Buehner Visits Geneva Steel Monday for First-Han- d Look at Local Steel Operation A first-han- d look at the ef-forts the people at Geneva Works are making to keep Ut-ah steel competitive in the western steel market was given Cary W. Buehner, Republican candidate for governor, Mon-day afternoon during a visit to the mill. "The goal of the people at Geneva Works," Raymond W. Sundquist, general superinten-dent, told the visitor, "is to in sure for ourselves, our famil-ies, and our fellow citizens a dynamic, growing steel indus-try in Utah." "We can only do this," Mr. Sundquist continued, "by pro-ducing steel at Geneva Works that places first in quality, ser-vice, and cost with our custo-mer's in the West and wher-ever else our products are sold." Mr. Sundquist emphasized the fact that every man and woman at Geneva is import-ant in the task of reaching this goal. Mr. Buehner's tour of the mill was preceded by lunch and a presentation given by Mr. Sundquist on the challen-ges the mill faces. "We are here today," Mr. Sundquist said, "to let you know that we take our respon-sibility at this mill seriously and that we stand shoulder to shoulder when it comes to the competitive challenge we face." Mr. Sundquist pointed up the urgency of the challenge in a statement showing that in the first eight months of 1968, for-eign steel imports, mainly those from Japan, have jump-ed 45 per cent over the same period last year. r u 'V, 1 ;' . if 'i V S f A m f M " .J r 'IOI jf --J fj ?

Fordham, left and John Gillman, right, Utah County Com missioner candidates, while Calvin Swenson and Harvard Hinton, both of Lehi, encourage the three candidates on chances for Nov. 5. Rampton Visits Utah Technical College at Provo, Gives Praise Governor Calvin L. Rampton recently told a crowd of about 1000 students and faculty at Utah Technical College in Pro-vo that vocational education is receiving more recognition in Utah and that more funds need be allocated for providing job training in Utah. Governor Rampton was ac-companied by Mrs. Rampton and other Democratic candi-dates for local and state offices in Utah . President Wilson W. Sorensen introduced Governor Rampton saying "that no one since the days of Brigham Young has anyone done so much for voca-tional education on the state level as Governor Rampton." The Governor in his remarks to the group encouraged the students to get vocational-technic-education that is offered at UTC. He stressed that young peoplle have to have specialty training to get along in our present economy. He outline the recent purch-ase of 121 acres of land in Orem upon which a new camp-us will be built in the future. He said that it would be four to five years before the camp-us can be built due to the current bond obligations. He indicated that construction would be stalled as soon as money is available. Vocational education facilit-ies througout the state were highlighted by the Governor. There has been a school at Richfiled for about four years, and there are plans for area vocational-technic- schools in the Uintah Basin and in the Moab-Monticel- area. Governor Rampton praised the students for having the courage to come to school to learn the occupations that will get them the available jobs in Utah. "There is not a better man in vocational education in the United States than your Presi-dent Wilson Sorensen," the Governor said. UTC at Provo has consistent-antl- y been willing and eager to train thousands for jobs in new industry coming into Utah, he added. In remarks made to mem-bers of the college staff the Governor explained that the legislature would be receptive to recommendations for expan-sion of the Provo college. "We want to make sure the Provo school has physical fac-ilities equal to those on the new campus in Salt Lake City" the Governor said. Deer Hunt Proves Excellent For Some Hunters Judging by the number of prime bucks hanging in a local processing plant, the Pleasant Grove areas contin-gent of Utah's 180,000 deer hunters must have done well. As of 9 a.m. Tuesday morn-ing ,a total of 225 deer had been received for cooling out, cutting and quick freezing. This total is slightly above the number received at a compar-able time last year, according to processing plant personnel. Most of the specimens rece-ived locally were two point bucks and were fat and in ex-cellent condition. Just a few had been "shot up" badly or showed evidence of improper care in the camp. One veteran hunter and a staff member of the local pro-pessi-plant, was happy to report that he got his deer again this year. He usually jumps astride of the animals right after he shoots them. This method pre-vents the prizes from escaping and provides a wild and ride, as well. This year, the buck ran under the low-hangi- branches of a large pine tree, the hunter's red cap flew off and his head ivas slightly lacerated, there-by. However, the deer and the ride were worth it, he report-edly said. Editor's note: The essential details of the above episode were gleamed from rumors floating about the local cutting and freezing plant early Tues-day moiing. Neither this re-porter nor the Pleasant Grove Review will be held responsible for the absolute veracity of the same. The hunter's name