Show Cedar Fort Cera Water System, Meiv Re seruoir Climaxing pians and efforts extending over the past four years Cedar Fort has completed a$95,-000 a$95,-000 water system which Includes a 112,000 gallon reservoir. The homes in the town have been connected to the system, modern ising virtually every house in; the community. Eleven fire by' drants have bean installed. This places each family within a block of a hydrant and the emergency protection which the fire control system supplies. PURE WATER The clear cold water, so pure that no treatment is required, is conducted from the Spring Creek spring and Tennel creek spring, through one and a half miles of feed line to the storage tank and reservoir, with the entire en-tire system placed deep in the cool, dark underground excavations. excava-tions. The reservoir is all concrete, con-crete, with a concrete cover, underground, and is being covered cover-ed with another layer of con crete, completed with a final seal of earth. This will retain the cool fresh quality of the water. HIGH PRESSURE v With Cedar Fort located onthe side of the mountain and ihe springs in a still higher location, loca-tion, the water pressure is very high, measured at from 45 pounds to 122 pounds to the square inch. This readily facilitates sprinkling, sprink-ling, plumbing and also the protection pro-tection o." fire control. It was necessary to "cut back" tne pressure in the lower areas. METERS Homes receive this culinary water by means of meters, with a fee of $5.60 for the first 10,000 gallons per month, and additional useage charged on a sliding scale. Although residents may use what they wish for lawns or gardens, the irrigation system sys-tem supplies an abundance of water for that purpose. The excess ex-cess water from the culinary line goes back into the irrigation system. The lush, fertile fields, adjacent ad-jacent to the town, are irrigated by means of a canyon stream, coming from the North Canyon area. Many types of crops are successfully grown, and fruits and garden produce are abun-. dant. (There was a ume, dur ing .11rWth''"yeas-'-Whtt-th streams diminished and crops dried up, but with a period of normal .rainfall, the oasis condition con-dition of the residential area and croplands has been restored). restor-ed). INCREASED SUPPLY By means of the improvements effected, the water supply has been made available in quantity increased 40' per cent. This will allow for a 100 pe cent increase in-crease In population. GOVERNMENT GRANT, LOAN Funds for this vital improvement improve-ment were obtained by means of a government grant and loan, through the Farmers Home Administration Ad-ministration Bureau, with Roy-den Roy-den V. Carter of provo, as the Utah County representative. Over $11,000 was raised by the town board from the families in the community. The Call Engineering firm of Salt Lake City, served as engineers en-gineers for the project. Actual construction was begun in May, 1969, with the Noland Construction Construc-tion Company of Midvale, taking care of installing pipeline and meters. The low, acceptable bid for the reservoir was received from the Ford Construction Co. of Provo. The old water system Is being abandoned after 100 years in use. During pioneer days, residents obtained their water from the stream, diverted into ditches running along the roadside. Good, spring water, but readily con taminated, bringing epidemics of typhoid fever and other plagues. A new line was placed on the North "side of town in the 1930 s but this was not adequate to provide for increased useage. ELECTRIC POWER Cedar Fort is one of the oldest old-est communities in Utah, and Is actually the oldest in tne general gener-al use of electricity- even before be-fore Salt Lake City. The power was provided in the 1870' s with the advent of mining operations in the heydey of Mercur. An electric DOwer.iine was tun from Provo Canyon to Mercur, ana east of Fairfield to Bingham, and on to Ophif and Eureka. The line to Ceaar f ort was installed install-ed at that time.

Food for Thought By Mary Lee , In the last two decades the popularity of convenience foods has spread like the morning dew. There's hardly a home-maker home-maker left who doesn't use heat-and-eat foods or instant products of some variety. Even the spice industry has done its part in simplifying life for homemakers. There are now several dozen spice blends that make seasoning foods a cinch. For exanple, one that is particularly par-ticularly popular at this time of year is pumpkin pie spice. A judicious mingling of cinnamon, cinna-mon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, gin-ger, it takes the guess-work out of baking that Thanksgiving Thanks-giving dessert.' The spicy blend is equally delightful in cakes, cookies, nut bread, rice and steamed puddings. pud-dings. You also can add it to squash, sweet potatoes, or carrots car-rots for a different flavor. And just try it in eggnog, or in a chocolate cake, too. The most profitable thing raised rais-ed on city land Is taxes. here's otn yi::::er a RON STINE was the lucky winner in our Diamond Club.

Barlow, Utah Safety Council'sVlce President Presi-dent for Traffic Safety warned Utah drivers. "In the spirit of the season," Mr. Barlow said, "youngsters out trick or treating will not possess all thei safety training and often times do things which could lead them Into becoming an accident victim. While children child-ren may dare, motorists must take the responsibility to insure their safety." So, he urged, "in the residential areas, be extremely ex-tremely cautious." " V'hile drivers must share the greatest share of the responsibility respon-sibility for 'he Halloween Trick or Treater, parents too must share some of the responsibility for the safety of their youngster, it was pointed out. . "While it is great to wear a mask for Halloween, a far safer method of finishing off the youngsters young-sters costume is to use theatrical theat-rical makeup for decorating the face" Mr. Barlow emphasized. "Masks are all to frequently ill-fitting, ill-fitting, thus obscuring the youngsters young-sters front and side vision, and when they can't see, they are more apt to run into the L-ect into the path of an oncoming car. "Should theatrical makeup not be available, other means can be used - lipstick, eyebrow pencil, burnt cork, and the like are a good substitute," he stated. Costumes, he added, should be trimmed in a light colored material, ma-terial, particularly those which are primarily made of a dark material Something light will make them more visible to the motorist, which could avoid them from turning Into a pedestrian accident.
