Rushmore Days of Honor program began May 21 and continues through Sept. 8, with each state and territory in the nation receiving homage at the Shrine of Democracy. Located on a h granite mountain, the Shrine of Democracy was carved by Gutzon Borglum as a monumental summation of the American Republic.

Mary may have written the article while still angry at the ticket she got, and we hope she has different thoughts on thinking it soberly over, but we may or may not be right about that. Sorry, Mary, but that's the way we feel. Go right on writing your thoughts, but don't think you can't be wrong. -- Ye Editor by Mary West I've calmed down a bit in the last week and am in a better frame of mind to write this articles. I recieved a speeding ticket a week ago, and at that time I decided to tell the officer what I thought of the law and our rights. This wasn't my first ticket, but on this particular day I felt frustrated.. I feel that slowly and systematically our rights are being taken away. People don't want the 55 mph limit, other-wise they wouldn't be buying radar detectors, and CB radios and other paraphenalia to detect the police. I told the officer, who was very kind and didn't lock me up, that we didn't want the law. We were threatened that Federal High-way funds would be taken from us if we didn't adopt the law. Why? The Federal funds are yours and mine, how can they take away what is already ours, and not give us the opportunity to vote. It's a plot to raise the price of gas, you know it, I know it. When it gets to the right price, then we'll have plenty of gas.. The government comes up with all these pollution controls that cause you to use more gas, you get less horsepower, burn more gasoline and become more frustrated than ever. The officer stated that I must change my thinking. Of course, we are all suppose to lay down and roll over, change your mind, don't think for yourself Who sets the standards .makes the laws, not the people, not you and I. We just go along and gripe. In about 1971 the plot showed its true true form. You bought a s new pickup and suddenly your mileage was about 6 miles per gallon. You couldn't make it up the hill unless you shifted down. Some mechanics gave the solution, change the pistons to higher compression, course this would only cost you a mere $400. So, many of the people had their engines updated to old standards. Ha, now thats a laugh. You gained back your lost mileage and speed, then they attack us with speed limits. I read somewhere that 85 percent of the cars are over the speed limit. This must be some indication of what we want. It seems to me that all too often we are forced and shackled by laws and rules for our own good. I once heard a lady say that she forced her child to clean a plate, the child kept saying he couldn't eat it all, but mom won out and the plate was clean. The child went directly to the bathroom and vomited, that's the way I feel today. Editor's Note We took a vote in the Review office after reading Mary's article, and 75 of the staff believe she is wrong. The question of gas usage, which originally brought on the 55 speed mile limit, was not the main issue. The 25,000 or so lives saved last year with the speed limit was the main item which caused us to believe that the 55 mile speed should stay. In regard to laws that protect people, if one person wants to break the law and kill themselves, maybe they should have that right, but if Building Permits Reported for July In Pleasant Grove Jack Jeppson reported the building permits for July of 1976, and they added up to nearly a million dollars in new buildings for Pleasant Grove. Well, anyway, $902,236 is nearly a million. 24 new residential construc-tions are scheduled for $882,404 of the total amount, 1 new building, $10,600 and 8 additions and repairs for $9,232 made up the total of 33 permits issued. Last year we issued 250 permits, Jack said for a total valuation of $3,985,847. This year the permits issued so far are 178 for a total valuation of $3,935,969. Building prices are going up or else the buildings are being put up bigger, or maybe a little of both. The United Way allocations committee is composed of 21 community volunteers. |