is being withheld by common consent. City Council Discusses Variety Of Business Matters Monday ity projects. During the call Mr. Dirkson gave permission for Pleasant Grove to award the contract for the proposed sewer im-provement and expansion pro-ject. The contract has been awarded to Brown Plumbing and Heating, Inc, of Provo After discussion the Council agreed that for future fire in-surance needs, bids would be requested for the usual type of policy and also for "complete replacement" agreements in case of fire at city buildings. Councilman Paul Blackhurst requested that an asphalt pav-ing material heater be pur-chased for the use of the city streets department. Council-man Blackhurst was requested to investigate prices and types of heaters and the advantages of each type. City Recorder Millen D. Rad-ma- ll requested that two chan-ges be made in the 1968-6- 9 budget, relative to a decrease in the amount expected to be received from property taxes and an increase in the "trans-fer from other funds" item. The council voted to approve Mr. Radmall's request. With all members present and Mayor Paul T. Fordham presiding, members of the PI. Grove City Council met in reg-ular session last Monday night at city hall. Nolan Wood, representing the Utah Water Safety Council, was present at the meeting and re-quested that an individual rep-resenting Pleasant Grove City be appointed to serve on the Utah Council and also on the Pleasant Grove City Water Safety Council. Since Mr. Wood is a resident of Pleasant Grove, he was so appointed by vote of the City Council. The Council, by unanimous vote, authorized Mayor Ford-ham to sign a Mayor's Deed, relative to city property being conveyed to George Oscarson. Mayor Fordham presented a map showing the location of proposed underground tele-phone cables in the eastern area of the city. The council approved the location and the project pending study and re-port of existing water and sew-er lines by Floyd Adams, city utilities superintendent. Mayor Fordham read a let-ter of resignation from City Re-corder Millen D. Radmall ef-fective Nov. 1, 1968. Mr. Rad-mall's resignation was accept-ed with a vote of thanks for his 14 years of loyal and efficient service. Mr. Radmall's successor will be duly approved and appoint-ed at the Nov. 4, 1968 regular Council meeting. Mayor Fordham reported a telephone call recently receiv-ed from Don Dirkson, director of HUD, the U.S. government agency for aid to cities for util- - Cleaner Air Week Set for October 20-2- 6 Governor Calvin L. Rampton has declared the week of Oct-ober 20-2- 6 CLEANER AIR WEEK. During CLANER AIR WEEK Utah joins the rest of the na-tion in an appraisal of air poll-ution problems and progress. Of the approximately one hun-dred and thirty-thre- e million tons of air pollutants released in the aid each year in the United States, the majority, sixty-fou- r per cent, come from automobiles, trucks and buses. Another seventeen per cent come from manufacturing in-dustries. The balance is from electric power generating plants, from the heating of homes, apartment houses and office buildings, and from burning of trash and garbage. State and local governing agencies, as well as private organizations, have given in-creased attention to the nature of air pollution factors since the 1967 legislation for air con-servation. In Utah the effort to control air pollution has been aided by U.S. Public Health Service grants; it is expected that these grants will be continued. In September 1967 the Utah State Board of Health endorsed the action of the state's new Air Conservation Committee which urged that all open burning be prohibited at sites used as community disposal areas. This prohibition is to be accomplished through ordinan-ces adopted by cities, towns and counties. Recently the Air Conserva-tion Committee prepared a pro-posal on regulation of open burning. This proposal has been discussed in seven public hear-ings throughout the state; the proposed regulation will be re-viewed in fight of comments made at those hearings prior to adoption by the committee. Grant Winn, Ph.D., Execut-ive Secretary of theAir Con-servation Committee has made a special request to each citi-zen of the state. Dr. Winn suggests that individuals can help to improve air quality by refraining from burning weeds, trash and garbage and (Continued on page 2) Pheasant Hunters Urged to Plan Hunting Early Early preparations are an important part of any hunting trip and the pheasant hunt is one of the most important hunts of the year which necess-itates early planning in order to ensure a pleasant hunt. Opening day of the 1968 seas-on is just days away and now is the time to be making plans for the trip. Scout the area, find out who owns the land you would to hunt on, then get the necess-ary permits or permission to hunt. This will help eliminate the problem of suddenly finding your prospective hunting area closed to trepass on opening day. By gaining early permission to hunt on private land you make your trip more pleasant and you are doing a major part in improving the relationships between hunters and landown-ers. A small investment in time and effort prior to the season opening will pay big dividends during