He has worked for the Orem and the Heber City police departments, and was Heber s Chief of Police for a term. While in Heber, he instituted police coverage, organized a juvenile of- fice, established a patrol devision, and instituted a special squad to 24-ho- , - , v s ,v .'

The new police chief says he sees no major changes in the Nephi department for the present. He anticipates an evaluation period to determine community and department needs. Young is that police work is not just the police departments responsibility. The community must be involved to have a police force, he says. He also thinks that all police agencies in the area .need to work hand in hand in total cooperation. As chief of police, I will do all I can to assist the other police agencies says. suc-cesf- ul . And they alF had fried squirrel for dinner! Utah county duo seriously burned A Saturday accident north of Nephi seriously injured two Utah County men and started a fire that burned up a large amount of hay and parts of a stack yard. The accident happened at approximately 7 p.m. According to Sheriffs Deputy Dave Carter, Kirk Greenland of Provo and Randy Livingston of Pleasant Grove were hunting near Larry Ostlers stack yard. approximately four miles north of Nephi. A squirrel ran into a nearby sprinkler pipe and the men grabbed the pipe and tried to shake out the squirrel. The end of the pipe hit a 44,000 volt electrical transmission line that passes over the stack yard. The electricity traveled down the pipe and to ground, exploding the end of the pipe and starting the fire. The fire consumed 120 tons of ' hay, burned up 330 feet of manger and 200 feet of fence, and burned the roof off a grain silo. Both Greenland and Livingston were burned, but Greenland was burned more seriously. He was on the critical list at Utah Valley Hospital for several days, but is now in satisfactory condition. Larry Ostler valued the .lost hay at $7800. A damage estimate for the stack yard has yet to be determined. . . . .he Young extended his thanks to the city council for their vote of confidence, and, says Young, the oath I have taken isnt just words. I will do all I can to serve Nephi City and its people in this capacity. At least one of the councilmen, Ernest I. Wilson, was against Youngs appointment. In a prepared statement brought to The s this week, Wilson said he voted no to the selection of Bill Young because of recent experience in employing in what he called sensitive areas, referring to the former city manager and the former chief of police.

The closest thing to a local race was between Nephi rancher Cary G. Peterson and Richfield attorney K. L. Mclff. Both wanted the job of running against Deltas Thorpe Waddingham for the state senate seat from District 28, encompassing Juab, Millard, Sanpete, Piute, Sevier, and Wayne counties. Peterson received 55.73 percent of the District 28 vote, or 4,176. Mclff received 3,317 votes, 44.26 percent of the total. In Juab County, Peterson received a whopping 96 percent of the votes cast. The score was 911 for Peterson and 38 for Mclff. In the Republican race to select a candidate for Attorney General, Robert B. Hansen received 438 votes to David L. Wilkinsons 396 votes. Hansen gained 52.5 percent of the 834 votes cast in that contest. On a state-wid- e basis, however, Wilkinson outpolled the incumbent to gain his partys nomination. Democrats Juab Countys Dan Berman over A. Stephen Dirks to run against incumbent Senator E.J. Jake Garn, and the rest of Utah went selected with them, although by a very and slim margin. wanted ten Juab County voters Berman and 82 persons voted for Dirks.

There is absolutely no substitute for knowledge of our local customs in giving effective law enforcement, the councilman said. If we are to give encouragement to our local citizens to train themselves and to excel to a point of competency for such jobs we must use them rather than import someone from the outside, . . . Wilson said. In other business, the council: Discussed plans for building a hydroelectric power plant at the mouth of Salt Creek Canyon near the old gypsum plant. A pipe line system would bring water from the canyon to the plant. The present plan would provide about 20 percent of the citys present power needs, the council said. The councilmen discussed the possible effect of the plant on the canyons wildlife and decided that the main fish population would be above the plants proposed pipeline system.

Present at the meeting were the citys contractor and architect. At a previous meeting, the council decided to look for areas in the plans where money could be saved. The architect was able to cut approximately $28,000 from the plans, and the council said the changes were minor and would not effect the function of the building. Cutting the air conditioning from the building would save about $38,500, but the architect said that removing the air conditioning from the plans could cause problems with the workers in the proposed building. The city council will look over the plans and budget and make a decision on them by the first of next week, they decided. 24-ho- quarter adult education classes will begin next week Fall The new year of adult education classes will begin next Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 17 and 18, says Susan G.
