The new facilities will consist of a lagoon system near the Jordan River about I'imiles southwest of Lehi, a storage reservoir in the foothills of the Lake Mountains three miles west of the Jordan River, and a land disposal area (farm) about one mile west of Saratoga Springs. The lagoon system, which will be partially aerated to eliminate odors and promote better treatment, will provide secondary treatment for the sewage. Treated wastewater from the lagoons will be disinfected disin-fected and pumped to the storage stor-age reservoir. The reservoir will retain all of the treated wastewater during the winter. During the growing season, water from the reservoir will be applied by normal surface irrigation irri-gation techniques on the land disposal area, which will serve as the final phase of treatment. Nitrogen, phosphorous, and other residual pollutants will be removed by the soil and the cover crops as the water percolates perco-lates through the soil. The cover crops, which will consist of crops commonly grown in the area, will be harvested and sold to help reduce treatment costs.

Russell Innes, Publisher Subscription Price Per Year $5.50 (In Advance) Cavern Carl Ingersoll's American Fork Cavemen basketball team will open in defense of their 1974-75 Region Six Championship Champion-ship tomorrow night on the American Fork hardwood against an always tough Spanish Span-ish Fork five. Spanish Fork todate in their games, have been sort of off and on. Last week out at Elko they looked great as they beat the number one seed in the tournament there. Then they lost to defending 3A champs Davis and Orem in pre-league games. Those games by com-parision com-parision scores mean very little. lit-tle. Coach at SF, Larry Shurtlief has just one veteran returning . In height Sp. Fork compares well with AF. He has two fine guards in Johnson the returnee, and Swenson. American Fork received another an-other tough jolt when big All-Region All-Region Mike Bond AF center developed a bone chip to his right knee. Big Mike underwent surgery this morning at AF Hospital and will be lost to the team from six to eight weeks. This coupled with the loss of Ron Allen really hurts AF. Ron and Mike were the only "tall folks," and "would'nt it be nice" if for once AF could field a "healthy ball team," at least for one game. But don't feel too bad as AF does have enough players to field a team for tomorrow's game. Last week Coach Ingersoll started Gary Cook, Dave Ner-din Ner-din at the wings, Andy Burgess at the post, and Randy Thomas and Dave Dean at the point men. This team along with Brian Hansen, Bond, who saw quite a lot of game time and Robert Shelley, trounced a touted Orem Tiger team 72-57. Balanced team scoring and the effective penetration by Dean, the strong board work by everyone on the club led by Burgess with U rebounds, dominated the taller Tiger team as AF broke open a rather dose game with a furious fur-ious onslaught in the first and final quarters. Orem led at 12-11 but before the Cavemen slowed the intense in-tense defensive pressure and some really good shooting, AF jumped out to a 17-12 score. Then they stretched the margin to a comfortable 37-17 score and with various combinations in the game the Tigers would narrow the margin. Then in the final quarter Ingersoll had Hansen, Dean, Burgess, Nerdin and Thomas in the game and they raced away to a 70-50 score. Ingersoll then went to the bench and played all of the juniors. The final score read AF 72 Orem 57 as the Forker team showed tremendous improvement im-provement over the previous week against Provo. Region Six opening league play finds AF once more cast into the favorites role and justifiably justi-fiably so. Coach Ingersoll does have a fine group of kids on the club, but injuries play an important im-portant part, as the past football foot-ball season proved. "If" Ingersoll Inger-soll can field a healthy ball club AF should win real handy but with Allen and Bond out and Hansen still playing "hurt", the first part of the season could be "hair graying for the coach." Most people expect, surprisingly surpris-ingly enough, Uintah to be up in the top teams.

Wrestlers Improving Coach Tim Pontious took his Cavemen wrestling team south over the week end and the Cavemen team did pretty well in a tournement at Cedar City. Team Captain Garth Hyde won his weight and according to Coach Pontious, had they given "most valuable player" at the tournament he felt sure Garth would have won it. He won in a tough weight class over good wrestlers. Garth wrestled at 126 and won all three matches. At 185 pound Rick Nelson turned in a good effort with a 3rd place finish winning three matches and losing one. Bob Haws lost by a single point as he also won 3 matches and lost to the eventual winner by the single point. Jeff Rank a rapidly improving improv-ing wrestler also in a rough weight class split at 2 wins and 2 losses as did Scott Boley. Both wrestlers ended in fourth place but gave a good account. The Cavemen will be at home tonight against the Wasatch Wasp mat team and next Tjes-day Tjes-day the Cavemen will test the Murray Spartans in another home meet.

