Show Pfifle 2, October 22, 1966 Editorial Standard UJimtah (Basin Police need some money for drugs Something very strange is taking place among Uintah Basin law enforcement departments, primarily Roosevelt Gty Police. RPD is soliciting and almost begging - for some money from businesses or residents who are interested in cleaning up the drug problems plaguing the city. ' Roosevelt Gty Police Chief Cecil Gurr said if some money could be generated to buy drugs, then possible burglary and theft cases will be solved. He said most criminals, who are drug addicts, must steal items in order to pay for their addiction. Because Roosevelt City Council is in a budget crunch, money is. just not available in the city coffers. But for some residents and business people, who have been victimized or have known of someone in the unfortunate situation, to come forward and donate some money - the problem could be . - tax-exem- pt helped greatly.

It is the day the United States lost the opportunity to take a giant step towards easing world tensions and reducing the obscene nuclear arms race. We lost an unparalleled historical moment because our president would rather keep his misguided "dream" than compromise. This dream. The Strategic Defense Initiative, is a cruel hoax. According to a large majority of our most respected scientists it cannot be made workable and even if it would not protect us. It is one thousand times more difficult to accomplish than launching a shuttle. - Carl Sagan. This dream is so expensive no one can predict the final costs, but all guesses are in the trillions. Further, it will take most of our d minds which will cost us our slight edge in industrial technology, thus further reducing our standard of living. And at the very best, it would not protect us against missiles, submarine launched missiles, and the that advocates admit would likely escape the SDI net. For this we sacrifice our wealth, our societal needs, our industrial security, our hopes and dreams for real peace based on mutual understanding, trade, treaties, and all peaceful means of negotiating. When will the people of the United States wake up bom their dream? When will they recognize that their smiling pal, President Reagan, is leading us all down a path to disaster? Barbara L.

Potential educators and students from other states considering craning to Utah will most surely bypass us when our quality of education and credibility are seriously in doubt When Weber State College and State Universities must cut Outreach educational programs and nursing education programs in the next two' years, our rural populace is once again kicked in the teeth and buried under political and beaurocratic negative decision. We are left to rot educationally on the very desert the Utah pioneers worked so hard to help blossom as a rose. Carol D. Jeppson RN, MA Roosevelt, Utah .

Allred large dip BASIN who steal for an occupation and addiction, is just sitting in your wallets or checking accounts. RPD is not asking for you to second mortgage your home. Just a measly $10 or $15 a month will go a long way in combating the problem if everyone in the community supported the program. Times are rough, we know. We also know, and statistics back it up, that when times are rough - crime increases. So who wins? Gertainly not the ordinary ' citizen who just minds his own business. But possibly supplying the police with a little money will help you or your neighbor from being a victim during the rough times. When a community pulls together and ; supports the very foundation that society is based on, freedom, things start to happen. Freedom means that you are unafraid to leave your home unlocked or go into your backyard to do some watering. So how about opening up the wallet and support a little. Your home and children just may depend on it. is much appreciated both for the sake of convenience to those entering and exiting Highway 40 and vehicles not having to approach at an angle to avoid dragging.

The rumors of the need to cancel the Yule event centered around the problem finding a Mace to hold the event this year. The UBAVC declined to host ths event due to liability insurance concerns. Both the old elementary school and the Middle School were sought, but were withdrawn after a discussion with the School Board.
