The forest Service is com-mitted to doing a quality job. Dr. Nebeker emphasized that each phase of the project will be studied by specialists to ensure strict environmental requirements are included during planning. Once con-struction begins, careful ad-ministration will ensure the work is done as planned. Uinta National Forest Supervisor Don T. Nebeker announced today that he is authorizing issuance of a special use permit which will allow development of the Four Seasons' (Heritage Mountain) resort. The Final Environmental Statement was made available for public review and comment and filed with the Council on Environmen-tal Quality in early October. This document contains a proposal for resort develop-ment which would involve the Rock Conyon drainage and eliminate improvements in Slate Canyon. Responses received concer-ning the Statement have been carefully considered prior to reaching this decision, accor-ding to Dr. Nebeker. No changes in the proposed ac-tion outlined in the Statement have been made. l he f our Seasons proposal has been studied over a period of several years, and a special use permit has ac-tually been in existence since 1959. Studies to reach the decision have included many people within the Forest Ser-vice, as well as those from other government agencies, public organizations, and in-dividuals. Dr. Nebeker emphasized that approval is ony the beginning and a big job remains. The Forest Service must now develop an up-dated, revised special use permit to include necessary clauses to ensure proper planning, construction, and management. Included as permit requirements will be Raymond Walker Selected Finalist in Century III Contest Pleasant Grove High School has just received word that Raymond Walker has been selected as one of the eight finalists to be in-terviewed in the Century III Contest.

