Grove Aug. 11. Wasatch Bank of PL Grove Opens Doors on Aug. 1 1 past when neighbor to neighbor help-fulness was the rule, and modern "necessities" were not even a dream for the future. The bank has a huge parking area for approximately 50 cars, all convenient to either en-trance. Wasatch Bank of Pleasant Grove is in operation now and a Grand Opening event, to which the public will be invited, is being planned for September 4th and 5th. Wasatch Bank feature several new banking services, including four Drive-i- n stalls under cover, plus longer banking hours for customer convenience. Wasatch Bank of Pleasant Grove opened its doors for business on August 11. The Bank, located at 225 South Main, features a massive bronze plaque carrying the bank symbol and an eagle with spread wings. The sculpture, mounted prominently at the front of the building, was designed by Neil Hadlock of Orem, Utah, who has won reknown for his execution of the bronze castings for the Washington L.D.S. temple and for his bronze reproductions of sculptures done by the famous Western artist, Cyrus Dallin. The interior of the new bank displays a beautiful painting by local artist Gary Smith that depicts Pleasant Grove's downtown as it looked 100 years ago. The painting, com-missioned by Interior Designer Lance Turner, is an ap-propriate salute to our Pioneer Heritagea reminder of the Carl Carnesecca, Vice President and Cashier is the Manager of the new bank. Carl, originally from Mapleton, Utah, married the former Diane Walker, a native of Pleasant Grove. He attended Utah State University and Snow College and has been active in banking for many years. He is a graduate of the National Commercial Lending School at the University of Oklahoma and prior to being tapped for his new assignment as Manager of Wasatch Bank of Pleasant Grove was Manager of the Murray Office of Zions First National Bank. Carl hopes that his new assignment will leave him enough time to indulge his love of summer fishing and hunting and winter snowmobiling. The architect for the new building was Bruce Dixon. The construction contractor is Jensen Brothers. According to Bank President, Jackson Howard, the structure represents a $350,000 in-vestment. C of C Asks Citizens to Help Them The Chamber of Commerce, holding monthly meetings, would like the citizens of Pleasant Grove to be a part of their organization, and Jennie Gilbert, C of C board member, monthly writes a summary of of the meetings. This is done also in an effort to gain citizens support in helping to improve our city, making it a better place to raise a family or run a business. Councilman K. Mark Bezzant was present at the meeting and asked for time to present plans for redevelopment of down-town. He presented several plans, discussing each one. Some very worthwhile ideas were presented and the Chamber felt as the city council does that there is a strong need for improvement of some kind. These plans are in the talking process only at this time, but the Cof C feels that some action can be taken if enough people are interested. Two board members were chosen to work on the development of these plans with the city council. Surrounding cities have been aware of a need to spruce up their business district, and we feel we can no longer sleep. Pleasant Grove has been named as a bedroom city, but businessmen and the city council are now going to see what can be done in bringing in new business or improving what we have. Available space for business on Main Street is a problem at the present time, but the new plans call for in-creasing this spuce, and enlarging our business area. In line with this improvement of the looks of our business houses and area will help keep money from sales tax in our city and will benefit us all. An approach was made to the Chamber about sponsoring or trying to locate a sponsor for signs at our city entrances, but the Chamber felt it was not necessary at this time. A recap of the C of C in-volvement in Strawberry Days was discussed. The Queens float has been entered in several parades. Repairs are are the major problem in keeping the float available to finish out the year in entering it in other city parades. The' chamber feels the float makes for good public relations and recognition for out city. I ; ., :.. I f ?

