DUP Bake Sale, Open House Today One of the oldest traditional ac-tivities of Strawberry Days is the open house at the DUP Museum. Many of the folks who come to Pleasant Grove's annual celebration consider it a homecoming. As such, they are anxious to see,, and. have, their families see, the relics of the museum and pictures of their an- - clock to 4 o'clock. In connection with the open house the DUP camps will have a sale of baked goods and sewed items. There will be a lovely quilt for sale to some early comer. The camps are still - - struggling to gather funds to further removate and restore the building. $13,000.00 has been spent in making the most needed repairs and finishing off the back rooms. The city made a substantial contribution to get this urgent work done, and the DUP camps are still asking for and receiving voluntary contributions. This building proudly represents Pleasant Grove's past, and to have it properly and completely repaired and restored will be a source of satisfaction to all residents. cestors who were early settlers here. The Museum has been cleaned and prepared for the open house by the Battle Creek Camp. A scout troop from the 10th Ward under the leadership of Dale Neves washed the windows. City workers have cleaned and trimmed the lovely grounds and everything is ready for visitors. Hostesses will be on hand to conduct tours or to answer questions from 9 0 Cable Television Company i Addresses PG City Council The regional manager of Acton Cable Television Co. told the Pleasant Grove City Council . Tuesday night that his company has 13 not and will not show an d movie, Doug Johnson also stressed that ne and his company are not pomographers. His statements were in rebuttal to 'Presentation made to the Pleasant lrove City Council two weeks ago by a group of citizens protesting obscenity on cable television. Johnson said that his company ' obeys all state and federal laws. He s'ated a individual's freedom of choice would be limited with the Proposed ordinance as submitted by ij 'he group at the last meeting. He Med that the council needs to be abUt legislatinS people's rreedo He listed seven protections the able user has: 1. no one has to buy Zr 106 'm the first Place and HB0 Unemax are an additional "ce to the regular cable channels m are all declared to be family aiTai?ment channels; 2. If a J buys it they don't have to ') as ProP-a- guides are Jwfcd which tell what kind of 'is coming on; 3. R rated shows shown only after 9 p.m.; 4. A rout box is available; 5. HTN I r" famUy oriented moves, grated; 6. On shows with nudity violence a disclaimer comes on fre the movie. Johnson said it was technicolo-- i j ""Possible to cut out any R stow for the Pleasant Grove area without cutting out for several other cities as well. One citizen said that most cable television shows are good, even HBO is good a lot of the time, but the small percentage of bad should be eliminated and all would be well. A cable television user said that the LDS Church is against shopping on Sunday and he sees no one down picketing the 1 Store. He added that the church is against alcohol and tobacco and no one protests an selling it in his store. One suggestion was made that the matter be put on the ballot so that the feelings of the entire community might be discovered rather than just a few. A comment was made about the city not having the right to infringe on the rights of individuals, and one citizen noted that the whole law system is to infringe on somebody's rights, it being illegal to shoot a gun in the city limits, for instance. Mayor David Holdaway told those present that many people do not know the limitations the council has in making laws. All laws passed must be enforceable and in keeping with the constitution of the United States, he pointed out. John Backlund, the city attorney, said he felt a healthy forum where citizens and businessmen could meet together and discuss their concerns was very good. He stated that the proposed ordinance as submitted by the concerned citizens at the last council meeting was fairly vague. He said that there were not enough specific standards in it. The attorney added that they are dealing with what a person can do in the sanctity of his own home, not in public, but at home. He suggested the council proceed carefully noting the problem Provo had trying to remove the movie " Porky 's" which resulted in three times as many people going to see it. One citizen said that indecent movies lower the moral standards of the community event for those who do not have cable television because people and especially young people who have it discuss it with those who do not. Another man added that the government legislates alcohol and drugs because they are harmful and so they should do something about obscenity for the same reason. The suggestion was made that the concerned citizens work with the men from the Cable TV company rather than against them. A citizen said that the city must do the best it can in the circumstances. He added that Supreme Court Standards are not Pleasant Grove standards. The law is subject to change, a citizen said. He told the council they should make an ordinance and let the chips fall where they may and this then would have an effect upon the law. Ralph Kmetzsch, manager of the local cable tv company, noted "We are saying here that we cannot teach our own children. God gave us a brain and expected us to use it. Let's go home and teach our children." In conclusion the mayor said they will try to find a way to study the situation, work with all the citizens and legal counsel and make the right decision for the community.
