Show Messenger-Enterpris- by Barry Baker, Councilman Even though we have struggled in completing the setup of our Block Program organization, we are confident that we have the vision of what will become such a part of us in the future that we will simply take it for granted some day. Just like so many things in life, they work when we do. This past Monday all of us should have been notified by our Block Director that this weeks was changed to garbage pick-uWednesday, instead of the normal Thursday routine for obvious reasons of the Thanksgiving holiday.

OUR BLOCK PROGRAM IS FOR REAL I sometimes get the feeling from some of our citizens thatour Block Program is only an idealistic system, looking good on paper, but is not needed in our situation.

Thursday, November 25, 1992 e, Its not so difficult that we cannot comprehend the operation of this Block Program concept. Ithas been approved by our Mayor and City Council as the communication link from City Hall to each household in our city. Pres. Joseph Nielsen of the Ephraim Utah Stake of the LDS Church has asked that the Ephraim City Block Program also be the official emergency communication channel of the Church here in Ephraim. Because the plan is that every single household be included, no matter their religious affiliation, we see no reason for anyone to feel left-oor ostracized from the community affairs of Ephraim. The uses of this program are almost limitless. ut PLEASE CONTACT YOUR AREA DIRECTOR If you do not know who has been called as your own Block Director, please call your Area Director.
