Included will be such safety hazards as faulty and Overloaded electrical wiring, home heating equipment, dangerous dan-gerous stairways and accumulations accum-ulations of flamable materials', particularly in basements, garages gar-ages and storage areas. "The fact that 65 per cent tof fires in the United States occur in the homes, points up the necessity of home safety, with respect to fire hazards," Mrs. Harvey said. She also pointed out that two-thirds of the people who die as a result of fire, lose their lives in their own homes. There is no charge for this inspection service; but inspections inspec-tions will be made only at the request of home owners. Those interested in having their home finspected are invited to contact Fire Chief Ford West, phone 785-4137. Battle Amen to that. Our congressional congress-ional delegation, Messrs Ben-net, Ben-net, Moss, Lloyd and Burton, have come out flat-footed a-gainst a-gainst raising their own salaries to the tune of $12,500 a year. This is certainly one "political stand" that will meet unanimous unan-imous approval of every sane-tninded sane-tninded citizen of the sovereign state of Utah. .'. According to a bill reported out of committee last week, certain cer-tain of the U.S. Senators and Representatives think it would ' be a good thing to raise their own yearly salaries from the present $22,500 to $35,000. This is an uppance of more than 50 per cent. In order to grease the ways for the passage of the treasury-looting bill, the cagy solans have made it a part of a piece of legislation, which would raise the pay of postal and other federal employees by six per cent, plus, according to NEED. Those who need it most would get the least. Judging by the poor record of the current congress, some folks have the idea that congressmen con-gressmen are lazy. Well sir, they may be lazy, but they're not dumb. Don't know how many federal feder-al employees there are at present pres-ent But there must be millions. . Knowing human nature as they do, the greedy law-makers real- "Pleasant Grove, fie Most Beauilfully Situated City In Utah County" VOL LIX, No. 45 PAUL ADAMSON High vote getter Two incumbents and one first time aspirant were elected to positions on the Pleasant Grove City Council in Tuesday's municipal mun-icipal election.

The event is set for 7 p.m. at the Jaycee Community Club House, west of Pleasant Grove on Highway 91. Special musical numbers will round out the program, pro-gram, according to A. B.

As to Veterans Day in general gen-eral Commander Duvall urged all citizens and public and business bus-iness institutions to fly the American Am-erican flag from sunrise to isunset on Nov. 11. Said he, "No American Flag . is never obsolete, even if it does not have 50 stars in the field of blue. Regardless of its age, if clean and in good condition, the flag is official." Creek m M ByK.1 ize that many, many federal employees and their wives, sisters, sis-ters, cousins and aunts, will favor fa-vor giving a loaf to the congressmen, con-gressmen, if Uncle Sam's other employees can get a slice. But to the taxpayers on the "outside" "out-side" it seems like petty pol-tMcs pol-tMcs spelled with a capital "P." From what this writer has been able to observe, most of the national Senators and Representatives Rep-resentatives have been running scared ever since last January. Most major bills on their agenda agen-da pack so much political wallop wall-op that the majority of the members are afraid to touch them, even with asbestos gloves As a result, the current congress con-gress bids fair to go down in , history as the "Do Nothing Session Ses-sion of All Time." So with their slothful record staring them in the face and the promise of a near-record treasury deficit as a kick in the pants, the request for a 50 per ' cent increase in yearly pay seems more than asinine. It's an affront to the-American people. If members of Utah's con-- con-- gressional have the "guts" to stick to their slogan of "no pay raise this year," they deserve de-serve the commendation of every ev-ery taxpayer, nationwide. Let us repeat again for the sake of emphasis, "Amen to that." So long 'til Thursday. Adamson, Elected P.6 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1963 REED 0. WALKER Incumbent reelected Walker .
