Tuesday siren was warning signal test That siren pounding in the ears of Springville residents a full two minutes Tuesday morning was a civil defense ; warning of a simulated nuclear attack being staged throughout the country,;' said .Jim Tracy, Utah County CivU Defense Director. '- f .i l Mr. Tracy said the warning', originated in headquarters for North American Air Defense Command in Colorado where all satellites, air craft, and every piece of debris in space is plotted every day, categorized and kept on file. It is the responsibility of the center, he added, to warn the nationa of any impending nuclear attack. The warning signal goes out over an extensive telephone network to areas throughout the country. The warning system reaches two places in Utah County, he said. They are the State Highway Patrol Center in Orem which is manned 24 hours a day and the County Emergency Operating Center (EOC), who in turn puts uit . warning out to the central dispatch center for the county, who then puts out the warning to all cities via their police departments. Police departments then ring the sirens. It took approximately nine minutes from the time the warning was received in the county Tuesday, until all cities had been warned, Mr. Tracy said. One problem encountered in the county, Mr. Tracy added, is that many of the cities do not have adequate warning systems, or sirens. Many are not loud enough and hopefully something will be done to correct the situation, he said. Mr. Tracy declared he felt the EOC was very successful in getting the warning out to the cities, but a meeting is planned for this morning to determine deter-mine what action might be taken to get the cities to install better warning systems.

Springville Police Department detective Norman Cole shows how the police department will engrave serial numbers and other means of identification on CB radios, snks k mm 'Springville City Police Department this week is initiating two more crime prevention programs, and seeking the aid of citizens to carry them out. According to Detective Norman Cole, car prowlers are hard at work between now and Christmas. "Car thieves go Christmas shopping just like everybody else," he said. They need extra cash for Christmas and get it by stealing CB radios, tape players, tools and other things, either to sell or to give as gifts. CB radios, tape players and tools are prime targets of the car thief, Detective Cole said, because they are hard to trace and easy to peddle. Because of this, the police department depart-ment is offering for a month, free of charge, the use of electric engraving tools at the police department. Detective Cole said it would take only a very few minutes for people with these items in their automobiles to swing into the department parking lot, and engrave their tools and equipment. The engraved serial number and description of the item then will be permanently placed on file in the police department. A combination warning-registration warning-registration sticker will be placed on the items engraved. A warning bumper sticker noting that the person has participated in operation ID may be put on the car bumper, if the owner so desires, Detective Cole said. This bumper sticker may slow down some thieves, Detective Cole explained, tape decks, and generally on the dfmm mi MQv&nVim and the florescent sticker attached to the CB radio, tape deck or tools, may discourage some from stealing altogether. The engraved serial number, plus the description kept on file is always available for court proceedings identification, iden-tification, officer Cole added. Many times a person gets into court and can't readily identify his property, even though it looks like his property, because there is no serial number or description on file, Officer Cole explained. ex-plained. CB'ers help CB'ers helping with crime prevention will be an on-going program with the police department which has published a handout to be given to all interested CB'ers. The program is outlined as follows: 1. When you see something suspicious or something the police should be made aware of...CALL US! 2. Springville Police Dispatchers monitor channel no. 9, 24 hours a day. And when calling us, just ask for "Springville Police." If our dispatchers do not come back to you the first time, try again. Our dispatchers are monitoring 7 police frequencies and CB channel no. 9 and you might be covered. 3. When reporting something to us, be brief and concise. Such as, when calling in a motorist assist, 10-46. Tell our dispatcher you have a stalled vehicle, blue & white, Chev. car in the north nor-th bound lane at 400 South Main. Whether you're calling us about a motorist assist or a crime in progress, a correct location and description is most important. 4. After reporting, stay with us, on channel no. 9 for a minute or two. Our dispatcher may need to come back to you for additional information. 5. Don't chatter on channel no. 9 to your good buddy down the road. And if you hear chatter on channel no. 9, break to them and tell them to go to another channel. 6. Don't call our dispatcher about a vehicle going down the road with a tail-light tail-light or head-light out, unless, they need help or are involved in a crime. We want our dispatchers to stay alert for necessary calls from you. 7. Don't get directly involved if you see a crime in progress. The criminal may get away and you might get hurt. Make Fire Prevention Week appointments now All local school classes, particularly elementary classes, are invited to make appointments with the Springville Volunteer Fire Department for participation in National Fire Prevention Week, scheduled here next week. Fire prevention officer David Johnson says all Cub Scouts, Scouts, clubs, families, or other groups are also tools in an effort to curb car prowlers, increase between now and Christmas. Your safety, like our officer's safety, is most important to us. Should you elect to follow a criminal in your unit, stay back and never make contact with the criminal. And remember, alwasy obey the traffic laws and rules. Helping your police department does not mean you may break any of our laws! Mapleton approves zone change request A public hearing Tuesday night in Mapleton met with no disapproval in reviewing a request submitted by William W. Wimmer to re-zone property located at 1285 W. 800 N. from A-2 Agriculture to General Com-mercial-1. Inasmuch as the property is contingent con-tingent to GC-1 already, it was considered con-sidered not to be spot zoning and city council unanimously approved the request upon the Planning Commission's Com-mission's recommendations. In other business Mapleton City Council approved a request by Gene Carly, Utah County Council of Governments (COG) representative, for $346 as the city's share in COG. Mayor Norman Graves, whose term expires the end of the year, expressed his gratitude to members of the city council and other city officials for their willingness to work together efficiently and congenially. A question was also raised regarding road upgrading in the Westwood Subdivision. Council pointed out that a check in the initial contract with the property seller shows that road grading and graveling should be completed by the seller. Council also approved purchase of fencing materials to be installed by city crews, as time permits, between the ball park and the Tippetts property and approved hiring of four migrant workers to clean ditches, the park and possibly to paint the stage.
