She loves steak and chicken and even ate some pizza the other night, responded Mrs. Davis. But she doesnt eat ham, her Muslim faith forbids it. So, Tuesday evening when d the main course was ham, the Mutia dined on chicken. Also, until Sept. 13, the exchange student is observing Ramadlam, a month-lon- g religious tradition in which faithful members fast during the daylight hours. This week she is eating her meals at about 7:30 p.m. and 3 a.m. The schedule changes with the phases of the moon. The Davis family, needless to say, found the practice unusual, according to their expeience, but also have enjoyed it in terms of learning. It is also in Mutias daily schedule to at 4:30 a.m. and 2, 5, 8 pray five times and 9 p.m. If she is unable to because of circumstances of surroundings, she spends additional time praying at the next opportunity. Mutia whose home town has a populashe called it a tion of 130,000 persons has a fondness for the local small city mountains. And was surprised to find Brigham City so clean. When she arrived here on July 21, her wardrobe consisted of clothing which was a description pretty and light weight given by Mr. Davis. And one pair of denim jeans. She was right at home in the temperatures of the days here. In fact when we had the air conditioning on, she was cold, Davis noted with a smile. Its not been uncommon to find Mutia curled up in the sun on the living room carpet. Needless to say, she's never seen snow. The Indonesian said she was looking forward to school. As a senior at Box Elder, her schedule is not a timid one. It includes advanced algebra, American history, physical education, experimental foods, clothing construction, type, mixed chorus and student government.

So her American experience is different in that respect, too. Shell be here for the entire school year. And with football, snowmen and more pizza, its going to be quite a change from any school year shes ever spent before. (Continuedjrom Page One) rain storms. That problem will soon be relieved with installation of a new storm drain line near Eleventh South. Officials dont want to create another trouble area. As for the Eleventh South property, was raised traffic safety or lack of it as a major concern. Just last week, Police Chief Jay Herbert called the Eleventh South intersection a hazardous condition which cant be tolerated. He cited speed and absence of left-turtraffic as signals for east-wes- t factors. Councilman Knudson based his dissenting vote on the traffic situation. Id like to put it off for two weeks and see what the traffic department has to say about what they want to go in there, he told fellow council members. Councilman Jones also cited the traffic factor in his opposition to rezoning, in addition to a desire to know the cost of extending utilities and the need for a market analysis. However, Councilman Wight said he didnt feel the traffic problem was related. I believe regardless of how the zoning goes, it will be pursued to a satisfactory conclusion, he stated. Wight called the Eleventh South proper16.9 acres located west of Main and ty one of the most south of Eleventh South choice pieces of property for commercial development in the state. He based this on its close proximity to the Eleventh South intersection with Main street which is a main crossroad. Mayor Felt was emphatic in his desire to see the property rezoned, citing the benefit from sales tax income to the city as one n thing that hasnt been stressed very much. In his letter, Don A. Mackey, president of Grand Central, Inc., said: We anticipate that our store will offer employment to a minimum of 100 people to 150 people, depending upon the season. It is anticipated that our inventory alone will carry a retail value at its low point of $750,000 to $1.1 million during Christmas. Mayor Felt called Provo the sorriest example of a city council turning its head and resisting development and having that development go elsewhere and benefit other people. And he added, we should not put a road proposed block in the way of viable development. Concern was voiced about a possible adverse affect it might have on the downtown business district. Councilman Dale Baron pointed out that downtown Logan merchants were concerned when a mall was recently developed outside of the central business district. But it hasnt proved to hurt them, he asserted. Baron said development outside of the central business district here cant be held up any longer waiting for the downtown plan to develop. In fact, he reasoned, other commercial development such as that proposed for K mart and Grand Central will serve to stimulate it. In response to Councilman Jones concern over utility costs involved, Councilman Burke said, were in the utility business, that's our main business. We can sell them electricity and water and take care of their sewer, too. Councilman Jones said he favored development of the property. Its just a question if the time is now, two years from now or five years form now, he stated. Earlier in the public hearing, Gardner said the store proposed here for Grand Central is a new prototype which will feature fewer clothing items. In league with that store, the Salt Lake City concern plans also to develop three adjacent smaller shops of 5,000 square feet each plus a grocery store of 30,000 square feet. All are projected for completion next summer. Although Grand Central is the only tenant secured thus far, he said contacts have been made to bring in a fabric store and clothing boutique for the smaller shops. It was brought out by another member of the firm, Roger Boyer, that all of Box Elder county is considered the marketing area for the proposed Brigham City store. They see it as about 35,000 population. A second phase of development on their property would include a restaurant or bank, a theatre and another large store. Dr. and Mrs. Roy Barnard of Perry spoke against the Eleventh South development.. Mrs. Barnard called the Eleventh South crossroad the most hazardous intersection in Utah. Her husband said such a development w would tend to divide the city and Orchard School will be chHT0gO two fiir T. argued that commercial growth should emanate east and west from the central business district instead of going 11 blocks south. Also speaking against rezoning was Jim Cutrubus, owner of the property on which Horman proposes to build the K mart store. Horman said the store he proposes to build could be completed within seven months, explaining that a K mart study buildconcluded that a ing is adequate for this area. If the other property is rezoned, would it discourage K mart from coming in? Mayor Felt asked him. I believe one side or the other would, back down, Horman responded. He disclosed, however, that as of Friday he had exercised an option to buy the 6.12 acres owned by Cutrubus and if we can get a conditional use now I think we would go ahead. The rezoning vote was not the only split result of the evening. When the planning commission acted on plot plan, to accept it in with Doris Olsen concept, the vote was and Jay Hansen dissenting. For the motion were Richard Meyer, Cliff Graham, Thelma Somerville and Doug Wight.

After his death, patrons of the Hunter-Magna area recommended to the board of education that this new elementary school be named in honor of a man dedicated to education and community service. Orchard was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Orchard of Brigham City, where he was raised and graduated from Box Elder High school. He served an LDS mission to Norway, served with the US Army in Korea, and graduated from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Utah. His widow and children are making their home in Hunter. Former Brigham City resident Douglas T. Orchard, victim of a murder-robber- y in his Magna drugstore last April, will be memorialized in the name of an elementary school to be located in the Hunter-M- a gna area. Plans for the building of identical schools named Douglas T. Orchard Elementary school and Harry S. Truman Elementary school were announced recently by the Granite School District Board of Education. The school named in Orchards memory will be located at 6800 West 3800 South and will be completed in time for the 1978-7- 9 school year. Its costs will be approximately $2.5 million. In announcing the naming of the school, the board stated, Douglas T. Orchard was a man who taught others that education is of great importance and that it begins in the home. He was a community resource person.
