Emmet Bird to the State Department of High-ways, expressing the opinion of Springville business men that the proposed parallel parking in the city's Main Street, would jepardise busi-ness, the mayor has received the following letter from the department. "Dear Mayor Bird. "The staff has given care-ful consideration to your letter of June 21 in regard to your proposal to terminate highway improvements on US 89-9- 1 at Center Street and your opposi- - and will be happy to con-fer with you in order to bring a solution to the problem so that this project may move forward." Very truly yours, J. Edward Johnston Deputy Director for Plan-ing From this letter the city is told in so many words that unless the town conforms with the plans of the state highway department, no improvements to the road wall be forthcom-ing. There is no definite com- - tion to ;tfwmn4- flint V,rt rt.M- - r.y parallel panting. "In view of the Road Com-mission's firm policy limiting any further highway improve-ments in urban areas unless parallel parking is establish-ed, we have no other choice but to advise that unless this can be worked out and parallel parking agreed to, the pro-th- e proposed project will be deferred. "There is no proof that par-allel parking has been injur-ious to businesses. We have found in most cases where a claim of loss was made that there were other factors than parallel parking present. "There is no question but what the public generally does not support parallel parking and for this reason business firms are prone to approve its use. The question is not whe-ther or not it is a matter of public preference but rather raised portion of main street would be taken off. Business men believe that parallel parking would present a major problem here in win-ter time especially and they have expressed their views as definitely opposed to it. Some have offered a solution to the problem- suggesting that the curb and gutter be placed back to the sidewalk, doing away with the space in which lawn and sometimes weeds grow between the walks and the curb. This, in the opinion of the businessmen would wrid-e- n the street, give more park-ing space and ficilitate traffic. Tree incident Some business men and and many citizens have not forgotten the ultimatum hand-ed down by the state road of-ficials when they informed the nifv that imlpsc nil thA fre.q handle traffic with the least congestion and maximum of safety. "I am sure that' if we pro-ceeded with this project we could overcome the problems resulting from the crown on the roadway. "We will appreciate your further review of this matter on Main street were cut down, the new street lights would) not be installed. It will be noted that Span-ish Fork retained their trees as did Brigham City. Citizens have also brought to the attention of city offic-ials the report that the state road commission would not allow a sign across Main street such as that Springville had informing tourists of the booth on the city park. How-ever a similar sign has been placed by Provo in two places on the highway and another is in American Fork designat-ing the site of their tourist booth. Homes go down for new service station One of the older homes in Springville, known as the Deal home, somewhat of a landmark, on the corner of Second North and Main Street, is being torn down this week to make room for a service station. The property just south of the Deal residence, that former-ly owned by the late M. W. Eird, has also been purchased by the same company for the station site. Both homes were among the finest in Springville some years ago, constructed in what was believed the choice residential area. But with the changing times, the homes will be re-placed with modern facilities to serve the traveling public. Farm Bureau seeks talent The Farm Bureau is seeking talent for tryouts to be held August 28, at 8 p.m. at the Provo Utilities Building, an-nounces Mrs. Wallace, Spring-ville, chairman. Participants must be from Farm Bureau families and may enter several fields including music, dance, reading, speech, posture and others. Winners will go to the state contest where the best talent will be selected for the national com-petition. There are age limits in each of the divisions and most of the numbers are limited to five minutes. Details of the contest may be secured from Mrs. Harmer by Springville and Mapleton young people who desire to participate. Mapleton may now cope with emergency The Mapleton Volunteer Fire Department is now equipped to handle most emergencies in the community, Fire Chief John Bleggi announced this week. The department is supplied with a resuscitator contributed by the Mapleton Jayces and the firemen have been trained to use it. Also each fireman car-ries a first aid kit to be used in emergencies. And the de-partment also has a 24-ho-ambulance service. Acording to Stanley Jensen, appointed publicity chairman for the department, the Maple-ton firemen have initiated a project in which they hope to raise some needed funds through the sale of pens. Members of the volunteer group plan to call the citizens of Mapleton to explain to them how to contact the department in case of fire or other emer-gency during their pen sale. Services today in Idaho for Elsie Llewellyn A number of Springville rel-atives will be in Rupert, Idaho, today to attend funeral ser-vices for Mrs. Elsie Weight Llewellyn, 77, who died Satur-day at Salem, Oreg., while visiting members of her fam- - uy. Mrs. Llewellyn was born in Springville April 17, 1884, a daughter of Joseph and Rhe-uam- a Johnson Weight. She was married to Reese William Llewellyn in the Salt Lake Temple December 14, 1914 and they made their home in Springville a number of years before moving to Idaho where M r. Llewellyn engaged i n farming. Mrs. "Llewellyn had taken an active part in civic and church functions in Rupert during their residence in the commun-ity. She is survived by her husband and seven sons and daughters: Ellery D., Maur-ice, Donald, Keith W.. and Wm. Llewellyn and Mrs. Brownse (Beth) Winn and Mrs. Cecil (Nancy) Osborne all residing in the Northwest; also following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Nell Wiscombe of Mapleton; Mrs. Bertha Roth-we- ll and Henry M Weight of Springville; Dr. J. J. Weight and Kenneth Weight of Provo. Honest A sixteen year old boy's conscience was cleared dur-ing the week after he recti-fied a mistake he had made four years ago. The incident was brought to a climax earlier this week when the boy and we hope there are other young men who will have as much cour-age and determination as this young man came into Haymond Drug, walked up to Mrs. Olive Miller, clerk, and related the story of how four years ago he had taken a magazine from the rack without paying for it. Many times since he had been in the store and had desperat-ely wanted to pay for it, but not until now had he quite been able to overcome his guilt-fille- d conscience to where he could make restitu-tion. Mrs. Miller accepted the money and commended the young man for being honest enough to make amends for what he had done.

Parents give thanks to search parties Parents of the two boys who set off a 70-m- search when they failed to return from a hike Saturday night, express their thanks to all who par-ticipated in the search. There was considerable ex-citement in Springville and the Utah county sheriff's office took part in the search when Kern Phillips Boyer, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Boyer and Danny Franks, 13, son of Mrs. Hazel Franks did not re-turn from a hike at a late hour Saturday night. The boys left early in the morning to reach Round Peak and the Three sisters, but mis-th- e amount of time it would take. When darkness came upon them, they decided to stay on the mountain under a tree until morning rather than take a chance over the steep mountain side. Springville city police or-ganized a search party Satur-day night and combed the mountain until after midnight. Assisting were members of the county sheriff's department, County Sheriff's mounted posse the Jeep Patrol and three rid-ing clubs in addition to in-dividual men. The boys were located Sun-day at 4 a.m., in the vicinity of the State Highway near Iornton.
