Main Street and welcomes shoppers, but seems to warn auto drivers to not make Santa has decorated this post for several years as part of the decorations put up annually. Christmas Sales Days Starts Saturday, Santa is Coming The decorations are up, the lights will be officially turned on Saturday at 4 p.m. and San-ta will come to town to help get things started as Pleasant Grove "officially" gets going on their annual Christmas sea-son. Beginning Saturday also it is hoped the Christmas music will be added to make the next few weeks enjoyable for the Pleasant Grove shoppers. Saturday afternoon, Santa is scheduled at 4 p.m. to turn on the lights, and will also pass out candy for the kids. Par-ents are invited to bring them Saturday morning at 10:30, Maron Oveson and his Utah Power and light Co. truck will be on hand with Cub Scouts of the Pleasant Grove area to dec-orate the huge Christmas tree in front of the city hall. Sales Days for Christmas will start Saturday officially, and participating Pleasant Grove mechants will be doling out the familiar pink tickets for shop-pers to write their names, to participate in the two draw-ings scheduled for Saturday, to town to visit with the jolly old man. Dec. 11 and Saturday, Dec. 18. Tickets will be given on the basis of 1 per $1 purchase. Craig Smith and Paul Smith, C of C chairmen for the Sales Days effort, say that $200 in silver Eisenhower dollars will be given away at the two draw-ings in $5 and $10 amounts, and this will be augmented by some nice turkeys. The number of turkeys to be given away will be determined by the "collection" from local merchants and from the income derived from the sale of tickets to them. The Smith boys said they plan to give away as many turkeys as the C of C promo-tion can afford. The Christmas lights were put up this year by the C of C with Mr. Oveson, being the chief helper with his Utah Pow-er and Light truck. It is hoped that in future years new decor-ations can be added. Ever wonder why the local mechants put on the Christ-mas promotion? Well, we hope it promotes local business. The merchants are our neighbors, friends and fellow taxpayers, and they help to support this community and make it a good place to live. Let's turn things around a little and support the local merchants for our Christ-mas and everyday shopping needs. Wrestlers at PGHS Off to Good Start with Three Wins Already Pleasant Grove High School "Rasslers" defeated Tooele 45 to 13 Tuesday evening at the Tooele High School gym, and served notice they are to be reckoned with in the wrestling game this year. The Junior varsity took the measure of the Tooele junior teac by 59 to 6 also, and it looks like Coach Darold Henry is planning a long reign as coach of a good team. In previous matches, not re-ported before to the Review, the Vikings took the measure of Cyprus High School on Nov. 18, 36 to 27 and whipped Bing-ham High School on Nov. 23, 41 to 14. Also on Tuesday night, Nov. 30, the Viking "B" team went to Gransville and defeated the wrestlers there 35 to 18. This shows some of the depth that Coach Henry has. Match Results Tooele 98 lbs.

Bigler, regional director of public relations for U.S. Steel, as volunteer chairman of the 1972 "Take Stock in America" Savings Bonds campaign in Utah, was announced Saturday by Wendell Gile, state chair-man, Savings Bonds Division, U.S. Treasury Department. In this position, Mr. Bigler will succeed Clark L. Wilson, manager, Utah Operations, An-aconda Co., who directed a highly successful campaign this year, Mr. Gile said. The new chairman in 1972 will head up a campaign by Savings Bonds volunteers thru-ou- t Utah to enlist citizens for the first time in Payroll Sav-ings or Bond-a-Mon- th plans or increase their participation un-der these programs. "Next year's campaign will stress that the purchase of U. S. Savings Bonds represents a compelling opportunity for ev-evr-y citizen to take a personal stake in the future of his coun-try and insure, at the same time, his own independence," Mr. Bigler said. Vikings Win Close Game Last Saturday Night, Play This Week Last Saturday, Nov. 27, Pleasant Grove defeated an ag-gressive North Summit team, 64-6- 2. Robert West led the Vik-ing attack with 22 points, inclu-ding a go-ahe- basket with 20 seconds to go. Wayne Allred and Russell Adams, two hustling juniors, chipped in 17 and 11 points re-spectively. Steve Ingersoll add-- ed 7 timely points, and captur-ed the key rebound at the end of the game to clinch the vict-ory. Tom Hamann added 4 points and a good floor game and Bob Lott and Scott Story did yeoman work coming off the bench. With the tallest starter at 6--1 the Vikings face some real challanges against the schools of Region IV this year. But with good and overall hustle, many opponents should know they've been in a ball game. Other team members include Roger Carson, senior, who has been recovering from an in-jury, and juniors Greg Bean, Russ Eyre, Chad Murdock, Ron Johnson and Steve Shoell. The Vikings play Wasatch on Friday at 6:15 and 8:00 p.m. and Millard in a Saturday af-ternoon game, the Jaycee at 2:15 and the varsity at 4:00.

Wightman, Coun-ty Democratic Party chairman, Provo. Also included on the committee are two legislators, Representative Howard C. Niel-so-n and Senator Ernest H. Dean.

'Galerie' Art Show Open House Sunday, Dec. 5 An open house to acquaint residents of the area with ser-vices offered at the new "Gal-erie Reception Center, 215 No. Center, in American Fork, will be held at the center on Sun-day, Dec. 5, from 1 to 7 p.m. The reception center, operat-ed by Alan and Priscilla Baird, is "basically for weddings" but is also available for luncheons, banquets, recitals and other functions according to Mr. Baird.

"A combination of bad wea-ther, road conditions, and driv-ing errors," Karl Richards, Di-rector, Safety Council for Utah County said, "lead to traffic mishaps which claim lives, pro-duces injuries and contribute to a staggering economic loss which affects all drivers." The accidents being reported on the State's streets and high-ways, it was pointed out, are of-ten the product of good driv-ers who know better, but fail to exercise good judgment. The bad drivers, those who have accidents repeatedly and or receive traffic citations, can-not be held totally accountable for the accident picture. "Good drivers should want to become better drivers," said Richards, "by enrolling in a Defensive Driving Course being sponsored by the Safety Council for Utah County. This eight hour course," he continued, "teaches the good driver how to recognize danger on the streets and highways and what evasive actions should be tak-en in order to avoid being an accident victim."
