J Voters of American Fork will decide the fale of the proposed Public Facilities Bond Issue at the polls next Tuesday. We urge you to support the five separate proposals. Each has been-planned been-planned to meet the needs of citizens for the present and at least 15 years in the future. American Fork has a history of leadership and community progress in North Utah County, but without the proposed improvements we will fall behind in our neighboring cities. The general obligation bonds proposed total $995,000. We feel each of the five separate proposals is worthy of your support. Let us brieflv review them for your information: 1. Public Safety Building - $340,000; city maintenance shop, $60,000. The new public safety sa-fety building will house fire, police and ambulance ambul-ance equipment and departments, plus related services. This will be built on city property on r ROSANNE BUHLER With the entry of Spring 1973 it raises the question of who will be the new reigning royalty of American Fork for the 73-74 season and who will be the new Miss American Fork. Eleven lovely and talented young women have already made known their desire to vie for the honor this year in the Annual Miss American Fork Pageant to be held Saturday, April 28, at the American Fork High School auditorium.

This year's program promises to be one of the most outstanding gala events ever staged and will feature fea-ture several of the queens of yesteryears, led by Mary Pulley, Pul-ley, the first community Queen who reigned over the local celebration cele-bration in 1928. The first four entrants to be introduced this week include Rosanne Buhler, Pamela Holin-drake, Holin-drake, Bonnie Jean Wanlass and Carlin Coombs. The remainder of the girls will be introduced in the new two issues of the American Ameri-can Fork Citizen. Rosanne Buhlei Rosanne, 17, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Buhler. She plays the guitar and sings and loves to cook. She says her favorite dish is fried chicken and her favorite sport is basketball. basket-ball. Rosanne's answer to what she considers most essential to good health, beauty and intellect read like this: "A girl must eat a balanced diet, get lots of rest and practice good posture. What one has inside herself is important impor-tant along with personality, language, lan-guage, and enthusiasm toward life and its problems. It is good if one smiles and should be alert all the time, be at one's best and keep a clean mind." Pamela Holindrake Pame'a Holindrake, 18, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Veron Holindrake Jr., Her hobbies hob-bies include snow skiing, bicycling, bicy-cling, horseback riding and writing and her favorite sport is skiing. She likes to cook and her favorite dish is spaghetti. In answer to what she feels is most important to good health, beauty and intellect she replied, "True beauty is an equal combination combi-nation of the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of an individual. indi-vidual. Good health radiates in the glowing complexion and MARCH - I V PAMELA HOLINDRAKE sparkling eyes, well disciplined body, and the energy to accomplish accom-plish whatever one wishes. Without Wi-thout health, an individual is totally incapacitated. An inquiring inquir-ing mind that seeks all truth with the desire to use all knowledge know-ledge to benefit mankind creates it own special beauty. Without spirituality there can be no beauty for the knowledge of, "who I am" and "what is my purpose in life" that gives the hidden glow that is true beauty." Bonnie Jean Wanlass Bonnie Jean Wanlass, 17, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Wanlass. Her hobbies she likes best include sewing, cooking and traveling. Favorite sports include gymnastics, swimming and skiing. Bonnie also likes to cook and her favorite favo-rite dish is fried s.h imp. In her answer to the question "What do you consider most essential to good health, beauty and intellect?" Bonnie gave this answer; "I feel that to obtain, these things you must first and foremost be happy and in order to be happy you need the love and support of a family and kind friends. Throughout time there have been women with overwhelming over-whelming beauty. But none of these women have become successful suc-cessful alone. Always there has been a small person in the sidelines. side-lines. I feel that your psychological point of view is very important. If you feel that you are beauty, then you will be. Good health is not obtained quite so readily for this requires the proper diet, sleep and exercise. Intellect also requires many hours of proper mental discipline. All together these three gifts tie in. If you have intellect, you will keep your health in proper shape and if your health is good, you will look good. To have these things is truly a wonderful gift and can be obtained by anyone who will strive for them. Carlin Coombs Carlin Coombs, 18, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D'Monte W. Coombs. Her hobbies hob-bies include sewing, cooking, sports and music. Her favorite sport is tennis. Carlin works in recreation at the Utah Staie Training School along with attending at-tending high school.

