And the required data is expected to be delivered by April 1.

Dr. Haws said he expects the study team to conduct much of its work on site. They will be here many, many times, SHES TOPS Deanna Valentine accepts traveling trophy as top sales person, presented by Fred Hunsaker, center, project chairman, and Keith Garoutte, merchants committee chairman. Likes People! Merchants Panel Awards Top Sales Person Trophy NASA in Home Stretch On Shuttle Fuel Choice National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA) head James C. Fletcher, in a briefing with Utah Senator Frank E.

Moss, stated that NASA is in the final evaluation process to select between solid and liquid fuel systems for the Space Shuttle program. Dr. Fletcher said final determination will be made on a cost analysis and if the solid fuel booster is found to have lower operating costs, NASA will select that system. Use of a solid fuel propellant in the proposed space shuttle could mean over a billion dollars to Utah firms, particularly the northern Utah firm of Thiokol Chemical corporation which has been in the solid fuel field for a number of years Senator Moss told Dr. Fletcher that he understands that the cost of developing a shuttle system with a solid propellant booster will cost approximately $700 million less than the liquid and the operating costs will be significantly lower also.

finalists whom we felt were really top-notch people and highly qualified, the chairman explained. Its hoped that recognizing these people will encourage others to offer good customer service, Hunsaker said. Mrs. Valentine has operated the gift and import shop for the past two-and-a-half years and has found that she likes to communicate with customers. "Everyone is interesting and Ive learned a lot about and enjoyed people, she said, smiling.

"Im just extremely honored and I want to thank the merchants committee for this honor, sjje added. I like to make the customer feel comfortable and so I greet them that way. This explains the philosophy of Deanna Valentine, owner and manager of the Nut Shell, 82 South Main, who Thursday was named to receive the Brigham City Merchants committee traveling trophy for outstanding sales personnel. Project Chairman Fred Hunsaker, assistant vice president at First Security bank, said the trophy will be presented quarterly this year to recognize local sales people "who are doing an outstanding job in customer relations. Mrs.

Valentine was selected by the committee from among four I I'm sure," he stated. The resulting conclusions will not be binding on the local school board nor is there any charge for the state departments service. "It is not unusual for the state to render such a service, the superintendent explained. areas were not burned. Firemen kept the blaze mostly confined to the bedroom so that other areas of the house only suffered smoke damage.

The local firefighters had the blaze under control in about 20 minutes but still had to drag burning furniture from the house on to the front lawn. No Injuries No one was injured including Mrs. Wadman who was in the house at the time of the fire. Firemen also carried a pet dog from the burning home and it sat bewildered on the front lawn. It was not harmed.

No cause was given for the fire but investigation continued. Guidelines are in preparation for an in-depth analysis of Box Elder district's secondary school areas and at the outset, at least one thing is certain no changes, if any, will take place prior to the 1973-74 school year. Superintendent J.C. Haws made this disclosure Thursday. He said a study team has been organized at the state education department level, goals have been reduced to written form and a timetable tentatively adopted.

The latter indicates that a final report and recommendation are not due until Nov. 15 of this year, precluding any action to alter boundaries in the 1972-73 school year. Dr. Haws said he wanted to put a stop to rumors that board action already has been taken affecting the attendance areas of Box Elder High and Junior High schools and Bear River High and Junior High schools. Chairman Named Lerue Winget, deputy superintendent, is chairman of the five-man study panel and he has met already with Box Elder district staff members to prepare a prospectus.

Other committee members include Sherman G. Eyre, administrator, administration and auxiliary service; Russell G. Merrell, coordinator, school plant planning; Jed Wasden, coordinator, vocational-technical division, and Ferrin D. Van Wagoner, coordinator, secondary education. v.

Dr. Haws said the team is charged with answering or making recommendations in response to three questions; Should the attendance areas of the Box Elder and Bear River Junior and Senior High schools be changed? What possible results would such a change have upon the operation of the four secondary schools? What, if any, preliminary considerations should be given before boundary line changes are made, if at all? Giving rise to the study was a proposal that secondary students in the communities of Corinne, Honeyville and Bear River City go north to Bear River instead of coming the other way to Box Elder. This seemingly would alleviate in some measure an enrollment imbalance which currently exists between the two high schools. Consider Impact In conducting the study on these three questions, the panel is asked to consider in detail the impact of its decisions on curriculum, adjustment of students, facilities, transportation, enrollment projections, district personnel, potential effect on elementary schools, community implications, and financial effects. Dr.

Haws said the district is expected to provide essential data, including enrollment figures, financial situation, staff positions, bus routes, etc. The study team will take on the job of analysis in the various areas. i Interest High in Jobs 0 I i i a Opinion Clears Fines Issue An attorney generals opinion has apparently cleared the legal air concerning traffic fines collected by justices-of-the-peace in Box Elder county. And Mayor Jay Matthews of Perry where a dispute over the situation emanated, said, I felt it kind of gave what I wanted." The opinion, prepared by David S. Young, chief assistant attorney general, declared that fines and forfeiture collected from persons cited for violation of county or state laws, must got to the county.

However, the county commission has the latitude to share this money with the city or town if it so chooses, the opinion disclosed. And this was the part which Mayor Matthews said was to his liking. I asked if the county couldnt let us keep part of these fines for safety features in Perry, like highway lighting, signs, semaphores (if we can get one) and a crosswalk guard. The municipal leader said he plans to approach the commission "right away to ask "how Perry can get this money returned to us. He mentioned that eight persons lost their lives on U.S.