Thomas Harrison Speaks At Kiivanis Club fleeting Mr. Thomas Harrison, a member of the Utah State Board of Pardons was guest speaker at the Kiwanis Ladies Night Dinner Last Saturday at the Copper Kettle Restaurant in American Fork. Mr. Harrison spoke in-terestingly and informatively about the functions and operations of the Pardons Board and how it fits into the State's Legal and Penal System. Almost all prisoners in the State Penitentiary are expected to eventually be free, and a prim function of the board is to determine when and how this can be effected in the best interest of the public and of the prisoners. All record, in-cluding the personal history, of each prisoner are resear-- , ched from all possible angles and carefully studied by this very important, but part time, three member board which now consists of a former state supreme court justice, an engineer and a psychologist. The decisions of the board are final and are not subject to review or approval by the governor or any other office. All proceedings are according to fixed rules of conduct. The case of convicted murderer Garry Gilmore was mentioned only briefly. As with similar cases the board may make one of four decisions: (1) Sustain the death sentance by remitting the case to the presiding judge for a new execution date, (2) Commute the sentence to life imprisonment with possible parole in about 16 years, (3) Stay the execution until the U. S. Supreme Court acts on the death sentence, and (4) Pardon the prisoner (a vir-tually impossible even-tuality) . The large audience was intensely interested in the well presented talk, and many participated in a subsequent question and answer session. President Maurice Peterson conducted the meeting and introduced honrary members Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cook (former mayor of Pleasant Grove). President Peterson also introduced his daughter Miss Virginia Peterson of Salt Lake City. Ken Harvey in-troduced the guest speaker. Bill Peterson led the group singing, Cornell Haynie led a pledge to the flag, Harold Jacklin offered the opening prayer and Keith Sterling gave the closing prayer. The club meeting next Saturday will be a work session at the several community im-provement projects being undertaken by the club. V Chief Warns About Winter Chief of Police Michael Ferre' expressed concern today over upcoming problems Pleasant Grove's emergency services might encounter during winter storms in the months ahead. According to the Chief, whether or not an emergency vehicle gets through most often depends on other motorists's ability to move, not its own. "When traffic becomes hopelessly snarled because of stalled cars on snowy or icy roads, "Chief Ferre pointed out, "it's painfully obivous that somebody waited until it was too late to take proper precautions." The Chief then pointed out that a traffic tieup involves more than personal frustrations. Police, fire and ambulance services are disrupted or brought to a complete halt. Abandoned vehicles prevent plows from functioning and then problems are compounded. "Go-power- " recom-mendations, based on fin-dings of the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards and endorsed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, were cited by Chief Ferre': "Suppose you have to stop on an icy he said. "Could you get started again?" "On glare ice, snow tires alone will give about 28, percent better traction than regular highway tire treads. There are other traction aids on the market that will give verying degrees of im-provement, but none can come anywhere near equalling the 630 percent improvement that reinforced tire chains give on ice!" On Loosely packed snow, the National Safety Council's findings show that snow treads provide half again as much pulling ability as regular tires while reinforced tire chains produce about three times the pulling ability of regular tires. Braking distances are also important on winter slick roads. The committee's test findings have this to say about stopping problems: Snow tires may be of little or no help at all for stopping on glare ice, but reinforced tire chains cut braking distance in half. To this, the Chief added a second warning, "Regardless of the traction aid you use for snow or ice, in no instance can you stop, go or steer nearly as well as you can with regular highway tires on dry pavement!" He urged common sense on the part of every driver. Slow down. Think out every maneuver well in advance. Steer, accelerate and stop gently. "If you can not use public transportation and must drive during a severe winter storm, Chief Ferre' concluded, "carry tire chains and be prepared to use them for essential travel." Utah From Bureau Will Gather for Annual Meeting Members of Utah's largest farm organization will gather in Salt Lake City December 8-- 9 in the Utah Farm Bureau Federation's 59th annual state convention. The meetings will be held at the Salt Lake Hilton Hotel. Elmo W. Hamilton, River-ton- , president of the 13,225 member organization, an-nounced an impressive lineup of speakers for the meeting. They include Utah's Senator-elec- t Orrin Hatch, Governor-elec- t Sco.t Matheson, BYU President Dallin Oaks, and John Datt, Farm Bureau's Washington, D.C. legislative specialist. Highlight of the two day convention will be the debate and final adoption of Farm Bureau policy on legislative issues to come before the Utah legislature and the new Congress. Hamilton explained that county Farm Bureaus have spent the past several mon-ths holding local meetings for the organization's member-ship to make policy recom-mendations on these issues. He said this grass roots policy making program was a keystone of Farm Bureau. The Utah Farm Bureau leader will also report to the membership that the organization had grown by more than 1,000 members this year, topping 13,225 member families in 28 coun-ties. The Thursday night, Dec. 9 annual banquet is expected to draw some 700 persons. En-tertainment will be provided throughout the convention by winners of the Farm Bureau Talent Find and by the Utah Boys Choir at the banquet. ' A t u 4 i f-- r t A ? 1 i4,V,S I i k A . iL.

Progress Committee To Conduct Survey This year the Community Progress Committee wants to be able to work more closely with the community. In order to do this they will conduct a survey during January to determine the present at-titudes of the people in the community and identify projects that probably should be undertaken first. Presently the recreation department conducted a sur-vey with the aid of BYU per-son-to get citizens feelings as they relate to recreation in our town. Unlike the survey which took a random sam-pling the January Survey will include every family. In order to gain broad in-volvement and assist in the overall Progress program, there will be five subcommit-tees involved with the main committee. The chairperson of each subcommittee is a member of the overall com-munity progress steering committee. The areas in which the subcommittees will work are: 1. Planning and Initiating, 2. Human Relations and Cultural Enrichment, 3. Economic Development, 4 Physical En-vironment, 5. Community Services. Citizens who might wish to become involved in the com-munity should feel free to contact Delores Bradshaw who chairs the Progress Program or Councilman Mark Bezzant who is the coun-cilman over the program. Recently at an awards banquet for Utah State Community Progress Program, Pleasant Grove received recognition in two areas. They received a first place award for the most overall progress and also shared first place in in-tergovernmental cooperation category with American Fork and Lehi. Downtown to Get Plan, Slight Delay Sorry there has been a delay on publishing the downtown plan, but we thought it would be best to show the entire plan rather than the one block envolved this spring.

The plan is in three phases and only one phase was shown on the drawings presented to the city two weeks ago.
