THE ISSUES OF OLK TIME, Policemen Need More Respect With all the harassment and disrespect that a police officer faces in doing his job, why do we' still have people who want to be officers? Some time ago, I had a long talk with a group of Orem policemen. po-licemen. Through their remarks. I learned something aoout what it takes to be an officer. The Orem officers, face a great deal of disrespect from local lo-cal citizens. There are many who call them names when they pass by or vandalize their cars when they are parked. The schools are especially bad, said one officer. There are many young school children who are learning disrespect for the law and its enforcers. , Even the officer's home life is touched by his work. His children are sometimes teased at school because their father is a policeman. On occasions, BY ELAINE ASTON friends have been lost when a man has chosen to join the police force, said another Orem officer. On an even larger scale, there are pressure groups in the nation that constantly attempt to. limit the power of officers. According to a recent newspaper article, one group (the ACLU) is trying to limit the. type of ammunition they can carry. wtth all thp harassment, coupled wim the low salary, why do the policemen stay on? Believe it or not," said one officer, "we like the work." Policemen Po-licemen are the protectors of society, and this feeling of public pub-lic service "gets in your blood." "H ow many people do you know really look forward to getting up and going to work on Monday? Mon-day? Wp do." said, one officer, and the others agreed. In fact, one officer, now on the police force in Orem, gave up a$23,000 job to become a patrolman. Even when an officer is at home' he is still 'on duty." By lis tening to portable monitors in; their homes, they can keep track! of what is going on in the city.' If an emergency arises, they drop everything and rush out to help. One officer stated that he had made it to Springville. in four minutes one day to help another officer who was in trouble. As citizens, we often fail to realize the difficult job a policeman po-liceman has. Of course, none of them are saints; they are just men who have dedicated a good portion of their lives to helping other people. It is important that we learn to respect policemen and teach our children to do the same. After all. have you thought what it would be like if they all quit? By H. T.

CRY H&HINI t Letters to the Editor DEAR SIRS, To whom it may concern, Due to the publicity which has been put out recently by news media and publications made on and by Senator Moss on the Nursing Home in America. I feel it neccessary at this time that the public be told and enlightened on this subject. There hasten a lot of poor sensational publicity as of late. I will be among the first to acknowledge ack-nowledge that there probably have been abuses and neglect in some nursing homes. Apparently most of these sad-situations have taken place in the eastern part of our We here at our nursing homes are trying our very best to provide, proper and professional help. If looks now as though finally we are going to receive some Federal Funds to help us hire and provide for the best services. ser-vices. We have been in business here in orem for almost 18 years at The Ferrell Rest Home and now the family has expanded to the Timpanogas nursing home in orem now open and servicing Orem area for almost 2 years. The nursing home business is not a pleasant business for very many people. It is very difficult dif-ficult to find good professional help who are willing to care for our population. I feel this should be brought to the attention of the public as a public service ser-vice to counter attack Senator Moss' accusations. Please feel free to come and visit our homes at any time and also be willing to make constructive criticism and help us better help our aging populace. Thank you Sincerely Ferrell Beagley and the Beagley Family. LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am afraid that I don't understand un-derstand this nonsence about equal rights for women. I thought that women already had equal rights under the law. I agree that women are being discriminated discrim-inated against and that it should be rectified, but the law already gives women equal rights. U anything needs to be worked for, it is to fight discrimination in the courts as it happens. If a bank or credit union discriminates discrim-inates because of sex, a few times in courtw ould quickly change their attitude. I believe that the attitude of womens rights leaders is actually making it harder for thw omen who are non involved and don't think their way. Anon 'I got my job through the State Department of Vocational Rehabilitation: Another one about the Postal Service!! I guess that books could be written on the follies of the present mail service..un-delivered, service..un-delivered, misdelivered, and late deliveries not to say anything about the discourteous, carriers. Mrs. Roy Hayward wrote that she received December mail in March.hows that for not having received letters known to have been sent on October 31, 1974; November 1,2,4,5th, 1974 which have not yet been delivered? This is the situation I find myself my-self in..I left for my vacation on October 31st and returned November Nov-ember 10th..during this period of time, my husband was either at home or working graveyard and was taking the mail from the mail box. On my arrival home, I was aware that a letter was not ' received which contained a check, I called the person who had sent the same (long distance' and she assured me that she had put sufficient postage on it since she had the postal clerk at her post office weigh the same-none the less, I went to the post office and checked to see if for some reason they were holding the , . letter, they were not holding the same. Within a matter of two days, I learned of five additional casts to the persons sending the same-I continued checking with the post office until about the 25th on November when they told me that tracers should be placed on'the items, I was handed han-ded the Postal Form 1510-six copies-which I stood and filled out using my lunch hour-these were accepted by the employees of the post office. Not hearing: . about the results of these tracer forms, on March 22nd I checked at the Post Office since I was looking for a letter which was sent out of Salt Lake on March 17th and had not received it (this was being held at the Post Office for Postage due-I did not or have not received a notice) and was told that they had no record of a response on the tracers. tra-cers. I wtote to Mr. Weeks, Postmaster on March 24th and received a special delivery letter let-ter March 26th 7:20 p.m. at my home where-in he stated that the recipient t of the mail did not fill out the tracer, it should be the sender., why wasn't I told then? Five of these letters are of value-monitary-the other was information I needed to fulfill ful-fill an assignment:. In the March 26th letter, I was instructed how to handle mis-delivered mis-delivered mail (in the past, we have either delivered it or given it to the postal carrier the next day or deposited it in the mail box for next dav delivery... one such occasion- was airline tickets-this was delivered to the owner rather than for him to suffer suf-fer delay which according to his wuewould have happened)..."well, would you believe, within hours I had cause to follow the exact directions of 'the' postmaster as to obtaining a misdelivered letter and was told in part "that if you dont like our service, why do you patronize us?" I could go on and on and on, but I am sure that each of you have had like or similar experiences, so with those above experiences re lated, I will cease except to say . that I get sick when I hear that the Postal Service is going to have to raise their cost of service...I am probably a lot older than a lot of you, but I am of the generation when a If post card was delivered and a three cent letter could go from Salt Lake City to Richfield in less time than it now takes a 10? letter to go from Orem to Provo or vica versa. Too bad someone doesn't start up a local delivery between our two com-1 munities. Enough Said Leah, Johnson The next time you gel a break, you might consider the origin of the word, which comes from the poolroom. At the start of a game, the balls are racked up in triangular formation. The first player "breaks," and a good break means he pockets some of the balls, a bad one means he pockets none.

A vital piece of equipment! The supervisors and electronic repair men in the instrument shop recognized the need for a backup gauge in case the first one ever failed. This small group then went to work and built a new gauge themselves them-selves at a substantial saving over purchasing pur-chasing one from an outside source. " Bill Cox,Turn Superintendent of the Instalment and Special Services Shop at Geneva, thought the project was a great challenge. . " We decided to build the second gauge ourselves,' he said, uto save money and to see if we could do it. Well, we did it, and we did it together.. .as a team.,, This excellent team effort in building a highly complex and technical instrument is an example of what people can do when they really decide to work together. Teamwork. Its one reason why Geneva is able to compete successfully in the Western Steel market: one reason that helps explain our unique, evergrowing productivity.