the hunting season. Ask permission to hunt all lands, respect private property and obey all rules established by proclamation for your out-door seasons. fTLj Creek y'3rc"c- - I suppose the Ques-tion confronting most Ameri-cans of late is simply this: "Can the widowed wife of a martyred and beloved Presi-dent of the United States find happiness, when married to a millionaii--e Greek transporta-tion magnate, who is 23 years her senior?" Her sister, Princess Lee Rad-ziwe- ll says she can. And, the Princess should know, since she is married to Prince Stan-islaus Radzuwill, a Polish No-bleman, whose assets were less than of those of Aristotle Anassis, Jackie Ken-nedy's new husband. Jackie's mother, Mrs. Hugh D. Auchinloss, who gave her daughter away at the Greek Orthodox Chapel marriage cer-emony, said she was also posi-tive that the union would be a happy one. The ceremony was performed by a Greek Ortho-dox bishop on the Isle of Skor-pio- s, which is owned lock, stock and barrel by the elderly Grec-ian bridegroom. Well sir, this column wishes Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis all the happiness in the world. She has had her share of heart-break and sorrow. Like one of many I have been wondering just how this is all going to shape up with the church, since Jackie has al-ways been a devout Roman Catholic. And Roman Catholics are not permitted, under pain of excommunication, to marry divorced persons, of which Ar-isto-is one. But perhaps, ev-en that can be worked out. Money has a way of bridging deep chasms, even ecclesiasti-cal ones. Another question has been raised relative to Jacqueline's marrying into more millions. Will she have to relinquish the many thousand dollar a year government pension granted to her as the widow of a deceased President of the United States.? Over the years I have come to know of quite a few widows of deceased American veterans who lost their pitifully small government pensions when they took on a second husband. Oh well, as the scriptures point out: "To him that hath shall be given. But to him that hath not, shall be taken away; even that which he hath." Question number four has to to with the U.S. Secret Ser-vicemen, who have been giving Jackie Kennedy and her child-ren round the clock protection ever since President Kennedy was assassinated. Will this ser-vice be continued at American taxpayers' expense? In that connection, it seems highly possible that Aristotle is affluent enough to hire a squad of men to provide the needed protection, as long as the marriage holds up, that is. Anyway, corning at the time it did, the Jackie-Aristotl- e af-fair has helped us all dodge the mud being thrown during the current political campaign. Also, to take our minds mo-mentarily away from inflation, Vietnam and Liquor by the Drink. So long 'til Thursday. Buehner Speaks In Provo at Recent Rally Carl W. Buehner, Republican candidate for Governor, while in Provo recently, called for a "tghtening of the belt" in state fiscal policies. Mr. Bueh-ner pointed out that Governor Rampton has cosistently sup-ported the Johnson-Humphre- y administration policies in Washington and has shown a similar disregard for taxpay-ers in Utah. Mr. Buehner called attention to the fact that the Democrat Governor and a Democrat leg-islature had greatly increased our taxes and heavily bonded the state. We are presently 71.5 Republicans porposed for dollars in debt, the Vz cent sales tax increase, which the Republicans proposed for financing the state building program has gone into the gen-eral fund, and: State spending is up 38 per cent; State payroll costs shot up 46 pre cent; State empoyees have jumped 41 per cent. "We do not need Johnson-Humphr- ey type spending in Utah," Mr. Buehner stated, and if elected, he would follow sound, responsible fiscal poli-cies. What this state needs is a business administration, not a policical administration, he concluded .

Elvin Carson Back Home After Heart Surgery Friends of Elvin Carson will be pleased to learn that he is now convalescing at his home, 810 East, Orchard Drive Pleasant Grove. Mr. Carson submitted to open heart surgery at LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, on October 8, 1938. He had prev-iously suffered a heart attack and had been treated at the American Fork Hospital. In a statement to the Re-view Tuesday morning Mr. and Mrs. Carson and members of the family expressed thanks for the interest, telephone calls cards and flowers and faith and prayers of their numerous friends and relatives. "We do so greatly appreciate every-thing that you have done," Mrs. Carson said. PI. Grove Army Reserve Unit Arrives in Vietnam Members of the 259th Quart-ermaster Battalion, originally an Army Reserve Unit from Pleasant Grove, have arrived at Quang Tri, South Vietnam. They were part of the 20,000 reservists called to active duty by President Johnson in April and have been in training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, since then. Men from the Pleasant Grove area, who are members of the contingent are Duane H. Ekins and Nelson Seely. Delbert Atk-niso-who formerly lived here and later established a home in Green River, is also a mem-ber of the Pleasant Grove unit. |
