Fewer flights and full planes mean more delays, missed connections and canceled flights. Driving is simply more convenient and less hectic than Hying and with improved gas prices, the cost of driving is a much better deal. The cost for a family of four traveling by car is about the same as one person traveling by air. Beside the obvious savings, sav-ings, going by car offers a number of other advantages advantag-es over flying, including: Individual Responsibility Editor: My name is Gerald N. Andersen, a Navy veteran of World War II, living m Lindon, Utah, with an abso- lute conviction that in every government meeting since world War II of any kind, in any town, city, state, or nation, we have lost one or more of our freedoms. I recommend limiting as many new laws as possible, and talk about freedoms. The solution is that every person in government, all church denominations, every ev-ery parent in the homes, everyone ev-eryone in business, all universities, uni-versities, private schools, . high schools, education on all levels-all responsible understand the urgency of doing so.

These changes included minor wording changes to Title 18 regulations regarding "blocking or impeding public streets, sidewalks, and park strips."Particular attention was paid to that part of the ordinance requiring re-quiring a 36-inch clearance around mailboxes in sidewalks. side-walks. The council decided to add "the greater of 36 inches or in compliance with the ADA" (American Disability Association) and discussed enforcing this regulation by means of letters let-ters sent to home owners who are currently out of compliance. Title 18 was also amended amend-ed to allow for flags and flag poles in all areas. The purpose of the ordinance was explained as "we just didn't have one on the books, and now we will." Flag poles in residential zones may not exceed the ies allowed in commercial zones, flagpoles may be up to 200 feet with a conditional condi-tional use permit. The "accessory apartmenf'Dportion of title 18 was amended to include in-clude specific definitions of "related" and "family" as far as determining eligibil ity for single family dwell- ings.

The plant was originally set up to supply concrete for the MaDleton water tank Droi- ect. Clement described tne dust control measures used at the plant and stated that it is in a secluded location, would supply increased revenue to the city and is environmentally friendly. Clement said, "It's a brand new plant with all the latest and greatest as far as emissions. We have 12 mixers and a daily volume vol-ume of up to 480 yards. The top soil will all be pushed back when we leave." A motion was approved to allow the plant to continue con-tinue to operate until the nearest home in the proposed pro-posed subdivision is occupied. occu-pied. The city requirement of a 20 percent durability bond to be posted by developers develop-ers to insure completion of the entire subdivision was discussed.

Ramon Glen Foster, Vut0 i Giving tliis Oiristmas At a time when our economy isn't so good, many have lost their jobs and some businesses have closed, Christmas Christ-mas might not be what it ought to be for some of our citizens. They may need help from you and me. It is time to step up and help those about us this year, those who find themselves in a financial situation preventing pre-venting the purchase of gifts or food. One of the ways we can do that is to give generously to the Kiwanis Sub-for-Santa food drive on Saturday, Dec. 6. Each year members of the Springville Kiwanis Club conduct this food drive to make sure many members of our community have a box of food, and maybe some presents or gift certificates that they might need. The club generously purchases gift certificates for the most needy families in our community. They do this from money they earn at the Art City Days scone booth. They are asking those who are able to give generously of non-perishable food and hygiene products. Put a sack or sacks full of your donations on your front porch by 8 a.m. on Saturday or bring your donation to the Springville Spring-ville Armory just north of Springville Jr. High, north door. They will also take donations of money or gift items, toys, etc. Whatever you have to share will help someone else. All of the donations stay in this community. Working through IDS bishops, the Kiwanis Club is made aware of those in need in a "LDS ward area" whether IDS or not. They box up the donations and the bishops then come and get what they need and deliver the boxes to those in their ward area. Christmas is a time of gift giving. The event we celebrate cele-brate is the example of perfect giving. What better thing can we do than to give of ourselves by helping others! Please give generously on Saturday to the Kiwanis Sub-f Sub-f or-Santa drive.
