This will cover the period from Jan. 1, 1972 to June 30, 1972. Then on Jan 5, 1973, Pleas-ant Grove City will receive its second installment in the same amount. This will cover the period from July 1, 1972 to Dec. 31, 1972. Then thereafter, Pleasant Grove will receive money quarterly on the Rev-enue Sharing Law. This money can be spent for such things as public safety, environmental protection, pub-lic transportation, health, rec-reation, libraries, social serv-ices for the poor and aged, fin-ancial administration, and cap-ital expenditures. The money cannot be spent for education, nor can it be used for match-ing funds for other federal grants. The city will have 18 months to allocate the money for pur-poses it sees fit to use the money for, and 24 months to spend the money on these al-locations. The citizens will have a chance to express their feelings as to how this money is to be spent, because a pub-lic hearing is required before any monies may be spent. This money should give PI. Grove City a real shot in the arm and will help us get some of the things really needed by the city. Water for Wes is Still Priority, Says Senators Watering the West should still be a high priority for the federal government say Utah's two senators. Sen. Frank E. Moss, Demo-crat, and Sen. Wallace F. Ben-nett, Republican, both agreed on that issue during the clos-ing session of the National Water Resources Association's 40th anniversary convention this past weekend. The NWRA was started in Salt Lake City in the early 1930s to rejuvenate the Bur-eau of Reclamation as a force for economic development in the Western States through op-ening of irrigation lands. The organization now has 18 mem-ber states, including Hawaii. We have finally reached the stage in the Upper Colorado River project where we are be-ginning to realize some of the benefits which were for so long only dreams in our master plans," said Bennett to the more than 600 delegates. The Utah Republican said he has spent much of his 22 years in the Senate working to se-cure water development for Utah and added, "there is noth-ing more important to the con-tinued economic growth in this part of the country than a sys-tematic development of our water resources." Moss reaffirmed his support of continued water develop-ment. "We must have new and appropriate planning criteria for water development and more consideration for the needs of municipalities and in-dustries," he said.

Jacobs, president of Bank of Pleasant Grove, said, "we are establishing this home loan cash fund to help our neighbors participate in the extraordinary building growth we've been enjoying. If any-one in this area is considering buying or building; we're here to help them at the Bank of Pleasant Grove."

Bailey, Vice President tfic Safety, Utah Safety Coul, in a statement made recer. "Many itorists practice technique snow and roi but fail to do so at other tin of the year," the safety offii said. "This pro-cedure sho become a regul-ar safe drn practice, regard-less of theather." He was rfing to the wide-ly publishcechnique of ap-plying the.kes gently from time to ti to get a sense of feel foe interaction be-tween, thee and road and then adjusting driving habits accordingly. He cited the following ad-vantages of practicing this technique routinely, and cer-tainly whenever there is any question at all as to the con-dition of either your brakes or the road surface: 1. On dry surfaces you'll get a reading of how well your brakes are operating. Water, overnight moisture, or the need of adjustment can cause slipping and grabbing brakes that will throw you out of control. It's best to have your braking system inspected, in winter by a qualified auto mechanic along with a pre-wint- er check of your car. 2. In addition to snow or ice, unstable traction can re-sult from water on the road, calling for a "feel of the road" test by braking, or by acceler-ating carefully to see if and when wheels spin. Few drivers realize the extremely hazard-ous condition resulting from a combination of worn tires, traffic slicked pavements and heavy rain. Bailey's recommendation was one of six steps to safer winter driving developed by skid-teste- rs of the National Safety Council's Committee on Win-ter Driving Hazards, all of which makes good sense, ac-cording to Bailey. Maintain ample following distances stretch them out when driving conditions are less than ideal. "Pump" your brakes to slow or stop three to five times a second to keep the wheels rolling itermittently; this helps to maintain steering control. Always drive on good tires with good treads. Use snow tires or studded tires (where permitted) under winter con-ditions. Carry reinforced tire chains use them for maximum trac-tion in deep snow or glare ice. Keep windshield and all windows clear. When wiper blades streak, replace them; and keep your windshield washer fixed with the recom-mended mixture of windshield antifreeze and water. |