91 within the communitys corporate limits last year. For more than a year, Perry has banked the fines and forfeitures collected by its city justice, keeping it in trust in a Brigham City bank, pending a determination. Matthews said the money is handled by the town clerk and he had no idea how much had accumulated. Perry has contended that it is entitled to keep some, if not all, of the money and Mayor Matthews said other communities are doing it, citing Tremonton as a specific example. We just want to be treated like other towns and cities, he declared.

Other parts of the attorney generals Opinion revealed that fines collected from persons cited under a city or town ordinance may be retained by the city or town. System, Center templated in the new budget year beginning July 1. In companion action, the council appointed Dean Howarth as shop foreman. Mayor Zundel didnt attempt to conceal his irritation that a council committee had not moved on plans to establish a downtown center for students at Intermountain school. An IS committee proposed using space now occupied by Bonneville Recreation center at 128 South Main when it met with the council a month ago.

At that time, Councilman Rudolph Kaiser was named as chairman with Councilmen A1 Cazier and Byron Armstrong to meet with the students and finalize details. Asked by the mayor why nothing had been done, Kaiser replied that his committee was looking at other sites. He complained that the landlord was asking too much rent for the Bonneville space. Rents Too High I think the rents too high. Hes now charging $330 for the entire building, including the bus station, the councilman stated.

The asking figure for the proposed center portion is $350 a month which Mayor Zundel later termed very reasonable. Councilman Armstrong said no matter what building they talk about, there would be a problem, specifying it as a need for considerable remodeling to provide suitable restroom facilities. He noted, for instance, that restrooms in the Bonneville center are located downstairs and have been a source of trouble to the extent that the operator has locked them. The two councilmen also said they had questions about who would operate the center during summer months and who would be permitted to use it during this period. "I think the students can answer all your questions if youll only set up a meeting with them.

"I was hoping the council would go along with what the young people want and they specifically recommended this site, I spent an afternoon with them going around and looking at sites and this is the one they want. "I've spent a lot of work and time on this and I see no reason why there should be a months delay in setting a meeting and getting something done," Zundel declared. He noted that student leaders had called (Continued on Page Three) Blaze Damages Local Residence City Okays Shop Action Urged on Fire caused more than $2,500 worth of damage to Brigham City residence Friday afternoon, gutting a bedroom and burning part of a living room. Smoke could bee seen billowing from the stucco two-story home of Leta Wadman, 16 West Fourth South, as far as four blocks away. Brigham City volunteer firemen were dispatched to the blaze at 4 p.m.

Eastside Bedroom When they arrived fire had engulfed the entire eastside bedroom and was spreading into the living room. Smoke was also coming out of the windows of rooms upstairs, although these He cited plans to install a hoist in an east section of the shop building so that vehicles can be greased and washed after regular working hours in the evening. This installation plus hiring of a part-time man to handle the evening service are con- Board to Discuss Shorter Day Discussion of possibly shortening the school day for first graders in Box Elder district is scheduled at Wednesdays meeting (March 8) of the board of education in Brigham City. Other matters will include bid results for two new buses, two pickup trucks and a delivery truck, proposed purchase of property and reapportionment. The session is scheduled at 8 p.m.

in the board room, upstairs in the county courthouse. A reproduction of the agenda can be found on Page 2 of todays Box Elder News. Hide, Chief "I made the comment that the suicide case has been investigated by the Box Elder County Sheriff's office and members of the Navajo tribe and the Bureau of Indian Affairs has conducted an investigation, also," he added. The Indian watchdog panel is called Oita Bahnaahaatii association and is said to include former IS students, parents of present students and various Navajo officials. Reportedly, they announced plans to investigate the Brigham City suicide.

Superintendent Jaeger said he had not been contacted by the group and knew nothing of its activities beyond what he had read in the newspapers. Brigham City has begun operating its repair shop much like a commercial garage in a new system which Mayor Ole Zundel said Thursday should bring greater efficiency in the care of city equipment. The new procedure gained official approval of the city council during its regular weekly session. But that wasn't all. The council waded through a heavy agenda that produced a sharp reaction from Mayor Zundel over lack of action on a youth center for Intermountain school students, and a procedure outline for hiring a new city engineer and a full-time recreation director.

Zundel who tackled the shop situation to put it on a more business-like basis, said from now on, a statement of estimated cost and actual billing for labor and parts will be necessary when city vehicles are taken in for repairs. Its a system similar to those employed in commercial garages and will provide a repair and driving record for each vehicle. At the same time, the mayor said that it will be up to each department supervisor to make sure that his equipment is taken in for repair and maintenance. As Indian Group Formed Nothing to Says School We invite any group which wants to come to Intermountain school and observe conditions here to do so. Certainly we have nothing to hide and if anyone has recommendations to improve the school, we welcome this.

Superintendent Jerry Jaeger made this statement in response to a Salt Lake City newspaper story Friday which reported that Navajo Indians have formed a group designed to monitor condition at off-reservation boarding schools. The organization reportedly was formed after an IS student recently hanged himself in the Brigham City jail. "I just got word of it yesterday and all I know is what I've read, Jaeger said. damage. A bedroom was gutted and this furniture spread vt on the front lawn was destroyed.

There were no injuries. Firemen were called at 4 p.m. FIRE DAMAGES HOUSE Smoke billows out of the top room of this stucco house as firefighters try to put out the blaze which caused more than $2,500 I.
