Some parents also objected to the smaller students riding the bus for an additional 38 miles a day. In the poll 60 voted against considering any school plan while 28 was agreeable to further study of an agreeable plan. The Shell Board is to meet with the Greybull School Board on Nov. 10 to discuss the reorganization further.

agency, which also supplies any needed medication. The school clinics are free of charge. TB testing Is available In the communities named to all pre-school and school-age children. Rubella vaccine is available to pre-schoolers and elementary school youngsters up to grade six. Girls who have reached puberty cannot be given the rubella vaccine.

Hedderick said students needing diphtheria-tetanus toxoid vaccine can be given this along with the rubella vaccine. This is possible because the DT toxoid Is a dead organism vaccine while the rubella Is a live virus vaccine. "We don't give two live viruses at the same time," explained Hedderick. He added that it won't be long before it will be possible to give two live viruses. One drug manufacturer now has a combination rubella-mumps vaccine, both of which are live viruses.

"I think this is golng'to be the trend of the future," said the public health advisor, who pointed out the difficulty now for schools to get in all the recommended Immunizations when given separately. PEACE RALLY: Dave Steffenson is shown addressing the Veterans for Peace rally near the War Memorial on the UW Campus at Laramie. a Peace March in Laramie CHEYENNE-An estimated 1,000 Kemmerer school children will be tested for tuberculosis during a series of school clinics the week of Nov. 30. The Preventive Medicine section of the State Division of Health and Medical Services will sponsor the clinics which will also include rubella, or German measles immunizations for an estimated 700 Kemmerer school children.

During the same week, similar clinics will be conducted in Baggs, Eden-Farson, LaBarge and Cokeville. Scheduled for the week of Dec. 7 are Moorcroft, Hulett and Sundance Last year over 41,000 doses of rubella vaccine were administered to Wyoming youngsters, aged one through 12, In a push to eradicate the disease. Although it causes only comparatively mild illness in children, it can cause severe birth defects if contracted by a woman In her first three months of pregnancy. Elementary school age youngsters are the prime transmitters of rubella.

In communities where they are available, physicians and public health nurses conduct the Immunization and testing clinics. But in small towns In the state where there are no health personnel, the clinics are given by Dr. H.S. Parish, director of Preventive Medicine for the state health agency, and by John Hed-derick, public health advisor. The TB test is given by Injecting a small amount of test material under the top layers of skin on the Inner forearm.

Two days later the test Is read. If negative, nothing further Is needed. However, If positive, it menas a tuberculosis Infection la present although not necessarily that the individual has an active case of the disease. Anyone with a positive skin test receives an x-ray paid for by the state health Fund Raising Effort Fails By VICKIE WHTTEHORN LARAMIE The friends of Norene Sehl, HiU Hall coed who died in her room Oct. 6, made one final effort to raise funds for Norene's funeral expenses Friday night.

A dance was scheduled at Wood's Landing. Price of admission was $1.50 stag, $2 for a couple. "Paper," a Denver band, played. A lot of people came; everyone had wonderful time; refreshments were served; the group lost $270. Chuck Collins, organizer, said that although a lot of people came, there just weren't enough and the band cost too much money.

"That $270 is a personal loss, though," Collins said. "None of it is coming out of the memorial fund. Anyone wishing to contribute towards helping Norene's mother with the funeral expenses may write to Chuck Collins In Room 324, Orr Hall, Laramie, 82070, of The First National Bank of Laramie, In care of the Norene Sehl Memorial Fund. Road Project Waits On Right-of-Way GREYBULL Purchase of the right-of-way for the U.S.-14 highway project east of Greybull has not yet been completed so the contract cannot be let, reported Pat Brown, engineer for the Wyoming Highway Department. During the summer the Highway Department announced it hoped to let a seven-mile stretch of highway from the Shell checking station almost to the east entrance to Greybull by October or November.

However, it is continuing the purchase discussions for the new stretch of highway. A January bid letting date is set. He added that this project would replace a section of road that had been built by mules and scrapers. Students Complete Job Training Course ROCK SPRINGS Eleven students successfully completed the Manpower Development Training Act (MDTA) program In industrial maintenance at Western Wyoming College and were awarded completion certifigates by Dr. C.

