Show Chirsfmas Sales Promotion in "igh Gear, First Drawing Sei for Friday Christmas Sales Promotion Days in Pleasant Grove got underway last Saturday with the turning on of Christmas lights and the visit from Santa Claus. Members of the Cham-ber of Commerce, Maron Ove-so- n and his Utah Power & Light Co. truck, and the Key Club at the high school, all gave assistance in getting up the lights and getting the area downtown ready for Christmas A good feature is the play-ing of Christmas music during this season. Stop and listen to it when you're downtown. It might take away a little of the cares and worry of your day. Santa Claus, 'Tacky" the Clown, and "Hector" arrived Saturday to turn on the lights in a parade which consisted of a float, the fire truck and an ambulance similar to the one which the city will purchase if they get the needed funds. "Hector" is the silent one of the last two named, He seldon says very much. Over 400 children were wait-ing to see Santa and receive a treat from his bag of goodies. Prior to Santa's arrival, child-- ren and parents were entertain-ed by a children's chorus from the Lindon Elementary School. Community merchants have participated in providing priz-es for the annual ticket draw-ing days. Besides prizes which merchants will donate there are other prizes purchased by the Chamber of Commerce, to in-clude turkeys, cases of oran-ges and gift certificates. The grand prize will be a portable TV. A free movie is planned for Saturday afternoon Dec. 21 so that parents will be free to do that last min-ute Christmas shopping. Drawings for the prizes will be held Friday, Dec. 13 and Friday, Dec. 20, so don't for-get to get your tickets in the boxes at the local stores prior to these two times. "Hector" a friend and crony of Harvey ''Shorty" Danielson has been seen around town this week. Make a coupon of your own and list the places where you see him for each ofthe six days (Monday thru Satur-day) and win a free family pass to the Grove Theatre. A limit will be made to the number of passes, and coupons must be turned in at Story Pharm-acy or at Farmers Korner in Lindon. If more winners than passes available occurs, draw-ing will be made for the win-ners. They will be announced in the paper and a list posted. The local merchants want to see you in their stores, that's what all this hullabaloo is It makes sense and cents for everyone, in a return of the sales tax to our city, and an increase in money for local merchants who pay taxes here and shop here themselves. In other words, "shop at home" is a paying proposition. "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL.

Commissioners Name Five to Bicentennial Group Utah County Commissioners have named five county people to serve as part of a nine member bicentenial committee for Mountainland Association of Governments. Under an agreement reached last week at the MAG council meeting, the Utah County com-mission was to appoint five members, the Summit and Wasatch county commission-ers, two each. Appointed locally were Jan-ice Mayne, American Fork; Dr. Clinton Larson, Provo; Omar M. Hansen, Provo; Harvey Smith, Pleasant Grove, and Y. Inoye, American Fork. Under the agreement, two of the five were to be elected officials. Mr. Smith as an ele-cted officials of the Alpine School Board joins Mr. Inouye in that category. The nine-memb- committee will recommend bicentennial projects and procedures for the Mountainlnad area. Gdraci3, Contents Bums Up in Last Sunday Fire Chief Keetch said he would es-timate the value at several thousan ddollars. The house sustained minor damage when an electrical line from the garage to house caught the eaves afire. The fire chief said it was necessary to sever the electrical connection to put out that fire. It was estimated he Robb family might be without elec-trical power for two or three days until repairs can be made. Mr. and Mrs. Robb discover-ed the fire when they awoke to popping sounds evidently made by ammunition stored in the garage, Mrs. Robb said. A fruit storage room on the east side of the garage was jsaved and sustained no serious damage, Chief Keetch reported. A garage and its contents, valued at several thousand dol-lars, were destroyed in an ear-ly morning blaze Sunday at the Elton Robb residence, 340 East 300 North in Pleasant Grove. Pleasant Grove Fire Chief Fred Keetch said the depart-ment responded to the call at 6 a.m. and found the struc-ture ablaze. Of particular con-cern, the chief said, was about 50 gallons of gasoline stored in tanks near the burning garage. The tanks were bulging and ready to explode from the in-tense heat when fire crews ar-rived, said Chief Keetoh. Fire-men kept the tanks well cooled with water while they fought the blaze. Twenty firemen and three fire trucks were used to battle the fire which took two hours to extinguish. The chief said they did not yet know the cause of the fire nor the actual value of the garage and its contents. A boat and boat trailer along with many other stored items were destroyed in the fire. Flag Football Players Heed to Turn In Equipment At the conclusion of the Boys Flag-Footba- ll League, there were a number of jack-ets,, wind-breake- and sweat-ers which had accumlated over a period of 5-- 6 weeks. If your boy was one who lost an article mentioned above, the item may be claimed at Bill Hoglunds'. Those articles not claimed after several weeks, will be given to the Deseret Industries. lv H" 4 - I " - ,J H.' ' - jX I ; ; u , , r.-- r I ; I M'i; . l ! i " If - i f - ' 1 l I . (, 1 I r f - - .'

Christensen, at Geneva Steel Company. 5,000 SteelmaIters Are Waging War on Litter The 5,000 steelmakers at Geneva Works today opened an all-ou- t effort to end litter-ing. Picking up what is fast be-coming a nation-wid- e effort, the Utah County steelmakers began a "Pitch In" program that is designed to stop the littering that spoils the beauty of our environment. Throughout the huge plant, ''Pitch In" signs, the reminder to stop littering, have gone up on billbords, posters, bumper stickers, hard hats, lunch box-es and on litter containers throughout the facility. The Geneva Pitch-I- n drive is sponsored by the Geneva Joint Union - Management Producti-vity Committee: Edward B. Anderson, United Steelworkers Local 2701; Val E. Christensen, Local 3736; LaMar Wilde, Lo-cal 5236; and Frank M. Horg-an- , Geneva general superinten-dent and company chairman. All of Geneva's employees are pledged to "Pitch In" and they are counting on all resi-dents of the area to follow their lead. The drive has special mean-ing at Geneva because employ-ees and their families share a special stake in the fight again-st litter. For example, a deter-mined effort by enviromental interests is now underway to gain enactment of "Ban the Can" law by the legislature of Utah and other western states. Whatever form it takes, the effort of such legislation is to restrict, if not eliminate the sale of soft drings and bever-idge- s on nonreturnable con-tainers such as cans. The Utah steelmaking team is the primary producer of steel for tin plate in the west-ern United States. Each year approximately one - third of Geneva's annual total produc-tion goes to Pittsburg Works near San Francisco for finish-ing into tinplate. To produce the steel requir-ed to make this product takes approximately 5,000 Geneva employees working the equiva-lent of nearly three months each year. This represents at nearly $20 million.
