Justice Jeppeson explained to the council that since he was an insurance salesman, he felt the new law, which requires that ' car owners buy insurance, might creat a conflict of interest for him in his official capacity. Elaborating on his decision, Jeppeson said that the job had required more of his time recently; time that he felt should be used for his business which has also become more no-fa- Danielson, Nathan Griffiths, Val Castillo, and Dennis Tribe, met with leaders of the Latter-da- y Saint Church Sunday to ask for suggestions of people who ult might qualify for the program.

Prefering that the Council on Aging be continued on the - county level, the Cache County Commissioners had earlier objected to the proposal.

According to Roger Jones, a planmember of the wants state ning office, the every region to be represented on the State Advisory Council on Aging so that everyone will have a voice on matters considered. At their January board meeting, Cache County Commissioners will present a name for this position. The question before the Bear River Association of Governments is one of approving tri-coun- ty Governor Ramptons proposal that the state become the legal unit of the Community Action Program. Presently those monies of the Office of Economic Opportunity are dis- tributed through a regional office in Denver. Governor Rampton wants them distribut- ed by the state. Members of the county commission in attendance at the meeting of the Bear River Association of Governments disagreed as to whether it would be better to have the money distributed by the state or by the Denver office as has been done in the past. On January 23 a hearing will be held in Logan at 11 a.m. to discuss this question. A final decision on the matter will not be made until after the hearing.
