The government gov-ernment is only as good as the people in it," Representative Represent-ative Gunn McKay toldPCHS students Wednesday in an assembly. He also said that Watergate Water-gate has had an effect on the country but the high caliber of Americans will get us through any problems that arise. On impeachment of Pres-dent Pres-dent Nixon, Representative Represent-ative McKay said he would not make a decision until he has seen and examined all of the evidence. IF THE OFFICE OF President Pres-ident has been abused by President Nixon by his withholding with-holding evidence, acceptinga bribe, or committing other crimes, Representative McKay Mc-Kay will vote for impeachment. impeach-ment. Mr. McKay also told the students that if President Nixon were to resign things would be quickly resolved, but the "system" wouldn't be put to the test. If impeachment proceedings proceed-ings continue, we will learn how well the 'system" really does work. Demo cracyis time-consuming and expensive expen-sive but still the best system of government known. In foreign affairs, the UJS. buys friends. There is a contest con-test between the UJS. and the Communists. Whoever gets to a country first with the most money and other forms of aid will have that country's coun-try's friendship. Small countries coun-tries are really only pawns. The UJS. needs friends to get products that she doesn't have and friends also come in handy for military reasons. The costs of campaigning for the position of U.S. Representative Rep-resentative in Utah can range from $45,000 to $60,000, he said. The most practical solution to cutting these costs is to set a limit on campaign spendingandtouse tax dollars for campaigns. As it is now, opponents try to keep up with one another and then try to out-do one another. This only increases costs. Representative McKay pointed out the pros and cons of a two-year term in the House of Representatives. Much of the two-year term is spent campaigning for the upcoming election, leaving little time to legislate. However, How-ever, a short term keeps the Representative more sensitive sen-sitive and closer to the people in his district. This has been the reason for a two year term since the Constitution Con-stitution was drawn up. Mr. McKay's home is in Huntsville, Utah. He has been a teacher, a farmer and a businessman. He has been a Congressman for four years. He has also been Governor Rampton's administrative assistant. He is the fourth freshman Representative to be appointed to the Appropriations Approp-riations Committee in this century. He is also on several sev-eral subcommittees. Representative McKay has found that the best way to work with his fellow Congressmen Con-gressmen and to develop trust is to be open.

Makeup days are Thursday from 3:30p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and every Saturday Sat-urday from 9:00 a.m. until 12 noon. On these makeup days a teacher is available to supervise su-pervise the students. Students get two weeks to makeup their hours. If they fail to make them up, they will not receive the credits they need to graduate.

Jan Peterson, manager of Wolfes, a guest speaker at PCHS, explained the reason for lie detector tests. With the unique situation in Park City of having many people moving in for only one season at a time, a reliable reference refer-ence is needed for each job applicant. ,The lie detector is this reference. The lie detector lets the examiner know if an applicant ap-plicant has a history of drug use or has a tendency to "rip things off". Also, if merchandise turns up missing mis-sing the employees are some times required to take the test. Although each test costs $20.00, this method has been proved very effective and worth the cost. Mr. Peterson, the guest of Mrs. Nancy Redding, the special education teacher, spoke to the students about job opportunities now and in the future here in Park City. The job outlook, according to Mr. Peterson, is good for both high school and college graduates. A great deal of expansion and growth are planned for Park City in the near future; therefore, jobs which require managing, accounting ac-counting and marketing, and environmental skills will be numerous. Mr. Peterson wanted to get away from the larger cities, so he came to Park City. One thing Mr. Peterson likes about Park City is that there are no stop lights. Lori R.

Even though it rained, a bus full of kids from Park City participated, along with students from Heber, North and South Summit. We started our journey at the Heber Courthouse. From there we walked 4.3 miles to the Provo River Bridge, our first check point. A lot of kids were already tiring because the "poop out" bus was full. Our next stop was the Homestead which brought the milage up to 8.9 miles. Next we stopped at the Midway Town Hall. Total mileage 10.3 miles. Half-way there and the blisters were starting to wear. It seemed like everyone was slowing down. The next distance was the longest of all. I guess it seemed that way because food was waitingat the Charleston Char-leston Park, our next stop. I guess everyone had aching ach-ing feet, because off came the shoes. Some had holes in their socks, but I guess that their feet felt better without their shoes than with them. Finally, the Park. A total of 14.1 miles. At the park we had hot dogs, potato chips, soda, fruit and cookies, and there was a fire for those who were cold. After our short rest, on we went to the Crossroads Husky Service. About this time everyone was laughing and singing so they wouldn't cry. When we reached the Husky we had walked 18.8 miles. Two miles and we would finish. We tried to run the last two miles, but our feet just wouldn't do it. When we reached the court house, there were refreshments. refresh-ments. Everyone who walked received a certificate becoming be-coming a full-fledged member mem-ber of "The Order of the Battered Bat-tered Boot." All in all it was fun and I myself would do it again.