We have federal matching funds approved for the full SK5.000. We must either improve existing harbor facilities or close this area to use. This, too, would be a revenue producing measure. 5. Downtown off-street parking - $KO,000. Perhaps this is the least understood of the five proposals. The city presently has options on eight parcels of land in the downtown business district with a view to establishing public parking park-ing for shoppers in the downtown area. This is not the total amount needed for this project. 1 oca I merchants will contribute matching match-ing funds to create needed parking space to provide adequate facilities for shopHrs. Why should the city contribute to this project? Some 25 percent of our present city budget comes from the sales tax collected bv American Fork Approves Appointment ileports at is for downtown off-street parking, par-king, $80,000.

The mini-meetings were scheduled sche-duled in order to inform the public about the $995,000 general Reams Market has recently expanded to "better serve the needs" of their customers and "keep up with the growth of the area." J.R. Jolley, co-owner of the market with his wife, Val Marie, said an additional 12,0u0 square feet have been added to the store, bringing total footage of the building to 34,000 square feet. Mr. Jolley said a new in store bakery has been opened with the expansion, providing customers with fresh baked goods of all kinds each day. Rod Jolley is manager of the new department, which features all types of baked goods, and is equipped with the latest in baking bak-ing equipment. "Our bakery is designed so that t..e customers can actually see the items as they are baking in the oven," J.R. Jolley said.

The Mayor and the City Councilmen will be willing to answer any questions about these proposals. There will be no tax mill increase in-crease required for the self-retiring bonds, as revenue sharing funds anticipated for the next seven years would be utilized for their retirement and sales tax revenue would also be an important factor in the repayment. Arland Sperry appeared before be-fore the council to "keep the lines of communication open" and explained some of the work Rod had recently completed bakery ba-kery school and has learned the latest techniques in the baking field. Also enlarged are the grocery department, produce areas, meet department and drug and dry goods departments. These departments are managed by Richard Greenland, Dee Mabey, Darrold Clark, and Gary Can-ham, Can-ham, respectively. Additional parking space has also been added at the rear of the store for customer convenience, conve-nience, Mr. Jolley said. Mr. Jolley recalled when the store opened in 1953, they were housed in a building consisting of about 1800 square feet. In 1960, he purchased the store from Paul Ream, and in 1964 built the first addition on to the building. Further additions were made in 1965 and again in 1967. t.J i ?-- i 4 w merchants. If this were eliminated or reduced we would be faced with the alternative of an increased mill levy. American Fork citizens are currently enjoying a mill levy some 8 mills lower than Lehi or Pleasant drove, largely through our collection of sales tax revenue by our merchants. If this source of revenue is reduced, due to lack of parking facilities, it would be necessary to transfer the obligation of fund raising to the property owner. We are following the trend of other metropolitan metropoli-tan centers in cooperating with merchants to provide public parking. Shoppers cannot buy if they are unable to find a parking place, making this one of our urgent issues. The citizens of the community will go to the polls on April .1 Study the issues at hand.

He reminded the city council that the next meeting of COG would be April 12 at 7:30 p.m. in American Fork. The agenda was not confirmed, as yet, he said, but one of the items to be discussed would probably be a unified numbering system for the county. He also said he "really hopes the boat harbor bond is successful" as he can see benefits to the whole county in the plan.

He added that the store employs 120, full or part time workers, with two shifts employed during opening hours. A third shift of workers comes in after closing hours to stock the shelves. Mr. Jolley atributed the success suc-cess of the market to the friendliness and positive attitude atti-tude of the store employees, competitive pricing, and selection selec-tion of merchandise. "We try to have what the customer wants when he wants it," he said. "Many of our customers have been coming here since we first opened," he continued, and "-most "-most feel that they are a part of the store. They feel involved with what we do here," he said.
