All members answer-ed to roll call and Mayor Paul T. Fordham was in the chair. Problems of city importance were considered and a new city ordinance was read, discussed and approved by unanimous vote. Fire Chief Fred Keetch at-tended the meeting and asked the council's opinion on gas fired garbage incinerators for inside and outside use. No real-ly intelligent opinion was pos-sible, pending further authentic information. City Attorney Noall Wootton presented an outline of the proposed ordinance requiring mandatory garbage s ervice. After discussion, Mr. Wootton was authorized to draw up the ordinance. The City Police Deparment was directed to make a city wide survey relative to citizens infringing on city property with fences or driveways. When the survey is complete, letters will be mailed to all infringers. Councilman Paul Blackhurst reported that the anticipated aid from the Class C Road Fund would total approximate-ly $13,000 this year. He was directed to prepare a budget as to how the funds would be spent. Mayor Fordham read a letter from the City Engineer, inform-ing the council that Don Dick-son, representative of the U.S. Housing and Urban Develop-ment Agency, would visit Pleasant Grove, March 20. He was to discuss the proposed sewer and culinary water ex-tension programs. The Council approved the purchase of four picnic tables for the City Park. City Cleanup Days were set for the middle of April, with the definite dates to be an-nounced later. In order to combat continued vandalism, the council approv-ed the installation of a yard light at the rodeo grounds. The Council also approved the establishment of a Special Improvement District in the central part of the city. Adver-tising and other details will be worked out soon. Councilman Marvin Green recommended that the City purchase a used "baking mach-ine" for street and traffic signs. No action was taken pending the economics of the operation. Councilman Blackhurst re-ported that the study of gar-bage collection units for busi-ness houses had progressed to the point where purchases could be made. The best bid of several will be accepted. Finally, the Council approved a new city ordinance prohibit-ing the discharge of volite fluids or other harmful liquids or materials into the city sewer system.

Beverly has been working in California, and will enter the mission home on March 18. ItifEattle Creek L-Well sir, the "Coddle the Criminal" campaign of the U.S. Supreme Court and lesser courts and the public-be-damn-e- d criminal defense attorneys is paying dividends. However, unfortunately, they are decided-ly on the red ink side of the ledger. The latest report of the FBI indicates that crime in U.S. ma-jor cities for 1967 was up 23 per cent over that for 1966. In the country as a whole, the in-crease was 16 per cent. And judging by what we have seen, during the last 2 months the crime rate during 1968 bids fair to break the disgraceful record again. Smug residents of the sover-eign and supposedly moral state of Utah, have often re-marked in the past, "It will never happen to us." But look what is happening in Salt Lake City. Murders, attempted murders and assaults with deadly wea-pons have been averaging at least one per week. Also, banks, service stations, and food stor-es are being knocked over al-most daily. Of course, homicide in the heat of anger and passion is pretty hard to forsee, predict prevent or control. Most of it takes place in private homes. But armed robbery, is some-thing else again. In the opinion of this column any person who enters a bank store or other public service institution and demands money at gunpoint is a potential killer. That's his invariable threat, if the person being robbed resists or refuses to obey his demands. If the victims of armed rob bery have any rights at all, then the perpetrator, when caught and arraigned, should not be admitted to bail. His trial should be speedy and fair and if convicted, he should be salted down for a good long, term. If this means a change in the criminal code, in the name of sanity, change it. In last Sunday's daily paper, a story told of how grocers in a large eastern U.S. city bought pistols. They then organized a clinic and took lessons in the use of firearms. They said that they were tired of being pushed around by armed robbers and were going to fight back. Following the clinic, six gun-men were killed and one grocer was slain in foodstore shoot-out- s. Since then, food store robberies in that particular area have fallen off sharply, the article stated. I for one, have never ad-vocated that private citizens singly or in groups, should take the law into their own hands. Too many serious mistakes may be made. However, when the morale and the justice of the courts break down and the rights of the criminal are held in greater esteem than the rights of honest citizens, a change must be made and soon. The "West was Won" by har-dy men and women, who were willing enough and brave enough to face the criminal element and fight back, person-ally, if necessary. If we keep what they won for us, there may have to be a return to such willingness and such bravery. So long 'til Thursday. Rev. Stuart Hussey Speaks to Kiwanis Club at Last Meeting "Construction and Conserva-tion" was the theme of a talk given to the Kiwanis Club of Pleasant Grove and their wives by Rev. Stewart J. Hussey. The dinner-meetin- g was held last Saturday evening at Park's Cafe in Orem. Rev. Hussey is Pastor at the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. William Mair took charge at the meeting under the direction of President Elvin Carson. Walter Brock, Lyle Thacker and Bill Mair gave brief histor-ies of their wives and also paid tribute to them. A young ladies trio composed of Ranae Rawlinsson, Burdette Jense and Denese Gleave pre-sented three musical numbers. Miss Wendy Carter was their accompanist. In his comments on "Constru-ction and Conservation" Rev. Hussey stressed that the hist-ory of America is one of con-struction. To build ourselves and to prove ourselves so that we can function in crises and to always keep ourselves going forward is our challenge, ac-cording to Mr. Hussey. He stat- - ed that the spirit of man is the greatest reality of all of life. Material things are merely surroundings in which the spirit can serve, and wherein we must find out who we are, where we came from and where we are going. In order that our spiritual and moral values might be worth while we must keep three central thoughts in mind: The personal effort required, the common or community effort required and the necessity for divine guidance or supervision. Rev. Hussey stressed the need of a willingness to serve God and mankind, that to make constructive contributions to our community and community life they must be done upon the basis that God is supreme, and that God requires of us certain things. No man can worship God in truth without a corres-ponding relationship with his neighbor and fellow man. We are responsible for our own actions, and for the use of the talents God gave us on this earth. Rev. Hussey added that com-mon endeavor must recognize a common need in order to achieve maximum achieve-ment. Leadership is essential in our clubs and in our commun-ity, and so divine leadership is necessary in the world in which we live. "The situations in the world today certainly require leadership from without our-selves," comented Rev Hussey. "We must continue to look to the Master, and we must con-tinue to contribute what we can in the life of termoil. Jesus is the only power that can enable us to make a maximum con-structive effort in this life." P.O. Irrigation Co.
