PURDY has served as city councilman for 10 years and feels the experience gained in several city departments and on county level boards would be a valuable asset in the mayors position. He sees the problems facing Kaysville as typical of the type presented by rapid growth in population and resulting need for services. He is concerned with trying to maintain the small town atmosphere of Kaysville that makes it such a desirable place to live and raise a family. MR. PURDY feels that citizen input is of primary importance if city planning and development is to best serve i the needs of the people of Kaysville. He believes the community involvement in the recent shows that it mass-meeting- s, is possible to initiate such input. As chairman of the Kaysville Community Art League, Mr. Purdy has been instrumental in the development of the LeConte Stewart Gallery of Art and recognizes the need to continue growth of art and other cultural programs.

Gailey Park is midway through construction and will be completed in the spring. A new lighting system is . being installed at the city diamonds and expansion of that park is included in the current budget. ACCORDING to Mr. Purdy a major problem in recreation development is the difficulty of purchasing land in the areas of the city where it is needed. A park and recreation fund for capital improvement is being established with building permit money to help answer this need. Bowns, CAP official. I MRS. BOWNS says the organization is hopeful that they can provide Christmas for at least 200 low income families, which will be identified as recipients for the program as a result of being below the poverty guidelines.

THE REPORT stated further that 20,000 Americans get epilepsy every year from head injury, and that in the costs unemployment among people with epilepsy reaches (1 billion annually. Lose HenejM Want to lose ten pounds in the next year? ONE way you can do it is to walk an extra mile every day. The American Medical Association points out that a walk of just an extra mile per day for 36 days is a simple, opinion that calories expended through exercise would be immediately replaced, due to automatic increase in appetite. Fortunately for fitness as well as for fatness, exercise has been restored to grace and enjoys respectability. It still takes calorie control to keep weight under control but exercise helps expend calories; within the usual range of activity, it need not stimulate appetite permanently, through its support of munist tyranny. ignored violations stated rights, of providing unexpected contrast to the brilliant coloring of the leaves. CRISP sunny weekends have made the annual task of putting up storm windows much easier to bear and the problem of raking fallen leaves has just begun. Snow has already fallen in some states, and we can expect our annual mass of crumpled cars when our first snow arrives Wise motorists are already getting their cars winterized for the cold weather ahead, and the wisest of them all are preparing to winterize their driving habits as well LEO H. Barlow, president of the Utah Safety Council, predicts the first cold night well see long lines of laden motorists at filling stations for trying to get their radiators. The first really cold morning we'll see stalled vehicles by the thousands across the state because their owners neglected to get them ready for winter. According to Barlow, failure to adjust for winter driving will create the anti-freez- e same added work load for the body shops, and in some instance), the hospital emergency room.

Small children sitting or standing on the seats of these cars could be thrown violently against the cars interior at whatever speed the car was traveling when it suddenly came to a stop. Adults will suffer neck in- juries, facial bruises and cuts, and probably some of the occupants will be hospitalized, and will happen again and again simply because somewhere in each of these collisions is a driver who still thinks he can stop as quickly as he could on dry pavement. ONE OF these mornings you'll start your car and enter the traffic flow, and in seconds the windshield will be fogged because you have neglected to warm up the car interior just a little bit before starting to move. Remember what it was like the last time that happened to you - the panic of realizing you didnt know whether the car ahead was still moving or if you were still straight and not into the oncoming traffic. Think about the time you used the windshield washers to clear the windshield and the liquid froze on the glass throughout the country, they output of heat.

BARLOW asks that you remember the time you had the helpless feeling of turning the steering wheel and having the car go straight ahead or applying the brakes and being convinced the car was actually going faster. These are just a few of the unpleasant things that can happen if we are not prepared for winter driving. Its not the same as summer driving, and we have to keep reminding ourselves until we adjust to winter needs, and winter needs can change rapidly without warning. ever stepped on the gas and had the rear end of the car skid around and slam into the car next to yours or known the moment of panic when your car started to skid on a curve? HAVE YOU According to Barlow, that's the result of a power skid accelerating Mo fast for road conditions The power applied to the wheels is more than the ability of the tire tread to grip the road, and as a result, they spin; and when a tire is spinning, it has no friction to keep - the wheels from skidding sideways. UNLESS the skid is too severe, a power skid can be controlled by simply easing up on the gas pedal. If condi tions or speed are such that this isn't enough, then the old trick of steering in the direc- tion of the skid may solve the problem. On ice, however, you cannot expect instant response. If your speed is high enough, there may be no time left for correcting a skid. A spinout on a curve is a very difficult skid to control, even on dry roads. Keeping the car on the road and pointed in the right direction may be the best you can hope for. IF THE car cannot be kept on the road, try and aim for a clear spot where you can come to a stop without hitting anything solid. The Council President suggests, adjust your speed and stopping distances so the problems never occur.

The difference between the American and the UN view of human rights is therefore the difference between freedom and slavery. BESIDES THE human rights issue, there are many other features of the United Nations concern that Birchers. Among these would be the follows: The United Nations point to the fact that the largest percentage of the UN budget comes from the United States, while the Soviet Union and other Com- - arrears on their payments. THE GENERAL Assembly. Another fact cited by Birchers is that while our nation has a single vote in the General Assembly, the Soviet Union has been given three (USSR, Byelorussia, and the Ukraine). Diplomatic Immunity. Birchers point out that diplomats assigned to the UN are able to use their immunity from arrest for com- munist espionage activities in this country. NARCOTICS Distribution. According to the Birchers, the UN is shielding the massive distribution of narcotics by one of its newest members: Red China. World Government. Birchers see in the UN the formal framework for world government. They believe that such a world government would mean the abandonment of freedom and the abolishment of the United States of America. THERE IS A great deal of evidence to support these Mr. Freeman positions, And these are explained. only some of the many reasons why we believe that Oct. 24 should be called a Day of Shame. The first UN Day of Shame was promoted by the Birch Society in 1972, on the first anniversary of the UN's expulsion of the Republic of China and the admission of Communist China in its place. Mr. Freeman said the purpose of the Day of Shame" event is to "create understanding of the UN record through distribution of literature, film showings and other educational projects. HE ADDED that members of the Society would to conduct this continue Day of Shame" project "until the day comes when the United States is no longer a member of the United Nations." Local members of the John Birch Society invite all interested parties to contact them regarding this protect the native scene and have ACCORDING to the Wood Energy Institute of Vermont, sales for 1977 alone may reach a total of 400,000 units. The best guess is that the average outlay for a stove will be FOR that are already munist countries are in Franklins, and the potbellies. They have long been part of FACT, where the weather is coldest some wood stove makers refuse to make any promises to customers, and a few manufacturers claim they are sold out not only for the approaching winter but for the following winter as well.

THE output energy required to offset a pound of fat is approximately 3,500 calories, but the weight need not be lost all at once. Instead of the exhausting, often impossible, hike within a span of hours, a walk of just one extra mile a day for 36 days will get rid of that extra pound. Weight gain usually is relatively slow, and the extra mile will - for most of us - help keep weight down to a reasonable Freeman, the local Birch leader, but has actually supported these violations Area members and friends of The John Birch Society believe that the United Nations is no supporter of human rights. They also believe that we should withdraw from the United Nations, and that UN Day (Oct. 24) should be called a Day of Shame. -- r J.