C. Crandall, WWC president, at ceremonies in the WWC Library Auditorium. Receiving certificates were Robert L. Pauly, Albert Battisti, James E. Fornengo, Frederick J.

Crawford, Eugene Flaherty, Robert Guillen, Myron W. Gunyan, Frank M. Martinez, Ronald J. Morris, James D. Reed, and Timothy R.

Ryan Jr. The MDTA students have pursued a 40-hour per week course in mechanics, electricity, welding, blueprint reading' hydraulics, pneumatics, and shop-related mathematics, taught by Cliff Hokanson and Carl Schultz, WWC Instructors. With an original enrollment of 15 students, 11 successfully completed the course. One student became sick and had to drop out of the course, another moved to California, and two completed the course but "Not successfully." State MDTA records show that an average of 50 per cent of those successfully completing such courses are placed in jobs commensurate with each individual's ability. President Crandall pointed out that the WWC, course had doubled this placement figure to 100 per cent; all 11 students have been placed in jobs.

Local Companies, employing these students are Gunn-Qtlealy Coal Food Machinery and Chemical Corporation (FMC), Stauffer Chemical Texas Gulf Sulphur U. S. General Services Administration and the U. S. Bureau of Mines.

of to for at in By MARGARET SIMPSON GREYBULL The reorganisation of the Greybull grade school district to include Shell and Emblem has made little or no progress with the Shell district, it was reported following a meeting of the Shell Board with Greybull Board members. Under the school legislation passed by the 1969 Legislature, school districts must be reorganized to meet the qualifications set up by the State Education Department and this plan must be submitted by Jan. 1, 1971. If a voluntary plan is not submitted and been approved before Jan. 1, 1972, the State Education Department set up the reorganization plan for the county and in order to receive state and federal education funds.

At present there are 13 students from3 grades 1 to 5 attending school in Shell with one teacher; and there are 8 junior high students and 11 senior high students who attend the Greybull schools with the Shell School board paying tuition and bus transportation for the students coming into Greybull. A poll showed property owners and parents of children heavily in favor of continuing the 1 to 5 grades In the Shell school. The vote was 90 to 14 for continuing the Shell School for grades 1 to 5 as long as economically feasible; but on the question of whether they preferred to see the grades 1 through 5 go into Greybull the vote was 75 16 against Of the more than 100 answering the questions, there were 67 who had no children and forty who do have young children in school.

All four also witnessed the crash when the Berti vehicle struck the motorcycle being ridden by Flaim. Although prosecuting attorney Robert Bath argued that Browne "willfully and wantonly" drove his vehicle in a reckless manner the night of the accident," defense attorney J. Garrett Smith argued that the prosecution had not proven this.

Jury members were Alfred Acker, Andrew Fech, Cecil Headd Dwight Jones, Robert Knudsen, and George Osselton.

Fuel Company Earnings Higher ROCK SPRTNGS-Mountain Fuel Supply Co. and subsidiary, Wasatch Chemical Co.

has reported that earnings for the first nine months of 1970 were eight cents a share higher than earnings for the comparable period a year ago. For the nine-month period ending Sept. 30, 1970, earnings were $4,534,151, or $1.85 a share, compared with earnings of $4,336,548, or $1.77 a share, for the same period in 1969, said M.M. Fidlar, Mountain Fuel president. There were 2,450,320 shares outstanding in both periods.

Fidlar attributed the earnings increase to continued company growth and the Increased of natural gas by all customers. He said that, while tern-' peratures were about 5 per cent warmer, than normal, there was a 4.6 per cent in- -crease in sales for the first nine months of the year, and a 5.2 per cent increase for the 12 months ending September 30, 1970. Lai has its beginnings in giving a child a toy M-l rifle as a Christmas present." Steffenson spoke on the Vietnamization of the War, calling it pure sham." He continued, "Vietnamization may be working in the Pentagon but it is not working in Vietnam. The term is simply a rhetorical way of getting out (of the war) sometime in the future." Several members of the Veterans for Peace suggested making the Vietnam War Memorial on the UW campus larger or doing away with it all together. Future plans of the VFP were discussed and participation was asked for a planned trip by the Veterans for Peace to Fitz-simons Army Hospital In Denver.

