Show poor, copy Manti Messenger, Thursday, October 21, 1982 Ephraim culinary water system nearly restored by Bruce Jennings The down town" phase of Ephraims culinary water system improvement project is nearing completion. The down town phase has included replacing about 12,000 feet of badly deteriorated cast iron pipe with plastic pipe. The new line extends down both sides of Main Street and up the north side of College Avenue to Fourth East. Walker Construction, Riverton, has had the contract for laying the pipe lines at a cost of $52,282. The Walker Construction contract has also provided that the company is responsible for blacktopping the street areas affected by the work. The city has provided the pipe and other materials needed for the project. A city crew headed by Tom Clark, superintendent of the city culinary water and sewer system, has made 12 hookups to the new main line at intersections and has also made 115 service connections. By having city employees do this phase of the project, a lot of expense to the city was saved," Mr. Clark said. Mr. Gark'screw has included, in addition to himself and his assistant, Brent Riddle, two temporary employees. The old line that has been replaced presented constant maintenance problems, according to Mr. Clark, who six-inc- h explained that the cast iron pipe was badly deteriorated and leaked at the joints. . The new line, Mr. Gark said, will eliminate the excessive maintenance costs and provide better pressure and distribution of the culinary water to homes and businesses. Another improvement to the culinary water system has also been completed. Birch and Maple springs in Ephraim Canyon have now been brought into the system. The water from these springs will not only increase the culinary supply but will also augment the citys r generating capacity. "We also plan to bring e Spring into the system this fall, Councilman Reid said, Roy and additional water from higher in the hydro-powe- canyon later." Funds obtained from a bond sale, a Water Resources loan and accumulated city money is being used to finance this summers improvements. Other improvements, including the addition of another hydro-powe- r generating plant, are now in the planning stage and the city is looking for funding for other phases of the overall project that will enable the city to produce more of its electricity, provide more culinary and irrigation water and upgrade the distribution system. Take precautions in using Despite the current scares about the possibility of adulterated drugs, a Brigham Young University pharmacologist says there are ways for people to help protect themselves against danger. Dr. Bruce H. Woolley, pharmacology professor in the College of Nursing and director of BYU's McDonald Health Center, said that people are now hesitant to buy drugs because of what's happened to Chicago with the Tylenol poisonings and elsewhere with Visine, Murine and er Pepto-Bismo- l. "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned Americans not to in a buy anything capsule," Woolley said. "The recent cases prove that point. He suggests five ways that people can help protect themselves and their families: I . Purchase drugs directly from a pharmacist. Don't pick them up from the shelf. 2. Don't buy unsealed drugs. Check the sealed bottle or container by pressing down on the paperplastic seal. At altitudes in Utah, the seal when pressed bottle has the top of it, the School down in the middle with the thumb will spring back up because most drugs are sealed at lower altitudes. Someone could use a razor blade to cut the paper, then glue it back after adulterating the medicabut that breaks the tion pressure seal, and it won't spring back when pushed. 3. Smell the product. If cyanide has been put in the bottle, it will have a characteristic smell of almond. If in doubt, have a pharmacist examine the drug. (However, it is extremely difficult for the pharmacist to determine whether the bottle has jeen tampered with if the drug has been purchased at another store.) 4. Usually, capsules manufactured by reputable companies will have no leakage of powder around the capsule or in the bottom of the bottle.

A study by the U.S. Department of Education found that about one of every four public schools in the United States currently has at least one microcomputer or computer terminal for instructional use by students.

Renowned artist protrays Skyline Drive in painting An oil painting depicting a familiar Sanpete Valley scene, painted by a widely proclaimed landscape artist who is a native of Ephraim, will soon hang in a Manti High School hallway. A beautiful Skyline Drive scene, the painting is by Floyd E. Breinholt, who is a graduate of Ephraim High School and of Snow College, where he was student body president. Mr. Breinholt taught in Manti schools and later headed the Brigham Young University Art Dept., where he taught until his recent retirement. "I am interested in promoting the fine arts among the students of this area, Mr. Breinholt said. In line with this goal, he contributed a substantial reduction in the price of the painting. A school patron and the South Sanpete School District provided the financing. Mr. Breinholt has had paintings in numerous major exhibits and in 23 n shows. His favorite subjects include mountains, aspens and other Western themes. 15. . 14 13. 12 one-ma- Zions Bank Money Market Account Yield. Average Yield All Taxable MM Funds. Average Yield of MM Govt.
