' j& J i j ; NEW LOOK INSIDE While the front hasn't changed appreciably there is a new look inside at Farmers Korner in Lindon. The store is readying a grant opening to start today and run through next Wednesday. Let's all go out. lock Inside . . . Formers Horner in Lindon Remodels, Grand Opening Set for Mar. 24 to 30 Farmers Korner, highway 89 in Lindon, has expanded over the years until now it is a modern grocery store, com-plete with meats and a com-plete line of grocery items. In addition it has a nice variety of gift items in its gift shop. People going by the store, will probably not think much change has been made, until they go in to shop. From the front, the store doesn't look like it could house the modern store which has been build on the rear of the older structure. The Farmers Korner was originally owned by D. H. and Pearl Fowlke, and evolved from a fruit stand operation into a convenience shopping store and a gift shop. In 1973, the store was sold by the Fowlkes to its present owners, Mary Ann and Tom Swan from Ham-mond, Indiana and Liana and Cliff Wallman, from Highland, Indiana. Tom and Cliff were both phone company employees, and they were looking for something to get away from the 8 to 5 routine. They found it, and now they operate a store which stays open from 7 in the morning until 10 at night, seven days a week. The Wallmans have three children, Cliff, 15, Ginny 13 and Robert 10, and the Swans have one daughter, Laura, 12. Both couples and their children are interested in skiing, fishing and hun-ting, and camping, and in horses and motorcycles. They like Utah very much, and find the people great to live by and to do business with. The all-ste- addition to their store was built by Bell Construction, a local firm, and has expanded their once rather small store to a modern facility. Their grand opening will be held from March 24 (today) to March 30, next Wednesday, and if you look on the back page of our paper, you will see that they offer many bargains in grocery and other items, and also will be giving away free samples, free balloons, and some grocery giveaways. It might pay to drop out to Lindon during this week and see what the new store looks like. Saturday, Sunday . . .

Gty Urges Gtizens Interested to 'Improve Property Those property owners desiring to have installed curb, gutter, sidewalk and asphalt or any one of these improvements are encouraged to contact the city recorder at the Pleasant Grove City Hall. The city council encourages installation of these im-provements and will establish a special improvement district for those areas where these improvements are desired. Through a special im-provement district, the work is contracted on a low bid basis to a contractor who in-stalls the street improvemen-ts. The cost of the construc-tion, plus engineering and in-terim financing expenses are assessed to the property owners on a front footage basis. The total cost can be paid in full after completion of the work or paid over a ten year period with interest ad-ded. There are many advantages to the property owner with the installation of the street improvements such as beauty, safety, ability to landscape, and ease of main-tenance. The city benefits from these improvements as it makes street maintenance much easier. All citizens wishing to know more about the creation of the special improvement districts are asked to contact Mark Johnson, city recorder, at the city hall.

Mr. Walker was project supervisor for canal construc-tion when the dam collapsed, and he was able to record the disaster with photographs taken at about 15 minute in-tervals from the time a small black hole "about as big around as a basket-ball- " ap-peared near the top of the white dam untill three hours later when it had been cut out downward as a narrow slit to cause the dam to collapse. This loosened a flood of water that for a short time was about equal to the flow of the great Mississippi River. Water has been seeping from the base of the dam for several days, before the first hole appeared at about 8:45 a.m. Mr. Walker's photographs show the efforts that were made to plug the hole by 'bull dozing" rock material into it. At about 10:00 A.M. warnings went out. Mrs. Walker also dramatically described her frantic actions in escaping the flood after her husband telephoned her a warning. Mr. Walker appeared as a witness with his pictures at hearings of the panel of engineering experts who in-vestigated the failure. They have since blamed the disaster on faulty design of the dam. Mr. Walker is the son of Jess and Elaine Walker of the Manila area. George Grass, president elect of the Kiwanis Club, conducted the meeting, Harold Jacklin led the singing and Robert Hicks led the pledge to the flag. The opening prayer was given by Merrill Warnick and Vern Little gave the benediction. Guests included Robert and Kayin Secretan who were introduced by Bill Told. i 4V ,'' " 1 ;H ""i f y ' i-- r t--r-v ; ; i L ; j..!- -J " ln ; HELPS LIBRARY Darylene Nickell, center, hands check to Drucilla Smith, librarian to help buy books.
