The wettest areas in the "state during October, were in the northern mountains and along the Wasatch Front, with more than three inches of precipitation recorded at at least four stations." Alta led the way with 8.15 inches of precipitation, mostly in the form of 70 inches of snow. Brighton had 4.8 inches of precipitation, Orem 3.08 inches, Ogden 2.99, Brigham City 2.91, Provo 2.82, Logan 2.46, Tooele 2.45 and Fillmore 2.4, with lesser amounts statewide. "Heavy rains fell all along the Wasatch Front on Oct.

26, as the remnants of dying Hurricane Sergio pushed inland," the service said. "This caused considerable urban flooding and a mudslide closed Big Cottonwood Canyon briefly." "The first significant snow fell in many valley locatios on Oct. 27, with 16 inches of snow at Alta Ski Resort, six inches in the Strawberry area, and four inches at Kearns." And the service said, "A spooky storm hit northern Utah last Saturday-Sunday, with more than an inch of rainfall in many locatios in southern Salt Lake Valley and in northern Utah SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) October of 1982 was on the cold side in Utah. And, thanks to the final five days of the month, it was generally wetter than normal, according to the National Weather Service. The service said the average monthly temperature at its state headquarters, at the Salt Lake International Airport, was 48.8 degrees 3.6 degress below normal.

And, during October the forecasters measured 1.87 inches of precipitation at the airport, .73 of an inch above normal. Almost half of that precipitation fell on Oct. 26 when the service measured a record .90 of an inch for the date. The old record for an Oct. 26 had been .76 of an inch set back in 1940.

"But, the eastern portion of the Salt Lake Valley was wetter than the airport, with 3.24 inches of precipitation measured in the Holladay area," the service said. And the two-tenths of an inch of snow measured at the airport on Oct. 27 "was 13 days earlier than the average first day of snowfall," the forecasters said. Statewide, the service said, "The month was a wet one. The only exceptions were in the Dixie area and in southeastern Utah where precipitation was below normal." "This follows on the heels of Septem By PETER GILLINS SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The 1982 election campaign wrapped up today with Utah Democrats mounting one of their largest "get out the vote" efforts in history, hoping to unseat Republican Sen.

Orrin Hatch and break the GOP grip on the state's congressional delegation. But Republicans weren't sitting idly by. They had their own army of 11,000 "block captains" working to get people likely to vote GOP to the polls. Voting places opened across the state at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 8 p.m.

Republicans were also campaigning hard on the popularity of President Reagan who flew to the state last Friday for a massive GOP rally and taped a of radio and television ads endorsing the GOP ticket. In the past four days, Reagan has become the most visible and most quoted Republican in Utah. During a weekend movie on one Salt Lake television station, viewers were treated to six speeches by the president, all stressing the need to elect Hatch and the other Republicans to help him "stay the course." Pre-election polls showed Republicans leading every major race in the state, including the hard-fought battle between conservative Hatch and Democratic Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson. But Mike Graham, Wilson's campaign manager, insisted the mayor had a chance of overtaking Hatch if the Democrats can successfully getting their supporters to the polls. "You are about to see a Democratic freight train," said Graham: "We've put together the biggest 'get-out-the-vote' effort in history." The Democrats had lined up 8,000 volunteers to call Wilson supporters at least once, and maybe twice, before the polls close.

Those volunteers were assisted by phone banks operated by the political arms of the Utah Education Association and the Utah State AFL-CIO, who have both backed Wilson. The GOP was relying on its own phone banks with 1,000 callers, including Hatch who was making personal calls to undecided voters. "I slept well last night," said Mike Leavitt, Hatch's campaign manager. "We are in good shape, and if we can turn out the vote we'll win." A poll conducted for the Salt Lake Tribune late last week showed Hatch with a 52-42 lead over Wilson with 5 percent undecided and one percent voting for American and Libertarian party candidates. But another poll conducted during the same period by KSL Television put the margin at 48.2 for Hatch to 45 for Wilson.

