Silvester, cen-ter, discuss United Fund goal for 1973 with Jim Hollandsworth, left and Bob Smith, right, key members in team drive which will try for goal of $285,000 for Utah County. $205,000 United dfive Kicked Off afl Friday Lunclieoti United Fund of Utah Coun-ty, last Friday, launched its ninth annual campaign in an all-o- effort to raise $285,000 for support of 17 member agencies in Utah County, including Boy Scouts of America. An estimated 300 County leaders from business, labor, government and education took part in the kickoff rally last week at a luncheon in the Wilkinson Center at BYU. Richard S. ' Stone, general campaign chairman, 1973, em-phasized the "crucial nature" of the countywide campaign and called this year's goal "the most important ever project-ed" by the locally owned and operated United Fund. Brigham Young University Athletic Director Stan Watts was the main speaker at the gathering last Friday, and call-ed for leadership and team-work by campaign volunteers as the keys to achieving the goal for 1973. He urged all Utah County citizens to rally behind their United Fund and support the member agencies locally which provide vital health, youth guidance and welfare services in their area. Olympics silver medal win-ners Ralph Mann and L. J. Silvester, both of BYU, also played leading roles in Fri-day's kickoff rally and charg-ed campaign chairmen to meet the goals established for each phase of the drive. Also reported Friday were the results of the "Early Bird" campaigns to set an example for others in Utah County. Mr. Stone said Friday the goal of this fall's campaign took into account an unexpect-ed decline in pledge receipts from last year's drive, caused by lower than normal levels of employment and operation in key sectors of the Utah County economy late in 1971 and early this year. In calling for the "concern-ed support of all citizens" to make up this difference and meet local needs next year, he emphasized that United Fund of Utah County is an independ-ent corporate entity that is wholly owned and directed by the citizens of Utah County who contribute each year. "It's our United Fund," he said, "and it's squarely up to us to meet the needs of our community, as determined by our local directors." Mrs. Beth West of Pleasant Grove will head up the drive in the Pleasant Grove area in the Community Division. Services supported by Unit-ed Fund of Utah County are: Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America; Utah County Chapter, American Red Cross; American Cancer So-ciety; Utah Heart Association; Girls Scouts; Cystic Fibrosis; Diabetes; Help, Inc.; Utah County Chapter, Mental Health Association; Multiple Sclerosis Utah Valley Care and Training Center; Salvation Army; Unit-ed Servicemen's Organization (USO); and Utah County Blind Association. Lindon City Council Uems tf Several Municipal Problems The Lindon City Council met for their regular meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Mayor Stanley Walker conducted and all councilmen were present. Police Officer LaMar Jolley gave the police report for the month of August. $115 were collected in fines and forfeit-ures, 34 warnings were given and 7 assists to other police departments made. Mr. Jolley also stated that citations will be issued to all youths under 16 found driving a motorized vehicle of any kind. A brief discussion was also had by the council on the firing of firearms in the city limits, and especially during the pheasant season. Don Gillies of the Lions Club reported the completion of the Veterans Pavilion and the ben-ches and chairs installed. He said all money had been spent except $6.68. Mayor Walker commended Mr. Gillies and the Lions Club for a worthy pro-ject, and it was also pointed out that liquid plastic should be applied to the chairs and tables before winter sets in to help preserve them. Mayor Walker reported he had been contacted by Orem City in regards to their need for culinary water. He felt that Lindon City is in a position to sell culinary water at the pres-ent time, and especially if the city utilizes their present ap-plication for another well. Mayor expressed a need for updating the house numbering within the city. The Mayor also made com-plimentary remarks about the success of the recent Lindon Community Fair. A suggestion was made that the Planning Commission make a master plan for all city prop-erty. In the meantime, it was felt that all old fruit trees should be removed from city property. A short discussion was held regarding the necessity of the area on Locust Ave. to accomodate the anticipated buildings to be erected by the Alpine School District. Coun-cilman Wendyl Jarvis said the school district should submit a plan of their buildings before any work is done on the of the area. Building permits for homes have been given