A group of residents of ths Eighth East, First North area attended the meeting: and asked for an increased culinary water supply. Since the area is currently current-ly served by a 10-lnoh line, a study of the problem will b-made b-made by Councilman Clifford Hales and Harold Smith. A group of local Boy Staters met with the Council and requested reques-ted that a room in the city hall be made available to them one night each week. Their request was granted. Mr. and Mrs. Owen Bingham requested that the city water department de-partment take steps to prevent the present waste of water from Wald Springs.

According to the activity report, re-port, (to be Issued each four months), Timpanogos District had 28 per cent of its registered cub scouts, boy scouts, and explorers advancing. Next highest was Alpine Al-pine with 27 per cent and Santa-quin-Tintic with 22 per cent.

For the past 54 years, a black line has skirted the southern edge of "Little Mountain," where the terrain makes the plunge into Battle Creek Canyon. It was the steel pipe line that for half a century carried the water from the springs above to the electric power plant below. The building housing the Pelton wheel and generator was abandoned aband-oned some time ago. During recent days, the Walker Welding and Construction Company Com-pany removed the salvaged pipe, leaving only a dusty trail where the pipe had been. Reports are to the effect that owners of the installation, the Utah Power and Light Co., gave the pipe to the Pleasant Grove Irrigation . Company, .if they would remove the same. WAV the valuable pipe was not given to Pleasant Grove City is not fully understood by this writ-, er. Certainly the city and the people peo-ple who live here have "bought it" time and time again with the dollars dol-lars they have paid for electric service. But that's another story. I well remember when the pipe line was installed. Bob Fairbanks, the construction engineer in charge, invented a narrow guage tram on which the heavy lengths of pipe were hauled up the mountain moun-tain side. The motive power was a stationary steam engine located below. Drums, cables, clutches, and brakes completed the hoisting hoist-ing equipment Operating the steam engine was the late Harry Wadley, the father ;p" JDAi ILL LKLLK . , yts&sf ,v JgiMi HwryWMUej ation.

To me, a lad of about 17, Harry was about the most important man in the entire construction con-struction crew. There were no trucks, tractors, or bulldozers back in 1906 and 07. Teams, wagons, plows, scrapers, scrap-ers, picks, shovels, and blasting powder were the earth-moving equipment. Wages too, were a far cry from those of these days. . A man and team drew down $2.50 for a ten hour day and laborers received half of this amount , Some, qf the first "hard money" I .ever V received was earned by hauling brick for the plant from my brother Frank's yard in Lin-don. Lin-don. It was back-breaking Work for the silver dollar he gave me each day. The last time I saw the engine and tram in action was some time - after the plant was completed and in operation. Bob Fairbanks and . his Mother Doug1, the noted motion mot-ion picture star, came over from the Telluride Plant in Provo Can- yon for a tour of inspection. Notified in advance, Harry was on duty with steam up and his hand on the throttle, "Everything is ready, six," he said, . Bob and Doug seated themselves themsel-ves on the little car and Bob touahed a rod to a charged wire strung: along side 'of the track. A bell in the engine" house clanged clang-ed twice. Harry opened the throttle throt-tle and and the car with the famous fam-ous human cargo moved up the face of the- mountain.

Williams, a dynamic and fluent speaker, thrlllod the aiHlience assembled at Utah State Training- School amphitheatre last Sunday evening. Dr. Williams was the guest speaker at the patriotic program, sponsored by the Timpanogos Timp-anogos Stake Presidency. His address was unique and in-testing in-testing due to the fact that he pmbed the simple and fundamental fundamen-tal aspects of Americanism by means of true stories and personal person-al experiences. He pained a word picture of how America looked to a Hungarian Hun-garian emmlgrant girl, a group of foreign exchange students and a young Russian refugee and his wife. Olga. "The rights and liberties liber-ties we take for granted were nothing short of parattise to these young people," he said. The speaker added three additional ad-ditional privileges to the Bin of Rights' as follows: The right to feel insecure, the right to contemplate con-template thoughts that we do not like and the right to lose or preserve our freedoms. In his program for combatting Communism, Dr. Williams outlinl ed four activities: 1 Stand firm In the rights guaranteed by the constitution. 2 Be ever on the alert for acts of subversion. 3 Rely upon the F.B.I, and the courts to handle cases of subversion. subver-sion. 4 Make America a "shining light before all peoples." Another feature on the program was a flag ceremony conducted by Lela R. Banks, assisted by 1961 Girls Staters Pauline Farr, Pamela Patch and Ann Pack and Larry Hanks, bugler.

Stewart Durrant executive secretary of the American Fork Chamber of Commerce was guest speaker. Mr. Durrant called attention to the advantage to be gained by mutual cooperation, through better bet-ter public relations. "Nothing is to be gained by spite and jealousy,' jeal-ousy,' he declared. He called attention to the advantages ad-vantages to be gained by a better bet-ter and more complete advertising advertis-ing program. "Advertising: is the life blood of economic progress," he" added. Marion Oveson, chairman of the local C of C Better Business committee, said that last Thursday's Thurs-day's meeting was the first of a series to be held relative to the cooperative effort.
