The PLO is back to more terrorism. Both have expressed dislike for the treaty and have threatened more action because of it. Along wit these facts, Russia is in a very awkward position, their moves are limited. The Soviets are obviously against the treaty. There is little doubt they are sup- mainly because they want to employ their peace policy. This policy is the pivot of Russian peace effort. They are hoping to settle the two countries plying the PLO, Syria, Jordan and other Mideast countries with weapons, but they do so very carefully as nof to agitate the U.S. We do know they are trying to provoke war in this are differences at a Geneva Peace Conference. This would be the Soviets display of a peace effort. the communit way. The Russians will be very patient.

It is our hope that the city will respond to the PTAs invitation to testify and comprise the audience for his event, for it is only with a broad representation of our citizens that we can gain a new and valid perspective on our own urban problems. Kxsdd . by Carol Shaw Doman recently ' returned from a trip to Mexico and Guatemala while on sabbatical leave from Weber State College, where he teaches Spanish. Dr. Doman is also a city councilman for North Ogden City. It was an adventure every day, said Dr. Doman. Very valuable time for me and for my profession." I know that Ill be a better teacher because of it. Dr. Doman spent 7 weeks traveling in his 4 wheel drive Scout. Hemeta colleague from California when he arrived in Mexico and they traveled together. He said since he got home he has become addicted to water. He just cant seem to get enough of the good, pure water we have here. He said that in Mexico the water was generally not drinkable. He said that the people have to drink purified, bottled water to avoid amebic dysentery. Dr. Doman said that he had no trouble with illness on his trip. He cited one possible reason as being that he ate no strange food. In fact, he said they ate peanut butter sandwiches most of the time to save money. He said they had wanted to go as far' as Costa Rico, but they changed their minds because of the political unrest in Nicaragua, which they would have had to drive through. He said one of the highlights of his trip was a visit to Volcan de Agua, which is a volcanic mountain 'that is still active. He said they have a lot of earthquakes there because of the volcanic activity. He said that it seemed strange to him that there was no cold water available in the city. All of the water was heated underground. It was so hot, that it had to be cooled in barrels before a person could use it to . shower. He said the city was destroyed in 1773 by an earthquake, rebuilt and destroyed again. It is now open for tourism. Dr. Doman said that it impressed him that he could see first hand the evidences of the thriving civilizations that existed in the past. He said there is an air of granduer spiritual and majestic - that you feel as you visit these ruins. You know you are standing where great civilizations once flourished. He said he saw many Book of Mormon evidences. It was remarkable to him that the civilizations were so advanced in the areas that Mexico and Guatemala now cover. He said the people there studied astronomy and math and had a highly developed calender, while the North American people were eating lizards, living as hunters and gathers in a very primitave fashion. Dr. Doman, said that the Mayan Indian Center contains very beautiful ruins and the Aztec ruins are magnificent. He also enjoyed Palenque, Monte Alban and Tikal. Another highlight of his trip was a visit to the city of Antigua. According to Dr. Doman, Antigua was the political, social, religious and cultural center of the Spanish Empire in Central America during its golden age in the 1700s. They also had a good time shopping in the open air market at Chichicastenango in the center of Guatemala. He came back with a lot of slides, a stuffed iguana and some rubbings -pictures made by draping cloth over stone carvings and rubbing with color. He also has a lot of memories and experiences. r.7sCi si, cwisn io am. to 3 p.m. Manager, Spencer T. Wright Manager Spencer T.