to Len An-derson, Rulon Madsen and Mark Christensen and to W. Clark Collings for an addition. Councilman LeRoy Fryer re-ported that the long existing1 drainage problem at the city office building had been cor-rected. Street grading will be done within the next few days and work at Dry Canyon Springs has been completed. Councilman Jarvis also stat-ed that Wallace Harding of Harding Custom Fencing is in-stalling the fence around the city water storage, and that a dog pound will be taken care of at the same time. Councilman Frampton repor-ted that Cline Campbell had been hired as a part-tim- e pol-iceman, to work 20 hours per week. He said that Officer Wilkinson is at the present time attending the police acad-emy in Salt Lake City. With the approval of the City Coun-cil, Mr. Frampton said he would have Officer Wilkinson and Jolley sign a contract that they would not leave the em-ploy of the city for at least one year after completing the schooling at the police acad-emy. Mr. Frampton stated also that a statement should be sent to Gary Walker for $75 and Guy Moore, also for $75 for a fire incurred during August, and also to Ted Garfield for $150 for a fire in August. After a brief discussion, City Council members concurred in locating the police department office on the main floor of the city office building, but stated the room should not be kept locked. A locked room for evi-dence has been provided in the basement. The police car is to be serviced at the city shops. Councilman Dale Gillman said that Charles Rodeback would conclude his services to the city for the year, as of Sept. 30. Ordinance on Firearms in City To Be Enforced Police Chief Michael Ferre announced this week that the ordinance regarding shooting firearms within the city lim-its of Pleasant Grove will be enforced starting immediately. Because of the property dam-age and household pets being shot, an all out effort will be made to get this shooting stop-ped, and violators prosecuted, Chief Ferre said. The city code states: "It shall be unlawful for any person to fire, discharge or set off any gun, pistol, or firearm of any description or instrument load-ed with powder or other ex-plosive within the city." Chief Ferre said that this enforcement of the law will in-clude all hunting seasons, such as dove, pheasants, deer, etc., and that from now on shoot-ing within the limits of Pleas-ant Grove City will be consid-ered illegal. Anyone seeing anyone shoot-ing in the city limits should report it to the Police Depart-ment, Chief Ferre stated. FFA Students Win Prizes at State Fair FFA students from the Pleas-ant Grove High School scored some places at the recent Utah State Fair, and the following were listed by them in the var-ious categories at the fair: Dairy Russ Adams was given an "A" grade for junior and sen-ior heifer and also old cow.

New Flag Pole Erected at Richards Home A flag raising was held on Tuesday morning at the home of Mrs. Gertrude Richards, 97 South 600 EasV'in which the members of the Clifford Bezz-an- t family also participated. Mrs. Bezzant is Mrs. Richards daughter, Ruth. The flag, given to Mrs. Rich-ards recently at the death of her husband Riley, was raised by the Bezzant boys, both Boy Scouts, and the pledge of allegiance given by the entire family. A simple ceremony, perhaps emulated in numerous places throughout America, but also unique for Mrs. Richards be-cause of the new flagpole she has on the south side of her home. Carl Parry, Pleasant Grove, who works at Geneva Steel, stopped by recently Mrs. Rich-ards said, and offered to build her a flagpole so that she might fly the flag given to her. Mon-day Carl brought the pole and with the help of another friend of Riley's, Norman Stott, set it in concrete. A simple thing, a little work, a bit of pipe and some rope, and yet the spirit and thought behind the deed might be car-ried out by all of us in our daily lives, and make us feel as Mrs. Richards does, that we should have faith and apprec-iation for our fellow men. - ; t .

Resurfacing Street On 2nd South To Wait for Spring Users of Second South will be less than delighted to hear . that the work of resurfacing the street will be delayed un-til next spring, according to word received from city em-ployees this week. The work was waiting the removal of the telephone poles back nearer property lines so the street could be widened as it was resurfaced, and due to the delay in getting this done and the approach of winer, it was felt by the city council that it could not be finished in time for winter, and that the situation then would be much worse than if they waited. They stated that at the ear-liest opportunity in the spring the work would then be moved ahead. In the meantime, come down Second South carefully and you might save your tires and shock absorbers until spring.
