Watch the pages of The Springville Herald over the next weeks prior to the celebration for details on the upcoming events. If you are planning entries in the flower show, art show, or are planning to display your craft handiwork at the art gallery, you should now be hard at work preparing your exhibits. If you have only just decided to put that prize collection of hand-painted ceramic bells before the public, or have summoned sum-moned the courage to demonstrate before the public at large the talents you have been hiding in the closet these many years, someone is waiting for Mapleton to By Franklin Nielsen Mapleton Council voted to delete 200 East Street between 400 North and 600 North, but administration will not issue building permits in the area until landlocked land-locked problems are ironed out by the planning commission and citizens. In other action council determined, by split vote, to get additional information about installing cable TV facilities in the city. Council also reviewed a map of additional ad-ditional streets proposed to be added to the master plan. One councilman objected ob-jected because he said oneof the streets goes through his home. Springville Art City Days Royalty, with two representatives from Mapleton, made a presentation to the council to join planned festivities. In other action a letter from citizens in Westwood subdivision refusing to hook up to the culinary water will be forwarded to the city attorney for legal opinion before thety pursuesthe. matter' of !or'ci Tulinary water hookups. Little league funding, fire truck purchase, and state fireman's convention were other subjects brought before the council. Harold Diamond, whose home is in the middle of proposed 200 East Street, has asked that this street be deleted from the master plan. The home was placed exactly as prescribed by previous planning commission, Diamond said. Many citizens attend the public hearing on this matter, nearly all objecting to the city engineer's recommendations as to how to solve the land-lock problem. Mayor Edward K. Springville man promoted to vice president McWane, Inc., the parent company of Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company and Waterworks Equipment Company has announced the promotion of L. LaVar Felix to vice president and general manager of the Waterworks Operations, which are located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Tempe, Arizona. In addition, Mr. Felix will continue to handle many of the assignments that have been his responsibility as Management-Administrative Assistant at the Pacific States Division.

Chamber of By Jo Ann De Haas Your local Chamber of Commerce desires to serve the consumers of Springville, and to more efficiently perform this task a series of articles are planned to inform its membership and the general public about the overall business atmosphere in the city, what factors influence it both from a positive standpoint and from the other side of the scope. The Chamber's general responsibility respon-sibility which was also the object of its formation many, many years ago, is to act as a liason between local businesses and consumers. To settle disputes and to benefit both through advertising. " Advertising generally is a form of your phone call. That someone is Marie Mason and you can phone her at 489-6362. 489-6362. Marie would love to hear from you even if you would just like a little more information on what you can exhibit. Art City Days committee chairperson Delora Bertelsen, would also like to hear from public spirited citizens willing to help with the Art City Days Perpetuation Committee Booth. Many local citizens harbor the misconception that funding for Art City Days comes exclusively from the city budget. In truth, the celebration is intended to be self-sustaining. Rising costs over the past few years have made it in-creaseingly in-creaseingly difficult to cover expenses, without having to ask the city to come to the rescue with additional money to withhold area building permits Wiscombe recommended that the citizens meet together to solve the problem with the help of the planning commission. Adding to the problem, no'nies nave been allowed to be built where 300 East and where 500 North Streets ought to be. Councilman John Bleggi suggested that part of this present problem was created by action of a previous planning commission member living in the area. Mayor Wiscombe said that the administration would not issue additional building permits until this problem is solved. Lee Anderson, representing a cable TV company, made a presentation to the council seeking a franchise for installing cable TV. Cable TV, he said, is for persons who have bad reception or who want better reception along with additional channels. By a split vote with Councilman Larry Hanes objecting, ob-jecting, the cable TV company will be back at a later council meeting with a specific proposal to obtain the fran-, chise. Haines oBjections, he said, was because part of the packages includes first run unedited R-rated movies. It is a shame that all good things have to be accompanied along with what he considers bad features. He said he could not vote for R-rated movies coming into our homes. Company representatives pointed to a ten-year trend showing the direction of producing R-rated movies. In 1968 they said 141 G-rated movies were produced along with 103 R-rated movies. In 1979 the same study showed on 24 G rated movies produced along with 163 R-rated movies. Company L. La Var Felix Bp' s 11 'ilMMtiliMli-nrViii 1 . Commerce serves consumers education to consumers as to what new things are being offered, what new businesses and services are available and if businesses already here have prospered. An example of this service to consumers can be found in this paper. Local merchants have banned together in a city-wide Mothers Day Sale and to add zest are offering flowers to honor mothers. This isn't just a gimmic, they all feel it in their hearts and each receives the pleasure of giving. The sale also creates the ultimate market for local businesses and saves the consumer both time and. money pay for major budget items like the parade and the Saturday night fireworks. Art City Days was created for, and is maintained as a source of enjoyment for the people of Springville and Mapleton. It also acquaints many people from outside our area with the beauty of our city and gives many the opportunity to patronize local businesses. Returning to the idea of funding for the annual celebration, the Art City Days Perpetuation Committee decided rather than ask the city to provide additional money, the committee itself would initiate a project to raise the much needed operating capital. The decision has been made to operate a officials explained a lock-out feature that could be used during an evening if baby sitters were at homes and parents did not want to have the babysitter and the children viewing these movies. They also explained that persons did not need to subscribe to the facilities showing the R-rated movies which is not part of the basic package. They explained further, however, that 99 percent of the hookups in Springville, Orem and other communities serviced by their company subscribe to the facilities offering the R-rated movies. Haines' objection came in spite of these lock-out features. Company representatives said this is your town and you can do what you want, but reminded council of First Amendment rights. Springville Art City Days royalty with Queen Shari Kunze of Mapleton, Susan Smart-First Attendant of Springville, and Shelly Czirr, second attendant pXJMapleton asked the council and citizens to join in the Springville Art City Days festivities. As building permits were issued in Westwood subdivision, each homeowner was required to sign a document concerning water hookup. Now that water is available for the area, a letter from the city explaining . the cost of the hook up for each home was sent to each citizen. A letter was received from some of the residents in the area asking that the water be provided only to a fire hydrant and not to their home being serviced by wells. The city attorney will be consulted before the next move by the city in this Water outlook WASHINGTON- One of the lightest snowpacks ever recorded on the West's mountain watersheds probably will result in a short supply of water in some states of the region this summer. That was the gist of a forecast issued jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. "Many water users in the West will face critical supply problems unless there is a lot of rain throughout the summer," said Norman A. Berg, chief of USDA's Soil Conservation Service. Surveys carried out the first of April, when snowpack in the West normally reaches its maximum depth, revealed little change from conditions prevailing the first of March, said Berg. Berg said the forecast is brighter for users in areas served by reservoirs. "Water storage is normal or above normal in several states and is adequate to avert major problems for those who have access to it," he said. Colorado: Snowpack is about 60 percent of normal, due to heavy March snow. Runoff is expected to be very low. Idaho: The snowpack is at a near record low in the south and very low elsewhere. Runoff will be 70 "percent of normal or lower in most of Idaho. hunting for desired commodities. Aside from this particular sale, this service that goes on year-round seems to be of particular importance in these present times with gas prices so high and more and more demands on people's time. Our modern times, with its rapid transportation doesn't allow for Mom and Dad to load up the wagon and ready the kids early in the morning for a daylong day-long shopping excursion to town.

