Show Richmond ond Other North Cache Communities Serving Smithfield, lewiston, VOL. XII, NO. 49, DECEMBER 4, 1975, SMITHFIELD, UTAH, 84335 Wards Discuss Possible Erection Of Church Priesthood members in the Third and Seventh Wards voiced their approval for constructing a new church house on the west side of the present building located on Second South and First East. This action has only set the wheels rolling on a very long road laden with paper work, finances and modification in present plans. In the near future Stake President Blaine Rich will discuss the possibilities of a new church with the church building committee in Salt Lake City. Members feel the present building is not adequate to fill their needs. Although the church underwent an estimated $275,000 remodeling venture in 1909 and just recently a new roofing job the chapel can only sit 50 per cent of the Seventh Wards membership. According to George Jepp-socounselor in the Seventh Ward bishopric the building has many problems within its 50 year old structure. Some of the problems include insulation inefficiencies, windows that will not open, large heating bills, air conditioning and speaking system difficulties. Besides these problems n, church may house the Third and Seventh Wards.

Further development was outlined in the following order: the purchase of additional golf course property; develop an additional ten holes; develop a west playground area; continue the development of Forrester Acres; match gifts for investment to pay off bond; match future grants for park development, and other capital acquisitions or improvements. City officials said they had hoped they could manage without selling the additional bonds, but in order to meet the obligations they felt this to be a better way than borrowing against tax anticipated monies. other funds, such as general, 5 per cent interest must be paid. An amount equal to one ever, takes about three before funding is received and the city will need money available to pay for the purchase of the additional golf course property on which they have an option until January 1. When the bond money is received and as BOR funds are returned the money is to be invested to draw interest for the recreation development. The council agreed to the following stipulations regarding such funds: They shall never be used for operational purposes (salaries and such). Interest accrued will stay in this fund.

Although the wards have had a standard church plan drawn up, modifications in the size of the recreation hall need more discussion. The plan's recreation hall needs to be the size of the stake house's hall. Instead, it's only half that size, said Jeppson. In order to justify the modifications the church has asked that 60 per cent of the ward's membership attend Sacrament meeting. This cannot be done, said Jeppson, we can only squeeze 50 per cent o the membership into the chapel comfortably. This is why President Rich will have to talk to the building committee personally. Everything remains tentative while the wards wait to see if the plan will be accepted with the modifications. If they tentatively agree, the wards will then submit an application for the new meeting place. According to Jeppson, the paper work would take Bicentennial Choir Formed The Bicentennial Historical Heritage Society of Smith-fiel- d has requested a Bicentennial Choir to be organized to perform during the bicentennial year.

Then we would of the have to raise one-hamoney even before construction could begin. The church estimates that a standard church plan costs approximately $650,000. But since we would want a larger recreation hall than what the basic plan calls for it would cost more. lf If everything goes accord ing to plan the new church would be erected west of the present building where the parking lot lays. While the construction was in progress the members would continue to go to the older building. Upon completion of the new church the old structure would be torn down and a parking lot on the east of the new church would be made. Blizzard Maroons Clarkston By Gladys Loosle Clarkston An old-tim- e blizzard on Sunday caused both roads fading out of Clarkston to be closed during that night and until Monday afternoon. A drifting wind had been blowing since Tuesday afternoon, which reached its momentum on Sunday when strong southwest winds started blowing, whipping the 18 inches of snow that fell on Thanksgiving Day and the previous Friday and Saturday. Thiokol and the sugar factory workers were unable to report at their jobs Monday, also the children were unable to go to school, so they had a big day in snowmobil-mg- . Several adults also enjoyed the extended holiday. Two snowplows were stuck on tiie road east of Clark- ston leading to Trenton. They became stuck in the early hours of the morning. A D-- 7 Cat from Ogden was called for by Ed Chadwick, northern supervisor of the state road department, but it became stranded in Sardine Canyon with a broken transmission, so another one was called for from Salt Lake (Sty. The Clarkston-Newto- n road was not opened until after the road leading to Trenton. This is the first time since 1948 that Clarkston has been marooned by snow drifts, when some citizens were unable to get back to their families for over a week. One resident, Delilah Everhart, gave birth to a lovely baby girl Monday morning in the Logan Hospital, but luckily her husband, Wesley, braved the blizzard Sunday afternoon and took her to Logan.
