The refurbishing of the park was culminated by a formal dedication as part of Mona's annual 24th of July celebration this past summer.

The promise of a tree wiener roast undoubtedly provided a strong motivation for the participating youth, but whatever the ause a keen sense of community spirit was exhibited. The Mona Park has received a lot of ittentiop and tender lovinj care this past year from the Mona Bicentennial Committee under the direction of Mrs. Wallace iGayei Kdy. Chairwoman. Approximately $3,000 worth of improvements have been made in the ionn ot plantings of new and shrubbery and new play equipment.

Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's government coalition of Sod? I Democrats and Liberals. Kohl arranged a meeting for late this afternoon with President Walter Scbcel, who under the constitution must ask either Kohl or Schmidt to form government before Dec. 15, when the outgoing parliament is dissolved.

Eidon Tanner, first counselor in the First Presidency, spoke of the church's growth and the success of area conferences. Tanner said the church has members in 75 countries and church organizations in 53. He said area conferences have been conducted in 28 countries, with a total attendance of nearly 200,000 from 34 countries.

He said the world is in dire moral straits, and "the main purpose of trM conferences, the main purpose of general conferences, the main purpose of this conference, is to sound the voice of warning.

Only residents of the district may vote in the special bond election. By MARILYN KEYTE If you asked the parents of our area who Ken Robison is, it's possible that not too many could come up with an answer. But if you asked the children well, that would be a different story from VineVard to Nephi they know him on sight. He's the Pied Piper of the bookmobile. Lcng before the appointed time of his arrival at his many rounds, you can see groups of people waiting, some old, some young, with books in hand.

The bookmobile Ken drives is tn one to be put into operation in the state of Utah. His area encompasses parts of Utah County end Juab County while vehicle number 19, driven by Ed Walker, stays exclusively in the Utah Courty area The combined circulator, of these two roving iibranes comprises one of the largest circulations in the state. Ken estimates that he travels 250 miles covering his route over a period two weeks. 1 The bookmobile carries over 5.000 titles with a variety that ranges from books listed on the current best seller list to the classics. It carries something for children, young adults and adults.

But perhaps its greatest contribution is its appeal to youth which causes them to return to reading after a surfeit of television. homo should have cylinder deadlocks" on all entry doors They should be' installed in front, back and side doors in addition to existing lock sets. Most' will have a key lock on the outside, a -bolt retracting thumb key on inside. Look for all steel and brass construe- tion, a travy duty five-eights inch' or' inch deadboll, an all bi ass cylinder- ring that will turn free at any attempt to remove with pipe wrench or any' other exterior tool, and solid brass pin tumbler cylinders and Don't buy any that don't have all these extra -features. If you can't install it yourself, you may need a locksmith to do it for you.

But. the cost of installation and deadlock could be the cheapest insurance you couid ever buy. On door.s with glass panels you should hdve' double cylinder deadlocks with a key that locks from either side so a burglar cu.inut cut the glass and reach in and' open the lock One-sided deadlocks are also available with no exterior entry possi-' ble and are ideal for use as supplemental lock whenever extra security is desired. Windows must also be securely latched. A slop lock is available which limits window openings to ventilation spaces too small to permit entry.

Sliding glass wi.idows and doors are an easy mark for burglars. A simple broomstic can be cut to fit and placed in the sliding jam to keep doors and windows safely closed hlI TuK'S NOTE: This is Hit fourth in a seiies of articles on burglary and its prewiilion. The series was written as a public service by Utah County Attorney Noall T. Wootton. This article advises the reader about improvements made in locks in the past live ears.

By NOALL WOOTTON Utah Umiity Attorney You can increase the safety of your home easily and relatively inexpensively. The many now. improved locks that are now available for your home can delay a prowler to the point that he will go elsewhere. Locks more than live years old are probably outmoded and should be replaced. With most lock sets, replacement is surprisingly easy Know Leek Set Security Features One of the most important features to look for in a lock set is a pin-tumoler mechanism, by far the safest type for keyed lock sets.

Ixick sets using solid brass pin tumbler construction allow tar more keying combinations, thus reducing the chance cf other keys operating your lock. Pin tumbler construction is also more precise than disc or wafer types. Lock sets with deadtatche provide inexpensive additional security. The deadlakh is a little piece of hard brass that rides on the face of the latch and prevents jimmying with a celluloid strip or plastic card. With most lock sets you can get a replacement deadlatch for as little as $1 per dor.

People find Ken most helpful with book selections. If you've chosen volume two of a trilogy, he kindly checks to see if you have already read volume one. If there is a book he doesn't cany, he'll try to bring it next time.

Failing that, a special order is put in requesting the book be mailed out from the Salt I-ake City library. Those who have made special requests have been gratified to have a personal card sent to them from the Salt I-ake libi arian stating whether or not the book was available. As a roving librarian, Ken probably has more assistant librarians than those of any stationary library. At each stop there are a half a dozen helpers crgcr to place the proper "tamp in the books and make out cards. Ken lets those of late elementary school age and teenagers take turns in assisting him.

Ken has been driving the bookmobile just short of two years and during that period he says there has been a very minimal amount of loss or damage to the books loaned. To those living in outlying areas it is truly satisfying to have a modern library at their fingertips on a biweekly basis. The growing list of patrons proves it Oct. 28 in Salt Ike City. The overnight trip to Elko, Nov, has been postHined until Nov 18 and ly.

"Conversely, it appears to us to be mosi advisable to first permit the electorate to make the unfettered decision if there is to be a fundamental change in the Utah County Government, and to do so cn the Nov 1976 ballot. Thereafter, we note that if passed, the plan would not take effect until July 1, 1977, which would leave ample time tor anyone having a serious objection to the plan or any of its provisions to resolve the same in court," the letter stated. In concluding, Mr. Dalebout observed that he understood several changes had been made in the plan, but observed that the plan is "otherwise the work product of the independent studv commission and not this office." HOMES Business deductions for vacation homes are denied if the owner uses the house for personal purposes for two weeks or 10 per cent of actual business use. Deductions hr a home or portion of a home used as an office are allowed cniy if the home is the principal place of business or is used a place for meeting patients or clients in the normal course of business.

The exemption for a spouse in addition to the regular exemption is increased to either $250,000 or one-half the gross estate. Property of the decedent is to be valued after Dec 31 1976, as the value immediately before death with certain adjustments. "Generation skipping" transfers are allowed for up to $250,000 for each child. Numerous other technical changes are made.