Poor Mom im booth during the celebration where useful second-hand items, donated by the public, can be sold. Hand-made items donated for sale would also be greatly appreciated and some beautiful quilts made by Ethel Phillips and Nellie Bertelsen have already been acquired to be sold. Volunteers who would be willing to man the booth on Friday and Saturday would be very much appreciated ap-preciated also. If you have an item or two you would be willing to donate for this worthwhile project call Delora Bertelsen at 489-4607, or any member of the Art City Days committee.

Val Mathews approached the council lor funding the Little League. She also asked that spraying be done at the park to control the puncture weeds causing damage to youth bicycle tires. Mrs. Mathews was referred to Councilman Dean Tew who was not present at the council meeting to work out funding matters. Harold Gividen, city recorder, pointed out that the payment to the Little League has already been made last July from the present budget. The new budget will not be in effect until July. John Bleggi has received additional information concerning a possible fire truck purchase. The truck would cost $55,300 with several options for funding with as little as 10 percent down and seven years to pay. Council asked Bleggi to get additional comparative bids before a decision would be made. 'Kir .

Runoff will be well below normal. Washington: Snowpack improved in the northern section and remained poor in the southern section. Reservoir storage is adequate to supplement poor runoff. Wyoming: Snowpack statewide is about one-half of normal and the lowest on record. Runoff will be much below normal. Reservoir storage is above normal.

I've got to get the kids off to school, bake cupcakes for Susie's class and because yesterday was full of these same types of impromptu plans that seemd to keep the total day in chaos, it didn't allow time for the washing that has stacked high and for the cleaning left from the day before. I've at least got to make a dent in it. Then there's gymnastics lessons and the ball game and somewhere there must be time for . supper.

Dressed in combat uniform they were given exercises to prepare them for possible , future battles; however, their biggest battle to this point has been with Mother Nature. Saturday night's storm downed several tents of the engineers who were bivouaced on a bluff overlooking Camp Williams. After heavy rainstorms on Saturday and Sunday, even the usually reliable jeeps were slithering around in the black ooze.
