Dorothy Lotz proudly shows off her doll collection. THIS KIND of rale increase could foice Kaysville out of the power business, some fear with great belief that the By NORMA PREECE Doll collecting is a hobby one can literally spend a for tune for and such is the case with Mrs. Dorothy Lotz of Kaysville. DOLLS ARE simply irresist-abl- e to Mrs. Lotz, she has some 225 dolls in her collection ranging in all shapes and sizes. Mrs. Lotz recently unpacked all her collection and has them displayed in two rooms of her home for her family and friends to visit. IT IS amazing to see dolls of every description in their authentic dress for that period of time. There are baby dolls, character dolls, antique dolls, foreign dolls, storybook dolls, etc. She has dolls from the countries of Italy. Japan, Germany. Taiwan. Holland and Canada. Then you see some 40 Madame Alexander, both old and new models. These dolls have always been extremely popular and very diflicult to purchase at the present time. Others in her collection are Nancy Drew, Snow White, Prince Charming and Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Jennie Lynn and Heidi, Red Butler and Scarlet O'Hara, Shirley Temple, Martha Washington, Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, John Wayne, Mae West, The Story Princess, Charleys Angels, Dick Clark, the Phillips 66 doll, Campbell Soup Doll, Colonel Sanders, a fireman, Ragedy Ann and Andy, so many too numerous to name. ONE OF HER oldest is the bride and bridesmaids which is over 30 years old and one of her latest is Prince Charles and Diane. One the children love is the clever handmade puppet dolls like Little Women and their mother Marmie, the Three Bears, Snow White and her able as children do. Hood, the wolf and the grandmother, these are all reversible. scavenging through an attic or seven dwarfs. Red Riding A VERY dear friend of Mrs. Mrs. Lucille Barker of Lotzs, years ago Kaysville, and dressed crocheted tiny dolls from head to toe, which are truly a masterpiece to add to Dorothys collection. Mrs. Lotz said, I started this collection when eight years of age and like all children had one doll that was her favorite one and today she still prefers it to the hundreds of others. It was soft and cuddley and one that could be dragged so willingly through the adventures of a childs day, dressed and undressed repeatedly without protest and told all the secrets of a youngsters heart. One finds the appeal of dolls is far from limited to children, as hundreds of adults find dolls just as interesting and irresist- - WHETHER ONE is making dolls themselves, adults are still involved in doll collecting. Mrs. Lotz said, While I was growing up, I would receive that certain doll each year and then I would purchase a few additional ones. Her mother enjoyed dolls too. and helped buy special ones for the collection over the years. Her friends knew of her collection also and while traveling abroad, would bring one back. IT HAS been 13 years since she has displayed her dolls and each time it is more exciting. They are a reflection of the human spirit, to many people dolls are people, there is a personality and human quality that exists and this is how Mrs. Lotz has found her collection to be. np Phone No. Changed Kaysville City Police Department has a change in their telephone number. The new numbers that they may be reached at are 544-0- 5 1 or 1 546-113- 1. IT WOULD be wise for citizens of the community to make a note of this change in case they needed to call in an emergency. Much damage occurred from Holmes Creek Irrigation Channel during the recent Dog Shows Success ; Many Kaysville and Fruit Heights residents are among those attending the Mount Ogden Kennel Club Dog Show held ut Sandridge Park in Roy on Sunday, Oct. 9. en, THERE WERE 990 dogs tered in the competition ranging from Canada, Minnesota, Louisiana, Montana, Idaho, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Best of Show went to Saluki which is a sight hound breed owned by Karen Mosher James from Santa Monica, Calif. Also many of the Utah dogs of different breeds won championship points toward their title. It takes 15 points for a dog to become a champion. highlight and the Obedience Trilas are both classes that are very interesting and enjoyable for all. THE EXHIBITORS pay a fee, but the show is free to the public, and a real treat for a family activity, np KAYSVILLE receives 30 percent of its power needs from the Federal Governments Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP), Glen Canyon and Flaming Gorge Dams. This federal power is very inexpensive in comparison to other resources available to Kaysville.

There was a class for children only The Junior Handlings that is an additional citizens have been paying for the CPRS project through their rates for almost 20 years and they feel they have earned the right to keep CRPS power. Heres a letter distributed by city hall to power users: I am writing in response to the letter you recently mailed to all Kaysville households.

Col- Unlike us, however, our neighbors have not been allowed the benefits of that Federal power in return. In effect, they have kindly subsidized the electric bills of those of us who are blessed with the benefits of CRSP power. Utah Power & Light serves our friends and would like them to also enjoy the cheaper hydroelectric power produced by Federal tax dollars. SECOND, IF Kaysville City now receives such cheap electricity from CRSP and wholesale power markets, please ex requirements have grown through the L-- t 20 years, the low cost CRSP power has acted as a "buffer" against drastic rate increases that would othcrw ivc he required to pay the present day power resource costs. Your power bills have gone up in recent years, but not as drastically as those of your neighbors outsv'c the city who are scrv cd by if- - p ns ate power company. UNFORTUNATELY, the supply of this inexpensive CRSP power may be lost. Our current contract for the CRSP power expires September of 1989. This seems to be a long time away to be worrying about a new contract. However, the Department of Energy will be making new allocations of CRSP power within the next year to qualified purchasers and Kaysville is not guaranteed a new contract. We could lose all of this valuable, low cost resource. WOULD YOU like to have Kaysville continue to have its CRSP power beyond 1898? Perhaps you will when you consider that to replace this low cost CRSP power at todays power cost would re- - plain why our current electric rates are nearly identical to those charged by Utah Power. We should be paying significantly less. That private utility does not receive all that cheap hydro power, but must generate its own electricity using costly d plants, must wade through expensive rate hearings, and still must earn a return for its shareholders. I suspect that our high municipal power rates have little to do with the actual cost of providing electricity to our homes. You appear to be using excess utility revenues to fatten nonutility city operating funds. coal-fire- THE DIFFERENCE between what the power costs you and what you charge us is nothing more than a subtle sales tax. Lets call a tax a tax! Then we citizens could clearly see just what taxes we are actually paying out of our tight household budgets. Is this not taxation without representa- tion? Third, you aroused the citizens of Kaysville by assuring us that our electricity bills will automatically skyrocket 47.5 percent if there is a reallocation of CRSP power. That's a frightening forecast - are you sure its the total story? IF UTAH Power is successful in obtaining Federal CRSP power for its customers, thus reducing its rate as much as 25 percent, wont Kaysville City, already a wholesale customer of UP&L, also benefit from Says u'.iiietfui your elect rc ruiche raised 47 pcfeent.

Fourth, your letter states that a loss of CRSP power would result in Kaysville City not being able to compete with Utah Power. Common sense would not let you city fathers raise our rates an incredible 47.5 percent. You would properly choose to let UP&L serve us with its new, cheaper power (which could even be chaper than what you now charge us, considering hidden sales tax and all!). IS PRIVATE power all that bad? High school economics classes teach that natural monopolies (such as UP&L) are often the most efficient They offer economics of scale, prevent duplication of facilities, and utilize the efficiencies of modem technology. Impor-- ' tant to electric customers themselves, natural monopolies are strictly governed by public service commissions and are required by law to justify their electric rates by proving true cost of service. In summary, Mayor Purdy, Kaysvilles citizens should be properly informed us to the total picture of the CRSP situation, Kaysvilles hidden tax, and the realistic outlook of electric rate changes should UP&L participation in CRSP be approved.
