Semil If there is anything Bill Baker likes to talk about it is politics, but if there is anything he likes to talk about more than politics, it's the rustic stone fireplace he constructed in his new home on 16th South. Bill will even leave off talking talk-ing about his chances of becoming becom-ing the next U. S. Senator to describe how he collected rock for the fireplace throughout the state. He found a fancy conglomerate con-glomerate in Sanpete county, some green stone near Bryce canyon, a slab rock in Carbon county, and various attractive types in counties in between. Bill likes to explain how, after af-ter he. laid the stones in a pattern pat-tern in the fireplace, he cleaned them with muriatic acid and then applied two coats of varnish. varn-ish. The acid changed the colors of several of the rocks but enhanced en-hanced their beauty in most cases. It's an attractive fire place and one that we suspect might be duplicated in any other oth-er home if the builder had the patience- In any case, Bill will be glad to show it off to you.

With the beautiful mirrors from floor to ceiling and the elegant new chandeliers which give multiple reflections in the mirrors, one gets the impression im-pression that he is entering New York's Music Hall or a swank Park Avenue hotel. Other new additions are a luxuriant Wiltin carpet to replace the old rubber mats in the lobby,, and the garden gard-en of . tropical plants growing within a wall of multi-colored flag-stones. These added appointments contribute much to the cultural atmosphere that has always been disinctive of the Scera Treatre. The improvements are to celebrate cele-brate the 9th Anniversary of the completion of the theater next week. Sept. 4 to 9. Victor Anderson, Scera manager, man-ager, recalls that in addition to being one of the most beautiful theaters in America. Scera is engineered so as to be almost perfect, acoustically. Dr. Har vey Fletcher,- world renown physicist, engineered the acous tics. . Scera is indeed the show-place of Orem. All of us can well be proud of our community-owned theater.

South . county orchards ae expected to yield enough for the local market and in addition addit-ion will ship 15 to 22 cars. Good quality peaches are expected to be between -3 and 03.50. Several Sever-al Orem area orchards will yield peaches of exceptional quality. Mr. Ashton returned Wednesday Wednes-day from a trip to Palisades. Colo., peach center of that state-He state-He reports that the crop is good there and that the area will ship 1800 cars. Normal shipping is 2200.

