Show THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, Thursday, Oct. 10, 1968 1 Petty 1 By Betty G. Spencer The storage space in most houses must have been planned by a man. It is inadequate for almost every woman I know. For instance, most men think that if a woman has four or five kitchen drawers she has scads of room. The thoughtful planners who provide say seven or eight think th little woman ought to be smiling in delight. But they aren't! Yesterday I had a little difficulty diffi-culty In closing my "junk' drawer draw-er in the kitchen cabinet. I sort of scattered things around and tried again, but still no luck. In a situation such as this, I did what any red-blooded American woman would do. I cleaned the drawer. Well, I rearranged the contents. There was nothing I could throw away! Alan needed only two more cereal cer-eal package boxtops for the pedometer pedo-meter he has been Itching for, so I had to keep the ten on hand. They looked pretty neat stacked against the clean drawer bottom. Then I counted out the 'proof of purchase" pur-chase" seals from the Post Company. Com-pany. Marsha is saving these for storybook dolls for herself and matchbox cars to trade to a neighborhood neigh-borhood youngster. They fitted in nicely, too. Then I counted my Betty Crocker coupons again and found that I was still a few short and would have to go on collecting until I had the 400 needed for a three quart covered combination cooker I am yearning for, plus the six quart dutch oven I need before Thanksgiving. When I have the coupons, then I'll have to start saving money, but that's another story. As I sifted through the contents I put back the store coupons, after all, they save a shopper plenty of money. Then I returned our 30 rnpty Kool-Aid packs which the kids swear can be traded for a Frizbee. I couldn't throw out the Chevron Island cards, either, until un-til I ask my teenager if the contest con-test is over. .' . ' ' ,' I still thought that something could be discarded,, but. knew it wasn't going to be. the pffer for beautifully scented personalized stationery, printed op. fins quality vellum paper with our name and address in blue. I'd need that for only sixty .cents,-. " , . . , Next I retraced a box contain ing assorted nuts, bolts and screws. I don't know what they go to, but my husband would need one the very dayii'&eywere hauled away by our efficient "garbage collectors. Ditto the zipper ease stick we've had in the drawer for seven years and the carpenter's pencil left over from building the house. I didn't even hesitate as I saved the Instructions for threading thread-ing new cord in a traverse rod, the six blue and four white birthday birth-day candles, tJthough nobody in our family will ever see nine years old again. And after all, I consoled myself as the drawer began filling up again, a woman's got to have someplace to keep scotch tape, the best half ofabro-ken ofabro-ken stapler and the filled check-bock check-bock registers. I knotted the string I have been saving to tie some distant package pack-age and squeezed it tighter into the small box which holds the empty Ink bottle, emery boards, Ink cartridges, the pencil sharpener shar-pener and a box of steel points. The offers were arranged into neatly labeled envelopes, with "Needs Money' and ' Free" so that I wouldn't miss any goodies the checkbook was carefully placed on the top layer and I was In business again. Such a joy to open the drawer and see my treasures arranged in neat little piles, really brings out the homemaker in any woman. I managed to lighten the piles, a little, discarding seven sheets of the narrow paper with recipes that appealed to me when I cut them out, but look too mundane in the cool light of an October morning. One more coupon collection col-lection and I'm going to need another drawer, however. Won der if I could move the box of Gold Strke Stamps and put the Gift Stars In a smaller envelope? Wish I'd Said That "If you have been warned not to take any wooden nickels, nick-els, you might like to know that a lumberman has now figured out that the lumber in today's wooden nickel is worth seven cents."

Mr. Weilenmann' s whirlwind tour was highly successful, according ac-cording to Democratic officials.

The candidate spoke very highly high-ly of the reception accorded to him in American Fork Saturday. Strides Made in Coin Telephones ', How smart does a phone have to be? Pretty smart if it's a coin .telephone. According to Dick Young, sales manager for Mountain Moun-tain States Telephone . Company, Utah has more than 2,600 public yliunes plus additional portable units which are set up for large crowds. '. , No phone , is ' vandal-proof but Western Electric, manufacturing manufac-turing and supply unit of the Bell System, tries to make them rugged rug-ged and , accurate so the public gets the service' it pays for. The health and honesty of each new phone is checked before it goes into service. Like a healthy baby, the coin phone should make noises. It rings and, of course, reproduces voice sounds, it also should ' beep' after being fed. The beeps come from the phone's electronic accountant called a totalizer, and they signal whether nickels, dimes or quarters quar-ters have been used. The totalizer is examined under a jeweler's magnifying glass for Imperfec tions. If it passes scrutiny, Western Wes-tern Electric employees further test it by dropping coins through it while listening to its beeps with earphones. At the same time they check an oscilloscope to see that the duration of each beeps meets a tolerance of a few thousandths of a second.

Haws Durfey, George Hatch and Jesse Spafford, from left, view newly constructed safety lane located adjacent to the Hatch Building on Main Street. The lane will provide a safe walkway for patrons of the 100 car parking lot located to the east and the rear of the business houses. New Safety Walkway Installed at Parking Lot on A. F. Main Street A six-foot walkway has been installed adjacent to the large parking lot on the south side of Main Street for the convenience of shoppers in the downtown area. The walkway was installed as part of the first phase of a safety and beautification project in the area and is wide enough to accomodate accom-odate strollers, baby carriages, or wheelchairs. A strip of concrete con-crete separates pedestrians from parked cars along the east side of the lot. The walkway is located adjacent adja-cent to Hatch Jewelry and Durfey Dry Cleaners, extending the length of the building. It is the latest safety feature to be installed in the 100-car parking area according to Mayor F. Haws Durfey and George Hatch. Overhead lights were in stalled earlier, making it safer and more convenient for shoppers and businessmen in the parking lot. A portion of the parking area is used extensively by businessmen business-men and their employees, many of whom will not be leaving their businesses until after dark with the coming short days of the winter win-ter months. By parking in this area they also leave Main Street parking strips for the convenience of shoppers. The lights were provided by merchants on the south side of the street, includingGene Harvey Chevrolet, Hatch Jewelry, Mode 0 Day, Jorgenson Upholstery, Stan's Shoes, Bradshaws, Durfey Dry Cleaners and Sprouse Reitz. Mayor Durfey noted that the Extension phones belong in your design for modern living. The choice of styles and colors is wide. The cost is low. If you want your phone to ring where you are-instead of where you aren't-just call us or ask a telephone man.

He went on to say that these organizations are the backbone of America. He said that the men in these clubs need to be good salesmen to sell Utah Valley to new prospective businesses and he gave a few qualifications for being good salesmen. He continued saying that people who are thinking about establishing establish-ing a business in this country, need facts on why they should settle here. UVIDA has the facts they need. One business that employees 100 people would make employment for 359 more people in the area. 'What can we do to get business bus-iness to come here? First we can reduce taxes. Then set up a tax structure that does not penalize business. He showed how taxes have increased from 137 million in 1963 to over 200 million in 1968. Employees In state government govern-ment increased from 5300 in 1966 to 7918 in 1968. He went on to point out that Rome fell because of (1) love of luxury; (2) failure in the family; (3) high taxes; and improvements are the first phase of a beautification project in the area. Future plans call for the planting of flowers adjacent to the buildings and for general painting and clean-up. V) (4) Inflation. The zeal for work in the middle Income group disappeared. dis-appeared. If Abraham Lincoln had been born in our day he would never have made president because he would never have had to work and struggle.
