It didn't take long for tourists to come this season. This year, about 15 houses in the neighborhood were decorated three more than last year, said Vicki Willis who lives in the colonial-styl- e house at 177 W. 3540 North. Hers is decorated with Christmas wreaths in windows and red, white and green lights on the house. White lights outline the trees. Across the street, lighted white deer graze in the snow. And down the street and around the corner, Santa's sleigh has already landed on a roof. A scene of Christ's birth is also done in lights. Willis said her lights double her electric bill, but that's OK with her. The seasonal beauty is worth it. "At the lights-o- n party, we joked how we would like to have been in the control room at Provo City power when we all turned on our lights to see the power meter's needle buried," said Willis. The neighborhood custom of decorating started a few years ago with just a few participating.

This year's party was conducted last Sunday. "There were about 60 or 70 people in the street and we had hot chocolate and doughnuts," she said. Each neighbor turned their lights on, one house at a time to oohs and aahs and applause. oe GOP governors getting royal treatment - SALT LAKE CITY (AP) It's not all work and no play at the Republican Governors Association conference.
