Mr. Joslin was commissioned by the Orem City Council two months ago to draw up an ordinance ord-inance which would effectively deal with obscenity in the community, com-munity, following the exhibition at a local drive-in theatre of an "R" - rated film which citizens petitioned against. In reviewing the proposed ordinance ord-inance Tuesday night, Mr. Joslin told the Council, "This ordinance Library Holds New Speed Reading Class A Speed Reading Class sponsored spon-sored by Orem City Library and Alpine Adult Education will start Thursday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. The class will run from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays for a period of seven weeks.

We are not just fighting obscenity. We are trying to get judges to enforce laws which have been on the books for generations." "There is no. more effective obscenity ordinance in the country coun-try than this one," Mr. Joslin stated. He stated that under the proposed pro-posed oridnance obscenity is defined de-fined as a public nuisance, 'as well as a crime. It provides a minimum fine of $299 and a sentence of five days in jail for convicted offendors. Explaining that the ordinance provides for the establishment of a nine-member Commission of Public Decency, Mr. Joslin said this body would function as an information-gathering group with no power of censorship. Acting on the advise of City Attorney Butterfield who said, "Don't procrastinate action on this," the Council nearly brought the ordinance to a vote. However, How-ever, Mayor Winston M. Crawford Craw-ford asked that action on the ordinance be. delayed in order to give a committee of LDS Stake presidents an opportunity oppor-tunity to review it first. "We have been working on this problem for at least 10 years," the Mayor stated. " "Another week won't be critical." crit-ical." In other action the Council voted to increase the wages of some 26 employees working since July 1 under the Public Employment Employ-ment Program for Orem City.

OREM The announcement that Salt Lake City was the leading United States Candidate as a site for the 1976 Winter Olympics has caused a great many discussions both for and against Utah trying to be host to this big event. Below are a few opinions from Orem citizens; I am a little afraid it would be more than we can afford. - Sherm Howard, retired business bus-iness man. I have some reservations, I think we should examine it very close in regards to the overall impact, and the cost. Boyd Erickson, SteelPlantEn-gineer. SteelPlantEn-gineer. "The games have lost their luster as a prestige builder for a community after the last incidents in-cidents in Germany. Regardless of the cost, it still comes out of the taxpayers. After the enormous enor-mous cost that Japan encountered, encounter-ed, I think we should pass. Gilbert Gil-bert Jensen, Orem businessman; Mgr. of Imperial Enterprises and former manager of Utah Valley Builders. I think Mayor Jake Gam is on the right track; if we can get it and set our own conditions, I would go along.- If it is to cost any great mount, I am against it. --Glen Zimmerman, Educator, member of Orem City Council. The Olympic games should creat unity throughout the world, but when politics enters in it loses its original purpose. I would not be in favor of using the Utah tax dollars to stage the games. Stan Leavitt, educator, and member of the state legislature. I can't get excited about bringing bring-ing the Olympics to Utah. We are not ready for them. - - Parlell Peterson, athletic director at Orem High school, and recreation director of Orem City. I think the Olympic games would be fine, but where would all the money come from? - -Fawn Huish, Orem businesswoman business-woman and housewife. I am against bringing the games to Utah. The marks it would leave on Utah and the riff raff that would follow the games, would not be good for our state. Emil Hansen, former Orem mayor, Stan Watts Speaks in Logan Athletic Chairman Stan Watts of Brigham Young University will be featured speaker at a dinner for BYU alumni, friends, and parents of students in LoganSat-urday, LoganSat-urday, Jan. 20, prior to the BYU -Utah State University game.

In march 1972 Stan Watts relinquished the helm as head coach of the BYU basketball program, pro-gram, a position he had held for 23 years, to Coach Glen Potter. Chairman Watts took over as BYU basketball coach in 1949 and his teams won the NIT championship cham-pionship in 1951 and 19G6 and took eight conference championships. Declaring that "the challenge of this past year is but a mirror image of what lies in the immediate im-mediate future," Orem Mayor Winston M. Crawford threw his hat in the ring for re-election this fall at the conclusion of his "State of the City" message delivered de-livered Tuesday night in the Orem City Center at the regular Orem City Council meeting. Mayor Crawford said, "This is not an official announcement, but if my health stays as good as it is, and I can get the approval of my Company U.S. Steel Corp. whicli has been very good to let me serve as Mayor, I just might consider running again for this office, if the people want me. Reviewing the growth in 1972, Mayor Crawford said, "Orem City is growing at a dynamic pace. This past year we have witnessed perhaps the greatest and most significant growth in our community's history. "Increasingly, families, businesses bus-inesses and industries are recognizing the quality of life which may be enjoyed here in Orem. The overpowering problems prob-lems in other cities and the natural beauty of this vaUey have been major factors in bringing literally thousands of new people into our city. "The population has risen to approximately 30,000 - up 4,267 from the 1970 census. Construction Construc-tion of homes and businesses has proceeded at a tremendous rate. "In the past two years total valuation has increased at a rate of $17,000,000 annually. Seven hundred forty building permits were issued in 1972, representing represen-ting 48 new business establishments establish-ments and 467 new living units." Mayor Crawford said, "The University Mall began operation with the opening of ZCMI. K-Mart K-Mart is building a four million dollar mall to open this spring. Many new stores, restaurants and other places of business have made Orem their new home. The Mayor announced that Weldon Larsen, former manager of the Valley Fair in Granger, has been appointed as manager of the University Mall in Orem. Commenting on the challenge new growth brings to Orem, Mayor May-or Crawford said, "The kind of growth we are experiencing coupled with an increased demand for the highest quality city services ser-vices has placed tremendous" Adult High School Registration Next Mon.