Concluding a very successful season competitive Swimmers, who are the "best team in Utah Valley" winning the County League, enjoyed a swim party and family picnic last week. Organized by outgoing of-ficers of the Parents Organization, Coral Hicks, Shirley Stott and Emily San-derson, the party was held in conjunction with the award presentations. Trophies were presented to swimmers in each age group who accumulated the most points for the team. They were: Girls 8 and under, Krystin Hill, 9 and 10, Nina Wilhite; 11 and 12, Gaylynn Taylor; 13 and 14, Holly Smith; 15-1- Molly Wright. Boys 8 and under, Nathan Bir-chall; Brock Bennett; Derek West; 13-1- Raymond Morton; 15-1- Stacey Smith. The coaching staff expressed appreciation for individual efforts by selecting the most dedicated swimmer awards. These went to: Girls 8 and under, Krystin Hill; Nina Wilhite; Gaylynn Taylor; 13-1- Pam Davis; Molly Wright. Boys 8 and under, Nathan Bir-chall; Brock Bennett; Ray Bennett; 13-1- Riley, Hicks; Mark Crump. A special award was presented to Sharlene San-derson, that of Honorary Team Captain. New officers were elected to serve next year on the Parent Committee. Shirley Stott will be president with Mrs. Jerry Gelock as vice president and Emily Sanderson as secretary. Officers plan to arrange clinics to provide instruction for parents who will assist as timers and judges. This is a most necessary function at swim meets held at our pool. Disappointment to swimmers often is caused by unqualified help. It is vital that timing and judging is done properly. Team suits that have been outgrown may be turned in to Carolyn Allred 501 East 300 South, across from the pool. As these are resold at a reduced price families have that amount to apply to next years suit. Suits therefore are reserved for team use. Parents are reminded that suits for next year should be ordered now that we may be insured of a sufficient number to be in stock. Contact the Parent Committee officers to do this. Coach Crump expressed a desire to make arrangements for winter workouts, preferably as a team group. If you are interested contact Stan Crump, as arrangements may depend on the number of swimmers who are interested. Calvin Mills Gets Broken Leg in Fall from Truck A Pleasant Grove fireman received a broken leg Monday when he fell from a fire truck making a fun to a brush fire. Assistant fire chief Calvin Mills was taken to the American Fork Hospital by Pleasant Grove ambulance. His leg was reportedly broken in two places. The accident occurred when the fire truck rounded a corner and hit a dip in the road at 100 Kast and 100 South. The truck was enroute to a brush fire at 545 East 100 South. Pleasant Grove Mayor Cornell Haynie saw Mr. Mills take the fall. He then drove the ambulance to the accident scene. Another volunteer fireman on the way to the fire, D.

Mr. West then drove the ambulance to the hospital with a regular ambulance attendant riding with the in-jured man.

Old Folks Party Cancelled by Committeemen Don Fenton, Pleasant Grove Old Folks committee head and Don Draper, Timpanogos stake Old Folks chairman announced Tuesday of this week that the summer party for the senior citizens of the Pleasant Grove area had been cancelled. Mr. Fenton said that because of a commitment to surface the floor at the Tim-panogos Stake House and a conflict on getting the reser-vation on the schedule, there is no place available to hold the party. Another factor, not expected, was that a large number of the committeemen from the various wards in the two stakes are on summer vacation and Mr. Fenton said that about half of the workers would have shown up to host the affair. Senior citizens can expect to have their annual winter party on schedule this coming year, Mr. Fenton said, and it will be a real party. He said plans will be made to make up for the failure of the summer party.

Central Utah Project Will Bring Water This is an article on the Central Utah Project, a major multipurpose water resource development project authorized by Congress as part of the Colorado River Storage Act in 1956. The summer of 1974 was scorching hot in the Uintah Basin. The drought resulted in water rationing in certain areas with some people realizing for the first time how important adequate water storage means to a growing community. This lack of water brought hardship and extreme financial loss to many areas of the Uintah Basin, however much less to the Vernal area. With Vernal's Steinaker Reservoir, part of the Vernal Unit of the Central Utah Project, the city and surrounding area lands received a full allotment of water. In fact, Vernal was one of the few irrigated areas in the Uintah Basin that was able to raise mature crops because of adequate water storage. The irrigation works built on the Vernal Unit store and distribute the excess spring flood flows and winter water of Ashley Creek. Nearly every year the Ashley Creek flows dwindle to an inadequate water supply by the late summer months. With the completion of the Vernal Unit of the Central Utah Project in 1962, Ashley Creek water stored in Steinaker Reservoir is released to provide additionally needed water for irrigation and 1600 IContinued on page 2) Synchronized Swimmers to Perform 3 Nights Synchconized Swimmers from Pleasant Grove and American Fork will combine their talents to perform in "Animation comes to Life".
