Leo Nelson Retires After 17 Years As Am. Fork Judge Perhaps you've had the dubious pleasure of meeting Leo Nelson during the past 17 years. If your meeting was not of a social nature, the chances are that you met him at the end of the long arm of the law. As the city judge for American Ameri-can Fork, Leo Nelson has tried some 17,000 cases. Now at age 73, he has decided to retire. Leo recalls that he was appointed ap-pointed to be the city judge in 1959 after he had retired from .teaching P.E. and coaching football and track at American Fork High School. "The mayor came and asked me to take the job for a year," says Leo, "but each time a new mayor came, I was appointed ap-pointed as the city judge again." Then, in April of this year he was stricken with a heart attack, at-tack, the second in three years, and his doctor recommended recom-mended that he resign. "This time I decided the pressure was getting too great, and I just decided that I better quit it," states Leo. Some of the people who came in to see him on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings were sad cases while others were comical. Almost all had some sort of interesting side to plea in their particular case. Leo claims that a large portion por-tion of the misdemeanor cases that he tried involved the use of alcohol. On numerous occasions, occa-sions, women who were the victims of wife-beating called him late at night to put their husbands in jail. Most of them, he says, would have second thoughts by morning and "invariably "in-variably they'd change their minds and withdraw the complaint." com-plaint." "One thing that was hard to do was to have my former students come in," says Leo of the most difficult of his cases. In most of the cases, the students were drunk or had been drinking and driving. "I was saddened because they had to come in." Not all of the experiences were negative, however. Leo remembers the case of the American Fork man who was 54th Annua! IFA Meeting Scheduled On Thursday, August 26, Bill Pendered, President of the Berkeley Bank of Cooperatives, Coopera-tives, will be the featured speaker at the 54th annual meeting of the Intermountain Farmers Association. The general session is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. in the Hotel Utah, Main at South Temple in Salt Lake City, following registration activities ac-tivities that commence at 9:30 a.m. Speakers at the general session ses-sion are President John A. Roghaar, Board Chairman Rich L. Finlanson, and Vice President and Treasurer Fred Brunner. Mr. Pendered, who will speak at the noon luncheon, has served in many agribusiness agri-business organizations. He did graduate work in business administration ad-ministration at the University of California, followed by over six years in retail and wholesale credit for Union Oil Company's regional office in San Francisco. Pendered joined the Berkeley Bank in 1961 as a business analyst, and subsequently served as assistant assis-tant secretary, secretary, and vice president and secretary before being elected president of the bank in 1974. Among his many other agri-business activities, acti-vities, he is now chairman of the Banks for Cooperatives Capit Committee. NELSON has sot on the legal side teacher and coach at American on his way home when he decided to stop in Lehi to use the toilet. Since the hour was late, he couldn't find any businesses open and he began to speed in order to get home quickly. "He had to speed up to beat nature," says Leo, but when the American Fork police caught him, "nature got the best of him." "If the cop hadn't have stopped him, he said he would have made it," he chuckles. Leo, being a discerning justice jus-tice of the peace, suspended part of the fine. Other cases were just a little I a; 7 ecar utyc i of the judgement bar for the past Fork High School, retired in April bit hard for Leo to swallow. He remembers the man who was caught for speeding and claimed that he should be acquitted ac-quitted since he had to hurry home before he ran out of gas. The joke, however, was not always on the person on the other side of the judgement judge-ment bar. Leo admits that he too made blunders every now and then, as when a 65 year old woman came to court one evening. After the court had recessed, Leo was unable to remember her name. He solicited soli-cited the help of Police Chief Boyd Adams and described her as an "old lady." Chief Adams queried, "She was an old lady. She was just about as old as you are, huh?" Leo, who was 68 years old at the time, had to blush. Leo Nelson, a teacher by trade, claims that he never aspired to a place in the legal profession. "I didn't ever have any thoughts of being a judge," claims Leo, but at age 73, he concludes his seventeenth seven-teenth year. J V. i Mrs. LaRene Petersen Despain, a former resident of American Fork, completed the national Bikecentennial Ride, along with twnety-two hundred other bikers who have made the cross-country ride this summer.

They "We don't think your wife Kidnappers don't traveled the by-ways of America Amer-ica visiting historical sites and American citizens across this broad land. They met many bikers who began their tour on the west coast and will end their tour in Virginia. "America is a tremendous country," Mrs. Despain said, "I have a new appreciation of her greatness and of the strength and devotion of her people." She said that many of the bikers they met were on independent tours. As many as 4,400 people have taken part in this Bikecentennial, some traveling only shorter distances dis-tances of the designated trails. She said it seems that a new interest in and love for the land have been generated in the hearts of many people.
