CHIROPRACTORS PLAN SALT LAKE CONVENTION A convention of the Utah State Chiropractic Association will be held May 17 and 18 1968 at the Rodeway Inn in Salt Lake City, according to Dr. Robert Rob-ert B. Shelton, D.C., association associa-tion president. s I U Signet ics For New The fact that "Good Things Are Happening in Orem was demonstrated again Wednesday with the groundbreaking for the new 70,000 square foot manufacturing manu-facturing plant for Signetics Corp. at 1300 South 800 East. According to William R. Gilchrist, Gil-christ, manager of the local Signetics Sig-netics plant presently operating in a rented building in Provo, a contract for the new Orem plant facility has been awarded toTol-boe toTol-boe Construction Co. of Salt Lake City. EXCAVATIONS STARTED Last week an old home was removed from the Signetics plant site on 800 East, and this week excavations were started for the basement of the new building. The new Orem plant will more than double the floor space of the present leased Provo facility which has some 30,000 square feet. When the first announcement of the Orem Signetics plant was made several weeks ago, company officials said that the total investment, invest-ment, including land, building and facilities, would be about two million mil-lion dollars. . With work already underway on the manufacturing plant, construction con-struction is expected to be completed com-pleted by the end of 1968, Mr. Gilchrist declared. 300 NEW JOBS When the new Orem plant reaches full production early in Citizens Ask Higher Speed Limit On Street A large group of residents living liv-ing in the area round 800 South between State Street and 12Cn West appeared before the Orem City Council Monday night, asking ask-ing that the speed limit on 800 South be increased from 25 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour. Last week a number of residents in the area were picked up by Orem police and given citations for exceeding the posted speed limit. Up until about four years ago the speed limit on 800 South was 40 miles per hour, but when a dead end was made on the street where the interestate freeway crossed it, the speed limit was reduced to 25 miles per hour. NOT ENFORCABLE Dr. Fred Jackman told the Council, 'The speed limit on this street is not enforcable.lt should be changed." Another citizen stated, "Orem City is promoting a complete disregard for the law by having the speed limit on this street set too low." Some citizens alleged that Orem City police cars, as well as other city-owned vehicles, are often seen exceeding the speed limit on 800 South. City Manager Earl W. Wengreen Wen-green told the group that on two previous occasions when residents resi-dents had complained about the speed limit on 800 South the police po-lice had made a study of the matter mat-ter and recommended keeping the speed limit at 25 miles per hour. Sharon Stake Advised On Drink Issue Opposition to a petition to place the question of liquor by the drink on the November ballot in Utah was voiced at the Sharon Stake Conference Sunday in the Orem 12, 32, and 20 Ward Chapel. President Alma P. Burton, who presided at the session, asked members of the stake not to support the petition, in which President David O. McKay has said, 'the true purpose of the measure is to make liquor more easily available." 'If you think that the petition has merit, take it to the Lord and pray about it, but I know that the Lord will not endorse it because it is against his principles," princi-ples," President Burton stated. Another member of the stake presidency, Ray Watters, asserted as-serted that the church should take a stand on the issue because it affects the membership of the church. He cited statistics show Breaks Ground Plant In Orem 1969 an additional 300 new jobs will be added to the Utah County payroll, since the present employment em-ployment of 300 persons a,t the Provo plant is expected to be doubled. A subsidiary of Corning Glass Works, Signetics Corp. today is one of the world's leading producers pro-ducers of integrated circuits for use in aerospace systems, computers, com-puters, and such commercial products pro-ducts as test instruments. THREE PROCESSES Basically, the manufacture of integrated circuits consists of three major processes: Fabrication Fabrica-tion of silicon wafers, assembly of circuits, and electrical testing test-ing to insure conformance to ribid specifications.

Orem Chamber of Commerce officials and members of the Orem City Council hailed the new integrated circuits manufacturing plant in Orem as one of many manufacturing and retail concerns which will be locating in Orem with the resultant expansion of payrolls and a broadening of the tax base. HAZARD AREA Police Chief James Simmons, also attending the meeting, said that 800 South Street is a hazard area as a result of the number of children walking to school on it. "If I -had a child of mine walking to school along this street I would want the speed limit to be set at no higher than 25 miles per hour," he declared. Councilman Robert Dove told the residents that the Council would make a new study of the situation on 800 South and establish es-tablish a realistic speed limit dictated by conditions on the RESOLVE PROBLEM Mayor Pro Tem Paul Washburn, Wash-burn, acting in the absence of Mayor WinstonM.Crawford, said early action would be taken to resolve the traffic problem on 800 South. In other action, the Council approved the original plan of City Engineer Russell O. Brown for construction of a frontage road at 1300 South Street adjacent to the freeway access route.
