Lehi deserves that same consideration. Such a m0i, would be in line with the apparent shift in Circle K's f once hard-cor- e policy on soft-cor- e pornography. " While the cosmetic changes have yet to be carried out, two north Utah County convenience stores are doing business under a new name - Circle K. But the new stores are following policies that raise some questions about business at the only existing Circle K in the county, located in Lehi. The new stores, one in American Fork and one in Pleasant Grove, were part of sale recently completed between Central Distributing Company, former owners of Mr. G's, and Circle K Corporation. For about two weeks, the two local Mr. G's have been doing business as Circle K, and the stores' logos and signs will be changed as time permits. But the new stores are apparently operating under a different policy than that reflected by the existing Lehi outlet -- - at least where the sale of adult magazines is concerned. Circle K is one of the few convenience chains in Utah that still sells the sex-orient- magazines, ever since Southland Corporation decided last year to drop "Penthouse" and other titles from the behind-the-count- er racks in its 7-- stores.

"There a quite a few of the employees who would quit if we sold those," the clerk said. "I wouldn't work here if we did." . The decision not to stock the magazines in the new stores sets the stage for Circle K management to now Continued from front page PL Grove City Council The bill was for $2,100. Adamson, Pleasant Grove representative to the Golf Course Committee, suggested that the clause in the new by-la-prohibiting fulltime city employees from serving on the committee be deleted when the council takes action on the subject. The committee wants to avoid any possibility of it being interpreted as any kind of criticism of Gary Lewis, who has been serving as chairman of the Golf Course Committee and also as the Lehi City Recorder. Mayor Holdaway told Adamson that the council had agreed earlier in the meeting to send a letter to the committee and Lewis which offers such assurance. The mayor said he preferred to talk to the other mayors before the council took action on the clause in question. Mayor Holdaway advised the council that a Memorandum of Understanding had been drawn wherein the Bank of American Fork desired to sell the Manila Meadows subdivision to Walton Farmer. Since this subdivision had been approved by the county prior to its annexation, the buyer was seeking assurance that more restrictive Pleasant Grove City Requirements will not be assessed against the properties. They were particularly concerned about city requirements for sidewalks. Streets and curbs are already installed. The council approved the Memorandum and declared that the new developers would only be required to meet the county stan-dards. It was pointed out that the term of Ray Pollman on the Planning Commission expires on Jan. 15. A request was made for his reap-pointment to a four-yea-r term. The council approved this action. I already knew they didn't do dishes p.g. blah MARCELLA ) WALKER One of my favorite Christmas presents was a gift from the girls. It is a wall hanging that has a darling picture of them on it and it says, "We love you . . . But, we don't do dishes". They didn't need to tell me, I already knew. Neither do they do their laundry, their bathrooms, their bedrooms, their picking up, their other chores, nor their walking anywhere. They do do their nails, their hair, their talking on the phone, their homework (which is pretty neat), their partying, their dancing, their movies, their ballgames, their makeup, their eating, their riding in cars, their watching Of TV and their watching of videos. Nonetheless, I have hung this colorful wall hanging in the kitchen where we can all see it a lot. Like I say, it is really a very nice picture of the girls and the idea brings lots of conversation to the kitchen. Our kitchen is like a family room, everyone congregates there. The kids friends come and they sit around the table and chat for hours The married family members come and everyone is always hungry so we sit around the table and snack. Neighbors come in while we are having dinner and they sit down at the table and visit while we finish eating. Actually, the kitchen is the only place in the house where one can usually find a place to sit. I really shouldn't say that because Anyway, there is a lot of trattic in the kitchen and the wall hanging about the girl's "we don't do dishes" attracts a lot of attention. To tell the truth, it is getting harder and harder to get the dishes done at our house. It used to be that I did the cooking, someone cleared out the dishwasher and set the table, someone cleared the table and filled the dishwasher and someone did the garbage and vacuuming of the kitchen. No more. We are losing the hired help. One has gone off to college. She is not here to do her chore, even though one child at home thinks we should save up the work for her to do when she comes home, which is only a couple of times a quarter. We don't have enough dishes nor enough cabinet space to wait for her to come home. Another, who was away from home on a mission, has decided that there is no time in his schedule for chores. He would rather die than do a kitchen chore. How better to pay for ones board and room than by doing an occasional chore, I ask you? That leaves only one of the hired help. She can't be asked to do all of it. She will do one of the chores. She rarely complains about that. Guess who does the rest? Now you know why it is getting harder and harder to get the dishes done at our house. 1 uacu lu veil in y lllOLfier would grow up and marry who owned a paper plate facto" that I did not have to do dishes' is how much I enjoyed it as act Actually, doing dishes isn't bad.

