Pleasant residents in one section of town were given the opportunity to fill in the chuck holes in their streets. Other areas of the city will do so May 8, May 15, and May 22. Hopefully the idea will work here and residents will be interested enough in the condition of the city streets to do their part and a little more, for those who are physically unable to participate. A d citizen, George Piute, tried a volunteer effort to get the chuckholes filled once before and had a dismally low turnout. Maybe this time residents will see that the effort involving many people will be little labor for any one person and can get the job done.

For this to be effective residents of Mt. Pleasant must act on this opportunity to save some of their tax money in this time of tight budgets and still get the streets in good repair.

Although few of us will attain the stature of Lincoln we still owe our love and our lives to our mothers. One of my early recollections of my own mother was asking her to help me climb to the top of the r old, the big barn filled hay barn. To a with summers crop of hay was a big challenge. The only thing in the way of getting to the top was being too little to first get up to the loft. I can still remember asking mother to give me a boost up so I could make it the rest of the way. That's the way I remember my mother, a beautiful person, gently lifting her child towards achieving her goals. I remember my mother, a young woman raised in the city with its more modern conveniences, struggling with the rigors and hardships requred of a farm wife in the days when homes in Milburn did not have electricity or running water. four-yea- I remember the excitement of moving into the big house on the corner and the excitement of drilling a new well and finally getting running water in the house. I remember a mother who let her little girl pick out Little Bo Peep wallpaper for her bedroom and suggest the name that was given to her baby sister. I remember mother cautioning her children of the dangers of the world but allowing her children the freedom to explore the farm and climb the surrounding hills. I remember my mother bearing the duties of a home and giving her all as a dedicated school teacher. r f remember how she silently and patiently endured lifes adversities and the heartbreak only she could know when she lost my father, her companion of only 26 years. 1 remember how the joys of motherhood blossomed for both of us when I became a mother. I remember how we grew closer as we shared life on more common ground as adults and as mothers. Yes, all that I am I owe to my angel mother. Dear God, give her my love.

PLEASANT CITY HEARING TO DISCUSS UPCOMING INCREASES IN POWER RATES Recently the City has received information from the Utah Association of Municipal Power Systems that the power we buy from the new Hunter II plant will cost us much more than in the past. These increases will force the City to raise utility rates approximately thirty percent. Due to the severity of this increase, the City has asked a representative of U AMPS to come to a special hearing to explain the reason these increases are necessary. hearing will be held on Me y 11, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mt.

It seems like some of the other Senior Citizens look at it at a different angle. They seem to like to find work for us to do and have a work project going all the time. so many people complain about, especially at this time of year. remember watching the flickering flames I through the tiny windows on the living room stove as it provided both warmth and light as the cold winds whistled outside. d ' I remember Saturday nights being bathed in a round tub with water heated by a coal stove fired with wood chopped by mother. The setting was in a tiny kitchen of our little log home. Fountain Green Cub Scouts presented skits and received awards at the annual Blue and Gold Banquet, held at the ward cultural hall. Mayors Corner Planning vital ANNUAL to meet growth Dear Citizens; One of our major concerns is the ability of our city to cope with the growth that is projected. Planning for and managing the growth in our community is a vital step toward preserving the best of our past. The trend hitting America today is volunteerism and we need to make a committment to this new wave. Volunteerism is the price we pay for being a citizen. We have an unlimited supply of resources in our city. Some of our most valuable assets come from our schools, city fathers, police officers, chamber of commerce, Jaycees, Lions Club, senior citizens, social clubs and scout organizations. But an asset is only valuable if it is put to its best use. I would like to initiate a program of community progress that depends largely on the human resources of our community. But such a program is just a big set of words unless we make the effort to make it work. No one organization can cure the ills of the world and clearly the present cutbacks in the federal government spending will require an increased effort by all of us and the organizations to which we belong. We need to form a partnership with each other that pulls together in the same direction. We have an individual obligation to do this. In the past, if someones barn burned down, everyone helped rebuild it. In addition, there were old fashioned quilting bees and house raisings to help ones neighbors. I feel that in those days people had more love for each other. These feelings did not come about overnight, but were nurtured by working together and doing for each other. Democracy is based on informed people solving their own problems. The key word here is informed and we all need to become better informed as to what goes on in our city government. Citizens! What part would you like to play in your community? With your involvement there are so many things we could do something about. A lot of people can accomplish a lot more than one working alone. Our Make Your City Shine Days were launched in the First Ward last Saturday. City crews were out filling holes with asphalt, hauling off garbage and generally trying to help you clean your city. The Boy Scouts were there too under the direction of Dan Anderson and a lot was accomplished. But we were a little disappointed in the turnout of our citizens. The whole idea is that everyone should help with the garbage in front of their properties. Some fathers were out with their sons cleaning potholes for asphalt and helping in other areas of the cleanup. These fathers taught their children a valuable lesson in service and responsibility toward their community. Lessons such as these are more valuable than gold. Evidently some other fathers took this opportunity to teach their children some other kind of lesson. Some of you may wonder why some of the bridges and intersections were not repaired. Due to the amount of damage at these points, we felt that it would be a waste of money to use asphalt that would be gone in a few days. We intend to come back in the very near future and do a more extensive repair job that we can be proud of. Second Ward! We will see you Saturday the 8th. We will bestarting at 10a.m. and will try to do the streets running north and south first followed by those running east and west. We will only pass your property once so be ready. Citizens! Food for thought. Will you take a moment today and ask yourself: Who am I? What an I going to give toward making my community a better place in which to live? What is my philosophy? ' J What do I believe about my commun.. What am I going to do about my indifference? See you Saturday, Amoir Deuel Mayor n MAKE TOUR CITY SHINE DAYS DON'T FORGET THIS YEAR THE MOUNT PLEASANT CITY COUNCIL HAS DESIGNATED THE MONTH OF MAY AS MAKE YOUR CITY SHINE DAYS.

This being the case, you are expected to be on hand to load your own trash and to patch the chuckholes in front of your house. 2. As much as practical, everything must be bagged. We will not be picking up rocks. This would be just too time consuming. 3. We do not intend to go onto private property to pick up trash. Have your things out at your proper ty line so it can be easily picked up. 4. You will need your own tools. We expect that rakes and shovel will be especially useful. 5. Asphault is to be used to fill chuckholes. Not for your driveway or to widen the road in front of your house. 6. Cleanup will begin at 10 a.m. If you are not do not expect us to come back ready at that time, later. 7. Cleanup will start at the intersection of 100 South and State Street.
