The Utah firm said their design will result in a cost of about $26 per square foot, compared to per square foot for the other firms, school district special projects chief Herman Boner said.

The firm plans to have construction bids in four or five weeks, with a completion date of mid-August scheduled, he said. The decision was delayed first because of objections to the initial choice of Gorder-South, whose proposed fee was higher than another firm's, and second to allow more time to examine more fully the Salt Lake City firm's proposal. In final action on another delayed decision, board member Jane Reed was appointed to the transportation committee, while Dennis Doherty was named as chairman of the budget committee, with Bill Shutts, Gary Deveraux and Thad Walker as members. In other business, checks Into lowering the total cost of a planned pool and locker rooms at Kelly Walsh High School were ordered by the board. The total of low bids for the project came' to $926,919, "considerably beyond the most recent estimate of $828,332," Boner said.

However, he added that the bid total was "a good buy on the present market." The board neither accepted nor rejected the bids, but asked that such cost-saving measures as using a metal rather than concrete roof be looked into. i ii I 1 1 JeL. au 1 1 I I mf IJ I A ff I I I 6 1 Iff It 1 1 rZl MTI "'I 1 I 'DM 1 II I hJ fi I 1 llff I Ml wJr fJ w. a ii, Ii 'Iff A Hlr''" ST SiT jj II VSP 1 lS i 5 ffff 1 Iff AJr 1 win; II nf "11 I--' I a I ff As" I "I L(J 'I 'W 1 MW 'j, L.

Seven months ago we sold all my mother andf father-in-law had, and brought them to Casper from St. Louis because we thought things could be better here. The nursing home for my father-in-law, a semi-private room with total nursing care including everything except medication was $22 a day. This has been raised to $24 a day and now we are told $10 more a month has to be added for laundry. The office won't listen when you try to talk about these things.

They 're Just doing as the head of fice tells them. Well, who hears usl want to be heard. The care has gone down. The food: guk! And the cleanliness is not. My mother-in-law is lying, stripped of everything she has, including her dignity.

With prices up, $750 a month, and "total nursing care" down where does one turn for help? -MRS. RALPH CANNON Red Butte Village Casper EDITOR'S NOTE: Ester Mayberry, administrator for Paradise House Health Care said "inflationary costs'' necessitated the price rise. She said a laundry charge at one tune was dropped until directors decided that It wouldave to be reinstated but the charge effects only new patients, not the residents In the center at this time. Commenting on conditions at the health care center, she said any problems with cleanliness the center had are being worked out. For example, new curtains are being hung throughout the building.

In addition, she said, "the food is good and I see no problem there." jjjjv mi Grain as leverage EDITOR: Use "our grain" as leverage to retaillate against USSR for Intervention in Angola! Whose grain? Grain is not public property. Are farmers supposed to produce grain while others decide how much of it is to be sold, to whom and at what price? What a clamor there would be from our auto manufacturers and our steel companies if we encouraged the government to use "our autos" or "our steel" as bargaining weapons against other countries. C6rhe now, We farmers will produce grain but we must be fairly compensated for our efforts. FULTON HESTER Past President Wyoming Wheat Growers Lusk i Funds held up EDITOR: Governor Ed Herschler and others persist with the threat that Wyoming stands to lose upwards of $40 million if the 55 m.p.h. speed limit is not strengthened.

Yet, since this cry first went up, all news items regarding the possible actual receipt of federal funds have indicated those funds were being held up that they haven't been received, etc. Surely this must be the case because the Highway Dept. is now demanding increases in gasoline taxes and registration fees. "The money is needed to maintain present roads for new construction," they say. The impression is that unless the additional monies are received, there'll be no funds with which to maintain or build.

These are little more than hawkings for more, more, more. The state already has allocations of many millions for new construction and maintenance. My questions are: ilwhat is the amount of money which is already allocated (from present tax rates) for highway maintenance and construction? 2. What is the actual amount of federal highway funds received since March 1, 1974 the date of the imposition of the 55 m.p.h. With the actual death count ud for both Years of the imposition is one of great reasons for Dining In.

htz 'mo Introducing uining in. 7 new main dishes plus one old favorite. with the death rate per vehicular mileage-standing in Wyoming) at six per 100 million vehicle miles (compared with 4.5, the national average in 1972) the people have a right to have some accurate answers to these questions-especially in light of the higher price paid with human lives and now the possible higher financial cost at ajime when the living cannot afford additional burtiens. Land proposal lauded EDITOR: In regards to the city of Casper's proposal to purchase 1100 acres of land for recreational purposes. First, I think the purchase would be an Intelligent move for the" city.

