Foote, budget director and special assistant to the mayor, said one of the major phases of the investigation would be to determine all property and equipment purchased by the CD office since May of I960. Mr. Foote said that Mr. Smith is in California for an operation and that preliminary Investigation failed to show whether oc not the office keeps an up-todate inventory or file of equipment purchased.

The Haights Creek Irrigation Co. in Davis County has received approval for $126,000 loan to expand lte services to water users. The company recently celved a $214,000 loan which with the new lout brings the total to $340,000. Approval of the loan was announced Friday by Secretary of the Interior Stewart L.

Udall, according to Rep. David S. King (R-Utah). The money will be used for construction of an Irrigation system of a -larger capacity, enabling the com pany to more fully meet the present and future needs of the area. Rep.

King said. STnVE HALE, ihLL. the end. Hearing a whirring noise behind him, the lad realized that television cameras were recording his action and fled. Okay, President Kennedy, now we know why you never seen to get angry, despite all your tensions.

After talking with Sumner School Principal Edward O. Salisbury, Em convinced its because of that rocking chair ia the White House office. Mr. Salisbury became principal 'of Grant School several years ago, and the parents whose youngsters had problems would get upset when they came to his office to consult. The school had some old furniture and one day an ancient rocking chair got moved into Mr.

Salisbury's office. In the place where Irate parents sat As the upset parents rocked, their tensions departed and reason and and like that prevailed. When Miss Lucy Rigby, Immigration Service attorney, called the roll at Thurs-- day's naturalization ceremonies In the City-County Building, all 180 candidates for citizenship smiled. Miss Rigby, that amazing lady, read all the names without making single' mistake. Which is quite an accomplishment When you consider that some of those names had foreign inflections arid many, many 'syllables, I mean.

-Well, then. The naturalization process also includes a change of name for any new citizen who wishes to Americanize his monicker. 1 Of Thursdays 180 new citizens, 35 took names. 1 Mrs. Ruth Standing, the clerk, finishes her paperwork on the naturalization process after the' ceremonies.

Which means SHE holds a roll call, too. i lia sh'e will to pronounce the names correctly, she doesnt do as well as Miss Rigby. Because a new American will correct her with: Which should give us some insight into one of -the great international problems of the day. Many world leaders have suggested that Russian boss Nikita Khrushchev is not a madman, and because of that he isnt likely to start pushing the wgyig buttons and that sort of thing. With Mr.

Salisbury's Information in mind, its my personal hope that doesnt go off his rocker. 1 I eiv6awUw6issai .5 "Sorry, lady, you got it wrong. Its not Kopiellewicz. Thats pronounced J-O-N-E-S. Jones.
