Escapes From Utah County Jail Merit Inquiry By Blue Ribbon Panel Of Security Experts The escape Friday night of two prisoners from the Utah County Jail - the second such escape In three months-points up the need for a searching inquiry Into the operation and security measures In effect at the jail. At large are Jlmmie Colvin Mathews, 21, Lehi, and Steven Ireland, 18, Salt Lake City, who beat and overpowered Jailer Len Huff of Orem and locked him In a cell during their escape. THREE MONTHS AGO, on Oct. 11, 1965, another break from the Utah County Jail saw four persons overpower another Jailer and escape. In both escapes, the fugitives took from the Jail the property envelopes belonging to the rest of the prisoners, containing an undetermined undeter-mined amount of cash. What happens when a Jail break is reported? Just like in the movies or on TV. All law enforcement officers in the area are alerted, and the search is on for the missing men. In this .instance, the Utah County Sheriffs Department, Provo Police Department, Orem Police Department, Utah Highway Patrol, and other police officers searched through the night for the fugitives. DURING THE INITIAL search period, the hazards to police officers and private citizens are extreme. Any car stopped for questioning and occupants might be one containing the excapees. If they are armed, an exchange of shots can always be expected If they decide to shoot Palsy Drive To Start Jan. 1 7 United Cerebral Palsy of Utah County today announced its annual campaign for funds In the county will begin Jan. 17, 1966, with Mrs. Florelne Krehbiel, Provo, chairman of the drive. Wayne Willier, county UCP president, said recruitment of volunteers to fill various other posts in the county is under way. He said that this year the theme of the campaign is "Happiness is Helping." The theme, he said, expresses good feeling that both volunteers and contributors gain when they give time or money to help less fortunate neighbors. We Dare You take a look at this fei-level home.

Russ Jahn, US Army Recruiter announced an-nounced recently. Sergeant Jahn states that because be-cause of the growing population, faster and better means of transportation, trans-portation, requirements for better bet-ter and safer highways, Increase in housing developments, con- WORLD'S LARGEST MOST TRUSTED MOVERS BAILEY MOVING and STORAGE Representing ALLIED VAN LINES 1000 South State, Orem Ph. 225-4543 k. it out. Innocent by-standers or passers-by run the risk of injury or death in such a situation. Fugitives escaped from jail are desperate men and highly unpredictable in their actions. IF IT IS expensive to house them in jail, it is also expensive to hunt them down. The financial cost, alone, of a jail break is considerable. con-siderable. Calculate the cost of dozens of police officers taken off their routine assignments assign-ments to hunt down fugitives! ' - The fact that two jail breaks have occurred at the County Jail within a three-month period suggessts that certain necessary security measures are lacking. If there is not an upgrading up-grading now of the entire security system at the jail, there may well be other break-outs in the near future. The OREM-GENEVA TIMES urges the Utah County Commission to empanel a blue-ribbon Jail Study Committee, composed of the Utah State Prison Warden, Utah F.B.L Agent in Charge, and police chiefs of Orem, Provo and Sprlngville. Such a commission could evaluate the entire operation of the Utah County Jail and make recommendations to the Utah County Commission Com-mission and Sheriff. The public interest demands that Utah County's Jail facility be so operated so that it can accomplish its important custodial functions with as little danger as possible to jailers, police officers, and the public at large. Two Orem Students Honored At Henager College Two students from this area have been honored for outstanding achievement at a special awards assembly at Stevens Henager College, Salt Lake City. The announcement was made this week by J. M. , Stevens, .college president. The students are: Gayle Griffiths, Grif-fiths, daughter of William E. Griffiths, Orem, Utah, who was honored foroutstandlngperform-ance foroutstandlngperform-ance In typing; and Scot A. Bridges, Orem, who was honored for perfect attendance. Gayle is enrolled in a steno course at Stevens Henager; Scot is enrolled In an accounting course. Students achieving outstanding performance in a particular subject sub-ject are presented with a special awards certificate in recognition of their achievements. Gayle and Scot are graduates of Orem high school. . struction of modern airports and the trend towards shopping centers cen-ters , there is an increasing demand for skills in the operation opera-tion of heavy construction machines. ma-chines. "This is especially true right here in our own state, said the recruiter. Sgt. Jahn added that since the heavy equipment must be maintained main-tained there is also a great need and good opportunities in the field of diesel mechanics. The Army Recruiter emphasized empha-sized that young men should think of their military obligation in terms of learning a skill for the future for their post -service years. Sgt.

