BIG JOB 3-d- ay The clean-u- p job is nearly complete, and things seem to be back to normal foAowing what appeared to be the largest gathering of people for the annual UBIC observance in many years. The three-dacelebration saw crowds of serveral thousand people on hand for the evening programs, and hundreds of spectators on hand throughout the day Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the various activities that were scheduled. The largest single crowd was observed Saturday evening for the presentation of nationally know talent. All available sealing was filled, with crowds extending far back onto the lawns of the city park. The special Eugene Jelesnik show Friday evening, and locak talent show Thursday also drew capacity crowds. The weather threatened to squelch the program all three evenings, but after some bluffing, succeeded in passing over with little bother. Only one of the talent shows were judged this year, with others being presented for entertainment only. The children's talent show saw a group of youngsters vying for two top positions. Winning in the younger category was a group of five girls including Lisa Brough, Vickie Duncan, Cathy Duncan, Shellie Ross and Wendy Nebeker. The older category was also won by a group of girls, LecAnn Lube, Malinda Frandsen, Denise Frand-se- n and Lanie Egan.

Ashby Maybe you've noticed, but it appear that many people are unhappy becauae they cant afford the thing that make other people unhappy too. Now that the UBIC is over, we can concentrate on something else. Like maybe the county fair coming up in a couple of weeks, or even maybe getting caught up on some of the bookwork. Like most of you, we enjoyed the UBIC. And like most years, we can see some things that could be changed for the better. But all in all, the event seemed to go over with a minimum of "hitches". We had no problem ourselves, however, on the picture end. Although we shot some 125 pictures, and David Boen-de- r probably twice that amount, we didn't gel any pictures of Saturday night's program. We had camera problems, and they just didn't turn out. Sorry about that. But the rest of the pictures (or at least a small representation of the rest of the pictures) can be found in this week's paper. We were surprised Friday evening to see a couple walk into the park from Ferron, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Conovresidents of Emery er are long-tim- e county, now living in Richfield, and we've known them for a number of years. They were sent a special invitation to the UBIC by Eugene Jelesnick, who is a personal friend of theirs. Anyway, we were able to show them around the Basin a little, and also we met and chatted with Mr. Jelcsnik for some time. Mr. Conover, who is a member of the Utah State Fair Board, and has been for some 24 years, was thrilled with the UBIC. He and his wife attended every event they could get to Friday and Saturday and throughly enjoyed it all. Now, with attention turned to the county (air, we hope it is received with just as much enthusiasm. It does an area good to have people gel together to enjoy Die accomplishments of their neighbors, and to lend encouragement for their efforts. i Huge crowds attend UBIC celebration event during Shriners plan Vernal confab For the first time since 1875, the El Kalah Temple, Shriners, will have their annual initiation ceremonies outside Salt Lake City.

At the present lime the assessment rolls show a total valuation of $32,838,000. There are still some assessments to be added to this figure, which the clerk feels will swell the total to over the $35 million. This compares with a valuation of some $11 million in 1967. With the valuation reaching over the $30 million mark, some changes are expected in county government. The county will change classes in size designation, and will then be permitted to maintain commissioners if warranted. At the present time it is anticipated that the commissioners will increase their meeting srhedule, but do not plan to move into a position immediately.
