DEC. 20, 1973 Greetings A Very Merry Christmas Ho, ho, ho and a Merry Christmas from all of us at the Sandy Post. This has been a good year for The Post. The newspaper has set new reco rd s in c irc u la tio n and a d vertising. These could not have been possible without the able and dedicated-staff members and without the active tor o Merry Christmas, wherever you may be. With deep appreciation for allowing us to serve you support of the people in the com munity who support The Post each week. The only way we can show our a p p re c ia tio n for this com m unity support is to publish an ever better paper. This we will try hard to do in the months ahead. Again, a very Merry Christmas from all of us a t The Post. A Yearly Event? r j' An event which was added to the Christm as activities in Sandy this year proved to be successful and well done. The Community Choir’s presen tation of Handel’s Messiah was te r med a success and was well attended. According to those who attended the production, this is an event which should become a perm anent part of the C h ristm a s a c tiv itie s in the community. Those who were involved in the production a re to be applauded for a job well done. The council, like the planners, will be listening to the citizens at the public hearing to be held on the proposed plan to see if any changes should be made. The council will decide at its Jan. 7 meeting when to hold the public hearing. If the council adopts the plan, then it along with the land use plan now being developed by citizens in the outlying county area can be combined to give the area good land use con trols. In both cases, it is dependent upon local residents to give input into these plans in order for them to work and to be for the best interest of a majority of the people. the city has taken no options on certain parcels of land included in the civic center area and thus it is not guaranteed the center can be created. We feel it would have possibly been better for the council to first take options on those properties which the city does not now own and then let the people decide on whether the city should spend the funds needed to buy the property to create this center. Mrs. Green's Questionnaire Like most political questionnaires, the one sent out recently by Rep. Edith Green contained few surprises. It indicated, for instance, that people are against amnesty for draft dodgers, they don’t believe the use of m arijuana should be made legal, they believe federal expenditures should be reduced, etc. These all are predictable answers for which one hardly needs a questionnaire. However, there were a couple of unexpected answers. One was the whopping 71 per cent vote against forced busing to achieve ra c ia l balance. The other was the 52 per cent which felt we should “ take no action” one way or another in a renewed Middle E ast conflict. Despite tremendous pressures, the American public never has taken kindly to forced busing. Even the blacks whom busing is supposed to help think it's pretty foolish to ship o f July s p a rkle rs ju st fo r to n ig h tl" TO THE Citizens Need Say on Civic Canter The Sandy city council adopted a resolution stating the city planned to develop a civic center around the city hall and the city park located directly behind the hall. This is called for in the proposed comprehensive plan and is a great idea and needed in this community. But the citizens should have had more of an input into the proposal before the council moved ahead. Also, Chirp: "That's T w e rp . He saved a ll o f his Fourth LETTERS Planning Needed The Sandy Planning Commission m ade the right move in recom mending the proposed city com prehensive plan for adoptipi). 4 Vhe City of Sandy and the outlying area are in need of a comprehensive plan and this one appears to be good and in the best interest of the citizens of the area. The planners did make several changes, and these cam e after much discussion with the citizens at the public hearings held. The plan now goes to the city council for final approval. It is possible for the council to accept the planners recommendation as is, or change the plan. Sparrow : "H ey! W hat's th a t? " youngsters all over town. Respon dents to Rep. G reen’s questionnaire think—by a m argin of over three to one—th a t it should be stopped. Congress did rule out gasoline for forced busing in a recent energy bill. The relative lack of enthusiasm for the Israeli cause is a surprise, especially in view of the Arab oil blockade. Sen. William Fulbright of Arkansas says the strongest, most influential lobby operating today in Washington, D.C., is that supporting the Israelis. “They have” , he said in an interview a m onth or so ago, “ m ost Congressmen in their pocket.” Yet a majority (52 per cent) of Mrs. Green’s constituents feel that we should stay out of further Middle-East involvement. By contrast, only 42 per cent thought we should send equip ment to Israel. * Often the people are way ahead of Congress. These may be a couple of cases in point. EDITOR Dear Editor: The citizens of Sandy are to be coMmended (or their con- c'em för the needs of others During the past week they responded generously to the Seventh-day Adventist World Service Appeal.
