It has grown slowly but fairly steadily since that time until it presently a building of about 14,000 square feet and employs around 20 men. The parent fac-tory is situated in Old Say-broo- k, Connecticut. Mr. Stueck said that expan-sion was brought about by the fact that three product lines need to be produced that they have not been able to produce in the Connecticut facilities. He said that the advantages of situating in Utah are num-erous. The area is close to the west coast, yet the property and building rates are much lower than the coast itself. The desire of the state to encour-age new industry has resulted in available financing. The ex-istence of technical schools al-so means a good work force. Mr. Stueck said he had four men working and three of them are Utah Technical College grads, and the fourth, who will graduate in June, now works part time.

The Pleasant Grove Chapter of the National Association of University Women is currently sponsoring an exhibit of the paintings of local artists. The pictures are on display at the Utah Power and Light Co. of-fice and the Bank of Pleasant Grove. The paintings will be chang-ed each month and will continu, to be dispayed at the two loca-tions until Pleasant Grove City provides a suitable and per-manent gallery for the displays according to the sponsors. In- - j Battle C!reek '"J? .5 gjgrsgg7 A short news clip on the tele-vision the other night shook me up so forcibly that I have not been the same since. The picture showed several large Ponderosa pine trees in the mountains east of Los Angeles. The trees were dead as door nails from the trunks to the tops and the needles and smal-ler branches had blown away with the wind. The commenta-tor said that the trees had been killed by the air pollution, commonly called "smog" in California. What hit me above the chin was the question: "If the smog is doing that to strong, healthy forest trees, what is smog do-ing to the eyes and lungs of men, women and children?" What are fog and fumes do-ing to people in Salt Lake and Utah Valley every time we have an "inversion" and at other times as well? Scientists who have studied the situation, state that over 50 per cent of Utah's air pol-lution is caused by the exhaust gasses from motor vehicles. Sulfur Dioxide and Carbon Monocide in the exhaust fum-es are the culprits, they say. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon. When pure hydrocarbons burn completely they produce water and carbon dioxide, neither of which is regarded as actually poisonous. However, when car-bon burns partially, carbon monoxide is produced a dead ly poison. In addition, gasoline contains varying amounts of sulfur. When sulfur burns, it produces sulfur dioxide. When sulfur doixide fuses with water, sul-furic acid is produced a dead-ly corrosive reagent. So it would seem in all reas-onableness, that the way to eli-minate all pollution from the exhausts of motor vehicles is first to find a way to remove the sulfur from the gasoline and then burn the fuel com-pletely in the automobile's cy-linders. Motor vehicle manufacturers say that these two things are difficult to do. Hence they have not done it. Well sir, walking on the moon was difficult, too.. But we did it,, because we devoted our brain power and unlimited resources toward making the moon landings an accomplish-ed fact. Industry, too, can continue to do more and more to reduce spilling poisonous gasses into the atmosphere. Only puny ef-forts have been made in that direction so far. Which is more valuable to humanity, pure, clean air with which to fill our lungs, or ex-ploratory trips to Mars and Jupiter? Why visit other planets, until we have cleaned up the mess we have made on our own? So long 'til Thursday. Founders Day Set For Feb. 5 at PI. Grove High Do we know the true facts about sex education in our Ut-ah schoods? Plan now to be in attendance at the annual Founder's Day program being sponsored PTA at Pleasant Grove High School Thursday, February 5 at 7:30 p.m. Robert L. Teake, specialist in Health and Physical Educa-tion, State Board of Education, will present the facts on what children are really being taught in Utah schools in regard to sex education. Mr. Leake will also discuss the problem of drugs. Everyone is urged to be in attendance. Main Street Crash Causes $1,000 Damage Monday A two-ca- r collision on Pleas-ant Grove's Main Street Mon-day at 10:30 a.m. caused an estimated total damage of $1,000 to both cars, according to Police Chief Mike Ferre. Investigatin gofficers report-ed that Ruby Ann West was driving north, when her car was hit by a car driven by Kelley Giles, as Mr. Giles backed out from a curb-sid- e parking lane. No injuries, other than minor shock, resulted, Chief Ferre re-ported. 32 t Ce&i of Stake Attend Conference Throngs of members and friends attended the 10 a.m. Sunday session of Timpanogos Stake Quarterly Conference.

Stake President Boyd L. Fugal conducted. The morning session opened with the congregation singing "Now Let Us Rejoice," direct-ed by Harvey Rawlinson with Nelda Rawlinson at the organ. The invocation was offered by Danny Smith. The following church business was conducted by Elder Chris-tiansen: President Ertmann H. Christiansen was released with a vote of thanks as second counselor in the Stake Presi-dency and Leon R. Walker was sustained to replace him.

Fugal was al-so sustained as a member of the High Council. Lena Wilson, JoAnn Green, Earlene Olsen and Bea Walker were released as president, first counselor, second counsel-or and secretary, respectively of the Stake Primary Associa-tion. Joyce Phillips, Myrlene Tip-pit-s, Frances Haddock and Car-ol Harper, respectively, were sustained to fill the vacancies in the Primary organization. President Fugal presented the names of a number of men for approval to be ordained to the offices of High Priest, Sev-enty and Elder. Stake Clerk Clyde R. Hill presented the names of all Church and Stake authorities for the sustaining vote of the congregation. The affirmative vote was announced as unani-mous. The Third Ward Choir, direc-ted by Geraldine Roos and ac-companied by Ann McCausland sang "The Lord's Prayer," as the second choral number. President Fugal, as the first general session speaker, intro-duced the conference theme, "Preparing Church Members for Temple Marriage." He ask-ed for suggestions from stake members as to how best to ac-complish this work. He also admonished the young people to follow the ad-vice of their Seminary teach-ers. "The Home Evening is perhaps our greatest opportun-ity to lay the foundation for Temple Marriage," he said. He also said to avoid pro-crastination in having temple ordinances performed and list-ed the advantages of Temple marriage. Teenager, Sister Carma Bas-tia- n answered the question, "Why I am Choosing a Tem-ple Marriage" and listed things to do in preparation and the blessing which will follow. President Christensen follow-ed and expressed appreciation for the 13 years he had served in the Stake Presidency. He gave sincere thanks to the stake officers and the stake membership for their consider-ation, love and support. He asked the same for President Walker. Little Sister Dianne Black-ha-expressed appreciation for her church membership and told of the values that come from the Family Home Even-ing. Nancy Ekins and JoAnn Cot-tar- n sang a duet "Home Sweet Home," with choral accompani-ment by the Third Ward Choir. President Elwood Allen gave thanks for the beautifu floral display and the inspiring con-ference music. He spoke of the discouraging paradox where in America we have increasing church attendance but decreas-ing honesty and morality. He told of the need for being poor in spirit and free from pride. During his first remarks as a member of the Stake Presi-dency, Leon R. Walker express-ed appreciation for the con-fidence displayed by the Gen-eral Authorities in his recent appointment. He bore a strong testimony to the truth and ef-fectiveness of the gospel. For the "rest song," the choir and congregation sang "How Firm a Foundation."
