Nixon, Republi-can, won the contest for Pres-ident of the United States, af-ter a battle, which be-gan when he polls opened natio-n- wide Tuesday morning and did not cease until his oppon-ent, Hubert H. Humphrey con-ceded defeat at 10 a.m. MST, Wednesday morning. Mr. Nix-on's electoral college vote was projected then at 287, with 270 necessary to win. Candidate George C. Wallace third party nominee for the presidency, was projected to receive 30 electoral votes. The Nixon win by this mar-gin was of great satisfaction to all Republicans and many Democrats, since it avoided a stalemate and the throwing of the election into the 1969 U.S. House of Representatives. In Utah, Governor Calvin Rampton was on the Democratic ticket by a land-slide 172,696 as against 79,874 for his Republican opponent, Carl W. Buehner, as of early Wednesday morning. Other Republicans, who were conceded to win statewide were Wallace F. Bennett, U.S. Sen-ator; Laurence J. Burton, U.S. Congressman; Sherm Lloyd, U. S. Congressman; Vernon Rom-ney, attorney general; Sher-man Preece, state auditor; Gol-den Allen, state treasurer. Clyde Jj. Miller, Democrat, seemed to have a comfortable lead over Lamont Toronto, Re-publican, for secretary of state All of the five state consti-tutional amendments were ap-proved state-wid- e by large ma-jorities, the closest vote being on Proposition No. 2, Legisla-tors Compensation. The Initiative Petition for Liquor by the Drink was voted down, almost two to one. In Utah County projected winners were Wallace H. Gard-ner, StPRenaTdrGlen T. Anderson, David C. Harvey, Ralph Benson, Howard C. Niel-so- n, Hans Verland Anderson, Dean C. Christensen, Harold C. Whiting, Verl D. Stone, all for state representatives, and all Republicans, except Mr. Harvey. Stanley D. Roberts and Paul A. Thorn won the County Com-missioner spots. Both are Re-publicans. v ! ..C ; J - v; V i .. s '.'. v '. ,' ' ; v ' r- - , " , i I. - '. t.

Mall Receives Annual Governor's Conservation Trophy by Sandra Fish Central School Teacher Iowa G. Hall, fifth grade tea-cher at Central School, was re-cently awarded the fourth an-nual Governor's Conservation Trophy for his outstanding work in the field of conserva tion education. The award, presented by Governor Calvin L. Rampton, was sponsored by the Utah Conservation Education Com-mittee and hte Browning Arms Co. Each school district in Utah submits the name of one per-son, whom it is felt has made some significant contribution in the area of conservation and outdoor education. From these nominees the State Conserva-tion Committee selects the re-cipient of the award. Mr. Hall has played an im-portant role in establishing sev-eral programs concerned with the outdoor education of the children in all the grades, kin-dergarten through twelfth in our school district. He has played- - ateatiing part in Alpine School District's sum-mer outdoor educational pro-grams involving elementary children at Tony Grove in Lo-gan Canyon. He has also been prominent in "Operation Snow-bank" as well as other con-servation projects. Immunization Clinics Set for Alpine District The Alpine School District will hold immunization clinics for all children of the area, beginning in the month of No-vember. The program will be under the direction of Dean T. Worlton, director of pupil per-sonnel. The immunizations will be given by local physicians, assisted by school nurses at the various schools. All patrons of the district will receive a form that shows the immunizations available and their respective costs. These forms must be signed and re-turned to the school before any child may receive the service. The program will include im-munizations for diptheria, tet-anus, whooping cough and smallpox. Polio, measles and typhoid will not be included in the clinic and must be secured at a physicians office. The following list gives the schedule for the district-wid- e clinic: Clinic Schedules All schedules start at 9:15 at each school. Lindon Nov. 8, Dec. 6 and Jan. 13, Dr. Barrett.

Gfy Council Has Various Items Discussed at Monday Session With all members answering to roll call and Mayor Paul T. Fordham presiding, the Pleas-ant Grove City Council met in regular semi-monthl- y session last Monday night at city hall. Councilman Jay F. Harmer reported that the Eagle Fra-ternity had requested city per-mission to establish a lodge temporarily for a year in PI. Grove, until a permanent lodge home is established in Ameri-can Fork. In their request, the Eagles stated that they proposed to lo-cate in the now vacant Alpine Villa Cafe. The request was granted.

