FRANK MILLS 2nd In Council Race CORNELL HAYNIE Wins Mayor spot MARK BEZZANT Young City Councilman Haynie, Bezzant and Mills Are Mew City Officials After Tuesday Election W. Cornell Haynie, incum-bent city councilman and May-or pro-te- was the winner in the Tuesday election, and will be the new Mayor of Pleasant Grove when he is sworn in on or around the first of the year. Mr. Haynie had 1067 vot-es, while his opponent, G. Al-bert Spencer got 375. In the race for council pos-itions, Mark Bezzant was the top vote getter, with 790, and he was followed by Frank Mills with 595. .Both"' f these candidates are youAgTrien, un-der 30, and they may put some new and young ideas into the running of Pleasant Grove. Holdover councilmen are D. Ford West, John Huntsman and Neil Fugal. The four other candidates, in order of their vote getting were Kent Prestwich, 528, E. Ted Tucker, 474, Jim Hall, 319 and Delmar Reay, 179. In talking with the candi-dates Wednesday morning, all expressed their thanks to their supporters, and the winners al so said they would now work toward making our city better. The Review thinks that all candidates running for an elec-tion, winners and losers, show a desire to help their fellow men. They should be congrat-ulated, and held in esteem for being willing to run. No one in our smaller cities can get rich pr gain much from being an elected official. Too often, alf they get is the criticism of fellow citizens. Now it's over, lets everyone get behind the new officials and if we criticize, make it Con-structive. i ; , i i a i i AfAAAAAAAfMm&v "A:A-AlWmg$ W90AAA W9ym9mAAAA j - ' t I - - ' - '4 i - ' i " A WILLARD JOHNSON Mayor in Lindon WAYNE JOHNSON Lindon Councilman V.

Will-ar- d Johnson will be sworn in on January 1 as mayor, having polled 288 votes to 160 for Kent Taylor and 109 for Ted Eugene Maag. In a race separated by only 4 votes, V.

Lindon officials said that the polling of the votes will take place Monday, and if any irre-gularity shows up the count could change, but for now, the Johnsons have won in Lindon. Incumbent city councilmen, who were elected two years ago, are LeRoy (Sam) Fryer, Darrell Frampton, and Wayne Shakespearean Play Set for PGHS on Dec. 7 Great things are happening at Pleasant Grove High School this year, the one of the big forward steps is in the area of dramatics. For the first time in the history of the school, the drama department is producing a Shakespearean play. This famous production, which is entitled "A Midsummer Night's Dream," is one of Shakespear-e's most delightful comedies. The plot, which is too com-plicated to tell briefly, deals with two pair of lovers and the mischief done them by the elves and "little people" of the woods. The cast is well into the re-hearsals now, and each is ex-cited about the new and differ-ent type of play. The play is to be done in the original Shakespearean style, that of an arena theatre. In Shakespeare's day, the audience sat around the stage on all sides, close to the actors. Modern attempts to copy this style have allowed the audience to sit in a semi-circle on the stage with the cast in the middle. This makes possible greater involvement and communication between actors and audience.' There are six production dates. The opening night is December 7th, when curtain time will be at 7:30 p.m. On December 8, a matinee of the production will be put on at 3:00 p.m. On the night of Dec. 10 at 5:30, a special Family. Night presentation will be giv- - en. There will be performances during school on the 11th and 12th, and the final performance will be given on Saturday, Dec. 15th at 7:30 p.m. Some of the main characters in the play are Lysander, play-ed by Richard Dilly; Hermia, Nancy Howe; Demetrius, Har-old, Marie Nelson; Oberon, Newell Green; Titania, Elaine Schaelling; Puck, Frank s; and Nick Bottom, Steve Robbins. The cast, which con sists of 45 members, is to num-erous for all the names to be mentioned at this time. David Larsen, the director, says he is thrilled to be able to produce one of the works of this great man. The student dir-ector is Charlene Ostergaard. Social Security Begins to Pay Under New Law The Federal Government will begin making payments next January under the supplemen-tal security income law. The purpose of the law is to pro-vide a basic floor of income for people in need who are blind, disabled, or age 65 or older. The program is being administered by the Social Se-curity Administration, however the payments will be made from general revenue-no- t from the Social Security Trust Funds The new program will sup-plement the income of the aged blind, and disabled to assure a monthly income of $130 for a single person and $195 for a married couple. Eligibility for the payments depneds on a per son's present income and the amount of his resources. The Social Security Admin-istration is now accepting ap-plications for the new supple-mental payments, people who receive state welfare payments need not file applications as they will become automatically entitled to the payments in January, 1974. Older people with little or no income who are blind, disabled, or age 65, may learn more about the new program by writing or visiting the Social Security at 173 East 100 North, Provo, Utah.

Mountain Bell Begins New Building Addition Construction is now under-way on a major building addi-tion in Provo that will provide expanded telephone service for Utah county and the southern According to Provo district manager Merrill Hymas, the groundbreaking for the new $4 million Mountain Bell struc-ture was held Monday, Nov. 5. The new 68,586 square foot ad-dition is being constructed next door to the existing telephone office at 75 East 100 North in Provo. When completed, the addition will house over $10 million worth of long dis-tance call switching equipment Hymas stated that existing call switching equipment is now being used to switch both "local" and long distance calls. "Once placed into service, the new equipment will qualify Porvo as a primary (long dis-tan- c) call switching center," he said. "The only other pri-mary toll center is in Salt Lake City." "The new euipment will switch all long distance calls originating in Utah County as well as the entire southern Utah areas," Hymas explained. "This will allow the present call switching equipment to handle just the 'local' calls, thus providing for the future growth in the Provo area." . Construction is also under-way to complete another three- - Utah area. story addition just west of the present Mountain Bell business office in Provo. The 18,057 square foot structure will cost $692,000 and is scheduled fro completion in March 1974. Hymas noted that these im-portant projects, totaling over $15 million, will more than double Mountain Bell's present investment in Provo. Both pro-jects are necessary to keep up with the growth in the south-ern Utah area. According to local exchange manager Cliff Finch, Mountain Bell has already spent over $150,000 this year in Pleasant Grove to provide local residents with ANI (Automatic Number Identification) equipment. The new ANI servcie did away with operator identification of num-bers on all direct distance dial-ed calls, plus allowing the com-pany to issue a more accurate statement. Finch said, an additional $135,000 was spent to install 400 new lines in the Pleasant Grove telephone building. The added lines were necessary to meet the demands of the areas growth. "Our original record budget for 1973 was set as $57 mil-lion," Hymas said. "To keep pace with Utah's phenomenal growth, we'll spend over $65 million by years end just to meet customer demands for phone service."

Stephen Warnick Farm Bureau Essay Winner The Utah County Farm Bur-eau held their annual elections and business meeting Thursday November 1st at the Orem City Center, Orem, Utah. By vote of the delegates at-tending, they opposed regulat-ions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OS-qH-and Environmental Pro-tection Agency (EPA) that are detrimental to agriculture. Reg-ulations have taken the force of law to restrict practices that are essential to economic farm production. The agriculture in-dustry recognizes the import-ance of protecting the enviorn-men- t. Production of food and fiber depends on how well farmers and ranchers do the job. The agriculture group oppos-ed State and Federal purchases of large land sections. Private lands have been taken for pub-lic use at a rate that should be reduced. Land use planning programs in Congress have drawn public attention to the need for planning but has caus-ed concern over who will do the planning. The Farm Bureau organization favored vesting authority for such at the local level. The farm group favored working more closely with the consuming public to insure a better understanding of the re-quirements to produce an abun-dant, high quality food supply.
