asked to sponsor senior citizens' plan NEWCASTLE Mayor Don McColley and the Newcastle city council have taken under advisement the proposal of the senior citizens group that the council become its sponsoring agency. It was noted that if the Newcastle city government agrees to sponsor an aging program it will be the first to do so in the state of Wyoming. Calvin Ackley, chairman of the senior citizens' group, explained to the city council that a sponsoring agency is needed because someone must handle the bookkeeping and other business if the group is to obtain government funds under Title III. Title III was the funding act passed in 1969 which supported the Older Americans Act passed in 1964. Mrs.

Harvev Gonde of the Weston Storm stalls plow County Public Assistance and Social Services office noted that approximately $5,000 in federal funds is available for the Newcastle community. Community projects funded, in part, by federal grants operating in Laramie, Casper, Cheyenne, Rock' SaratogaEncampment, Sheridan, Springs, and Green River. If the Newcastle senior citizens group can find a sponsoring, agency, it plans to develop a citizens' center. The federal government will provide 75 per cent of the cost of approved. senior citizens' projects the first year.

By the fourth year of operation the project should be self supporting. Mrs. Goode further explained that the community's share does not have to be DUBOIS Monday's storm was even rough for the snowplows in the Dubois area. A U.S. Plywood F.W.D.

snowplow, driven by Jack and Fred Peterson, on its regular run from top of Union Pass to Pelton and Park Creeks was put out of commission for four hours, in blustery, below zero weather at 4 a.m. The snowplow was stalled and went off the road between Park Creek and Pelton Creek when the vehicle caught on fire, due to an electrical disorder and consequently the lights went out. Fortunately, Steve Berk' was following close behind the plow with the service truck, so with the combination of manpower and machinery, the snowplow was eventually put back into operation and completed the regular run. State nixes county dun for rescue work WORLAND An attempt to recover costs from a massive hunter-rescue operation last fall has received a "thumbs down" from the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. Washakie county had billed the commission $1,326 for the cost of men and equipment employed to clear a path: to some twenty hunters stranded above Ten Sleep in the Big Horn Mountains Oct.

21-23. The statement also carried mileage for Washakie county sheriff James Warhila and his undersheriff, plus airplane rental and cost of food dropped to the stormstranded hunters. James B. White, 'state Game and Commissioner, said the state agency has no money for rescue operations and noted that the department employes are often called upon for similar duties, without compensation to the department. White also pointed out that non-resident hunters bring 1 money into the areas where they hunt, "including taxable dollars." County Commissioner Robert Swander said that the denial of the claim by the Game and Fish- Commission means that the county will have to foot the bill for the rescue operations.

Since no funds have been budgeted for rescues, Swander said it means county residents will get that much less in service from the county this year. Washakie county commissioners said they did not wish to make an issue out of Lawsuits face new trustees LARAMIE Legal actions and their status met the new Albany County School Board District No. 1 in their first meeting Monday night. The board was told by David Hitchcock, attorney, that a lawsuit brought by two dismissed Laramie teachers is being kept under advisement by the Wyoming "Supreme Court, until the U.S. Supreme Court acts on a similar case.

He said the suit was brought for $6,300 but did not release any more information. Tie Siding is located south of Laramie, near the Colorado border. New members on the board are Mel Brandt, Sue Wedel, Shirley Dalles and William Goodrich.

Mike McNamee was elected chairman. Other officers include Shirley Dalles, vicechairman; Keith Burdick, Secretary; and Louie Schilt, treasurer.

Casper Star-Tribune Thursday, Jan. 6, 1972 13 Ten 4-H entries to Denver show cash but may include the value of donated resources such as furniture, arts and crafts supplies, bookkeeping, and volunteer work, except that done by federal employes.

Mayor Don McColley expressed concern that after the federal assistance is finished, the city would be responsible for financing the project and there would be an added tax load. McColley defined federal assistance programs as "a bargain if you (the city) have the money, but not if you don't have the money." Richard Bratton, manager of the Black Hills Power and Light Company Newcastle office and a former mayor of Custer, S.D., told of the Custer senior citizens' center which is now selfsupporting. "If you want to feel good about something you want to see people who were alone come to life with something like this," Bratton commented. It was also noted that the agreement between the senior citizens' group and the city of Newcastle could be written in such a way that the city would not be financially responsible for the center upon the completion of federal assistance which would be after the third year." Ackley added, "We are not asking the city to sponsor our group financially but rather to provide the bookkeeper." The council decided to set a date at which time Mrs. Dorothy Flesher and James Hammer, both aging specialists from the Wyoming -Dept.

of Health and Social Services, can meet with the city fathers. Deaths William Scott Green TORRINGTON Services for William Green, 90, Ft. Laramie, will be at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Community Presbyterian Church in Ft. Laramie.

The parking meter signs those which hadn't been removed by persons -were taken off the poles.

(Buffalo Bill) Cody to be wide enough to enable a twenty-horse team to turn around, has four-lane traffic and angle parking.

Chief of Police Al Vanderpool has said that this type of accident is the most prevelant in that city.

Another suggestion made by the special committee is that the two parking limit be enforced in the downtown area. Looking further ahead, the group also suggested that the city begin to acquire land for off-street parking with an eye toward changing to parallel parking along Sheridan Avenue. the denial of the claim by the state, but wanted to let taxpayers know where part of their money had gone.