The rally ended with the participants singing protests songs. Teno Recalls Early Life in Rock Springs By HEIDI S.NORSKOG ROCK you remember me?" seemed to be the question asked most of Teno Roncalio at the dinner and social held after the speeches presented to an overflow crowd attending the Democratic rally at the Slovenskl Dom Saturday evening. Roncalio, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, was born and raised about three blocks from the Dom, which, he explained, was built about 80 years ago to serve as the community hall for Rock Springs. It was built by and for the Slovenian people in southwestern Wyoming, predominantly coal miners at that time.

Bom of Italian parents who immigrated to the United States In 1903, Teno was the eighth of nine children born in Rock Springs. His parents are interred in the Rock Springs cemetery. Returning from service in World War II, Roncalio again resided in Rock Springs in 1947 and 1948, during which times he was Sweetwater County Democratic Chairman. In 1948, he mentioned, Sweetwater County gave Democrat Lester C. Hunt an all-time majority vote for U.S.

Senator of 4,300 votes, a record yet to be matched. Roncalio also pointed out that, since Depression days, the Democrats traditionally honor Sweetwater County, a Democratic stronghold, by climaxing each campaign year with a rally in Rock Springs the Saturday before the elections. Even though on the campaign trail, Roncalio said he had spent most of the day in sentimental visits with old family friends. Reminiscing, he pointed out that Rock Springs had been the first Wyoming community to host a full and complete symphonic orchestra. This was In 1925 under the guidance of J.J.

Brueggeman, now in a Cheyenne hospital. Another outstanding memory Roncalio treasures is that of International Night, attributable to a Baptist minister, the Rev. Steven Pyle. Representing the true melting potihat Rock Springs has been, "good will toward men," first pronounced In English, would be repeated in some 47 different languages and dialects. There would be showings of handiwork, products from the "old and costumes from these different cultures.

Roncalio added that he had been fortunate In being reared where the "true concept of brotherhood" was practiced, and he regrets the passing of the traditional International Night. Roncalio brought his three oldest children with him on the trip to Rock Springs, leaving his wife with their two youngest children at home for "trick or treats." The Roncalios have lived in Cheyenne since Teno moved there in January 1949 to practice law.

S. senator, assembled in front of the Wyoming Union for a peace march and rally Saturday afternoon. The march, sponsored by the Veterans for Peace organization of the University of Wyoming, was from the Union to the War Memorial near Old Main.

John Tlerney, write-in candidate for. governor, and Dave Steffenson, write-In candidate for the U.S. Senate, were among those who participated in the march and spoke at the rally held at the War Memorial. Speaking out against the Vietnam war, Tierney said, "The Nixon policy has been to let mercenaries take over the war." In another statement, Tierney said, "My New Overpass Plan Delayed GREEN RIVER-Highway Commissioner E.L. Taliaferro told the Chamber of Commerce that preliminary studies on a railroad overpass to connect the north and south sides of the town of Green River and alleviating the jammed traffic condition occasioned by the lone underpass (built more than 30 years ago), call for an overpass east of the present UP station building, approximately between Second and Third East.

He also stated that further progress is more or less In the hands of the railroad. He said the central location Is favored because of the shorter length required, because of reduced access gradient at the north end, and because of minimum interference with the railroad yards. Predicted is that the railroad will not take any final action under two years, as that is probably the time required for the UP to study the plan and to progress it through the required corporate channels. Taliaferro said that the project is being constantly brought before the highway commission, and that efforts to secure funds are continuing. Elect Grazing Board ROCK SPRINGS-Livestock grazing Eirmittees re-elected four incumbents to ree-year terms on the 12-member District Advisory Board ofthe Rock Springs district of the Bureau of Land Management, according to Neil F.
