His father. R.J. Reynolds Jr., died of emphysema in 1964. He was addicted to cigarettes. Patrick was 15 years old. His grandfather, tobacco magnale R.J. Reynolds Sr., a tobacco chewer. died in 1918 of pancreatic cancer when Patrick's father was 12. Today, the smoking foe knows the dangers of smoking too well. "My father's death made a deep impression on me, as did the mounting medical evidence said he against smoking," Wednesday at the 17th annual Substance Abuse Conference at the Yarrow Hotel. Tobacco now kills more Americans annually than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, auto accidents, fires and AIDS combined. Rey nolds said. PARK v Long before Thomas Edison and his pictures that moved, people enjoyed pictures that stood still and invited the imagination s r to move. A particularly wondrous M J EEsuisa Bell 2L ld i Unheralded kind of still picture is made of stained glass, an art called "paint- ing with light." You can see a brand-neexample of that art in Orem's children's library. It's worth a visit. When I was a child, on Saturday mornings 1 went to the movies and enjoyed the results of Thomas Edison's inventions. But on Sundays. I went to the Myrtle Street Methodist Church and enjoyed the still pictures. Sitting silently in the hard pews, my legs dangling, black patent leather shoes shining mutely, I had little else to occupy my thoughts except the great stained glass .windows on either w all of the chapel. Daniel stood in the lions' den, his white dress unwrinkled, his bare feet firmly set and the lipns as friendly as family pets. The Good Shepherd w alked up the rocky path in search of the I could see him! lost lamb Up his there, in the corner: look! long shepherd's crook in his left hand. Sunday morning light poured through the colored windows (which looked pretty plain from outside) and I walked right into the pictures, stroked the lions, asked Daniel if his feet didn't get cold, helped the Shepherd find that straying lamb.

Considered one of the most influential advocates against smoking, Reynolds said his father disinherited him but he received a (See TOBACCO, Page B2) entire crew over for a free lunch at his McDonald's on Freedom Boulevard. With Herculean blows, a firefighter clad in a heavy coat and helmet planted a sledgehammer into the roof of a burning house. Nearby, three more hotshots readied a safety net to catch falling figures from a gutted-ou- t building while five paramedics worked feverishly to save the injured. "Catch him! Catch him!" supervisor yelled a as another figure dropped out of the sky. A line of smokeys manned a thrashing hose that churned out w ater from a conv eniently located fire hydrant.

Bob Bennett, a Republican, and President Clinton, a Democrat known to occasionally puff on a cigar but othr. erwise a "I am one Republican w ho is here to support the Democrat president in his leadership in this area, and say that ail of us as Americans should get behind this initiative for the good of the country as a whole," said Bennett. Utah's junior senator serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Health Care Task Force, and he said Clinton's comprehensive plan is expected to reduce adolescent smoking i ; by 50 percent. The plan would reduce easy access to tobacco, requiring age verification on sales as well as prohibit vending machine sales. Outdoor advertising would also be banned within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds. Also, a color ban in Clinton's blueprint would permit only black and white text on outdoor advertising and also in the print ads in publications with significant youth reader ship. The plan would also stop the tobacco industry from passing out giveaway logo caps and battle fires for one day Story land, so many figures that patrons appreciate the benches strategically placed for iewing. The window was the brainchild of Tom Holdman. and the stained glass craftsmanship is Tom's as well. Ralph Barksdale. BYU faculty member, designed the panels and painted the glass. Over 5.000 pieces of glass, hand-blow- n in Geimany. were fired and refired for the panels. Funding for the project was a gift from the Ashton Family Foundation.

"This sets a criteria for quality, which is what we are really trying to do." While he thinks the new ordinance is an improvement. Daley isn't satisfied That's why he had the new trailer ordinance removed from the council's consent agenda last week and moved to an Oct. 10 meeting foi further siudy. "I'm not prepared to pass ,; the way it is written, because the need lor curb and gutters, sidewalks and double parking has suil not been addressed." said Daley.

Sun Lrxkhart. who sits on the Commission, Planning defended the ordinance, saying it represented the best efforts of a lot of people who spent a long tine study ing the issue and trailer parks cty all over Utah. "If Jim's overriding concern for public safety, then I is applaud that." said Uockhart. "But if the idea is to draft an ordinance with criteria that are impossible for developers to meet, why have a trailer park ordinance to begin w uh Gametic said Daley's suggestions tor improvements to the ordinance were considered and rejected by the committee As outlined in a Aug. 9 Planning Commission staff report, it was felt that substituting parking for tandem parking would increase developers' expenses unnecessarily by requiring the installation of more street surface and utility lines "The parking then becomes the central design feature of the park, giving the street sshjv the appearance of a parking M rather than a side-by-sid- - " r Canyon Crest Elementary. else a whale trainer" er Councilman Daley opposed to trailer park ordinance By MARK EDDINGTON The Da'ty Hea'd want to be a firefighter grow up." said Megan, a I at "Or Provo in front yard," the report reads. Staff added in the report that requiring sidewalks alongside streets would add unnecessarily to the w idth of streets. The idea of having meandering sidew alks is to encourage children to play away from streets. Rolled gutters were recommended iin curbs for ease place of in moving trailers in and out. Included in the proposed ordinance are requirements for additional setbacks, increased open space, perimeter fencing, a ekib house with offices and laundry facilities, management, ana restrictive covenants that govern parking, maintenance, noise: 'jrnd other potential problems.
