V. :; Several extremely valid points and concerns con-cerns were brought out in Tuesday's council coun-cil meeting, where about 25 residents pro tested the raising of city speed limits. ;Their concerns were well-intentioned and -well worth consideration. :: However, the problem seemed to have been blown just a bit out of proportion during the meeting. After all, the limit on Renter Street is only being raised from 25 :-to 30 miles-per-hour, only a five mile-per-:ihour raise. Figures cited in the state engineers' study would suggest that many of the peo-:jple peo-:jple protesting the city's raising of speed limits might have been traveling over the limits themselves.

I was able to get up without the least difficulty just roll out of j bed, onto my feet, and out to the kitchen for a bowl of 'Munchy-Crunchies and the morning cartoons. Children never seem to have much trouble getting '"up. They bounce right out with theireyes wide open - and their little bodies raring to go. . J-'-;; But by the time you hit those early twenties (get-C (get-C ting on in my years, aren't I), all the magic is gone. Getting out of the sack is an all-consuming effort, re-' re-' quiring dedication, long-suffering, and persistence unmatched elsewhere. '. Maybe it's because when you're young (very x young, that is, not my age of young) there's more to r get up for. I haven't time for morning cartoons now. i, and the Munchy-Crunchies usually get left for a doughnut downed while running out the door, v Kids don't have to face an tne problems of the , world. (Neither do I, but I get my share.) Imagine how excited you'd be to get up if all you had to worry jabout was how to avoid Mom making you take a bath and how to stop the dog from following you on your ? bike. That would be something worth getting up for. ri Kids are also learning so many things about the t world. There's so much out there to see and do. My at- titude is typically "I know what's out there beyond jj these sheets. I've seen it and I'm not coming out." 'l i I started getting this type of bearing when I was in ".' high school. Mom countered by coming into my room " las the sun was coming over the hill and singing in her v 'most piercing voice "RISE AND SHINE, IT'S TIME i ; TO GET UP." y "GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME TO DIE IN PEACE," I replied, at which point she would either r bounce the mattress up and down, jab me in the side ' with her thumbs or sing again. Her singing generally Z did the trick. v Now away from home and Mother's singing, I have ! to yank myself out of bed. And it's by far no easy task. ' i Through the years I have learned every trick in the ; i book to avoid it. From the "just ten more minutes" 1 excuse (which always runs to an hour) to being able ' ; to get out of bed in my sleep and turn off the obnox-I obnox-I ious alarm clock, I can find more ways to get out of - getting up than younger brother used to be able to find for getting away from bathwater. Lately I've been thinking I might benefit from a ' spring-loaded, timed mattress which would blast me ; off at precisely 7 a.m. every morning, turning on the ' stereo full-blast and dousing me with cold water. And if that doesn't work, I may go so far as to try 1 my latest mental invention, the dynamite-wired : alarm clock.

And the problem cannot be wholly blamed blam-ed upon the drivers. Many children in the community are grossly irresponsible in their traffic habits. Whether the limit were to be raised or not, there would still be a danger because parents are not teaching their children safe traffic habits well enough. We feel that with Police Chief Leland Bowers' promise to strictly enforce the new limits and the formation of the study committee to make recommendations for improved safety on Center Street, the limit may still be raised to the reasonable 30 miles-per-hour without any added danger to the community.

Tips given to beautify neighborhood The following tips on beautifying your neighborhood neigh-borhood and yard were submitted by Nola Palfreyman of the city beautification committee: com-mittee: Summer is finally here. Time for a mini cleanup in our yards. Now is the time to get those fast growing weeds out before they turn to seed. Are you watering your lawn more but it just keeps getting brown? Bill bugs may be killing your grass, spot by spot. If your grass pulls out by the hand fulls in the dry areas of your lawn, get out the poison. Watch for fungus and other problems. Grasshoppers are also beginning to take their toll. Ask at your lawn-garden supply store for the proper treatment. We have noticed that some people have been putting grass clippings, limbs, etc. out on the street. Unless the rubbish is in boxes or proper garbage cans, haul it to the city jump yourself for this cleanup. Ten free passes to the city dump are available to each residential hook-up-so let's haul it away. Some of you don't have a truck, but with a little planning you could work with a neighbor, or as a neighborhood, to help each other get rid of your unwanted rubbish. A partial load costs the city the same as a full load so make your trips to the dump count. Hopefully issuing tickets will not be necessary to enforce city ordinances that are being broken with regard to dumping trash in the street during unauthroized periods. Please go by the rules. Our city streets department did an excellent ex-cellent job in the April spring cleanup. We certainly appreciate all the extra time and effort to get the job done. "Many hands make light work." The west side of North Main is looking better lately. Notice how much work has been done at the Utah Wild Life Resource (fish hatchery.) It has ' a new paved parking lot, chain link fence, flowers, and lawn. Since the hedge is a land mark of the old hatchery; we are glad to see the old familiar hedge trimmed Continued from page I with MriJBoweVs and present recommendations recom-mendations to the council within the next several weeks. Posting uf thfe new limits will not be done untit1 that, committee makes its recommenijatitfns to the council, said Mayor J, jBrenVHaymond. Action on the raising of speed limits was taken' by the council two weeks ago, on the same night the proposal was presented. Members of the group expressed ex-pressed particular dismay at the council's .not consulting with them before the Change, a matter which drew the one (jissenling vote from Council Coun-cil woman-Berfelson at that meeting. Public notice was not required, explained ex-plained City Attorney Harold Mitchell, because it was not a change in ordinance or-dinance and because the setting of speed limits is an administrative function authorized to the chief of police. . V "Let's at least let the community know," asked one member of the group. "We voted for you; let's work together." Also addressing the council at the meeting, Paul Bowman, 3595 Canyon Rd., said he approved of the council's raising of the speed limit on that road, said he felt comfortable with the higher speeds and did not feel they endangered the safety of the children.
