Show J City Fathers Hear Audit Report At Special Session on Monday At a special meeting held Monday night at the city hall, Mayor Paul T. Fordham and members of the Pleasant Grove City Council accepted the aud-itor's financial report of re-ceipts and expenditures for the fiscal year, July 1, 1967 to June 30, 1968. The auditing firm was Has-kin- s and Sells, certified public accountants, Salt Lake City, and their "official opinion" reads in part as follows: We have examined the fin-ancial statements and supple-mental schedules of the var-ious funds of Pleasant Grove City, for the year ended June 30, 1968. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing proce-dures as we considered neces-sary under the circumstances. In our opinion, such finan-cial statements present fairly the financial position of the various funds as of June 30, 1968 and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in conformity with gen-erally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the pre-ceding year, and such supple-mental schedules, when con-sidered in relation to the basic financial statements, present fairly in all material respects, the information shown therein. In compliance with Section 8 of Sewer and Water Revenue, Refunding Bond Ordinance 1964D, we report, that in con-ducting our examination, noth-ing came to our attention which in our judgment, indicated a lack of compliance with the accounting and reporting re-quirements under sections 7 and 8 of the Ordinance. Yours truly, Haskins and Sells. The report, which will be published in next week's Re-view, as required by law, showed revenues of $171,928.54 in the general fund. Expendi-tures were $171,327.74, divided as follows : general government $29,264.30; public safety, public works (streets, highways and garbage), 2; public health, $1,495.63; public library, $3,909.53; parks, $7,940.66; recreation, $3,296.00; cemetery, $6,451.37; deficit ac-count, $1,999.67. In the Sewer and Water Fund $101,463.96 was received in revenues. Expenditures for op-eration of the system and re-tirement of obligations were as follows: operating expenses, $45,222.42; depreciation, 2; niterest on bonds, 0; other interest, $480.00; agents fees, $92.50. Net income for the year was $15,843.01. "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL.

Votes are Tabulated For PI. Grove Area Fair skies and a fair turnout marked the 1968 Primary Elec-tion throughout communities in Utah last Tuesday. As of 11 a.m. Wednesday, most of the races for national and state posts seemed to be definitely settled. Just a few were still hanging in the balance as late returns were being tabulated. In the Republican column U.S. Senator Wallace F. Ben-nett was a shoo-i- n as his par-ty's choice and U.S. Rep. Sher-man Lloyd had almost a three to one lead over his opponent. Carl W. Buehner seemed cer-tain to oppose Governor Calvin Rampton next November and Lamont F. Toronto had a com-fortable lead over Clair R. Hopkins for Secretary of State. Other Republicans who seem-ed to have survived the prim-ary were Vernon Romney, at-torney general; Golden L. Al-len, State Treasurer and Sher-man Preece, State Auditor. Democratic Race Varied For the Democrats, Milton L. Weillenmann held a slim lead over Phil L. Hansen for U.S. Senator. But Galen Ross was winning easily over Grant M. Prisbrey for U.S. Repre-sentative. John P. Creer held an almost two to one lead over Charles M. Pickett for Attorney Gener-al. Precinct Results Show Trend Results of the voting in the 8 Districts of the Pleasant Grove Precinct reflected pret-ty much the statewide trend as to preference of candidates and also the Republican dom-inance. Judging for the voting for U.S. Senator, 886 Republi-can votes were cast as com-pared with 577 Democratic. Leading the Republican vote in the Pleasant Grove Precinct was Harley M. Gillman, run-ning for Utah State Represent-ative. He polled 759 votes J. M. Gilson, who tallied only 135. RESULTS BY DISTRICTS DEMOCRATIC 12345678 Total For U.S. Senator: Hansen, P.

