By Kris Ewert Way back in 1956 Keith and Kathryn Lund moved to Plain City with high hopes and a deep love for Keiths home town. Now 20 years later Kathryns desire to serve her city has resulted in her appointment to various citizen committees culminating with her appointment to the planning commission. It was through her service on the legal committee that Kathryn became interested in city politics. I feel that if you want to do something about politics and government then you must start in your own little town. While serving on the legal committee untold hours were spent in accumulating information from other small cities and towns on their business license ordinance and other ordinances that helped to improve their towns. It was through this effort that Plain City purchased the standard ordinances from which P. C. could modify the ordinances to meet Plain Citys own specific needs. Kathryn is in favor of the ordinance that the Planning Commission has presented to the city council. It gives the city a way to catch up with its problems, declares Kathryn. For so long the growing has been ahead of the planning I would like to see a time when the planning will be ahead of the growing. ...We can then get our teeth into problems before they become problems. If a subdivision is permitted to be constructed without sufficient availability of services, at the completion of the subdivision it is not the contractors problem but the citys....

If a family knows that they have a pipe which runs under a driveway or carport where protection cannot be added, they should leave a little water running at night, according to Mr. Shupe. "It might cost them a couple of pennies, but it will save a lot of headaches, said Mr. Shupe. He said there is usually not too much danger during the day if the family is home, as long as some water is being used at least every 30 minutes. But during the night the water could freeze and break the pipe while it is standing still. He said to leave a tap running at about the rate of one pint per minute, which would use about 60 gallons per night., Many people finish off a basement and dont realize that by closing off the air circulating around the pipes, they are asking for trouble. Such pipes need to have insulation around them. Doman Councilman Larry suggested that an unburst DiDe in a wall could be safely thawed by opening up tne area and blowing a vacuum cleaner hose into it for a while. U j 'fW. Weve had a lot of trouble with water pipes freezing aand bursting in this extremely cold weather, Dennis Shupe, North Ogden Citys administrator, warned at the city council meeting Tuesday evening. He suggested that citizens use some preventive measures. He said there is a real danger when the temperature gets down around zero. He said citizens should check their pipes and add insulation where necessary. Although the pipes may be inside the wall and the house is warm, if they are in an outside wall they may not be protected from the extreme temperatures due to the insulation in the walls. Insulation or heat tape needs to be wrapped around the pipe. Another trouble spot is where the pipe enters the house. Some people have been having their water line freeze up at the water-meteespecially if it is not covered with snow. Mr. Shupe suggested taking the water meter lid off with a pair of plyers and stuffing newspapers down inside to protect the pipes. The lid should then be fastened securely and snow piled on top to add extra r, ! We are interested in offering classes or activities the public is interested in, said Mr. Longhurst. He said anyone with a suggestion is welcome to contact him at the school. He is also always on the look out for qualified instructors for the program. The teachers do not have to have a teaching certificate, but they must be experts in the area they would like to teach.
