Show Editorial Basin Standard HJJintah Americans have much to be thankful for tional day of Thanksgiving. Ours is not a country ravaged by constant war. We do not witness mass murders of those who disagree with certain ideologies or the destruction of precious farm land for the sake of war. During the past year we have read a great deal about turmoil in foreign countries. There has been a mass slaughter of civilians in Labanon, a war in the Falkland Islands, the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and the continuing war in major wars have been fought in our Country; the first to win our freedom, and the second a test of our freedom and our country's strength. We survived those wars to become the greatest nation on earth. Our streets are not patrolled by armed soldiers, nor are our paths blocked by barbed wire. We have many problems, but they are short-liveThey are problems which will be d. overcome. Thursday, November 25, Americans will sit down for an annual feast. We all recognize the many gifts we have, but most of us take them for granted. This year as you sit down to partake of the banquet, take a moment to consider our lives in America. We should truly celebrate this year's Thanksgiving! Legislative Report Alarik When the general session of the legislature begins in January and runs for 60 consecutive days there will likely be in excess of 700 bills presented. Many of those will never see the light of day but some will pass and become law. Some of the major issues to come up will be the following: 1. The Certificate of Need statute will be reviewed. This law was mandated by the Federal Government to contain the cost of health care. One actual effect of the law was to increase the cost of the Duchesne County Hospital addition and to slow the starting of the project. 2. A review and tightening of rules regarding medicaid. The state administers this federal program and there is a need to cut waste and fraud. 3. The impact of government purchases of private land in a state which is already only 21 to 22 private land. Legislation may develop which would require a balance to be maintained through trades rather than outright purchases. 4. The insurance laws are being rewritten because of needed updating and consolidating. 5. The regulation of Public Utilities is being reorganized and redefined. 6. The Trade Commission and Consumer Protection Law may be revamped. This may include the regulation of securities and the Money Market Fund bill may come up again. 7. The Unemployment Insurance law will be reviewed and the tax may be changed to take into account the employers experience in this field. 8. Severance tax will again be an issue. 9. The law regarding oil and gas regulation is being completely rewritten. 10.

Child abuse laws may be reviewed again. 20. Changes in state employee classification and compensation system may be considered. 21. Funding for Hogle Zoo will be considered. 22. A state telecommunications system including educational uses has been proposed. 23. A law which would require that children be placed in child restraint devices while in a car has been proposed. 24. A mandatory motorcycle helmet law may be proposed. 25. Bonding for water and sewer projects, buildings, and roads has been proposed by the governor for us to consider. These are issues which have been identified as probable areas for legislation by the various committees of the legislature. There will be other issues also. If you have questions or concerns abou these or other issues please feel free to contact me. posed. Proposals may be made to increase state control over motor fuel marketing. 12.

December by Aileen Disher with which I the eagerness expresses still anticipate Christmas, and I hope you do too. In my column this week I'm going to share an assortment of holiday ideas. Did you know that if you unroll refrigerator crescent rolls and lay them flat youll have little Christmas tree rolls? Sure, just cut one of those triangles up to form the trunks, then brush the triangles with melted butter, sprinkle with colores sugar and bake. While youre sprinkling that colored sugar, remember to use it on hot breakfast cereals instead of plain sugar. It gives a festive touch with no extra work. Did you know that your candles and popcorn should be in the freezer? Not permanently, but here are some ideas to keep in mind. Popcorn that has been stored in the freeezer overnight guarantees more pop per kernel. And if you freeze candles for a few hours before burning, the flames will be steadier and will bum slower-wi- th less dripping too.

This is the stay: I was hauling a load of pipe in my semi south on the Bitter Creek road, east of Rock Springs, Wyoming. I was going down a stem grade, headed right for the railroad tracks, the lights were flashing, indicating to me there was a train coming to the intersection. I could see the train and he was coming fast. But I did not know that my brakes were about to rupture and thought notiiing about it I was going quite fast and started to slow down when I ruptured an air line on my brakes. Jessen came around me in his pickup and heard the air pouring out and apparently knew I could not stop in time. He swerved in front of me, disregarding his own safety, and I , tan in to the back of his pickup, almost wrecking him. I hit him two or three times before we made solid connections. He applied his brakes, I pushed him down the road about half mile before we stopped about 100 a ' yards from the railroad tracks and a certain death. I got out of my rig, on shakey legs, and the only thing I could think of to Why would say is you're crazy! you even think you could stop a loaded semi with a half-topickup? Jessen laughed it off and said, If Id hit the train he would have felt like he had to help pick up the pipe and he was late for work and didn't have time to be gathering up a bunch of pipe. He also told me after he settled my nerves where he was from, and how people in his home town helped, each other and it just seemed like it was a natural thing to do. Well, I would sure like to visit that town. Thanks again, Scott! I will always feel like I owe my life to you. You have my card, please send me the bill to fix the back of your truck. Its the least I can do. One grateful truck driver A special STANDARD MANY FACTORS CAN Letters saving my life I like days with a collar, And Nights when the moon is a silver dollar.

Our plight during the past year has not been militaristic, but economic. For the past year Americans have faced increased unemployment, the highest since the depression, and high interest rates. Businesses have continued to fail and things look bleak. An attempt to hide this fact would be a insult to the intelligence of the American people. However, there are many things for which we should be thankful, and during this week we should express our appreciation.
