Jack Cook, chairman of the City Planning Commission, reported re-ported that he had met with Leo P. Harvey, president of the Pleasant Grove Irrigation Co., relative to the use of the company's com-pany's pipes and ditches for emergency storm drains. Mr. Cook stated that Mr. Harvey's reaction was favorable and Battle Thank the Lord! There are just a lot of good people in this community who are not too selfish, lazy and indifferent, to "become involved." That comforting com-forting thought hit me right between be-tween the bifocals last Friday evening. Main Street was thronged with youngsters and the young at heart. The stimulus, of course, was the official "turning "turn-ing on of the Christmas lights" for 1966. Also, without any doubt, the presence of Santa Claus, with bis huge .bag of treats for the small fry, had something to do with the success suc-cess of the event, i' Except ithat somebody cared , enough to raise money to buy the beautiful decorations and then work like sin to put them up, Main Street would have been Just another drab, dull thoroughfare during the holi-. holi-. days. , ; . Unless someone had been willing to become financially involved, there would have been no beautiful Christmas tree in front of City Hall this year. Somebody cared, or there would have been no pre-holiday treats for the children once more. And to what good end is 78F 'that such a plan would be, formulated for-mulated soon. Mr. Cook also requested that the membership of the City Planning Commission be increased in-creased from five to seven. The council voted approval of 'the request - and authorized Mr. Cook to submit names to be considered for new members. Glen Smith and Linda Jones, representing the Utah Youth Seminar, met with the council. They asked for financial aid in promoting a "Seminar for Youth" activity set for Jan. 18 a1; BYU Fieldhouse. The council coun-cil voted a donation of $50 to assist in financing the event. Councilman Reed O.

Someone was ready and willing will-ing to become involved, or the beauties " of . the colorful street decorations would begin to fade at twilight. A particular organization or-ganization turns on the lights J and provides free "juice" to operate them. People throughout the community, com-munity, whose numbers are legion, le-gion, are willing to become actively ac-tively involved or there would be no special events and Yule-tide Yule-tide programs at schools, churches chur-ches and social gatherings. Many private homes throughout through-out Pleasant Grove will be beautifully decorated, as 1966 fades into the limbo of past years. Someone is willing and unselfish enough to help the old year out in a glaze of glory. Could be that the true spirit of Christmas is becoming lost in the din of the radio and television tele-vision commercials and the ring of the cash register. However, How-ever, not entirely. People are still willing to celebrate the birthday of the Christ by becoming involved in unselfish services to others. And that's what Christmas should be all about. Isn't it? So long 'til Thursday.
