Brigham City officials are moving toward adoption of a revised curfew ordinance for young people. Police want the measure altered to serve as a tool in combatting vandalism which presently is running at a high rate, particularly in city parks. City councilmen Thursday voted to have City Attorney Omer Call amend the ordinance as recommended by Police Chief Stephen M. Studder. The new version will: Eliminate the need for an audible curfew signal. Change the times to better reflect activity hours of young people today. under Include 16 and provisions of the curfew ordinance. "We asked for the changes primarily because of the high number of juveniles out late and the high number of crimes being committed by juveniles during these hours. Get Them Home Hopefully, this will give police an avenue where they can pick juveniles up and get them home where they belong," wlnef Studdert said. Currently, the citys curfew ordinance is not enforced and hasnt been for some years. Its provisions apply only to young people under 16 years old. The curfew now is from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. daily except Friday which is 12 midnight to 4 a.m. The revised ordinance will observe the same hours for those under 16 but include Saturday along with Friday when the curfew hour is 12 midnight.

As for those 16 and 17 (not now covered), they must be off the streets between 12 midnight and 4 a.m. except on Fridays and Saturdays when they will be allowed out until 1 a.m. Chief Studdert said the request for an ordinance change was made only after long discussion with the juvenile court. Exceptions will be young people who are accompanied by parents, guardians or others having legal custody and those whose work necessitates being out later. The regular meeting is scheduled at 8 p.m. in the board room, upstairs in the county courthouse. A reproduction of the full agenda can be found on Page 2.

Can Save Be renewing now, anyone can save used in the production of newspaper going up, including postage. Of course, the publisher said, "everything in these days of inflation is going up in price so the News-Journannouncement probably does not come as any great shock to anyone." But," he went on, we want to be as fair as we can about it, and give all of our loyal readers a chance to renew at the old rates first."
