They in- cluded business retention and ex-pansion, business creation and expansion and business recruitment His concluding statement said, "We have looked at those compo nents of Pleasant Grove's economic toundation necessary for us to be competitive. We have also reviewed the strategies we will use to create new jobs and generate wealth in our community. We believe that without good strategies our eco-nomic foundations will be mean-ingless and without a quality foun-dation on which to build our strate-gies will not work." The economic development commission will include a member of the city council, a representative from the Chamber of Commerce, the UVEDA representative, a member of the Planning Commis-sion and others. Mayor Holdaway signed a proc- lamation designating the week of Oct. 29 through Nov. 5 as Awareness Week. Budget Director K. A. Driggs told the council that the city was being required to pay an additional fee for an audit of the B and C road funds. He said that the state was being extra careful as a result of the Timpanogos Mental Health Center problems and any state funds over $25,000 which the city receives must have a special audit. The B and C road funds are the only state funds the city has at the present time that fall into this category, he said. The council said that they felt that rather than eive the auditors a would donate at least $100 toward the trailer fund. Councilwoman Mary West noted that the Straw-berry Days Committee would also want to contribute since the band represents the city so well. Mayor Holdaway stated that due to the vandalism and theft oflights on trees at the city entrances dur-ing last year's Christmas holiday season, the city has decided to do something different this year. Tentative plans are to put lights around the library and city hall-publi- c safety building. They would also like to purchase some holiday banners to place on the poles down-town. Councilman Ash reported that the city is going to install some new street lights which only costhalf as much as usual. He said the lights would be placed in the Wade Springs area which is badly in need of street lights. He added that these lights are also available to the public for use as yard lights. A brief discussion about the councilmember's feelings regard-ing the Utah bid for the winter Olympics was held. Mayor Holdaway indicated that he was 100 per cent behind the bid, whether or not Pleasant Grove or Utah County will benefit from it directly, because he feels that it will help the state as a whole. Councilman West said that he felt it was good for the state pride and the exposure would be helpful. Councilman Dale Warburton asked why there had not been more private donations towards the cost of the Olympics from those groups who would most benefit from it. He added that he was behind it but he felt that more private com-panies should be involved in the donatinc. flat fee that they should give the city an accounting of the expenses for the audit. The city called for bids to make repairs at the city swimming pool. It was reported that some of the return lines are leaking and must be and that the pool needs to be replastered. The pool has not been replas-tered or lined for 20 years, the council was told. The city would like to get the drain line repaired this fall and the plastering could be done next spring. ' There is not enough money in '. the pool repair budget for this year to do all the work so some of the expenses will have to be paid through the capital improvement fund. The council approve the appro-priation of $300 to the Pleasant Grove High School Marching Band towards purchase of a trailer in which they can carry their instru-ments and equipment. The cost of the trailer has been set at $5,200 and the band has asked the community to donate toward the purchase of this needed vehicle. The Pleasant Grove Senior Citizens also indicated that they don for a parks department shop. Earlierthecouncilmembershad rationed having a shop right in a middle of downtown, but they we assured that all vehicles will kept indoors so that the area ::i not become unsightly. Vehicles which cannot be placed riide the building will be left at a city shops on 200 South. The city has been paying rent sk month for the metal building a parks department has been ilig. By placing the department :the old fire station it will save scity the cost offenting. Utili-- , afdr the fire station building are ceded to be about $200 per month the winter. The parks department would like iremove all their equipment which j'sept on the north side of the Old 'I School as soon as possible.

In older men and women this usually occurs as a result of a decline in the production of the sex hormones. In women the loss of natural estrogen can be significant. According to Dr. David Rudy, writing in a recent issue of Postgraduate Medicine, women typically lose two to three percent of their total bone mass each year after menopause for about eight to ten years. Estrogen replacement therapy, if started within the first few years of menopause, has been shown to slow the process of bone loss in women. Typically for three weeks estrogen is taken of each month. A progesterone for 10 to hormone is prescribed 14 days for many women. Doses of estrogen and progesterone resemble the natural overlap to release of these hormones.