The land is located so close to downtown Casper that even those persons without transportation could use the facilities. Secondly, the 1100 acres ajoins and connects to the North Casper Park near Melrose street in North Casper. The access is perfect for public use, being located adjacent to Interstate 25 and Rancho Road Interchange. The land is a sandy loam soli and is difficult to handle if you have not had previous experience in handling this type of soil. After, some 25 years of experience in handling this type of soil, I find if the soil is handled properly during leveling, construction, etcTthat preventing the movement of sandy soil by the wind is very inex-penslve.

Plus the fact a lot of the land lies adjacent to the North Platte River and is only 10 feet down to all of the water that the city would need to irrigate rgolf course, baseball fields, grass or shurbs of any kind. Proof of this is to look around my present office in Wyoming Industrial Park and see the trees, shrubs, and flowers that are growing in exactly the same type of soil. I think the location of the land for the people who cannot afford to use Casper Mountain, Alcova, Pathfinder, etc. is one of the prime considerations that should be a determing factor In the city making a judgement to acquire this tract of land for recreational purposes. It might be well for the city and county to Jointly purchase the land.

H.O. (Tex) English P.O.BoxMffl Casper Morton has been making America's favorite frozeri macaroni cheese for a long time. So we're not about to stop making it for you. All we've stopped "making is the Morton macaroni cheese package that you're used to. That's because now bur macarpni cheese is part of our new Dining In line, along with 7 other delicious reasons to eat at home beef stew, chili, macaroni beef, spaghetti meat, chicken dumplings, lasagna, and meat ravioli.

So even though you won't recognize our macaroni cheese from the outside, you can be sure you'll still recognize it from the inside. siili MwtKi Moo,) JmZL 11 iSrP SOT llue) WlM DOYLE HENRY AlcovaRt Casper 'EDITOR'S NOTE: Keith Rounds, public Information officer for the' Highway Dept. pointed out that federal monies can't be used for state construction projects. Thanks to some funds that were withheld for a time and recently released by the President, he said, Wyoming was able to benefit with a larger than normal federal allocation for highway funds due to the fact that the state had several projects already in the making. Consequently the federal allocations to the state were some 300 per cent higher than normal.

Wyoming tas a highway maintenance budget of some $17.1 million for the current fiscal year, and a construction budget of $75 million, $46 million of that from state revenue sources. The state has received some $122 million in federal funds since the Imposition of the 55 m.p.h. speed limit. Natives gel to work EDITOR: The "Old Grouch" is the first thing I read in your paper every day. He has a dry sense of humor and can get to the point with a minimum of words.

In today's (Saturday) er' iion, I wonder how many Wyomingites got the same message I did How many of us "natives" are locking our doors and building high fences in answer to the impact problem? "It" is coming whether we want it or not. "It" is coming in spite of the natives' efforts to keep Wyoming the way we've always known It and loved it. So let's quit hiding our heads in the sand in hopes "It" will go away. Let's get knowledgeable about the minerals, the coal deposits, the slurry line, the gasification plants, and all the other impacts. If we don't get interested and constructively so, the natives of -Wyoming will be as the buffalo extinct with a few cultivated species for a novelty.

Z.Z.Tomas Sundance We've made Dining In taste like dining out." Not all Catholics EDITOR: To the Individual who quoted, "the only good is knowledge, the only evil is ignorance" (Star-Tribune letters to the editor, Jan. 24), let this individual take his own advise. First, those backing Dr. Mildred Jefferson are not Just Catholic, they are concerned citizens from all walks of life. Second, what is against our Constitution when we cry out for the lives of all the unborn children who can not be heard because their lives have been snuffed out before they are given a chance to cry.

I am a member of the Right to Life group in Glenrock and a campaigner for Dr. Mildred Jefferson's visit. And let it be known I am an American Baptist and many of our group's members are non-Catholic, as it can be proven in any Right to Life group. One of the most precious gifts there is in the Catholic faith is the human life itself. Why, in our country do we have groups for the preservation of wildlife but we can mass murder innocent babies and that becomes Justified? JULIE CHOSOIG GLENROCK.