The fact of your concern Is In Itself support to us, and we appreciate it It is a source of pride to all of us that we can defend the principles we enjoy as Americans. . However, If you want to assist, you can do so in a positive way. If you can convince the people in America who are misled by the few antagonists of our policies here, that what we are doing is necessary, then you will have aided us. If you will be informed by the news, good books, and com mon sense, you will realize that what we face here must not be allowed to face us on our own shores. Let me tell you about my job, and describe a scene or two, to show you why we must not let the cancer of communism get a foothold in America through our complacency. I am the commander of a platoon pla-toon of Armed helicopters. Each chopper, in addition to a machine ma-chine gunner on each side door, is equipped with four simultaneously simultan-eously fired machine guns, and several rockets, controlled by the pilot. Our job Is to defend the unarmed helicopters used to transport the units on the ground when required. Frequently we are 'scrambled" to go to the aid of an outpost under attack by the Viet Cong, and occasionally we are successful succes-sful In driving them off. Most often however, the outpost Is over-run and the people killed or scattered before then can call for aid. Before I began to fly these helicopters, I was a pilot of the unarmed helicopters mentioned above. On one occasion I helped evacuate over 40 bodies of people murdered by the VC in a sneak attack. Many of the victims were women and children, even tiny babies, and they were killed as mercilessly as Insects. Other times I have had to take out the stunned survivors of a family whose father, a minor village official, was publicly tortured, and then beheaded as a lesson to the local populace that the VC must be obeyed. Most villages in the Mekong Delta where I serve have been sc completely cut off by the Viet Cong that they have only a slanted view of what is occurring in their own country. They are either victimized by false statements, state-ments, or by terrorism Into serving serv-ing the ends of the VC guerillas. There Is hardly a road possible for more than a few miles, because be-cause the VC pirates who openly control much of the delta. The people live in poverty hard to imagine. Although food is quite plentiful, there are few comforts. A palm leaf shack, a home-made spade, a few banana trees are all many people have to subsist upon. And yet the potential richness of the country Is astounding. If a stable government could be established es-tablished and peace restored, 'Mot FllacIhles, 2 Change 2 MSe?

(AML) Box 34 APO San Francisco; Calif 96296 Dear Editor: I'd like to report on the meeting meet-ing sponsored by the Orem Community Com-munity Sportsman Association, Saturday, Dec. 18. The meeting, primarly, was arranged to give those sportsman who have been so unhappy about the Deer hunting, this fall, an opportunity to find out, first hand, just what our true Deer situation is, in Utah, and what can be done to Improve things, for the hunter. We had a Game Management Officer, Conservation Officer, Past President of the Utah Wildlife Wild-life Federation and a State Leg islator at the meeting, to take part in the discussions, and to explain any of the problems that were presented; but; where were all those disgruntled sports man? They were so quick to voice their dissatisfaction and to condemn every one else. Did they show up, and offer to spend a few days helping to re-habilitate some of our depleated Deer Range so we could substain a larger "carry oyer", which would mean many many more deer, the follow. lng years. We had less than a dozen Orem sportsman interested enough to attend. They were well paid for the two hours spent listening to, and taking part in the discussions. The main problems for our deer population is, manpower and money. Sportsman, If they, would join, and support an Organization, could easily furnish the 'man power.' and no one would be refused an opportunity to help. Many Scout Troops are now in-gaged in-gaged in these Range Rehab projects, pro-jects, which, will not, only increase in-crease our wildlife, but improve our water sheds and grazing for livestock, but the need Is for men. The monies, to secure and rehabilitate re-habilitate these ranges, must come from our, Hunting and Fishing Fish-ing Licenses, so; for funds to speed up our Wildlife Recovery, we must support an Increase in HOW MUCH OF THE TOTAL.

For example, that the State Legislature, who were elected by you, have burdened bur-dened our F&G Dept. many un-nessesary, un-nessesary, and unreasonable expenses? ex-penses? To purchase equipment, etc. The F&G specifies the materials they desire, and then, pays the State Purchasing Agencies $10,000.00 a year to make these purchases. Why can't the F&G make their own purchases, and use this $10,000.03 to purchase, and rehabilitate at least another hundred acres of deer range? For the privilege of using the State Radio Channels, used by our sixty Conservation Officers, $100,000.00 for two years, why? There goes funds for another five hundred acres of rehabilitated rehabili-tated deer range a year. Then FIRST r Music Hall Loaded With Local Talent i it's been a busy year at Valley Music Hall in North Salt Lake, Utah's new million dollar theatre round.

There goes another possible 200 acres a year of improved deer range, and another slice of our License Dollar; also, why should the F&G Dept. pay taxes on the lands they secure and improve for the publics pub-lics use? This costs about another $15,000.00 a year and another slice of funds that should be used, for range, down the "Drain. No other State Agency does this.
