Is the city doing a good job clearing the streets of snow? Candy Head No, they're not. Parking here is a disaster. The snow on the shoulders of the narrower roads in town needs to be cleared better. Kerry McLaughlin You bet. I don't have a car but the streets and sidewalks have proved clear enough to walk on. Yeah, Bob! Vivian Fedre The city is doing a good job clearing Main and Park Avenue. However, I think they could do a better job on the back residential streets. Brad Wilson I think the city is doing a great job, a lot better than some cities in California where I've lived. Liz Eiiiksson Sometimes but not always. I think they could do a better job in Park Meadows and on Woodside and Daly. Missy Heffron The main streets are cleared well but you need a heavy dose of mink oil to preserve your boots on the smaller streets, like Woodside. Kerry McLaughlin fftllSfi Brad Wilson Missv Hellion Singer's Brother Talks With Gov. Continued From Page 1 Larry Lunnen, director of the Utah Public Safety Department. It was officers of-ficers from Lunnen's department that attempted to arrest Singer in October. Harald Singer, a ten-year resident of Logan and a certified public accountant, ac-countant, reportedly told the governor it was not his intent to mediate between bet-ween his brother and the government. Instead, he said, he wanted to appraise ap-praise the governor of the seriousness of the situation, and to ask that he not do anything that could lead to bloodshed. blood-shed. Singer said the governor did not indicate any Mure-eoUF-sy ol-abtiofr in--the case. "He said to me that he was keeping a close watch on the case, but whether he was sympathetic or not, I could not tell," Singer said. Although Singer sends his own children to public schools in Logan, he said he supports the principles of his brother and feels the matter has been blown out of proportion. "The state wants to interfere in the religious pursuits of its citizens. ..it has no business there," Singer com mented, adding, 'There are many-other many-other people in the state that don't send their children to public schools, why not go after those people? " Vickie Singer said Monday that she and her husband were not aware that Harald was going to see the governor until after the appointment was made. "He did that all on his own," Mrs. Singer said. "He didn't go to attempt to compromise with the governor, but to bring more understanding to him about John's i Character and his , reasons for wharfie is doing & u, lir, ' u Mrs. Singer said life on their Marion farm is currently; "more normal than it's been." The Singers fight for the separation of church and state was further complicated when they revealed in October that John had taken a second wife, Shirley Black, in July. Singer has been ordered by the courts to return Mrs. Black's three children to her divorced husband of 32 years, . citing the "polygamist relationship" as a poor environment for the upbringing of children. Mrs. Black and her children are living on the Singer farm in a house John built. The High Uintah Academy now serves as the school for their combined ten children, with Shirley teaching the three R's to the youngest four, and Vickie and John instructing the six older children. Vickie is teaching math, English and writing skills, while John is leaching German, geography and the Book of Mormon. "We have heard through the grapevine that their father (Black) was threatening to take them off the ilJarm byliThanksgiying and ; now "Christmas,''1' Mrs. Singer said, adding that since the last arrest attempt the family is on the alert for intruders. "Around the time of that attempt we noticed a lot of strange cars that drove up and down here, as if they were policing the house," Mrs. Singer commented. "And maybe it's not significant, but our telephone was acting ac-ting strangely then, too. But lately we haven't noticed anything unusual. That doesn't mean we don't think they aren't planning anything and have put our guard down." Police Band Together The Park City and Summit County law enforcement agencies have recently banded band-ed together in a new program that hopefully will reduce and solve felonies throughout the area. The idea of exchanging vital information between the two police departments was introduced by Summmit County Sheriff Ron Robinson. Robin-son. "Park City's burglars are my burglars, too," Robinson said Tuesday. "A working burglar in Park City is working the county, too. And I thought that forming a task force where each agency ex changed inlonnaUon would help. It's already proven out." By exchanging information infor-mation over the past two weeks, Robinson said the two agencies were able to solve a $3,000-to-$4,000 burglary. According to the sheriff, the recently purchased pur-chased home of J.C. Brown in Summit Park as recently furnished but was