Show Pleasant Grove Review, Pleasant Grove, Utah Thursday, December 21, 1972 Thursday. December 21. 1972 Attorney SpedUs Out For METROPAC in Area more aisiani exchanges should be provided by some form of usage-sensitiv- e ser-vice." He noted that the counter-p-etition had already de-layed implementation of METROPAC service one year later than previously proposed. Salisbury quoted portions of a Supplemental Order is-sued by the Commission in a previous hearing conduct-ed for METROPAC service in Farmington, Kaysville and Bingham Canyon exchanges. In that order, the Commis-sion said: "It is obvious from the testimony and study in this matter that the solution which exists in North Davis County and other suburban areas of the State is not to simply continue to provide extended area service out-ward from the metropolitan exchanges. Serious consider-ation must henceforth be given to the concept of usage- -sensitive service in which the subscriber, with-in certain limitations, is charged for telephone serv-ice on the basis of frequen-cy, length and distance of the calls which he makes. "In considering future cases, this Commission will give serious consideration to the concept that EAS (Ex-tended Area Service) should generally, be provided only between continguous ex-changes and that calling to Mountain Bell attorney Dave Salisbury said that METROPAC is the solution to the needs of people who desire an economical method of phoning outside their lo-cal calling area within Utah County. In his opening testimony before the Utah Public Ser-vice Commission in Provo, Salisbury said Utah County residents enjoy telephone service on a par with any comparable area in the coun-try or the world. "Despite some of the sug-gestions made by prior wit-nesses, the issue in case is not one of telephone service or the quality of the same," he said, "The real issue in this case is one of price. What should a customer in this county be required to pay for the privilege of call-ing his friends, relatives or business associates in other areas. METROPAC, an optional service would enable cus-tomers to place outgoing, direct-diale- d calls to persons living in localities within an radius of their local telephone office. Customers would pay a monthly pack-age charge, at substantially reduced rates, rather than separate charges for each long distance call. This service would repre-sent a 59 reduction in long distance charges for resi-dence customers and a 38 reduction for business cus-tomers. The METROPAC plan is optional only those who need it would subscribe and pay for the service. "METROPAC is the best way we know to expand the Utah County calling areas without raising rates for ev-ery customer in the county," Salisbury said. The counter-petitio- n en-tered by Sen. Ernest Dean of American Fork and oth-ers asks the Commission to direct Mountain Bell to of-fer area-wid- e toll free call-ing in Utah County. Salisbury said he "con-ceded that everyone natur-ally would like all of the service he can obtain for the least possible cost." However, he added, Moun-tain Bell's position is that the counter proposal is not economically sound, does not represent the desires of the majority of residents of the county if the cost is al-located to all subscribers; and the position advocated by the counter-petitio- n does not represent a proper sol-ution to the problems of subur-ban- urban calling under today's conditions. Winter Driving Brings Recognized Hangups "Most drivers recognize the two big hang-up- s of winter driving inadequate traction and reduced ability to but many drivers neg-lect to compensate for them.' This observation was made recently by Robert D. Bailey, Utah Safety Coun-cil's Vice President for Traf-fic. "To survive on winter roadways drivers must learn to live with these twin bad-weath-driving beasts or get racked up in a crash. Skidding and 'didn't see' ac-cidents are killers that our officers have to clean up af-ter many times every fall and winter," he said. The state safety authority asked drivers to review with them of the bad weath-er roadways hazards, and techniques for handling them, developed over the years by the National Saf-ety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards. WET PAVEMENT. Acci-dents climb when it rains. If rain is heavy your car may start hydroplaning. Tires ride on a sheet of wa-ter off the pavement, and steering control is lost be-fore you realize it. Water skiing is fun but not on the freeway with several tons of Detroit Iron for skis. Dur-ing and after a heavy rain, reduce speed, cheek steer-ing, and