C of C to Honor Personnel from Schools in Pleasant Grove Area The Pleasant Grove Cham-ber of Commerce will enter-tain all the school personnel of the Pleasant Grove-Lindo- n area with a dinner party, Friday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the high school lunch room, according to Maron Oveson, chairman of the committee on arrange-ments. The purpose of the "Cham-ber of Commerce - Educational Community Banquet," is to stimulate a better association and working relationship be-tween the businessmen and the educational personnel of the lo-cal area, Mr. Oveson explained All principals, teachers, cus-todians, school lunch workers and bus drivers are cordially invited. Special guests will be Superintendent Dan W. Peter-son, Harvey Smith, local school board member and Professor LaVar Rockwood, of the BYU faculty, who will deliver the addres of the evening follow-ing the dinner hour. Special musical numbers will be given by the Jack Larsen family of American Fork. The price of the dinner is $1.25 per plate and tickets may be secured and reservations made by contacting any mem-ber of the Chamber of Com-merce board of directors. In addition to the local edu-cational personnel, the public at large is also invited, Mr. Oveson said. llfEotle Creek i 1 8lta Some folks are astute enough to maintain, that the best way to judge the housekeeping hab-its of a neighbor is by an in-spection of his "back" rather than his "front" yard. In days past refuse and waste, both sol-id and liquid, were just thrown out the back door. Happily of late years, we be-came more sanitation and aes-thetic minded, and as such we have been concerned with san-itary sewage disposal, garbage collection and air and water pollution. Our very existence on this planet depends on how we solve these problems. Last Thursday, upon the in-vitation of a retired mainten-ance worker, I visited the back yard of Utah Coonty's largest neighbor and most important economic mainstay. Geneva Steel's backyard is currently a busy place. The company is in the midst of con-structing a reservoir to put the finishing touches on literally millions of gallons of liquid waste. Like all huge industrial en-terprises, the Geneva Plant must be kept clean. Floors and equipment must be washed down frequently and thous-ands of gallons of water must be used to quench the coke and wash it clean afterwards. The waste water of necess-ity needs to go someplace. And the only place possible is Utah Lake. At present the waste wat-er, containing solid bits of coal and metal, petroleum, oils and certain chemicals, is "settled" in a series of brick bottom pools. Periodically, the flow of wat er in one of the pools is di-verted so that the settlings or "sludge" may be scooped up and pushed away to a refuse heap some distance apart. Judging from newspaper re-ports, this method of purifying the liquid wastes has not been entirely satisfactory. The re-sponsibility for the death of thousands of fish in Utah Lake just west of the plant was re-portedly laid at the door of the huge steelmaking company. When I visited the site of op-erations last Thursday, the af-fluent flowing into Utah Lake was anything but colorless, with some oil still floating on the hurface and a distinct un-pleasant odor noticeable. So, good neighbors as they are, the management personnel at Geneva Steel are doing something about it and at con-siderable expense to the com-pany, as well. With doubt, the re settling and aereation reser-voir, when completed, and in operation, will practically elim-inate all solid, oily and odorous chemical substances from the plant liquid affluent before the water reaches Utah Lake. We all hope so, anyway. Throwing dishwater out the back door was perhaps justi-fiable and tolerable back in Pioneer days, when kitchen doors were small and far be-tween. However, the population and industrial explosion has changed all that. "Backyards" have too often become "front yards" for somebody else. So it behooves us all to keep them clean. So long 'til Thursday . 'Food Storage' Plan Will Be Explained In In dWard Nov. 13 The Second Ward Relief So-ciety are inviting everyone to hear about a new concept in "vitality" food storage. It will feature greater economy, space saving, and increased nutrition (not dehydrated foods). Demonstration and samples given by Mrs. David W. Meyer of Driggs, Idaho will be pre-sented next Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 1:30 p.m. at the Second Ward. Everyone is cordially in-vited to attend. Parents Day Set Friday, Nov. 15 At PI. Grove High The annual Parents Day will be held at Pleasant Grove High School Friday, Nov. 15 accord-ing to Principal Grant Inger-sol- l.

Utah's Master Plan For Higher Education Moving Utah's Master Plan for High-er Education is in its final stage of development, accord-ing to Dr. Merle E. Allen, dir-ector of the Utah Coordrinating Council of Higher Education. The Council is preparing a booklet summarizing the basic goals to be sought and the act-ion necessary to attain them, in an effort to stimulate public discussion of the issues, Dr. Allen said. Such discussion is expected to help the Council shape its recommendation to the 1969 Legislature, he added. Recognizing that all of Ut-ah's public colleges and uni-versities will be affected by the recommendations to be made in the Master Plan, Dr. Allen has asked the presidents of these institutions to organize discussions centered in each institution. It is anticipated that faculties, citizens' advis-ory committees, and interest groups in each area can study the issues, express opinions, (Continued on page 4) Seventh Ward Relief Society Bazaar Set for This Friday The Seventh Ward Relief So-ciety announces their annual bazaar, "Carousel of Values" Friday, Nov. 8 starting at 6 p.m. at the Timpanogos Stake House.
