According to Duchesne Mayor Ed Browning; a delegation which included Chamber of Commerce President Terry Heaps, Councilman Kim Hamblin, and attorney Lance Wilkerson met with Governor Scott Mathison recently, to express concern over the discontinuance of the services of the driver license examiner and others in Duchesne. Residents of that city, and communities west of Duchesne, must come to Roosevelt to obtain services formerly available closer to home. The governor said that he would look into the matter,' and agreed that the services should be available in Duchesne. Last week, an agreement had apparently been reached, which proe vided a secretary for Duchesne who would represent the Drivers License Division,' Family Services and Job Service. The secretary would initially provide information and forms, and would eventually be trained to administer one-fourt- h, one-fourt- h, ' foil-tim- . certain tests. Under the arrangement ' Family of the Sendees would pay secretary's salary,, the Drivers License and Division would pay and Job Service would pay serve as the lead agency for hiring and advancement of the secretary. The remaining fourth of the secretary's salary would come from CETA's special summer youth program fundone-four- th , ing. Duchesne County agreed to provide three offices and a reception area. At the present time, Job Service sends a representative to Duchesne one day a week, providing assistance with unemployment insurance, and some 'job placement services; Family Services has a representative who travels from Roosevelt to Duchesne but who is largely occupied with field work; and the Drivers License examiner visits the city once a month. However, late last week, Job Service indicated that dissatisfied with the according to Brownin; License Division is as well. According to one spokesman, it is the Salt Lake Job Service office that is dragging its feet," despite the fact that Job Service actually stands to gain the most from the arrangement Farmers Union president at White House briefing President of the Farmers Union, attended a White House briefing regarding the action taken by the President to embargo grain sales to the Soviet .

Nordstrom said that part of the problem lie in some, degree of n of Job Service in the Duchesne ares. He explained that Job Service is budgeted on the basis of potential utilization, and that more use of the service by area employers would almost automatically result in an increase in services provided by the agency. He added that the local Job Service office actually offices on the Wasatch Front on .a basis, and that the Duchesne area could no doubt benefit by taking fuller advantage of the service. One important argument in favor of having an office located in Duchesne is the saving on gasoline costs involved in having agency representatives commute daily from Roosevelt that the Browning emphasized County Commissioners have been fully supportive of obtaining more comprehensive services for area residents,' and that county and dty officials are joining in the' effort to resolve the situation.