unoccup-pied. unoccup-pied. On Monday night, "a real good break came in just right," and 27-year-old Lyle Ball was arrested for burglary. All the stolen items, except for one jacket, were accounted for, Robinson Robin-son said. Ball, who's most recent address was in Kamas, is being held for $2,500 bail in the Coalville County Jail. He was arraigned Tuesday morning and charged with possession of stolen property, proper-ty, although Robinson said more charges are being contemplated con-templated in connection with other incidences in the area. Representatives on the newly created task force are Park City Detective Rob Berry and Summit County Deputy Sheriff Fred Eley. Each will pass on important information to the other concerning con-cerning cases they are working on in their areas. "The cities in the area are o IM AT CAR ADP TH6 FAT CU? COP AMP SAYS, TO CRACK OFF W, STRT all in the same fix," Robinson Robin-son said. "We can do a better job if we help each other out and it cuts costs for everyone. In the past, the two departments haven't gotten real close. I meet with my men every Friday, and if Detective Berry was included, in-cluded, too, we could exchange ex-change information we've gathered during the week. We've got real high hopes for this program." Park City Police Chief Mike Crowley commended the idea, saying "It's a very exciting and positive program. It shows a coming together again of all the cities in the area." aopi : SAVS, 7HAOfrS. msrvo I 0106 r b Lerrers or Thanks From KAC Editor: The Kimball Art Center last week held . two consecutive con-secutive fund-raising dinners din-ners as part of the continuing Development Drive.

Sincerely, Joan Hadley Christmas Safety Editor: As State Safety Chairman for the Utah Federation of Women's Clubs, I would like to share the following Safety Tips from the Utah Safety Council. Eleanor G. Bennett Merry Christmas With Safety Trees A fresh tree will stay green longer and be less of a fire hazard than a dry tree. To check for freshness, remember: A fresh tree is green. Needles are hard to pull from branches. When bent between your fingers, fresh needles do not break. . The trunk butt of a fresh tree is sticky with resin. " vi - When the trunk of a tree is Trounced'' on "the 'ground' a shower of falling needles shows that the tree is too dry. Do not rely on only chemical coatings or sprays to flame-proof your tree. : Place tree carefully, away from fireplaces, radiators, other heat sources. See that it is out of the way of traffic and doesn't block doorways. Cut off about 2 inches of the trunk. Mount tree in a sturdy, water-holding stand with wde-spread legs. Fasten large trees to walls or ceiling with thin guy wires. They'll be nearly invisible. Fill base holder with water. Keep it full of water while tree is indoors (as you would fresh flowers). Remember, heated rooms dry trees out rapidly, creating fire hazards. "Snow" Artificial snow sprays can irritate lungs if inhaled. To avoid injury, read container labels; follow directions carefully. Lights Indoors or outside, out-side, use only lights that have been tested for safety. Identify these by the "UL" label from Underwriters' Laboratories. Check each set of lights, new or old, for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, loose connections. connect-ions.

Fasten outdoor lights securely to trees, house walls, or other firm support, to protect from wind damage. Use no more than three sets of lights per single extension ex-tension cord. Turn off all lights on trees and other decorations when you go to bed or leave the house. Lights could short and start a fire. Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. Although safe when used according to manufacturers' directions, metallic drees can become charged ; with j elejCfrjcity; from faulty lights? then any person touching a branch could be electrocuted! To avoid this danger, use colored spotlights above or beside a trete, never fastened onto it! Keep "bubbling" lights away from children. Such lights are hazardous because their bright colors and bubbling bub-bling movement can tempt curious children to break candle-shaped glass, which can cut, and attempt to drink liquid, which contains a hazardous chemical. Cand les Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. Always use nonflammable non-flammable holders. Keep away from other decorations, wrapping paper. . Place candles where they cannot be knocked down. Trimmings Use only non-combustible non-combustible or flame-retardant flame-retardant materials. Wear gloves while decorating with spun glass "angel hair." It can irritate the eyes or skin. A frequently frequent-ly used substitute is nonflammable non-flammable cotton. When used alone, either is flameproof. flame-proof. However, if nonflammable non-flammable artificial snow is sprayed onto them, the dried combination will burn rapidly.