Phil Shumway, stake president, will be in charge and will be assisted by counselors Arden Rowley and Stan Leavitt. Saturday night leadership meetings will be held in the Orem 4th and 27th ward chapeL On Public Hearing January 23 Qn Sevier Connection Fees There will be a special public hearing Tuesday January 23 at 8 p.m. in the Council Chambers regarding changes in the sewer connection fees proposed in a recent City Council meeting. The recommendation was that present sewer connection fees be increased by $100 each. This means that the present connection connec-tion fee of $225 for residents to connect only a line laid by the city would be raised to $325. In an area where a builder installs the sewer line himself, a $100 connection con-nection fee would be charged per living unit. In multiple unit connections where the previous charge was $225 regardless of the number of hookups made, the new ordinance calls for a $325 connection fee for the first unit and $100 per Mayor Winston Crawford responsibilities on city government. govern-ment. "Meeting the challenge of this growth while maintaining and increasing the level and quality of city services, while making difficult diffi-cult decisions as to the future of Orem has been our central goal, even making difficult decisions as to the future of Orem has been our central goal. Along these lines I would like to bring to your attention the facts concerning the efficiency of Orem City government," Mayor Crawford stated. "The Orem City mill levy of 23.11 has not been increased in six years, and remains this year at a level well below that of ten years ago. In addition, Orem City operates with fewer employees employ-ees per thousand population than any city of significant size in the state." Concerning goals of the city administration, Mayor Crawford said, "Let me list for you the objectives we have followed to obtain a goal of effective administration admin-istration and systems through which citizens will be fully and equally served: 1. Intengrity in aU administrative admin-istrative actions and financial transactions. 2. Full cost consciousness and cost controL 3. Application of sound, effective effec-tive personnel and management practices. 4. Continual review and upgrading up-grading of city services. 5. Effective communication and responsiveness to all individ- of age and younger may register for all classes for a total of $10.00.

Junior Sunday School will meet in the County Building directly across from the Tabernacle. Sacrament meetings will be held at regular times in the various var-ious wards. unit for each additional unit con nected. ' The city council has indicated that they desire public comment prior to signing of the ordinance, although the City Manager said the law does not require a public hearing on such matters, in our size city. Contractors and other interested inter-ested citizens are invited to attend this public hearing. City Treasurer LaMont Royer said the income from the proposed hike would partially offset off-set the revenue which will be lost with the probable reduction of the water-sewer fees from $3.90 to $3. Also scheduled the same evening even-ing at 8:30 p.m. there will be a public discussion of the possible uses for the federal revenue sharing funds allotted to Orem City uals and organizations. 6. Competent and effective administrative processes. 7. Provision of high quality public facilities and services throughout the City." Mayor Crawford continued: "In keeping with these objectives we have implemented or are working towards the following: 1. Reorganization of the structure struc-ture of our city governmental organization, reducing the number num-ber of department heads from 15 down to four. 2. A program providing each patrolman a police vehicle for 24-hour 24-hour use. This has greatly increased in-creased the ability of our police department to respond to emergencies and increased the visible enforcement 'of laws. 3. Purchase anEVO sanitation system. This wiU vastly improve the quality, efficency, and reduce the costs of operation of the sanitation san-itation service. 4. Presently working towards the installation of a computer to facilitate budgeting, planning, record keeping, and cost and program controls. 5. Significant improvements to the Water and Sewer systems. sys-tems. 6.

The Neighborhood Park program has been continued with the construction of the Cherry Hill Park and Sharon Park. 8. Land has been purchased and plans developed for a Center City Park. 9. As soon as the City Shops are moved, we will beautify the upper park area east of the ball diamonds. 10. Improvement and beau-tification beau-tification of Center Street from State Street, east." Mayor Crawford said, "The Utah County Planning Officeproj-ects Officeproj-ects a population in Orem in 1980 of 55,800. After a careful review of the five-year capital improvement improve-ment and personnel needs of city departments and projections of revenues over this same period, it is clear that the challenge of this past year is but a mirror image of what lies in the immediate immed-iate future." The Mayor concluded: "The following are areas of concern to the city which I feel need to be fully explored and difficult decisions made. 1. Major improvements to the Water and Sewer system, including in-cluding expansion of the wastewater waste-water treatment plant and construction of new lines. ' 2. North End Fire Station. 3. Development of City Center Park. 4. Senior Citizens facility. 5. Completion of our City Center building. 6.

Now, on the eve of the Cougars' trip south, it looks more like a frantic battle among the league cellar dwellers. Thus this week's swing -New Mexico on Friday night, UTEP on Saturday night - is producing additional anxiety in the Cougar camp. The Lobos, who rattled off nine straight wins before losing, are always tough in the pit, while the El Paso-Miners Paso-Miners have yet to lose a WAC game on their home court. There is no way the Cougars can expect to benefit from the upsets in Arizona which leftboth New Mexico and Texas- El Paso with identical 0-2 records But BYU's own 1-1 mark puts the Beehive team in a position of starting from scratch again. Coach Glenn Potter will have only two or three practice sessions sess-ions to work out the wrinkles in BYU's game. Gates Planned To Stop Deer Losses Smashed deer and car grills may soon be reduced on Utah highways by wildlife research aimed at thinning the 1,500 deer-vehicle deer-vehicle accidents in the Beehive State each year. Recent studies in Colorado have shown that a new type of oneway one-way deer gate used in conjunction with 8 foot deer-proof fences win substantially lower deer losses due to highway traffic. The gate is designed so deer may easily pass through in one direction but their movement is impeded in the opposite direction. |
