Two weeks ago, Mrs. Fullmer picketed at Logan supermarkets along with other housewives and collected 180 signatures of shoppers pledging to boycott sugar and to support efforts to drive down the profits of the major sugar producers. Mrs.

Fullmer said she believes sugar prices have jumped 400 per cent during the past year because the "whole market is controlled by two or three huge companies."

And a woman from Newton, Utah, who is organizing efforts to boycott sugar in Cache County, says she will lead picketers Saturday at the entrances to several large Logan supermarkets. A spokesman for Macey's Farmers Market in Logan said sales are down about 33 per cent.

A spokesman for Albertson's Food Center in Logan said sales are down about 60 per cent Bill Llewelyn, manager of a Dan's Foods Store in Salt Lake County's Cottonwood Heights area, said about the boycott: "It hasn't bothered us a bit." He said he doubts a boycott by consumers will have any effect on the industry since ordinary citizens use a relatively small percentage of the sugar produced, compared with soft drink manufacturers and other food producers'. Allen Bennett, manager of a K-Mart Foods store in Salt Lake City, said, sugar sales are "holding their own." Jake Harmon, chairman of the board of Harmon's markets in the Salt Lake area, said sugar sales are about the same as before the boycott don't care about the age as long as they're hungry.

No slg- nature is necessary. Send your question to "The Enquirer," Box 190, South Idaho Press, Burley, Idaho 83318. WANTS ACTION Q. What does one do to get some cooperation in this town? So far, I have contacted the Burley Police Department t-wice once on the phone and once in writing. I have also talked personally with both Mayor Chuck Shadduck and City Attorney Bill Parsons and still have not received any help.

There are many concerned citizens with small children in the area of East 18th St in Burley, who are worried that a serious or fatal accident may happen to some small child because of the illegal parking of two 10-wheel commercial trucks (not to mention Several other vehicles) on the street in a residential area. If none of the above can help correct this problem, who do we tax-paying citizens contact for this particular kind of help? Does it take a serious accident before any action is taken? A Concerned Mother A. City Clerk Bud Brinegar was aware of the situation when approached with your question. He noted he has personally toured the area but has been unable to find any commercial trucks parked. He also noted that a police officer is making regular tours through the area looking for illegal parked vehicles of any type and as yet has not found commercial trucks parked in the area.

The City Clerk noted the city would like to help solve the problem but cannot do so without knowing where the trucks are parked at the time they are parked then the city can take prompt action. The city clerk suggested you contact him or the police the next time you witness the illegal parking of a commercial truck. If that doesn'jt work the Enquirer suggests you see your attorney or come to the city council with a petition or come to the city council with a group of citizens. City Clerk Brinegar went farther with the situation in your area by explaining the city has been working on complaints of excessive speeding and has put radar units in the area but has found few cars are exceeding the speed limit. FUNERAL PROCESSIONS Q.

Recently I was driving along Overland Avenue and had the green light at an intersection. When I was about in the middle of the intersection I saw that the car coming on my right was not stopping, and only then did I see that I had interrupted a funeral procession. I barely managed to escape being struck by the oncoming car (which, incidentally did not have its lights on) Isn't there some way that traffic at intersections could be directed by officers during a funeral procession to prevent such occurrances? I should report that there was a police car at the head of the procession, but this gave no protection further down the line. Non-foods are half of the grocery bill NEW YORK (AP) For Mrs. Joyce E.

Arkhurst, the news after her breast cancer surgery last April was good: the lesion was, extremely small and her doctor said he' considered her to be cured. But earlier this month, Mrs. Arkhurst, who lives in New York, was informed that she could not be considered eligible for a job at the United Nations "according to our present medical standards." Mrs. Arkhurst's case was dted by the American Cancer Society in material provided for release today as an example of discrimination by employers against former cancer patients. "The likelihood of being turned down for a new job because of a past history of cancer is very, very large," said Dr.

M. Mullins of the University of Idaho College of Agriculture. Mullins told a service club audience Tuesday that latest figures show consumers spent a whopping $83 billion last year on nonfood which he described as the marketing and middlemen between the farmer and the housewife. The total amounted to 61 per cent of each food dollar, he said. "When you look at what's happening in food merchandising, the consumer is paying less attention to the basic food commodity and more to built-in services," he said.

The potato is available in a wide variety of forms, Including chips, flakes, Sanules, and even mashed in zen dinners, Mullins said. Farmers can continue to "provide miracles" in food production, but only if they can be assured of adequate fuel, machinery and fertilizer all of which involve large amounts of energy, he said. cKenna said.

(AP) Thanksgiving without children just isn't a holiday to Chick and Kenneth Gillen. So, despite an apparent shortage of needy children, they have arranged to share their holiday turkey. "Believe me, I know how lonely holidays can be," said Mrs. Gillen, who, like her husband, was raised in an orphanage. "They drag on and on when you don't have anyone to share the day with.

I used to cry myself to sleep." Several years ago, they got the idea of inviting chldren to spend the holidays with them. But this year, they encountered difficulty after contacting several local childrens' homes. "They told me I needed a letter of reference from my minister before they could give me a couple of kids for' the holiday," said Mrs. Gillen. "That was fine with me.

I called my minister the same day." The minister wrote the note the next day, but the woman at the home told her that arrangements had been made already for all the children, she said. "We never had this problem before," said Mrs. Gillen, whose husband is a career Navy man. "We do it every year wherever we are. We have taken as many as 17 children, and this was the first time it was hard to get any." She told the Florida Times-Union of her trouble, and a story published in the newspaper brought results.

"We've got a couple promised from a Christian home at Jacksonville Beach I didn't know about," Mrs. Gillen said. "They are 15 and 17, but I i 1 I I I saies BURLEY AREA I I QUANTICO, Va.

James A McClure, R-Idaho, said Tuesday the United States should challenge the Soviet Union on evidence of violation of existing arms agreements before signing new agreements. In a Senate speech, McClure repeated his allegations a Week ago of Soviet efforts to block U.S.

He has a $9.2 million budget to train, feed and house more than 1,000 students a' year. Five reporters who regularly cover the Justice Department accepted an FBI invitation to tour the facility Tuesday.

The invitation was part of Director Clarence M. Kelley'-s effort to modify some of the agency's traditional secrecy. The academy is where FBI agents receive 14 weeks and five. days of training immediately after joining the agency. It's where a new class of 250 local police officers comes four times a year for 12 weeks of training paid for entirely by the FBI.
