It would be difficult in small restaurants which can not afford an extra employee, he said. Allowing employees to bring liquor and wine to the table, to remove caps or corks, and to charge for beverages on the meal check would relieve the annoyance ofthe customer, and more importantly, the ability of the proprietor of the restaurant to control the dispensing of alcoholic beverages on his premises would be greatly aided," he said.

Utah Supreme Court, with which the original lawsuit was filed, will consider it shortly. The action challenges the seating, which took place Monday with swearing in ceremonies) of 19 new or legislators who are school district employees. Mr. Kinnersley said the suit charges educators in Utah public schools may well be in conflict of interest if serving as legislators because the legislature deals every session with matters directly affecting education, including teachers salaries. He said the association has raised the question at this time because it is believed other citizens might challenge the educators legislators after the session convenes and possibly after the teachers have acted upon critical legislation. In a prepared release, the Association noted, We are asking the cour to rule on this question: Since the Legislature appropriates the funds from which public school employees and state university employees are paid as well as the funds from which the state employees are paid, are employees of the public schools and of the universities classified as state employees?" The goal is not to throw legislators out of office, but merely to seek fair and equitable treatment for all state emoplyees." re-elect- ed season, reported employment security office.

ITS YOUR BUSINESS BY DIANE WEILENMANN You now have your 1971 resolutions formed and (hopefully not broken!) Your holiday trappings and trimmings are tucked safely away. You are ready to work on a great new you! The excitement of a new year is the wonder of a new day, week or month expanded into 12 glorious months. You have them now is your opportunity to mold them! Time has the quality of continuwe have the promise of ing new days! What to do with the gift of time? Time should not be spent it should be invested! One great way to evaluate what you most wish to accomplish this year is to reflect on what you wish you had done last year! You maw be much more efficient than I, but I find it easy to forget not only my resolutions but also my resoluteness. Therefore I make several copies of the final draft and hang them in obvious places: closet door, over the kitchen sink, in my date book, and on the mirror. Funny what a cheering section (and otherwise) this encourages. I always begin the resolutions with the high hope of fulfilling them all by February 1, but I still enjoy working on them on August 5. New beginnings refine our efforts, stimulate imaginations, encourage improvement, and create a meory pool of wisdom. I lope your new beginning in 71 will be positive, full and even fun.
