Licenses were issued on a quarterly basis upon request of both parties. Orem City hopes, by the December 31 date, to have completed review of both business busi-ness and beer license ordinances. Review was deemed necessary by the Council in past action because of no clear-cut guidelines guide-lines for approval or denial of licenses. Police Department review finds both establishments in compliance com-pliance with City oridances. They reported no incidents of alcohol law violations. City To Refuse County Jcil Dill City Councilmen established a policy of not paying invoices from Utah County for incarceration incarcera-tion of inmates by Orem City at the Utah County Jail. City Finance Director Alan Homer estimated that these costs run between $100 and $150 per month. Homer pointed out that the financial and operational responsibility re-sponsibility of maintaining the County Jail facility has been given by law to the County. In the past two years costs to Orem City have mounted to $3,000. 't Like a lot of people I like to tell about my operation. However How-ever I feel in a strange way that my telling about my cataract catar-act operation will relieve the minds of some of my readers, whichlknow either themselves or somebody they know is going through theordeal of going blind by cataracts. When you start having eye problems it becomes very frus-terating frus-terating and upsetting to the nervous system and people around you. Three years ago I had one cataract removed, and was pretty well laid up for six weeks. The light hurt me, the chrome on cars in the daylight glared, the lights seemed to look like Christmas Christ-mas decorations at night. After the operation I received a contact con-tact lense, which with my big stubby fingers was about like a bear trying to thread a needle. I was always losing the lense, and calling for help. Then to add insult to injury, I would unconsciously rub it and drop it on the floor in church or some other place. The best place not to drop it however was on the shag rug. I wondered why the lenses could not be floures-cent, floures-cent, or have a beeper on it so I could find it without calling for help. All in all the whole ordeal is not painful in any way, just frusterating. In talking around I find cataracts catar-acts are a common problem especially with older people some of the stories are really funny. One guy lost his contact in the sink. He pulled the pipes loose trying to find it. Several have told about trying to insert their contact and having to get the wife or daughters help even having to call one daughter home from .a ..date Jo. help her faf" put in the glass eye. At times I had to get my wife up at five in the morning to help find my glass eye and get it in the right place. Frusterating for everyone to say the least. As the other eye started to go these problems became more frequent. On August 30, 1977 three years after the first operation I received re-ceived an implant at the hands of Dr. RobertHales. This method had been developed in just three years after the first operation. I must say that the second operation opera-tion was less frusterating, the day after the implant was put in I could see, the light did not bother it nearly as much as the first eye operation. , I am printing this little experience ex-perience in hopes it will give some comfort to people who are facing blindness, through cataracts. catar-acts. Not all patients come out of it as well as I have. But any improvement beats stumbling stumbl-ing around blind. As far as pain I suffered none to speak of, but frusteration there was considerable. But all inall there was nothing to be scared of. Ten weeks almost to the day I received my glasses, and when it comes to reading I have a 20-20 vision and can watch TV without glasses at all, I feel this is pretty darn good for a guy with two artificial eyes. Thanks to modern day medicine.

"The drawings have taken longer than we anticipated," he said, "but we hope to have them available for inspection by contractors con-tractors by that time, with bids going out soon after that." He pointed out, however, that construction will not begin until Spring, because of the weather. Sandstrom gave opinions on two types of filters for the pool to be included in the complex. A.D.E. Filter, similar to one the Provo Recreation Complex is presently removing from their facility, he said, gives superior maintenance. Orem City Council followed recommendations from the Planning Plan-ning Commission and approved the final site plan presented by the University Mall for an office building located at 1200 South adjacent to Wasatch Bank. . The proposed savings and loan company will include 4,000 Utah Apple Crop Derr.snds Pickers A near record harvest of Utah apples will bring an increase in the demand for apple pickers in the next few weeks according to Clyde Spencer, Rural Manpower supervisor for Utah Job Service. Pickers will be mostindemand in Utah and Box Elder counties where tile 'greatest number of apple orchards are located. Spencer Spen-cer stressed, however, that all counties along the Wasatch Front will need additional pickers. Harvest of the expected 47 million pounds of apples begins approximately September 15 and must be completed within 20 days. In addition, continued Spencer, Spen-cer, there is an immediate need for peach and pear pickers in Utah County.

The second type of filter is a sand type, which costs one-tenth one-tenth the price of the D.E. This type of filter may be easily maintained by regular City staff, he pointed out. City Manager Albert Haines said that maintenance costs must be kept at a minimum because "that's what will kill us."

Citizens in that area proposed that 75 East, north of 1083 North be made into a horseshoe-type street, joining onto 50 East. They also proposed that 75 East, south of that area and adjoining an LDS Stake Center, Cen-ter, be made a dead end permanently. per-manently.

Andrew Chrostowski, a former Orem High student who recently moved to Oregon, and a new transfer student from New York, Kimberley Houston, were also named semifinalists in the scholarship scho-larship competition. Orem High had the most National Na-tional Merit semifinalists of any high school in the state, with only three other schools having Plans iplefioEn for all lighting in the facility, which would eliminate individuals "playing" with room lighting. The architect also made a suggestion to enclose one handball hand-ball court in glass, facilitating competition play. "We could enclose two walls in glass allowing an audience and judges to observe players," Sandstrom said. Councilmen alsosuggested that the observation opening at the rear of handballs courts be kept to a minimum in order to keep balls in the court. Plans will be available for inspection by Councilmen and finaldrafts will then be presented pre-sented to contractors probably sometime in early October. by side because of a curve in the northern section of the road. Some 70 residents signed a petition requesting the move on the basis that a through street was not necessary, that children's child-ren's lives would be indangered because of increased traffic and because the City had previously approved the present alignment of the road, possibly causing increased in-creased costs to those residents. Councilman Glen Zimmerman made a motion to have the proposal pro-posal tabled until City staff could study drainage problems and reasons rea-sons for the unusual cut of the street. The motion passed with a three to one vote, Harley Gillman in opposition. Following Tuesday's decision by Orem's Council, Provo will then also vote to put this subject sub-ject on the ballot, following a hearing. Adoption of this ordinance does not create any increase in taxes or insure that such a district, if approved by voters, will even be officially created. The ordinance ordin-ance only allows the issue to be placed on the ballot for public pub-lic consideration. CQsitfGStf more than four, according to Dr. Pyne. Each of Orem's semifinalists will continue in the competition by maintaining high academic standards and by receiving endorsement en-dorsement from their high school principal to the scholarship corporation, cor-poration, he said. Additional materials and information from each student will be sent to the corporation for final judging.
