Show Chief Simmons Outlines Police Effort To Kivanis "Last year 50,000 people lost their lives as a result of drinking drink-ing drivers, Orem Police Chief James A, Simmons told members of the Orem Kiwanis Club at their regular meeting held Monday in a local cafe. Chief Simmons demonstrated the use of the Breathalizer which has been in use in the Orem Police Department since 1965 for measuring the amount of alcohol in a person's blood. "I have as much confidence in the results of Breathalizer tests as I do in blood tests," Chief Simmons said. Outlining the organization of the Orem Police Department, Chief Simmons said six officers have been added to the force since last July, bringing the present complement up to 22 full-time officers. Thirteen additonal patrol cars were added to our fleet last fall,' Chief Simmons said. "This allows each officer to have his own car available off-duty, off-duty, as well as on-duty.' Chief Simmons said the Orem Police Department is experiencing experien-cing a 20 percent increase in its work load, both by the month and by the year. Last year we had 10,731 calls, -'yh. .J MSMUSSEN 7 , i vVW ? V'iL. Duni.-iwc log on display GAS FIREPLACES - CUSTOM MADE SCREENS i, inniiin' fill r FEiimiu or... viith Orilw Loun Food 27 12 lb.

He said that in 1972 a total of 1,524 hours of unpaid overtime were put in by Orem's regular police officers, while 4,509 hours were put In by the reserves. Chief Simmons said a city the size of Orem should have one police officer for each 1,000 population. He plans to ask for authorization to hire five additional men this year to bring the force up to a total of 27 men. "By 1980 Orem City is expected to have 50,000 people,' the Chief stated. 'Our police force needs to keep pace with our population." Senior Citizen Volunteer Program Is Announced One of the latest of "Happenings "Happen-ings in Ore m is the new R.S. V.P. Program. RJS.V.P. does not always mean to reply soon. It can also mean enriching your own life by volunteering to help someone some-one else enjoy life more. In this new sense R.S.V.P. stands for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. It is a national program pro-gram that is operated and controlled con-trolled at a community level. It enables men and women 60 years and over to volunteer a few hours of their time each week, for public and non profit service in their community. The purpose of R.S.V.P. is to reduce the boredom, isolation and loneliness that seem to be the greatest evil of advancing age and retirement. One of the greatest needs, of all men and women, is to be needed. When their active years are over this need becomes more acute than ever before. There is an old Scottish saying that can be well applied. "Lord, keep me alive while I am still living," Even though retirement has come to our senior citizens, there are many places where they are still needed and can be of service in the community. They all have skills and experience exper-ience that can benefit others and perhaps in the process, they can acquire new skills themselves. them-selves. No matter what their education, profession, talents or skills, there is a place for them in the R.S.V.P. Program. R.S.V.P. is coordinating these services. Transportation and meals can be arranged for volunteers. vol-unteers. Insurance is provided for each volunteer while on the job or enroute, at no cost to the volunteer. There are many volunteer vol-unteer projects in operation, such as HospitalPinkLadies,Friendly Visitors of the sick & lonely. Telephone Reassurance Volun-. teers, Harmonica Band Entertainment Enter-tainment etc. With so many assignments available, there is sure to be one just right for each of you senior citizens, And re- Savings & Loan Elects llevi Board lAember At the annual meeting of members mem-bers of Deseret Federal Savings and Loan Association held Thursday, Thurs-day, February 15, at Deseret Federal's Salt Lake office, Clarence Clar-ence H, Tingey and Howard W. Hunter were unanimously elected to three-year terms on the Board of Directors of Deseret Federal Savings and Lone Association. Emerson L, Hardy, President of Deseret Federal pointed out that "it was significant to see that the growth of the association associa-tion from year-end 1967 to 1972 approximately equals Its growth for the 15-year period from 1952 to 1967. In other words, we are growing three times as fast as we were 20 years ago." Commenting further on Deseret Des-eret Federal's growth, Mr. Hardy noted the success of the mobile office, indicating that by the end of its first year of operation oper-ation in April, the mobile unit is expected to have generated approximately one million dollars dol-lars in new savings and close to that amount in loans, also. As a result of this success, a second mobile unit was added at the first of this year. Mr. Hardy also made reference to the opening of the Orem branch office in October of last year, and announced that an application for a Salt Lake County branch office had been submitted to the Federal Fed-eral Home Loan Bank and that action on this request should be forthcoming in the next few weeks. member, the will to do is often worth more than the strength.

National Guard Boosts Economy The fact that several units of the Utah National Guard are stationed sta-tioned in the Provo-Orem area has meant some $306,000 to the local economy. That's the approximate ap-proximate annual payroll paid to members of Co. B., 19th Special Forces Group; Co. C, 1457th Engineer Battalion; Btry C, 1st Battalion, 140th FA, most of whom live in the immediate area. The figures, released this week from the office of Utah Adjutant General, Major General Maurice L, Watts, do not include Federal funds used to purchase supplies, spare parts, gasoline, oil, fuel and the like. The unit presently is comprised com-prised of 340 officers and men. General Watts also noted that the National Guard is supported for about 17 of the cost of an active Army unit. In looking at the cost of supporting the Utah National Guard, General Watts pointed out that some $2,850 is spent per Guardsman from federal funds while only $63 in State appropriations is spent per Guardsman. Boy's Club Holds Auction Saturday The Boys' Club of Utah County will auction off merchandise contributed con-tributed by local Provo merchants mer-chants Feb. 24 at 9 a.m. in the West Annex of the BYU Smith Fieldhouse. The sale will continue until "all of the goodies are gone" according to Alan Robinson, executive ex-ecutive director of the Boys' Club. Everything from a '71 Ford pickup to a gift certificate for a Pizza Hut pizza will be auctioned auc-tioned off by Ken Young with the proceeds going to the Boys' Club. According to Errol Burns, president of the organization, all contributions, whether cash or merchandise are tax deductable. The goal," he added, "is $5,000." As a non-profit organization, the purpose of the Club is not to compete with the Boy Scouts and other similar organizations, but to include the boys are are somehow left out of other programs pro-grams and give them a sense of "belonging." The club has an "open door" policy after school and on Saturday, said Robinson, and membership fees are $1 per year. The idea is to get them down here and put some of their frustrations frus-trations to work," commented Robinson. Their frustrations canbe taken out on pool, ping pong, basketball and crafts, he said. Weekly instruction in-struction is given on fencing and swimming, he added. Profits from the auction will go towards remodeling, expanding, ex-panding, and making better facilities facil-ities at a frame house located at 800 E. 256 N. in order to accomodate over 100 members.