When purchasing your Christmas tree this year, buy a firm, fresh tree. Store it in a cool place with the base of the tree in water - until ready to be decorated. If your are buying an artificial artifi-cial tree - be sure to look for the UL Label which tells you it is classified as flame resistant. Do make a check of the decorations you use. Remember Rememb-er to check the decorative lighting strings for frayed wires, broken cords, and loose sockets. These conditions pose potential electrical hazards. Use only light strings that bear a UL Label. When trimming the tree, avoid using candles or other decorations that may ignite easily. ea-sily. Keep the tree away from the fireplace, rediator, and the T.V. set - any source of heat may cause the tree to become dry, thus creating a fire hazard. Don't overdo it. Be sure not to overload the electrical circuits cir-cuits in your home. The wires that carry more current than they can handle may overheat and cause a fire. Read manufacturer's manu-facturer's instructions on lighting light-ing strips carefully and do not use more than the recommended recommend-ed number of lights in one circuit. cir-cuit. Christmas decorations are beautiful - and very pleasant to look at. However, when you leave your home or retire for the night, turn off the light sets, colored spot lights, or other decorations. Don't settle for the unknown. When purchasing gifts for the people you care about take time out to check for the UL label. Gifts of electric food blenders, hair dryers, hot combs, and the like are tested for safety by Underwriters Laboratories. Show that you care - check for the UL Label. Be safe and happy this Christmas season. AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN THURSDAY DECEMBER 11, 1975 UTtoe QJttaiDu Science Utah Escapes New York Plight "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all;" was a favorite quote of Bambi's friend, Thumper. And while I think that if everyone followed Thumper's advice, needed change in government and politics would rarely take place; I still believe that credit should be given where credit is due. Local lawmakers deserve a lot of credit for keeping Utah out of the trouble New York City and a lot of other places have gotten into. In fact, not only will Utah be able to balance its 1976-77 budget without a tax increase, but it also appears there could be a several million dollar surplus for the current fiscal year. Utah legislators might even go completely bezerk and reduce taxes next year - and this at a time when New York City with some of the highest taxes in the nation is scrambling to save even basic services. What are the causes of this apparent deviation from the rule on the part of Utah legislators; this fiscal delirium of balanced budgets, common sense spending, and maybe even tax reductions? reduc-tions? In the first place, Utah lawmakers decided to break an old and cherished national tradition and not spend money unless they had it. This quaint approach to money management may result in a $25 million dollar surplus for Utah's '76 budget - this according to the November report on the State of Utah's budget from the Utah Foundation. The surplus is a product of conservative estimates by the legislature when they were planning the budget. The revenue estimates they used indicated there would be approximately two million left over. At that time, the recession was creeping into Utah and inflation was running almost unchecked. And the Utah legislature legisla-ture was scared that costs would soar past the State's ability to pay. New York City would be a lot better off now if some of their lawmakers would have had the courage to be scared. As it's turning out, though, the national recession hasn't affected Utah as severely as predicted. Though there is higher employment in Utah than before, income levels have increased measurably which has increased State revenues through sales and income taxes. In addition, the 1975 income tax raises were only expected to bring in around $12 million additional dollars for the state. Now that also appears to be somewhat conservative. Of course, there's no reason for the lawmakers to get complacent with this apparent success. I hope they stay just as frightened of debt as the rest of us. In fact, as I indicated in an earlier column, Utah's school age population could increase more than 100 percent in some areas of the state during the next several years. This means additional revenues will be needed for school buildings and services. In addition, the state is now receiving several million dollars in revenue sharing funds. There is talk on the national scene of letting this program expire in 1976, or of bypassing state governments with the funds. Either way, there would be less funds for state coffers. I applaud the Utah legislature for their tanacity. While many lawmakers have failed to heed the danger signs leading to bankruptcy, our represetatives have held the line.

This was 2,000 more than a year earlier and was down seasonally from July. Of the total, 15,000 were farm operators and unpaid family workers and 7,000 were hired. Family workers averaged 38.3 hours worked during the survey sur-vey week this year compared with v 5 a year ago. Hired workers averaged 38.7 hours compared with 38.5 last year.
