Sleenblih At Luncheon The Chamber of Commerce listened to advice from Mr. RJ.Steenblik last Thursday at their luncheon meeting in tire Chaim Cafe. Mr. Steenblik, trust officer at Commercial Security Bank, spoke to his listeners about "preserving your estate for the benefit of you and your family." He gave pointers on vhat to do and what not to do with a will. H e said that the average person spends approximately 80,000 hours in his life building his estate, but he is unwilling to take 3 hours to protect it." Mr. Steenblik pointed out that "governmental siphoning" of an individuals estate could be curtailed cur-tailed if that person would take the time to see a competent attorney or tax expert in preparing pre-paring his final settlement. Also at the meeting Judge Merrill Hermansen spoke to Chamber members. The juvenile judge talked briefly on the drug problem in Utah County. The recent cutback of $72,000 from the original $185,000 in drug rehabilitation funds has caused several rehabilitation centers to close down. Judge Hermansen said he is appealing to the public to keep these centers going. Presently there are 300 individuals in the Utah County area being helped for drug problems. Fifty per cent of them are under 18 years of age.

Apparent low bidder was E. Arthur Higgins, of Centerville, Utah, at a bid of $343,873.30. The official engineer's estimate was $366, 098.00. This contract will provide for landscaping along the 4.45 mile section of Interstate 15 through Orem. Approximately 4,000 trees will be planted, including 1,371 Austrian pines, to improve im-prove the appearance of the freeway as well as to screen industrial areas and junkyards from the motorist's view.

PRICE TEN CENTS Democrats Consent To Ballot Democrats of Utah County, through their party chairman, Grant Wight man of Trovo, recently re-cently said they do not wish to delay the ballot process of the coming election by a legal test of candidate eligibility and therefore are notifying County Clerk William Huish they will not protest any ballot he may print. But," Mr. Wight man continued, con-tinued, "We still contend that two Utah County Republican candidates are ineligible, as plainly stated by the law. The law says a candidate must reside re-side in the state three years before filing for an office in the state legislature. This is not the case with Robert War-nick War-nick of Alpine, Republican candidate can-didate for District 14. He moved to Minnesota and did not move back until August 11, 1971. Since he had to file on May 10, 1974, he had not been a resident of Utah three years prior to that date. By state law, he is clearly ineligible, whether the Republicans Repub-licans wish to recognize it or not." "In the case of Bert Fisher, candidate on the Republican ticket for County Surveyor, an opinion of the Attorney General's Gen-eral's office states: to be eligible el-igible Mr. Fisher must be licensed lic-ensed as a land surveyor, which he was not when he filed for office. The Utah County Republican Re-publican party chooses to call this 'just an opinion'. Since the Attorney General's office is Republican at the present time, we feel they are ignoring ignor-ing the legal opinion of a duly-elected duly-elected man required to give it, who is also a member of their own party. Mr. Wightman said the Democratic Dem-ocratic party also wishes to answer the Utah County Republican Re-publican Party's charge that there may be a question on the eligibility of Ernest Dean, Democratic State Senator from Northern Utah County and Minority Min-ority Leader in the Senate. Senator Dean's eligibility has been established by the eight times he has sought office and been elected to the State Legislature," Mr. Wightman said. "He is an employee of the Utah Technical College at Provo, a State Institution, and has been during those eight elections, but the State Legislature Legis-lature contains many members who are employees of State educational institutions. To question Senator Dean's eligibility elig-ibility would be to question the eligibility of every public school teacher in the State Legislature." Leg-islature." Big-0 Tire Open A Big-0 Tire store recently opened in Orenj at 703 N. State. Tom Staker and Don Horton are co-owners of the franchised business. Both men have attended the Big-0 training center in Denver. Den-ver. Big-0 is a nation-wide chain involving over 700 stores with 32 new buildings under construction at this time. The store has a large selection selec-tion of tires for every car, and specializes in wheels for the 4-wheel drive. They are also known for their quality re-treads, and their selection of new and used tires. They boast a carpeted showroom, show-room, gas fireplace and attractive at-tractive facilities for the comfort com-fort of their customers. In addition, all Big-0 tires have a guarantee lasting for the life of the tire. It includes free replacement, free rotation, free valve stems, free wheel balance (weights included) and a free flat tire service. There is no service charge or interest added on the cost of the tires. They also will finance for 6 months with no down payment necessary. Tom has been involved with tires since he was five years old. His family is also involved in the tire business. He and his wife, Lynda, live in Orem. Don and his wife Sandy also reside in Orem. A Public Hearing pertaining to city regulations for improvements im-provements and installations that take place on Orem streets and right-of-ways will take place on November 22 at 8p.m. in the Orem City Center. A proposed ordinance before the City Council will require that all contractors and utilities acquire a permit from the City Engineer (or his appointed representative) rep-resentative) before they can execute improvements on city right-of-ways. Prior to the issuance is-suance of any permits, all contractors con-tractors will be required to receive annual approval by submitting sub-mitting evidence of a current Utah State Contractors license and proof of comprehensive general liability insurance. City Engineer Russell Brown has said the new ordinance would give the city a recourse against neglegent contractors. In the past, contractors have been hired by developers, and have not always been responsible respons-ible to the city. "Many improvement improve-ment jobs in the city have been left half-done, or have been done improperly. Contractors have sometimes claimed that they agreed to do a job, but not to clean up after themselves. them-selves. This new ordinance would make contractors responsible re-sponsible to the city," said Mr. Brown. The contractors who will be affected by the proposed ordinance ordin-ance will be all persons, firms, partnerships, associations, corporations, companies, or organizations that are involved in making improvements or installing in-stalling utility lines in city right-of-ways. The kinds of improvements" the ordinance speaks of are those involving curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street pavings, culverts, irrigation ir-rigation pipings, boxed, and so on that are placed in public right-of-ways. The proposed ordinance states that an emergency exists ex-ists in Orem, and it is in the interest of the peace, health and safety of Orem that the proposed ordinance takes effect. ef-fect. y.VJ.

Studded Tires Become Legal Oct. J5-Alor. 31 As the winter driving season approaches, the Utah State Department De-partment of Highways reminds motorists that the use of studded tires is permitted in Utah only from October 15 to March 31. The 1973 Legislature, insetting inset-ting these dates, also levied a tax of one dollar per tire or one cent per stud, to pay for some of the damage the studs do to Utah highways. The use of tire chains "of reasonable proportions" is permitted per-mitted when required for safety because of snow, ice or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid. Snow tires without studs may be used at any time, and use of snow tires and chains may be required under particularly severe conditions. Radial tires are not acceptable as a substitute sub-stitute for snow tires where a requirement for snow tires is posted.
