"That reduces costs and helps us keep our rates low."

As a concerned citizen and parent I am making an appeal to the person (I hear it is privately owned) or people that own the parking lot in front of Deseret Industries and the cleaners. Last evening my daughter, taking a TV set to the Deseret Industries, hit the red cement pillar that was once a light pole, but now is a very dangerous obstruction. Yes, she is a very good driver and yes, she knew it was there, but you only have to divert your eyes for a second and bang. In a four wheel drive you are already higher than in a car. Although I'm sure after looking at it that it has been hit many more times than once. Fortunately for her, the only thing that Local Jaycees Chapter Organized Vernon Provost, 49 N. 775 E., American Fork, has been elected president of the newly-chartered American Fork Jaycees. Provost, a draftsman for P.M. Drafting in Salt Lake, was elected to head the American Fork chapter of the worldwide young men's leadership training organization at its organizational meeting last Thursday. Rick Williams of 695 N. 535 E. in American Fork was elected vice president. He is an accountant with Hunter and Little. Bill Cox of 645 N. 600 E., a counselor at the Utah State Training School, was elected secretary-treasurer. The group voted to set its regular general membership meetings on the first and third Thursday of each month.

Unfortunately for the truck it was severely damaged and had to be towed away. The thing I am trying to get over is that if she had hit this "thing" head on or going very fast she could have been critically injured or worse. Is that what is going to have to happen before someone has the good sense to remove it. This is a busy parking lot. The policeman himself made the statement, "I don't know how many more are going to have to hit it before they do something about it" It seems to me there are grounds here for a good law suit. G.

Men's Reg. $39.99 TALENTED WORKERS make ready thousands of candy items for shipment all over the U.S. Candy Shop Offers Sweet Fantasies As you enter a rather small sweet shop in Alpine, there is nothing that seems usual at first. But as you look around at some of the exquisite things it has to offer, you begin to realize that this is no ordinary candy store. Ken Matheson and his wife Marlene have just opened "Sweet Fantasies" at 117 East 200 North, Alpine. It's their own version of Willie Wonka's wonderful chocolate factory. The unique business began 11 years ago when Marlene started making small sugar Easter eggs, the kind you can look into. She made a few as a hobby and sold them from their home in Denver, Colorado. After moving to Salt Lake, the couple began selling the sugar eggs to retailers, but were soon asked to do more. Soon, requests were coming in for small candy flowers and other varieties of icing decorations. The real turning point came when the Mathesons attended a candy convention in Chicago about six years ago. People were amazed at their hand-crafted cake and their icing decorations. The Mathesons hired a broker who soon accumulated several thousand dollars worth of orders. Today the shop sells to stores throughout the country such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, the entire J.C. Penney chain and ZCMI. They have representatives on-both coasts and throughout the In-termountain In-termountain area. Said Marlene Matheson, "We didn't expect to grow this much or this fast. It's a delightful business and it's fun to attend the different candy conventions and see the many excited reactions of the people as they watch our hand-made processes and our unique designs and decorations."