DISGRACEFUL, By Neff Smart The creeping paralysis which is gripping Utah Lake and which may soon transform the west's largest fresh-water lake into a "Dead Sea," was observed at first hand on Saturday by 50 city and county officiels, newsmen and civic leaders of the county. Every community weu represented. The group observed the lake situation 'on a cruise sponsored by the ProvoChamber of Commerce, Com-merce, the county anii lake-pollution committe and the Provo Boat club. Before the cruise, a delicious meal was served by the Provo Chtniber. That was to Insure In-sure that the newsmen and other guests would take seriously their responsibility to observe and report, and to thus make the entire county aware of a disgraceful condition which exists in the center of the paradise we call Utah Vsily. Th meal was good and we intend not to disappoint those who invited us to join the party. After auch a lour it it not difficult to be earnest about the program for cleaning up the leJte. Utah county sewage, and principally sewage sew-age from Provo. Springville, Spanish Fork and the industrial plants at Ironlon.. have- ajready transformed the southwest quarter of Utah Lake into a stinking, unhospitable and dangerous body of weier; and if is obvious that the sewage is rapidly extending the polluted and dangerous area of the lake. That much we can, report first hand. Almost Al-most as soon as our party left the boal harbor we observed that the propellc-r began to churn up a "barnyard beige" sediment from the bottom of the lake. The sediment grew Increasingly EARLY PASSAGE OF 0REF.I HEALTH LAV SEEN The naming in Orem of a city health officer with police powers to back him up, became a certainty for the near f ut-ure ut-ure when the Orem city council and the city board of health met jointly on Monday to okeh a proposed health ordinance which provides for such an officer and statutes to give him power. a Both the. council and the health board gave tentative approval to the ordinance Monday and set nest Tesday as the day for final reading and vote. V The ordinance was prepared by City Attorney Hugh Vern Wentz and includes provisions for the keeping of birth and death records, inspection of eating places and grocery stores, inspection of city water, quarantine quaran-tine regulations and all health and sanitation problems wnich affect the city's population. Mayor J- W. Gillman wa3 named by the council as a mem ber of the board of health. The group also includes Ralph Pet ers, health officer; Henry Campbell, Camp-bell, board chairman, Mrs, Izola Lewis, Elwood Baxter. M r s. Glen Healy, Attorney Wentz and Mrs. Dorothy Broad-head. The city counsil, in further business Monday, ordered Rus sell Kitchen, operator of the new serve-yourself gas station at Sixth North and State, to move his pumps in order to comply with city ordinances which stipulate that they must be 20 feet from the street line. Mr. Kitchen had asked for permission per-mission to set his new puanps within six feet of the property line and proceeded to install them prior to a ruling by the couvicil or the city planning board. The city planning board recommended rec-ommended in a letter to the city cohncil Monday that no exceptions excep-tions to the city ordinance be made, and the conncil then drafted a letter to Mr. Kitchen asking him to proceed with the set-back of the pumps- They set Sipt. 15 as the deadline for their removal. Mayor Gillman reported that a survey by the state road commission com-mission engineer last Saturday removed any possibility of the improvement of West 8th South street this year. In response to letters by the city council asking that the 8th South street receive immediate attention, the state road commission commis-sion sent their engineer here in hopes that a start could be made on lining up sidewalks and water main lines and marking mark-ing yet-back lines. However, he declared after the inspection that the job could not be started this year. Eighth South street west of State has been called the most hazardous in Orem. The street carries heavy Geneva Steel plant traffic as well as heavy pedestrian traffic comprising students enroute to and from the Lincoln and Spencer .schools. The street is narrow and has no sidewalks. It is partcularly dangerous dan-gerous in slippery weather. Hike in Orem Building Seen During August New construction in Orem kept a steady pace during August Aug-ust with $89,150 in building permits issued, according to Ed Wickman, Orem building inspector. in-spector. This amount exceeds the total issued in August, 1949 which was $50,500. Bulk of the construction authorized was in the residential category with $77,950 in permits per-mits issued including the following: foll-owing: Don Gillman, 496 East 12 No., $3500; Don Edwards, 707 So. 550 East. $8500; Harold R.

Mr. Wickman reports that over 200 homes are under con Ftruction in Orem at the present time as compared with 162 homes which were constructed during the entire year of 1949. CRUISE SHOWS "beige" and increasingly oderiferous as we ap" prot .hed the channel five miles south of the i hiirbor. Within the channel and traveling northeasterly north-easterly toward the point where sewage outlets are situated, the waters of what was once "Muo Lake" and si waterfowl and wildlife paradist became very much, like an untreated cess-pool. It is difficult in polite English to describ: what one sees in that area of Utah Lake. O must resort to such euphemisms as: wildlife i sick and dying. (Blue Loon and other waterfowl tried vainly to take the air as we chugged past.) The entire area bubbles with decaying animal waste. The air is foul. Only few slug ' gish carp can survive the waters which once were the spawning areas for bass and other game fish. Oil and muck which lie on the surface of the water cling to the legs and wings of ducks and geese which alight in the sirea and gradually destroy them. A dry season combined with normal nor-mal winds might easily deliver death-dealing bacteria throughout the county. It's ai depressing experience, and one which makes one hope that the efforts of Bob Bullock and his committee for the clerning up of the lake will meet with favor by the entire citizenry of Utah county. Bullock's program will require money- It will require that every city in the county cooperate co-operate in building sewage disposal systems. Only then can Utah Lake return to take its role as the stfite's finest natural recreation area. . How long will it take? Bullock estimates that with reasonable support from the County Commission and from municipalities bordering the lake, 10 years might see all of us proud of Utah Lake aEin.
