Vi1;umSixty-eig- ht THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1960 Price 10c Number 38 Souvenir When Dell Mortensen of this city displayed a brand new ox-sh- to Frank Clark this week, it brought back memories and a coincidence which reads like a story. While Frank was working with a surveying crew in 1916, in the isolated area above Glen Canyon known as Warm Creek, they came upon a full keg of new As the keg weighed some 150 pounds, they took a shoe or two for souvenirs, closed the keg and speculat-ed on how long it had been there, and who had left it, as there had been no demand for es for many years before that time. ; It seemed that Mr. Mor-tensen and other workmen in the area of Glen Canyon, came upon the same keg, a week or so ago. They open-- I ed it and having more mod-ern means of transportation than did the screw of 1916, brought the whole keg in for KnnvAnir. To prove to Mr. Mortensen that he had shoes from the same keg, Mr. Clark took him over to the old Clark home on East, Eighth South and removed two es from over a door like the one Mr. Mortensen had, and which had been brought here by Mr. Clark from the same old keg, 44 years ago.

City approves plans for Steelmark Days - The Springville city council voted to go all out for the big Steelmark celebration next weekend, at their Monday evening meeting. They agreed to give permis-- j sion to sponsoring merchants to hold sidewalk bazaars, dem-onstrating their merchandise and selling it in specially ar-ranged exhibits during the three days, Sept. 29, 30 and Oct. 1. They also voted to contri-bute $75 toward the making of a float by the city for the Steelmark parade. In other action, Howard Maycock was appointed a mem-ber of the Veterans Memorial Board, succeeding Ernest A. Strong, whose term expired. At the solicitation of the National Guard, the city coun-cil voted to donate $100 to the Guard to help defray expenses of community projects sponsor-ed by the Guard. The council also approved the purchase of the Lola Quinn and Gay White property on 6th East 10th South, for the drilling 6f another well to se-cure additional culinary water. The purchase price was $2,200 and the city assumed cost of the sidewalk assessment. Police advise on various issues The Springville police de-partment has initiated a sys-tem of registering all guns owned by townspeople. The re- - gistration is not compulsory but Chief Ashley Graham points out that it is a safety measure, in case the gun is lost ot stolen and that such registration would possibly identify ownership. With the deer season ap-proaching, a number of tote-goa- ts have made their appear-ance and some without licenses, it was stated this week. The police department points out that licenses are required for these motorized vehicles the same as for cars and that an individual operating them must also have a driver's license. They state citations will have to be issued for anyone found disregarding the law. New phone system The police department office is now equipped with two phone lines as a special service and for the convenience of towns- - people. The phone service is always available to the public. Should there be no one in the office when the phone rings, someone of the highway patrol will answer it and relay the call to the city police. Police officers ask individuals who call the police station not to hang up when the highway patrol answers. The call will be dispatched by contact radio to the city police. Dogs Townspeople who have un-wanted dogs are asked to call the police and they will call and pick them up and take them to the dog pound. Tulaplefon approves fire fruck, lifts wafer restrictions the fire station at 6:30 a.m. for the nature study trip. There will be no horses allow-ed.

The recreation department expects to make the hike an annual affair and hopes that it will some day become as popular as the Timp hike. At the regular meeting of the Mapleton City Council Monday evening at the City offices in the Memorial Building, it was decided to lift the water restrictions for the present time. ' During the summer, citizens were allowed to use the water two hours only each day and were also given specified time at which the hose could be turned on. The city officials also ap-proved the purchase of a new fire truck for the city to cost approximately $13,000. It is to be ordered immediately. In charge of the meeting was Mayor Welby Warren. Mapleton city recreation de-partment is sponsoring the first annual autumn hike on picturesque Mapleton Moun-tain and invites everyone to join on Saturday.

Confused Snowballs in the winter is not news. Neither is it news to see a snowball bush cov-ered with blooms in the spring, but when a snowball bush sends forth several beautiful blossoms in the fall, that is something to write .about. Mrs. Arvilla Gardner, 280 North, Second East St., has just such a bush at her home, with seven or eight beautiful white flowers called snow-balls. It is its second crop in about five months for this most prolific perennial.

The junior department of the library will be open daily from 3 until 6 p.m. City seeks answer fo perplexing problem Would Springville civic clubs be interested in taking over the front of the Memorial Hall? This was a question asked at the City Council meeting Monday evening, after the LDS church which had used and maintained the building for the past three years, turned it back to the city. Since construction of the new stake house, the church has no more need for the building as a recrea-tion center. The veteran's organiza-tions have used memorial funds to remodel the back part of the build-ing and they maintain it as a meet-ing place. However the front por-tion is empty and the city is trying to decide just what to do with it. . Some suggestions have been made concerning converting it into city offices. Councilman Frank Memory said this week the council had in-vestigated this proposition and it would cost in the neighborhood of $50,000 and the building would still be an old one on a rock foundation. The mayor and city councilmen would appreciate any suggestions from civic clubs or individual citi-zens concerning the best use to which the Memorial building could be put.