allow more space for stopping. SNOW AND ICE. At only 20 miles an hour you can use to to 10 car lengths In getting stopped on ice, com-pared with about one car length on dry pavement. Every driver should learn the technique of "pumping" brakes to slow or stop. If you are trying to stop on ice or hard-packe- d snow, resist the impulse to jam on your brakes. A locked wheel skid can be fatal. Instead jab your brakes on and off quickly three to five times a second. This pumping act-pulli-ability. Always carry tently, helping to retain steering control. EQUIPMENT Regard-less of the types of tires you use, you can't stop on an ice dime, but good treads do help. Tests show that snow tires improve traction considerqably on loosely packed snow, though they arent of any help when it comes to stopping on glare ice. For severe snow and ice conditions, however, rein-forced tire chains provide the ultimate in stopping and booster cables, a tow chain them in the trunk along with a shovel, sand, rock salt or a piece of carpeting, booster cables ,a tow chain or strap, and emergency lighting equipment. SKIDDING Wet ice is especially treacherous. At 30 degrees - near thawing, it is twice as slippery as at zero. Make turns gently and cautiously. Watch for icy patches at bridges and over-passes. Don't brake when you hit an icy spot. Hold the wheel steady and roll through. If you do go into a skid, ease up on the gas and steer in the direction the rear end is skidding. Don't hit the brakes when a skid starts. When you feel yourself coming out of the skid, straighten your wheels. VISION This is the sec-ond Bad Weather Beast. Longer hours of darkness along with rain, sleet, snow and road muck all add to driving hazards. Snow, ice and road sluh must be cleaned off windshields and windows as well as the ;headlights and tail-light- s. Be sure your defroster works efficiently. Singing "Wassail" Traditionally , carols go with the feasting and toastingthat. are part of holiday cheer for a "wassail bowl" is anyW tive beverage, and a "Was. sail" is also a carol. The "wassail" was one of the earlier foims of English carol named, probably, for the Anglo-Saxo- n "weshal " translated as "to be hale or hearty." F)jf !' J XT' x '? ' i r ...m, , i '" " - - viY--, . 'v ' Snowmohilers Rescue Sheep Trapped in Am. Fork Canyon AMERICAN FORK A group of snowmobile enthusiasts rescued a flock of sheep trapped in five feet of snow in Mineral Basin, American Fork canyon, on Sun-day. A dozen sheep were sighted Saturday by a small group of riders in the Pittsburg Lake area. The snowmobilers noted the snow in the area was too deep for the sheep to find food or to move around,- - and two of the flock had died from exposure. The animals had trampled a hole in the snow that was about eight or 10 feet in diameter, according to Ralph McDonald, a ranger with the U.S. Forest Service. The hole protected them from the cold somewhat, but it also held them prisoner, he said. . Snowmobilers William Devey, his son Darrell, John Swenson, Reed Swenson, Melvin Anderson, Gordon Lee and Gunther decided to mount a rescue for the animals. Borrow Cargo Sleds They borrowed two cargo sleds from the forest service, and others from neighbors and , friends and set out Sunday morning. Mr. Devey left on the round trip at 7 a.m. and the others followed about two hours later. The men reported the sheep were so hungry that they had started to eat the wool from each other's backs. The sheep were hard to get out of their self made prison according to the forest ranger. "They appeared very reluctant to leave the hole," he said. Eventually, all of the animals were caught and hog-tie- d and placed on the cargo sleds behind the snowmobiles. Taken to Tibbie Fork The animals were brought to Tibbie Fork recreation area, and the owner, Kenneth Beck of American Fork, picked them up. Mr. Donald said the rescue was a real credit to the snowmobilers who donated their own time, money and equipment to help the animals. "It just goes to show that you don't get all vandalism with snowmobilers," Mr. McDonald remarked, "Snowmobilers are a pretty good crowd overall," he concluded. Dancing with Joy A Christmas carol might also be a Christmas dance Origin of the word "carol" itself seems to trace back to the French word, "caroler" meaning to dance, and carols of yesteryear may have been sung by carolers dancing in a circle. Full of rejoicing, the carols we sing today literally dance with holiday merriment. Very few people know that the lion has an extra claw. It is ; concealed in the hair near the 'tip of his tail.
