I am proud to have played a part, along with the rest of the Board, In seeing this goal materialize. I was somewhat disappointed following the fine dedication program for the Vocational Center that no recognition was given the Duchesne County School Board or its administrative staff In the local paper for the work they had done In getting the Center established and functioning. Also recognition should be given to the Union Board of Managers for their Both groups didlcated work. |
