But 2,335 of their fellow crew members died and 1,178 others were wounded. In addition, 68 civilians died. In memory of the event Utah Governor Scott Matheson has signed a proclamation designating Dec. 7 as Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day." Twenty Utah members and about 2,000 U.S. members of the survivors association will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the event in Hawaii. The association was organized in 1958. The Utah chapter was organized in May 1964, the 17th chapter to join. A meeting is held on the second Saturday of each month sometimes at a members home, other times at a restaurant or other location. Most members are in their late 50s or 60s, Smethurst said. The members often rehash different situations that occurred at Pearl harbor. All have different viewpoints of what hap- pened, he added. You put men on the rail of a ship and they all see something different. The chapter has someone from almost every ship, Smethurst said.

In Kaysville Redevelopment Hearing Set A public hearing will be held KAYSVILLE at 7 p.m. on Dec. 10 to consider the proposed redevelopment plan for the Kaysville town redevelopment project adoption by the Kaysville City Council and the Kaysville Redevelopment Agency. The meeting will be held in the multipurpose room of the Kaysville Elementary School at 50 N. 100 E. A public hearing of the redevelopment agency was held Tuesday at city municipal building. The purpose of that meeting was to provide individuals who have specific questions about the plan and the way it would affect them with an earlier opportunity to be heard, City Administrator John Thacker told property owners and Kaysville residents in a letter. The purpose of the meeting on Dec. 10 is to deal with any objections to the proposed project down- area, officials said. Individuals who deny the existence of blight in the area or who question the regularity of any of the proceedings leading to the site determination can express their views at this second public hearing, they said. Written objection may be filed any time prior to the 7 p.m. meeting. Information submitted in writing and at the public hearing will be used to determine whether there is sufficient opposi- tion to the plan to require an election as a precondition to adoption of the plan or to warmoratorium on consideration rant a three-yea- r of the plan, officials said. Thacker said that copies of the proposed plan, rules governing participation and preferences by owner, operators of businesses and tenants and relocation rules and regulations are available for inspection at the city hall in Kaysville. 5 Points Expansion Planned The 5 Points Mall will soon BOUNTIFUL undergo expansion and an adjustment of the I tenant mix. Cornell Larson, a representative of Turteling Co. of Boise, Ida., a developer, said that both ; the Bountiful City Council and the owners of the mall are in favor of expanding the mall and ' adjusting the tenant mix. Although the mall isnt in great financial the volume of shoppers there has ; difficulty, ; dropped, he said. There needs to be an adjust-- ; ment of the tenant mix to get the traffic up, he added, Turteling Co. and the Bountiful Redevelop-men- t Agency have been working together on ; the project. V.A. (Kit) Bettilyon, Bountiful Redevelop-- . ment Agency director, said he has been ; negotiating with two prospective anchor ten- ants. Plans are to add one anchor tenant to the mall. The anchor tenant would be a department store such as Sears or Mervyns, he said. A family restaurant, a mens clothing store ; and a ladys clothing store for the mall are also in the works, he added. Larson said some tenants have been delin-- ; quent in their payments and may be removed to make way for other stores to locate in the mall. ; He said the owners are hoping to get a clothing - store into the mall with a line of clothes ac- ceptable to the people in the Bountiful and : Davis County area." Also a furniture and a - hardware store are possibilities, he said. The anchor tenant would probably locate in the space occupied by the Albertsons owned store, Grocery Warehouse, Larson said. Albert- sons is very interested in locating to a piece of property the city is trying to make available to them, he added. The mall would be expanded by about 60,000 ; - square feet to make way for the anchor store, Bettilyon said. Some $5 million the City Council 2 recently approved in industrial revenue bonds for Turteling Company will probably be used by the anchor tenant and for remodeling costs for - new stores to the mall, he said. 1 Larson said the mall cant expand much ; more in the future than what is planned for the - anchor store. He said the parking ratio to ; square footage of the mall is a limiting factor. Bettilvon said he expects the groundbreaking ! ; for the anchor store expansion to begin within the next year. Bettilyon said the mall has a high ratio of shoppers, but most come to the mall to pick up one or two items and leave. He said the mall at present doesnt have a large variety of items for shoppers. If we put in a mall downtown tomorrow, we would in essence turn 5 Points into a parking lot, he said. What Bountiful needs is two strong areas for shoppers, to give area residents an incentive to adjust their shopping habits away from Salt Lake City and to spend more of their dollars in Bountiful, he said. He said one anchor store in Bountiful would probably have little effect. Two would also have no real effect. But if there were three anchor stores in Bountiful, well now youre getting enough variety, he said. cation. However, businesses that had more than four machines before the ordinance went into effect were given status by the city and allowed to continue with the same number of machines they had before the ordinance took effect, Tom Hardy, city manager, said. The council will be considering whether consolidating non conforming uses should be allowed. So a non conforming use ordinance has been prepared for permitting such a consolidation. Hardy said in a memorandum to the City Countil It is the staffs feeling that a consolidation would result in easier enforcement and an elimination of one am- usement arcade. There is sufficient space in the 5 Points Mall to allow for the additional games and staff feels that it would be easier to en- force regulations on amusement arcades at the location and is, therefore, supportive of this request. The council will also consider approval of two amusement devices at two Triangle Oil Company gas !