Voters may have been surprised to find the names of two other U.S. Senate candidates on the ballot. They are Libertarian George Mercier and American Party hopeful Lawrence Kauffman. Neither candidate ran any type of visible campaign, and Kauffman was disavowed by his party which unsuccessfully filed suit to block his name from being listed under the American Party symbel. First District voters were to chose between first term GOP Rep.

James Hansen and Stephen Dirks, the five-term Democratic mayor of Ogden. In the Second District, Republican Rep. Dan Marriott was seeking a fourth term against Democratic State Sen. Frances Farley of Salt Lake. In the state's new Third District, pre-election polls showed Republican Nielson, the former speaker of the Utah with a two-to-one lead over Democrat Henry i4uish.

Huish was forced to run as an independent after he missed a filing deadline for party candidates. Farley had the best chance among the Democratic congressional hopefuls. The trimmed-down Second District lies entirely within Salt Lake County where Wilson is running a few points ahead of Hatch. Conceivably a strong turn-out of straight-ticket Democratic voters could benefit Farley. Utah voters will also decide the fate of four constitutional amendments, including a hotly contested proposition that would permit the Legislature to exempt up to 45 percent of the value of homes from local property taxes, up from the current maximum exemption of $2,000.

If approved, Proposition One could also increase state funding for public schools and exempt livestock from property taxes. UtahBriqfs Small pins found in candy WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (UPI) At least three Salt Lake County persons found small pins hidden in Halloween candy, according to the County Sheriff's office Monday. A 9-year-old boy biting into a piece of Halloween candy had a pin stuck in the roof of his mouth, deputies said. But the youth was not seriously injured. The boy was eating a piece of "Tany Taffy Twists" Sunday morning when the pin stuck into the roof of his mouth, the deputies said.

The other two pins were both found in candy bars. In those additional cases in West Valley City and the Cottonwood areas the persons were not injured and the small pins were discovered before they were swallowed. Scheme uses Benson SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) FBI agents have arrested a Salt Lake City man indicted for allegedly using a tape recorded endorsement by Mormon Apostle Ezra Taft Benson to persuade people to join a phony investment program. A. Grover Gifford, 54, was arrested Monday by the FBI on a 10-count federal grand jury indictment charging him with wire fraud and mail fraud.

He allegedly defrauded a number of people through a scheme in which he sold "Mastercheques" supposedly backed by gold and silver. Benson, president of the Mormon Council of 12 Apostles, was out of town Monday and not available for comment. But church spokesman Don Le-Fevre quoted Benson's aides as saying they never heard of Gifford or his business. They said Benson would never become involved in that type of scheme. Last-minute charges SALT LAKE CITY (UPI There were some last-minute charges Monday in the race between Republican Sen.

Orrin Hatch and Democratic challenger Ted Wilson. Hatch accused Wilson of lying when the Democrat said in a campaign mailer that Hatch voted to cut Social Security by $40 billion. But Wilson stood by the accusation, saying Hatch's votes in favor of resolutions calling for Social Security cuts totaling $40 billion are on the record. The Postal Workers Union, an affiliate of the AFL-CIO, accused Hatch of using in a campaign flyer a photo of the senator with postal workers without getting their permission. The Hatch campaign responded by saying the last-minute accusation amounted to unfair campaign tactics by the union, threatened to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.

500,000 voters expected SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) The state's top election official predicted a turnout at Utah's polls this election day of about 500,000 voters. Lt. Gov. David Monson, who runs the state election office, said about 65 percent of Utah's registered voters normally turn out for a midterm election. He sais 65 percent would translate to about 500,000 ballots cast while Utah's polls were open today, between 7 a.m.

and 8 p.m. If Monson's prediction, if accurate, would mean a continuation of Utah's distinction of being the state with the highest voter turnout in the nation. Both the Democrats and Republicans are doing their best to make sure the turnout is high today in Utah. Businessman arrested second time at church Mediators to settle trouble SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) Provo businessman Donald A. Rowberry asked a federal magistrate Monday to grant him bail on fraud charges that resulted in his arrest by FBI agents outside a Mormon church meeting House Sunday.

