We'd like to be writing a headline something like this: "Orem To Field Town Team in Central Cen-tral Utah Baseball League," but we have to sit by and see the Pleasant Grove paper write it. In a reorganization of the league a few weeks ago Pleasant Grove obtained entry and will play regular games during the sunnier months with Lehi, American Fork, Provo and Ileber. We wish Orem had embarked upon a project which would provide inter-city competition in baseball this year. Certainly there is no scarcity of athletes, certainly, a place could be made available either Timpanogos Bowl, the city park or Lincoln high ; and certainly enough paying patrons would support the team to insure suits, transportation costs and other expenses. Mainly, however, the team would give to, Orem additional addit-ional unity. Another thing for the entire city to work for and to be proud of. ..' l : A i j ! . : .'. ' , - 4 -V.

We doubt if the case is overstated. , Ten years from now a divided, stunned and defeated U. S. may be trying to adjust itself to a Communist-ruled world. Ten years from now a weary, mangled and victorious U. S. may be trying to salvage what it can from the radioactive wreckage of the world. Ten years from now a busy, peaceful U.S. may be helping; to push forward the frontiers of freedom everywhere in the world. The problem for Americans is how to make the second alternative more likely than the first and the third more likely than the second. Almost Al-most certainly, in those ten years, some Americans Ameri-cans will die fighting perhaps a few score, possibly millions. Almost certainly, billions of dollars will be poured out. There will be no safe course only choices between dangerous courses. That is tlje shape of the next ten years a shape which every decent man wishes were different. It will not be changed by wishing. FINISH t Promising to be exciting and spectacular, the first Giant Slalom ski race irom off the top of Rustler Mountain at Utah's Romantic Alta will be run April 10. The course is tricky and requires about 40 seconds to negotiate. Strictly invitational, the country's top skiers will compete for the "Rustler Cup." The event will be highlighted by the presence of a woman skier a famous radio program's "Queen For A Day" to be chosen in Hollywood April 8 and flown to Utah on April 9 where as special guest of the Alta Lodge and Mayor George Watson, she will reign as queen during the race. She will be met upon her arrival in Utah by representatives represent-atives of the State Department of Publicity, who promoted her visit to the Beehive state in cooperation with Hollywood's "Queen For A Day" producer, J. C. Morgan, and Master of Ceremonies, JackJSailey. . Will Orem Get U.N.G. Unit? A plan to recruit and train 1000 new national guardsmen was announced Saturday by Brig. Gen. J. Wallace West, adjutant ad-jutant general. His announcement announce-ment followed a conference of guard commanders at which the European situation was discussed. discuss-ed. "There is no need for thinking think-ing war is inevitable," Gen. West said, "and there's no point to hysteria. v but the best hope for the United States is calmly to build up many trained civil ian-military units. There now are 35 units of the national guard in Utah with a total strength of 1350. The state is authorized 50 ground and 4 air units, with a total authoriz ed strength of 1604. Gen. West has urged unit commanders to exert effort to recruit units to authorized inter mediary strengths "so we can maneuver at Camp W. G.

I've been flirting with St. Peter, and durn near made it. He's a tough guy, let me tell you. Take my word for it. I thought I was a pretty good egg until he closed the gate on me, and that's an eperience too few people have. Sometimes l am still wishing I didn't have that : -.

The committee announced that in the near future a public meeting meet-ing vill be held at which all the citizens of Lindon will be invited invit-ed to participate. Plans are being be-ing formed by the committee to friends and family fought for my worthless life doctors, nurses. (Gpd bless them) .they are as near to angels as can be. No, all of the angels are not in heaven that's on my honor. I have come out of that experience with a new set of values. My friends and family are more dear than I dreamed they could be.! Faith, that winged glory that is everyone's heritage, that healer of body and soul, you can't have enough of it in everyday life or in crises. I who have been like the One Horse Shay, (re member that poem' when I was Mrs. Cunningham's student?) I went to pieces like that Shay all to pieces. I was a mess; the nurses and doctors were kind enough to admit it, and I was too sick and tired to travel the long road back to health. But St. Peter closed the gate, gently the girl in the next room went through, and ran to meet her lover, a soldier. There were people I knew there, waiting. But the gate closed; the mn I took to be St. Peter did not seem to see me, the distance dimmed, and I was back in my bed. I opened my eyes. Standing over me were two nurses; one had a stethoscope trying to tmd a heart .beat, the other held h hypodermic hy-podermic filled with a fluid. "If that's adrenlin, I wont take it; I'm steeped in adrenlin," I said. "Well, you were gone, they said, it s wnat we use to start up i.ie heart again." "I know," I re- the town.

The nurses.looked more frightened fright-ened than before. They did not speak, "Well, did she pass away a little while back?" I begged. "No," said the one with (the stethoscope, "we moved her into a private room and she is resting now." I lay awake long after, iuy mind was clear. I'd have to get better. St. Peter wouldn't have me, but I was too sick and tired. And again, perhaps it was delerium for I had seen little birds hopping on my ice pitcher at times; but there was one way to be sure tomorrow, I would find out. I'd bribe the aids, or use psychology on them and find out if the pretty gal was in a private room. I did just that, and she had passed away about 2 o'clock in the night. Now I don't know what is real and what was delerium. That was in the L.D.S. hospital in February. I am some better and can have company for 10 'minutes the very nearest and dearest one person a day. This world looks good; my renters" just asked me if I'd like to climb to the 'Y' with them this Easter morning. You durn tootin' I would if I could.
