LeGrande Jarman A man dedicated to the good of the community is gone. The death of former Mayor T. LeGrand Jarman leaves a vacancy in Orem, for he was a man who backed his words with his deeds and was instrumental in laying the ground work for several major improvements to the city during his administration. He will be sorely missed. LeGrand stepped forward to run for mayor at a time when the post was not sought by many. In fact, in the fall of 1953 not one other candidate appeared. ap-peared. Perhaps the low salary offered of-fered little incentive, but for a man willing to offer his penchant for work to see that good things were accomplished, ac-complished, there was reward enough in the position.

The city's water supply was doubled with a new well at 1500 South and 800 West.

School Fund Raisers Alpine Board of Education has adopted an official policy which defines the number and type of fund raising projects which may be held in the public schools for the district. Titled "The Use of Fund-Raising Projects in the School Setting" the policy was adopted by a unanimous vote during the last business session of the board. According to the document "public education is free and should be supported through revenues derived from statutory school finance finan-ce programs and not by means of slump that has been forecast." Officials contend.it is definitely a market-forced reduction. Holdaway said the International Trade Commission Commis-sion ruled last month that foreign steel being dumped in the United States was injuring the economy. The commission is expected to recommend recom-mend action to President Reagan. In the past two years Geneva has laid off about 1,600 workers due to a depressed steel market and dumping of subsidized foreign steel on U.S. shores. It is hoped thatpassage of the Fair Trade in Steel Act of 1984 will reverse the trend at Geneva. If passed, the Act would limit iron-ore imports to 20 percent of the U.S. market and limit are Howard Chuntz, 980 E. Center, Orem; Ladd J. Black, 137 S. 280 E., Orem ; and Jan C.

Four seeking to replace Dan Fugal of Pleasant Grove, District 3, Religious Freedom Topic Of Public Meeting Thurs. - Congressman Howard C.Nielsen will be the keynote speaker at a meeting Thursday sponsored by the Utah County Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Freedom. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Excelsior Hotel, Grand Ballroom. Admission is free. A buffet is' planned and a series of short presentations presen-tations will be offered by local religious, civic, and business leaders. The committee is a nonprofit, non-profit, nondenminational association of clergy and lay persons. The group was organized in response to recent actions that may put fundamental religious liberties in jeopardy. Cited was the Sileven case in which seven parents and their minister, the Rev. Everett Sileven of Faith Baptist Church (Louiseville, Nebraska), were recently jailed for insisting that their children be educated in a church-run school rather than one run by the state. (Students in the church school consistently con-sistently scored higher than students in state schools on standard achievement tests.) The group feels that in this case, as in others recently, government seems intent on teaching students secular humanism to the exclusion of all other religions.

No fund-raising project shall solicit funds outside of the school's attendance area. Fund-raising projects shall not Lays imported steel products to 15 percent of the domesticmarket. Holdaway also cites problems at the plant. He said, "Many of our people peo-ple are experiencing a lot of trouble with management. The pressure is on us very hard to give some conces-, sions, which we are opposed to doing." In hopes of helping to alleviate the problem U.S. Rep. Howard Nielson, R-Utah, is backing a bill sought by U.S. Steel requiring modernization moder-nization of steel plants in exchange for relief from foreign imports. are : Steve Graham, 9876 Wedgewood Dr., Pleasant Grove; Kenneth C.