It was the second time Rowberry was arrested as he left church in Provo. A Provo constable arrested him last May following a choir practice on a warrant issued by Florida authorities charging him with fraud. The latest arrest stemmed from an indictment issued by a federal grand jury in Denver charging Roberry, 66, with several counts of mail fraud, wire fraud and inducing someone to cross state lines to commit fraud. The scheme allegedly involved the sales of shares in gold mining property. U.S.

Attorney Stewart Walsh said about 500 investors lost $7 million in the plan. The grand jury indicted Rowberry and Arvey D. Drown of Berthoud, Colo, who were both arrested over the weekend. Drown was held in Colorado in lieu of $100,000 cash bail. Rowberry told U.S.

Magistrate Daniel Alsup he owned no property and his only income was $320 per month in social security. He appeared in court wearing a jail t-shirt and pants. Stephen Madsen, an attorney representing Rowberry, asked that his client be released on his own recognizance. He said Rowberry's family lived in Provo and he had life-long ties with the community. He said the defendant did not present an escape risk.

Alsup said he could not grant that request in light of the $100,000 bond set for Drown. But he said he could accept another proposal for a $50,000 property bond. Madsen said a Provo widow had offered to put up a piece of property to free Rowberry. Alsup said he would rule on the matter after he received copies of the indictment from Denver and proof that property qualified for use as a bond. The magistrate also scheduled another hearing Friday on whether Rowberry should be taken to Colorado to face the charges.

Last May, Rowberry was arrested by a constable on a Florida warrant charging him with Fraud in connection with a rex rabbit breeding scheme. The Provo man is fighting those charges. MIRACLE VALLEY, Ariz. (UPI) Federal mediators may try to settle differences between a church group and other area residents in the wake of the fatal shooting of two church members. Jim Melton, head of "Citizens for Equal Justice," said Monday he was called by Ed Howden, a federal mediator with the Department of Justice in San Francisco.

Howden contacted Melton in response t6 the Oct. 23 shooting of two church members by Cochise County Sheriff's deputies. The mediator offered to talk to residents and members of Christ Miracle Healing Center and Church, "and see if there's any possibility of us getting together as we had in the past," Melton said. Federal mediators visited the area in July and September of 1981, when two "memos of understanding" were agreed on by the groups. Melton said the agreement was broken shortly afterward.

He added he was unsure the groups would agree to meet with the mediator. "I don't know if there's any chance of that at this moment, but we're always willing to give it a try in the hope that something will be done," Melton said. "They did a fantastic job when they were here with two memos of undestanding. It's just that the two memos of understanding weren't adhered to. -There's hope that if they come back, possibly we can get together." Melton said no date will be set for meeting with mediators until the church's leader, Rev.

Frances Thomas, and church members return from Chicago. The group traveled east to bury Rev. Thomas' son, William Thomas, 33, and Thomas' father-in-law, Agusta Tate. The men were shot to death Oct. 23 when violence broke out as Cochise County Sheriff's deputies tried to serve traffic warrants on three church members.

The incident occurred after months of tension between the all-black church members and area residents of mixed nationalities. The group moved to Miracle Valley in southern Arizona in 1979 from Chicago. Church members believe in faith healing. MOW UUUC7 UU Pilots'widows to use report 3- LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) The widows of three Air stunt pilots will not be permitted to use a 700-page military accident report as evidence in their multimilliqn dollar suit against the plane manufacturer.

U.S. Magistrate Philip Pro Monday denied use of the Air Force accident report prepared by Col. Henry D. Canterbury. The report blamed the "fol-low-the-leader" crash of the Air Force Thunderbirds on a jammed tail stabilizer.

"Plaintiff's motion for early determination of ad- missability of the aircraft accident investigation report is denied without prejudice to renew the same, following completion of adequate discovery to enable the court to determine as to the trustworthiness of the Canterbury Report," Pro said in a seven-page ruling. Attorney Gary Logan, representing three of the four widows of the pilots killed during a practice exercise at Indian Springs, this year asked Pro to admit the 700-page accident into evidence "in its jJ mJ tturd WiJ LJj -J weather BODULl nrw ji it, Ju Ul SEATTLE I 4 AIR I I I I -----ii ii i so BOSTON 30.00 NEW YORK i i i i v. yi i x-T5t i j.