W; win, do you think? j the living room often has a place for people to sit but no one goes in that room. It is a passing-throug- h room to get to the kitchen. The home teachers and visiting teachers are the only ones who ever use the living room. The family room, we really do have one, has the couches and chairs covered with books, papers, clothing from those who have arrived home from school or work and just dropped everything where they were standing. There is no safe place to sit. Sometimes there is no place to sit in the kitchen, either. There are often sweaters, sweatshirts, or the like that can't go in the dryer that end up smoothed over the seats of the kitchen chairs to dry.

Apparently, kids are born without temperature sensors in their skin. You wouldn't believe the number of times I have intercepted small bodies that were on their way out-side because they failed to pass inspection! One child was wearing a tank top and bermuda shorts in spite of that fact that there was a wind chill factor of twenty-fiv- e below. The daughter who insisted on wearing her sun suit outside to build a snowman is the same child that attempted to wear three dance leotards, two pairs of tights and her red, white and blue moon boots to the Fourth of July parade. Another child cried for half an hour after I confiscated her swim many Cream of Wheat com-mercials, but there is something about being a mom that makes me want to bundle up my offspring before they set foot out the door. My mother always used to say, "Come back in this house and put on a sweater or you'll catch your death of cold." That was in June. Once the snow started to fly, she'd drag all the winter clothes out of storage and each morning I went through the ritual of putting on the long tights, gloves, scarf, hat, coat, mittens and rubber boots with zippers. I hated rubber boots with zippers. I used to pray every night that the zippers in my boots would rust out so I wouldn't have to wear them anymore. I tried hiding them under my bed, floating them down a ditch and tossing one up on the roof of the barn. And I had the darnedest luck, because Mom could always find them. I thought my prayers had been answered the day I couldn't get them zipped up at school. I tugged and pulled, but those zippers wouldn't budge an inch. I supposed that my boots had trudged through too many puddles, snow banks and mud pies. I returned home with my boots in hand and a smile on my face. Mom simply took a bar of soap and ran it along the teeth of the zippers several times and they worked as good as new. I was sick. Now, not only did I get to wear tights, gloves, scarf, hat, coat, mittens and boots, but I got to pack a bar of soap in my pocket to school. The phenomenon of children resisting the way their mothers dress them has existed for generations. My mother recently confided to me that as a little girl, she gathered up all her winter underwear and poked them under the foundation of her house with a long stick. That way, grandma couldn't make her wear them again the next year. (Centuries from now, it is going to make one interesting archaeological find!) For a long time, I carried on the tradition of wrapping children in several layers of clothing. One day, before my oldest child left for kin-dergarten, I tried talking him into wearing an extra pair of socks before putting on his snow boots. He fiercely resisted and finally won out. (I did manage to coax him into wearing a ski mask to the bus stop. ) Upon his return home he was crying, complaining that there was no feeling in his toes. I knew it I thought. I should never have let him OUt the door withnnt an r 1 socks on his feet. The poor kit were probably frozen! As I unfastened his boots, Irf remember the first aid tra had learned for frostbite removal of his boots, sh socks, I discovered that m were his toes numb, they : light blue.
