IS Orem's Cleanup Week - May 9-13, by gathering large amounts of garbage to be disposed of in a proper manner. Moil Box Damages Recently there has been a rash of complaints from citizens in southeast Orem about mail boxes being vandalized. van-dalized. (Signetic area). The latest report we received was that four mail boxes all in a row, had been knocked down. We want to point out that this sort of an act is a federal offense and can result in heavy fines and even imprisonment. At times cars get out of control and do such damage, but more often it is the result of some smart hot-rodder hot-rodder or juveniles. We also would like to point out that parents can be held respon-sibile respon-sibile for the acts of juveniles in such matters. Damage to mail boxes by cars should be reported immediately to the police, and if the police are successful suc-cessful in arresting the guilty party, the name and address of the offender should be furnished by the police to the owner of the box, so cost of damage may be pursued. If the public and police would work together a lot of this nonesense would be eliminated. The last time we priced a good-looking mail box the cost was about $30. We urge Orem citizens to alert the police or get the number of the Vehicle or parties name when they witness wit-ness mail boxes being damaged.
