Kent Christensen, right served as toastm aster. Mr. Johnston, described the problems that occurred at Glen Canyon Dam last spring as the result of the high flood waters. He said that due to "cavitation," which erodes the dam spillways and caused extensive damage, it was necessary to make some heavy and complicated repairs. The dam level had to be raised in order to stop the water flow thru the spillways. Surveys were then made of the spillways and large parts of the spillways had been eroded, leaving large pieces washed out. Concrete was poured to repair the heavy damages. Mr. Johnston, also exhibited a movie picture of the work being done in order to make the dam safe and ready for this year's heavy flow of water. Thursday evening the Boy Scouts of America will be honored and scoutmasters of Springville will be guests of the club. New garbage pick-up plan announced for iVlapleton By Franklin Nielsen Ideal Waste, serving Mapleton with a garbage pick up schedule on Mondays, has purchased new equipment and will now be serving the community with two trucks. Residents are reminded that garbage gar-bage needs to be put on the curb by 7:00 a.m. to insure pick up. The new trucks are side loaders and may make two passes on each street. Each truck will be operated by one individual and will begin pick Fibertek Continued from page 1 named Verl Shelley Project Supervisor. Don Easton will oversee Quality Assurance and Wayne K. Johnson will manage the contract. The early concepts of survivable external fuel tanks were formulated and tested by engineers who now work with FIBERTEK. Survivable tanks have been designated as a requirement for the newer generation of aircraft assigned to aircraft carriers. Slower flying aircraft such as helicopters are very vulnerable to ballistic damage. Survivable fuel tanks become a very important part of saving human lives as well as airplanes. The FIBERTEK composite tank will have features which will make it unique from more conventional external fuel tanks. For example, the tank will be manufactured primarily of reinforced plastic materials. The selection of fibers and resins will be based on the types of structural loads experienced during the tests or in actual service. During the past week, FIBERTEK was host to over forty representatives represen-tatives of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force at the Preliminary Design Review on the proposed tank. "This meeting signaled the beginning of the program and will be followed by a Critical Design Review meeting to be held in Provo mid-March," stated FIBERTEK President Larry J. Ashton. . FIBERTEK specializes in manufacturing structures of advanced ad-vanced composite materials using filament winding as the primary manufacturing method. The Company is a major subcontractor on the 330 gallon survivable carrier based F-A-18 airplanes. FIBERTEK is wholly owned by TRE Corporation of Beverly Hills, California. TRE Corporation is a primary supplier of strong, lightweight light-weight structures and materials for the Government, aerospace, and commercial markets. FIBERTEK have purchased land to build a manufacturing plant in Springville's Industrial Park. Strawberry water users seeking tax-exempt status Michael Olson Strawberry Water Users Association voted to make major changes in the association's articles of incorporation during the annual stockholder's meeting held Saturday, Satur-day, January 28, in Payson. With a majority of shares represented at the meeting, members voted to establish the association as a nonprofit, non-profit, tax-exempt entity, by declaring that at least 85 percent of all income is from stockholders and is used to offset costs within the association's operations. The group will need to satisfy IRS guidelines in order to get the tax-exempt, tax-exempt, and as an important step in that direction, created three classes of stock, including the present irrigation share stock now in effect. The two new classes of stock are shares that represent any water bought from the Central Utah Status and shares that represent individual electrical power users. Financial expert Tom Parker, explained that the three classes of stock would be set up to include 135,000 total shares at a par value of $1 per share. The Class S shares (Strawberry Water) include 100,000 shares; the Class C shares (Central Utah Project Water) include 30,000 shares; and the Class P shares (Power) include 5,000 shares. BYU preschool labs slated Music, language, creative arts and science are among the courses scheduled for the upcoming preschool labs at Brigham Young Unifersity.

The reason for this is two fold. Ashes that are cold enough to sit in a plastic bag will not cause a truck fire nor blow back into the face of the person loading the truck. The garbage will be picked up every Monday morning, except when the following annual holidays fall on Monday: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, July 24, and Labor Day. The garbage will be picked up Tuesday following these holidays. The first electric lamps used for street lighting were arc-lamps installed in-stalled experimentally in Paris, in 1841.

Utah 84103 'Wvt Got What If Takes" "Your home-owned, independent, bank serving Utah County for over 92 years" Central Banh Member FDIC Currently, there are 69,000 shares of Strawberry Irrigation Project water, each representing an acre foot of irrigation water, which leaves room for a growth of 31,000 more shares if additional water becomes available. Currently, there are no shares of CUP stock, but when such water becomes available, each of the 30,000 shares would represent one acre foot of water. And curently, there are fewer than 2,000 electrical hookups serviced by Strawberry because cities provided power by Strawberry, including Springville, Spanish Fork, and Payson, will each be considered one customer, though they in turn serve thousands of their own electrical customers. Howard Riley, Chairman of SWUA's Power Committee, stated that the main difference these changes will make is that Strawberry may qualify for a tax-exempt tax-exempt status. The association now is taxed 46 percent on any profit it makes through its operations, even though it has been a non-profit organization, using retained earnings ear-nings to offset the costs of providing irrigation service to shareholders. Along with qualifying as a tax-exempt tax-exempt entity, the association may also qualify for Colorado River Storage Project power allocations. Strrawberry has been operating with a CRSP allocation made mnay years before the Internal Revenue Service declared the organization a taxable entity some fiteen years ago. But the allocation runs out in 1989, and Strawberry is concerned about qualifying again when new contracts aredrawnup. Mr. Parker explained that if Strawberry is declared a nontaxable, non-taxable, non-profit organization, it can apply for CRSP power as a coop, co-op, and he noted that indications from informal discussions with Western Area Power Association officials lead him to believe Strawberry could get the CRSP power. mm Nelda Behrmann, financial services representative at the Springville office of First Security Bank of Utah, N.A., has been designated a Certified Sales Professional. In order to become a Certified Sales Professional, the FSR must have worked in the new accounts area for at least six months and have successfully completed the "Success Through Selling" training course. In addition, she must have excelled in sales performance and customer service and demonstrated demon-strated a superior knowledge of products and services. After certification, the FSR's name is placed in a national Certified Sales Professional registry in Denver, Colorado. Ms. Behrmann Behr-mann received a $200 bonus and an attractive desk set.

Strawberry faces year of great changes This may prove to be the most important year in the history of the Strawberry Water Users Association since its inception. Board President J. Ross Nielsen opened the annual stockholders meeting with some pretty grave words last Saturday. First, a complete overhaul of the wording in the articles of the association's by-laws was okayed by stockholders. Those changes affect the type of stock now to be issued by the association and make clear that the operation is non-nrofit, though Strawberry officials insist that it's been non-profit all along, though subject to taxation the past fifteen years. Probably the most important aspect of this is that electrical power users can now be considered stockholders in the association, and their utility fees can now be considered con-sidered income from stockholders. Next, SWUA loses control of the recreational governance of Strawberry Reservoir this summer. The Forest Service will now operate the reservoir and the income derived from that operation will no longer be coming into the association. The association's Recreation Committee will be abolished altogether. SWUA is also losing some 25 percent of its grazing area due to growth of the Central Utah Project, and association members are going to have to find other lands to rent or buy. Along with that, the association finds it necessary to pursue an in terest-free loan in order to repair the diversion dam and power canal that feeds the newly updated power generation plant at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. A figure of $9 million was mentioned at the meeting, and it was mentioned that share assessments would probably have to be raised from the present $1 per share to $2 per share to cover the expense.
