He believes good parks and well managed recreation programs are an essential part of good city planning. The city has purchased other park sites, but have been unable to develop them all at this time: Green Acres Park, near 2100 N. 600 E.; the McGriff Park, below 3100 N. 950 E.; Lomond View Park, north of Elberta Drive at approximately 200 E. These parks and recreation facilities will be developed as soon as funds can be made available. Mr. Orton has a keen interest in the people of North Ogden and the future of our city. He is vitally concerned about the rapid growth and development of the city, and believes good foresight and planning is the key to making our community a beautiful place in which to live and rear our children.

Still another commented: It was like a game just to see if I would get caught ... see what they would do. And yet another remarked, It sort of comes out as a kind of hobby. You do it once and get away with it, so you keep doing it over and over again. Even if you have money you would steal just for the fun of it. What about pressure or offers of money from friends? This is a description of a shoplifting incident by a boy: He (my friend) was looking at the coats when he saw the boxers. He said, Get them for me. I said No. He said, You chicken! I said, Get them yourself. He said, Ill give you a dollar. I said, All right. So I got the boxers. I was walking out the door when they caught me ... Pressure from friends can work in reverse, too. A reported: When I did it my girlfriend was with me. It made me kind of mad that she didnt try and talk me out of it because she had been caught before. She could have at least said, If youre going to do that, then Im going somewhere else. Two of the most commonly cited reasons for shoplifting were intertwined: lack of money and conflict with parents. Many youths said they shoplifted because they didnt have the money to buy the stolen items and their parents wouldnt give it to them. Or they shoplifted to hurt their parents feelings. For example, one said, Maybe one reason I started (shoplifting) is that my parents always expect too much from me. I guess I just had to show them that I wouldnt always be able to live up to what they make me out to be. And now that I got caught, they are constantly saying, You never used to be this, or and Why arent changed, you the way you used to be? I get so sick of hearing that! An wrote, If theres something they (shoplifters) really want and havent got the money for it, they dont want to wait a week for their parents to come and buy it. So they just rip it off. A explained teenage economics this way: Im too young to get a job and my parents only give me so much a week and I use it to go to the baseball game. But, he added, I jump the fence most of the time. To show his respect for his parents, this youth says he never shoplifts at the local grocery store because my Mom works there. A more virulent form of hostility towards parents showed up in the essay of a who was caught stealing a shirt: My Mom and Dad dont like the shirts I she wrote. get anyway, They always say either it doesnt cover anything or it costs too much Everyhme I get a shirt, they dont like it. They just treat me as if I didnt even exist! Perhaps the most serious conflict appeared in this girls report: I did it because of revenge and trust. Revenge on my Dad and wanting him to trust me. He never gives me money. Thats the way he is with selfish everything he owns and ignorant! Ripping off seemed to be the only way to get back at him, because I certainly wasnt going to get pregnant! A summed up the whole situation in a single sentence: I think the reason that I shoplifted is the kids at school talked about it and it sounded easy, so I did it and ended up like this and I will never do it again! parent-tee- n 5SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LIBRARY LOOKOUT Books featured at the Weber County Public Library this week are as follows: Wanna Make Something Out of It? by Carol Duvall.
