Pleasant city employees on his assistance at Wasatch Academy, April One section of the main sewer line, which goes through the campus, was dogged and began to back into a faculty home. After calling the City EdHall, Clair Cass When and where confuses candidates !n spite of fairly easy filing rules, two Democratic party candidates have had problems getting filed in the districts they would like to represent. Of these two candidates, one has demonstrated he doesnt know what time it is, and the other that she doesnt know where she lives. Henry (Hank) Huish, of Orem, who has said he had every intention of filing for the newly-createThird Congressional post, missed the filing deadline and was ruled ineligible because he did not file in person before that date. He now cries foul and claims politics, when he had five full weeks to personally file the declaration. Mr. Huish has since filed a lawsuit challenging the requirements and has filed d as an independent candidate. Should the lawsuit be ruled in Mr. Huishs favor, will he then appear on the ballot as both a Democrat and an Independent Janet Prazen, who filed in District 69 for the House seat in what she said was a party-backe- d attempt to unseat fellow Democrat Ray Nielsen, was ruled in a liberal interpretation of the law to be a resident of District 70 and is now a candidate there along with two other fellow Democrats who were thrown together by the reapportionment. Rumors are that she will resign. Anyone can make a mistake, but is it too much to ask that candidates running for public office be smart enough to file correctly and on time Bring service fees into line in Moroni Dear Editor: I was happy to read in The Pyramid, May 6, that With these rates we find Mt.

EACH SATURDAY DURING MAY THE CITY CREW WILL BE COMING AROUND TO VARIOUS PARTS OF TOWN WITH A BACKHOE AND TRUCKS TO HELP PICK UP THOSE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE ACCUMULATED WHILE CLEANING YOUR YARDS. THEY WILL ALSO HAVE ASPHAULT WITH WHICH YOU CAN PATCH YOUR CHUCKHOLES. WE REALLY EXPECT TO SEE OUR CITY SHINE AT THE END OF THE MONTH. BEFORE WE START THERE ARE SOME GROUND RULES WHICH YOU SHOULD KNOW: 1. This is your cleanup, not just something you should expect the City to do for you. After all, you are the City. 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 property 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. Cleanup will begin at 10 a.m. If you are not ready at that time, do not expect us to come back later. 6. 7. Cleanup will start at the intersection of 100 South and State Street. Streets running north and south will be done first, followed by those running east and west. 8.

It is amazing how many people have said this during the last 200 years and how many laws have been passed by Congress and state legislatures since that time because someone thought there ought to be a law. What has happened, however, is that the people of this nation are now so encumbered with laws and regulations that if all were enforced, nearly everyone would wind up in jail sometime during their life. Certainly a nation must have law and order for people to be able to coexist with each other, but laws that are not enforced are of no value. Neither are laws that are so restrictive they are suppressive. however, unenforceable but it just make sense. Many people do not even know what is on cable tv.

A manhole was filling up, so he People should be aDove tne filth that can be found in some magazines, movies and television shows. With all the opportunities that abound in this great country, there are just better things to do, read and see. Censorship is not the cure for the nations ills, simply because there is no clear place to draw the line. For example, one group of zealous crusaders against Filth want the book, Make It banned. The book is a sewing guide published by Mademoiselle. At a school named after Mark Twain, some people wanted his books banned. Harriet Beecher Slews "Uncle Toms Cabin is on the hit list as are books by such noted men and women as William Faulkner, Sinclair Lewis, Pearl Buck, John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemmingway. Doctor Doolittle and Books like Mary Poppins have been banned as raciest and sexist. If some guidelines were strictly followed, some groups who attempt to impose their own brand of mind control on their fellow citizens would have the Bible banned, or at least parts of it. The problem is not related entirely to the rest of the country and examples can be found closer to home. Locally, there are people who would trample on the rights of free expression, free trade and the right of people to live different lifestyles other than the accepted norm.