Lindon Has Very Successful Fair Last Saturday by Ilia Brown LINDON The Lindon Fair Board again can chalk up to the past another bigger and better fair. All the display tables are empty, all the hors-es have been returned home. Only memories are left in the hearts of many and a feeling of a job well done. Those for-tunate ones who received a blue ribbon have added it to their collections of many past fairs. The Mayor and Councilmen are expressing sincere thanks to all those who helped in the successful event. Thanks is ex-pressed to the Lions for their Chuck Wagon breakfast, which started the day off with a bang. The Jaycees are thanked for the touch of patriotism they gave to the event as they dedi-cated the flag pole and hoisted "Old Glory" to fly over the celebration in memory of all sons lost in hostile action. They thank the sponsors of the Horse Show, which has turned out to be one of the best in the state. Many of the patrons of the fair who came for a day's en-joyment, saw the need for more help in the concession stands, rolled up their sleeves, and started selling, putting in some eight hour shifts. The Fair Board thanks them especially. Last but not least, thanks is given to those Scouts and their football teammates, who clean-ed the grounds, which definite-ly returned the Park back to its natural state. Ounsmithing Class Will Start Monday Anyone interested in evennig classes will begin Monday, Sept. 16 at the Utah Technical College in Pro-vo.

WBotle Creek !gi?'"'j"""yT',"lJ Hippies, yippies, college crackpots and sundry other dissenting and rabble-rousin- g groups in the United States should take small comfort in what has been taking place in Czechoslovakia lately. The freedom-lovin- g Czechs are now playing host to some 100,000 troops from Russia, East Ger-many and other Communist satellite nations. All this has happened to the Czecks because they had tast-ed a little freedom, liked it and were anxious to strive and sacrifice for more. Now the heavy mailed fist of totalarian communism has fal-len upon them with brutal force. What gains they had made toward freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of choice in elec-tions are being stamped out under the heel of military might. Serious students of the caus-es of the disgraceful riots in the United States are almost totally agreed on one point: They are Communist inspired, Communist organized and us-ually Communist led. Almost to a man, the violent dissenters are screaming for more freedom. But what they fail or even refuse to realize is that without law and order, there is no freedom for any-one. What freedom would there be throughout the world if the Communists had their way? Take a look at Czechoslovakia and decide for yourself. Gradually, the clear-thinkin- g citizens of the United States are waking up to the fact that Mayor Daley of Chicago did ex-actly right in controlling the riots in his city, during the Democratic National Conven-tion. What else could he and the Chicago Police Department have done? In the opinion of this column, those who cry "Police brutal-ity," are definitely the ones who would use every tactic, brutal or otherwise, to gain their ends. I suppose, too, that if an ac-curate count were possible of the ones injured during the Chi-cago convention melee, more policemen were injured than rioters. Certainly a police officer hit in the face with a potato stud-ded with razor blades could be justified in using his billy club. And certainly, also, a cop sprayed with a stream of caus-tic or acid could be pardoned if he resorted to tear gas. So it seems that those in this country who favor coddling and appeasing the Commies had better look to Czechoslovakia, Chicago, or any other place where the results of their ac-tivities are manifest. If resisting them is police brutality, let's have more of it. When they howl, it's just evi-dence that we have been hit-ting them where it hurts. They know no other form of communication.

Pleasant Grove High School Class of 1 928 Meets in 40th Reunion on August 3 1 At the end of another five-ye- ar interval, the graduating class of 1928 met for reunion in the beautiful recreation cen-ter of the Legislative Council Chambers in Provo, on Aug. 31. Gene and Eva Nelson were responsible for all arrange-ments; decorations were beau tiful, dinner was delicious and the program was delightful. Class members assembled and visited from six until sev-en, then a short impromptu program was enjoyed. Reed (Ham) Coulam and Harry Blackwell gave musical num-bers which earned the group "way back when." Jesse R. Walker acted as emcee. Dinner was eaten at small tables after having been selec-ted from an abundant smorg-asbord. Program numbers, enjoyed after dinner, were short com-ments by class members liv-- Concluding the evening's en tertainment was a half hour ing out of state. A ladies trio with trombone and piano ac-companiment, given by friends of Gene and Eva Nelson and comments on his trip to Russia by Howard Nelson, were fol-lowed by remarks of apprec-iation expressed by faculty members. of folk and semi-classic- songs sung by Gene, accompanied by Harry.
