Show Friday, August 4, THE HERALD, Provo, 1 Utah-P- age ounty Again Discusses D rug A buse Rehab Center A move to use the Ahlander Building at the southeast corner of First East and Center Street, Provo, as a dri4 abuse rehabilitation center was again discussed with Utah County Com- missioners this week, but the issue remained unresolved. Meeting with two of the county commissioners on the proposal were representatives of UCCODAR, the Utah County Council on Drug Abuse Rehabilitation, including Vera Woolf, who to to serve as UCCOLAR project direct. UCCODAR currently is awaiting final approval on a $2.2 million dollar, eight-year federally plan to funded combat drug abuse in Utah County. Mr. Woolf told county commissioners the Ahlander Building provides an ideal structure and location for the drug rehabilitation project. County commissioners, however, had planned to demolish the building for additional county operation parking spaces. This has been the plan of county officials since the county purchased the apartment building last He reported the group had the use of a church basement and another building for different periods, but that neither was as suitable as the Ahlander Building. year. Mr. Woolf stated, "There is no other place that we can see or find that comes close to and we've filling our need been looking for a place for He added, "Don't misunderstand me; I'm not against the program. I think it's a good program and I will contribute to it out of my own pocket." Mr. Thorn said he has not been assured that the Ahlander Building is the proper location for the drug abuse rehabilitation program. He said he is not sure the majority of the public wants a group of sitting out front and hanging around the building. Mr. Woolf admitted there is a problem with the image of a drug rehabilitation center and he noted there are some people who have the idea there will be a "bunch cf weirdos running around" the place r. all hours of the day and night. But he emphasized this County Commissioner Paul replied, "We are obligated to provide more parking space, both for the public and oar employees." A. Thorn ... three years." He added that the drug abuse rehabilitation group had approached city officials nbout locating a Provo structure about two years age. The commissioner seid, "There are other places where you can move, but we cnt move this building (the County Building)." A Relic What Ever Became Of the Cuspidor? Gayle Beard all daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Beardaii of Orem is among students participating in a Brigham Young University study tour spending the month in Hawaii attending the LDS Church College of Hawaii. Gayle, a May graduate of Pleasant Grove High School, expects to return in time for registration at Dixie College for Once a necessary item in every barber shop, hotel lobby, and real estate office, the cuspidor is no longer with us How painlessly a once significant social device has passed from the scene. In the state government buildings in Olympia, Wash., some 400 cuspidors were quietly withdrawn from all executive offices during the early weeks of 1964. The absence of these brassy habit symbols drew no interest until mid 1965 when they were sold at auction. Now they moved out of their gucky origin to become collector's items. As such they were snapped up by people who paid more for them than they cost when new. They are a link with a messy past. This proves that a bad habit, even one as universal as tobacco chewing was, can be broken. One must bear in mind that tobacco chewing was not entirely the habit of people. In fact much folk lore grew around the exploits of senators and judges who could land a juicy quid ten paces away and not spatter too much furniture. But these gifted marksmen were outnumbered by the unwho could reduce the value of a carpet sanitary simply by breathing over it. Today their descendants drop cigarette ashes over the fish and broccoli in super markets. One can see why the notion spread that tobacco chewing was unclean. In time the habit became socially unacceptable and the cuspidor fell into disuse. . With this in mind one may ponder the future of the ashtray. If the cigarette habit too becomes socially unacceptable we may anticipate the ashtray joining the snuff box in museums and antique shops. Hang onto your ashtrays when you quit smoking. They may soon .have real value. Those 400 beat up spittoons brought $1,700.00 at the Olympia auction. todays Barnstorm Days Are Back Again The Orem City Council gave permission to Interwest Aviation to land six planes on 100 North, just north of the Orem City Center and City Park. According to Dennis Turville, Interwest representative, all of the pilots will have no less than 1500 hours flying time. They will land the aircraft at 6 ajn., will turn them around and tow them along State Street to the parking lot of the Grand Central shopping center. The landings are scheduled for Thursday. They will leave the next Monday. The only things that might interfere with the would be landings or take-off- s bad weather. - Mr. and Mrs. 0. A.

Launching your outboard from a boat trailer can be a operation challenging especially where there's no launching ramp. The Utah Safety Council, a chapter of the National Safety Council, tells how to do it: If the site is natural or unimproved, pick a sloping spot hard enough to give your tires good traction. Have the car and trailer in a straight line, at a right angle to the water's edge. Back slowly. Remember, when you want the trailer to turn one direction, steer the car in the opposite 2 5 O direction. When you'r; a few feet from the water's edge, removt the rear tieniowns from the boat. Tilt the motor up and unlock the bow winch, but keep the boat snubbed tight. Replace the drain Plug-Resum- e until the enough in the water to launch your craft. Set the hand brake, put the car in parking gear, and turn the ignition off. Give the boat a firm push, controlling its speed with a bow winch. If the boat is to push, a quick stop while backing up will launch it. Check the car brakes if your wheels have gone into the water.

The City Council took a week to determine if the people along the street were in favor of the project. In the regular session Tuesday the council voted to permit the aircraft to land. The reason 100 North was chosen as an ideal spot was because the street is 3,000 feet long. There is roughly 65 to 70 ft. of concrete for the planes to land on. The wingspan of the aircraft run from 30 ft. to 38 ft. Insurance is being carried on the aircraft for the promotional stunt, according to Mr. Turville. ' Woolf again replied "no" when he was asked if UCCODAR has completed any estimates on what the costs would be to renovate and remodel the building to bring it up to the city's building standards for wiring, plumbing, heating and similar items.
