Show tad tailing i IS Storm Founds Lelii The night of December 28th. unforgetable memory for many people who were marooned overnight in Lehi. The heavy snowfall erased the and caused records of 1948-- 49 hazardous and impassable road conditions. stretch The from the Point of the Mountain south was closed and travelers were turned back and forced to shelter in service stations . find and cafes. Several Lehi residents took stranded motorists into their homes for the "duration." Others found safety and warmth as the Lehi National Guard Armory opened its doors to hungry and freezing families. Most workers took an extra day off and the holiday lasted a little longer than usual. The old truism "Come rain, hail, sleet or the mail must snow, go through," became a falsehood as the postal service was interrupted and Lehi patrons received their mail a day late. Stores did a landslide business in snow tires, snow shovels, chains, and anti freeze. Snow removal was the big headache as drifts five feet high piled up in driveways and -15 . Hundreds of motorists sought refuge as their cars became stuck, slid off the road, or developed moisture caused mechanical problems. The Highway Patrol and local police helped countless people find warmth and safety as they were forced to leave their autos when the roads were closed for over a twelve hour period of time. Some serious injuries and illnesses were noted by authorities and the inconveniences of bad weather conditions were apparent everywhere. Among those land locked in Lehi was Roger Meyers, former Lehi resident. His big motor home was full of boys who were enroute home from a trip. The Murray wrestling team was turned back at the Point of the Mountain and had to return to Provo for lodging. A new snowstorm moved into the area Wednesday to add more inches to the record breaking snowfall of Thursday, December - only this time "PRETTY AS A PICTURE" it was for real. Snow brought a festive air to Wines Park. law. The city doesn't come to collect for utilities but is owning a dog a service conducted by the City? Obtaining a dog license at the City office is convenient, however, some of us feel there is no merit in a dog license. You ask the question, "Is he 'supposed to work overtime?" Are we assured our dogs will only be picked up between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. excluding the lunch hour? hour? I, also believe garbage cans should be put out without being disturbed, a lawn is an object of pride and quiet nights sleep is also wanted. One question, when a group of kids get together and tip over garbage cans, honk the horns of their cars all night and walk across lawns wearing a path, should we license them? Should we kill them mercilessly? I'm not out after the dog catcher.

Accusing someone of hiding behind their guaranteed anonymity? On September 14, 1972 my brother wrote an article, on this subject, and requested his name be published, however, he was left anonymous to his dismay. JAN. 4. 1973 Concerned Citizen and Dog Lover; In your first letter to the editor some four months ago, you referred to yourself as an animal lover. I, too, like animals, but not to the extent that I want your dog to chase my sheep, kill my chickens, or drive my ducks off their nest and maim or destroy them. The way you write, and the logic of your thinking leads me to believe that you want a dog, but you do not want the responsibility of taking care of it. So your pour out your wrath on the dog ordinance, your fellow citizens, and especially the animal control officer. Under the present law, (and the present law enforcement officer) I have had less damage to livestock and to flowers and shrubs than at any other time. I give the City fathers my thanks for a tougher dog ordiI also thank Mr. nance. And Willes for his efforts. GeneKirkham find it useless. P.S.

List Activities Snow Springs Camp is proud of name, it being the place where the Lehi pioneers first settled. Snow Springs sounds cold, but its members are warm, friendly, fun loving, and a hospitable group who would like more members to come and enjoy the same spirit with them at DUP. We are proud of this organization whose purpose is to preserve history, documents and etc., of our pioneers that we may hear lessons of faith, courage, fortitude and patriotism. The year started with Rhea Vance as Captain, Elva Peterson as vice captain who always do what they are doing well. Histories are an important part of the organization. Nettie Warenski is the County Historian and also our Camp Historian. She has someone read a history of their pioneer ancestors and each month they are very interesting lessons are enjoyed by the group given by Ruth Johnson who has usually visited some of the places that are in the lessons. Light refreshments are served after each meeting by the daughter's assigned, and this is delicious and makes us more sociable. Four books are bought each year from the central company as our quota they are such perfect gifts. "The Carriage House" is being built by the capitol building in Salt Lake City for the Central Company to house their pioneer carriages.

A former dog catcher, Gerald Haskell, quoted us, "$2.00 for every dog corpse and $5.00 town shopping! for every dog captured and I resolve to thank the City claimed by the owner." One 29, 1972. '' t Kht PRESS, THURSDAY. , It's New Year's Resolution Time. Usually I dislike being restricted to resolutions, but here's one that I'm sincerely going to make and actually try to keep. Instead of being critical of our public servants, I for one, shall praise them for the work they do in our behalf. Now would be a good time to say thanks to a city street crew who are working day and into the wee hours of the night to keep our city streets passable. The job of snow removal of the Big Blizzard of '72 was mammoth. They cleaned main street so you can get through comfortably, besides cleaning other essential areas. Mountains of snow were hauled away so citizens could travel in comparative ease. Thanks fellows! I'd also like to thank a certain Santa Claus who, each year, delights Lehi children by taking them on his lap and listening while they whisper their "lists." I know one little girl who wouldn't tell anyone but Santa! And that caused problems. Santa, however, held a secret meeting with her anxious parents. He inspires great confidence, our Lehi Santa, and I thank you, sir! Also thanks to his helpers who helped sack 1000 bags of goodies for Lehi children. We sometimes, somehowvforget to say thanks to these generous people for the time and efforts spent to make our children happy. The Chamber of Commerce deserves a pat on the back for sponsoring Lehi's Christmas Gift 0 Rama. It adds a special note of pride and satisfaction in home- 1972 will be un streets. MAIN STREET tie.
