NEFF SMART, Editor and Publisher Entered as second class matter November 19. 1937 at the postoffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 8, 1879. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly hf advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 BE ALIVE ON THE FIFTH , . . Orem residents, perhaps better than most others, know the hazards of speeding traffic. We're trying to establish our city on a virtual speedway, and whether we acknowledge it or not, traffic is our number one problem. Ten days ago an epidemic of traffic accidents on Orem's Main street injured seven persons, and any one of the accidents acci-dents might easily have been fatal. Sponsors of the Centennial Cen-tennial Festival which closes today are hoping fervently that the crowds which .will participate in the parades and the activities will be spared from the ever-present traffic hazard. Tho National Safety Council tells us that 8,000 or more I Americans who are alive today will be killed by accidents during July. It is possible that one or even several among the number may be Orem residents. We can't warn them none among the 8,000 can be warned personally, because until August' 1 their names won't be compiled in the statistics statist-ics lists. But we can warn you, and ask you to be careful while on the highways during the coming dangerous months. Elsewhere Else-where in today's paper is a plea by the Geneva Transportation Transporta-tion Company, which makes safety a part of its business. Their message on safety is appropriate and we trust will be heeded. Mcst accidents are preventable. By beinfe1 careful, by taking it easy during the next several weeks you may save a life perhaps your own. Not a single death or injury, among the 42,000 "Crossroads" personnel, resulted from the U. S. Navy's two atomic bomb tests. The U. S. Naval Academy requires re-quires tho enrollment of 52 per cent of its Midshipmen in Spanish Span-ish classes. 23 per cent in French 10 percent in Portugese, 11 per cent in German and four percent per-cent in Russian . ll ft That ii i XM'-' T UT 1 ' . wIlT BUY FR0M Y0UR ElECTR,c EQUIPMENT DEAlER g f"y A UTAH FOW I USHT CO.

Laka Trlhun) Stale Is Free 1 Of Polio But Caution is Urged Local health officers and physicians phy-sicians reported a total of 323 resident cases of communicable diseases to the State Department of Health for the week ending June 6. Last week there were 152 cases reported and 415 for the same period last year. Utah county reported four cases of measles, two cases of mumps and one eash of pneumonia, pneu-monia, scarlet fever, syphilis and whooping cough. There have been only four cases of poliomyelitis reported so far this year and all of those occurred during the first few months of the year. No new cas es have been reported since March 7, 1947- During the last several epidemics in Utah, the greatest number of cases of poliomyelitis poli-omyelitis have occurred during the months of July, August and September. For the United States as a whole, there have been 627 cas es of poliomyelitis reported up to the week ending May 24, 1947 as compared with 467 cases for the same period of time in 1946. That probably represents what might be called a pre-epidemic outbreak of poliomyelitis for the entire country. , Certain precautions should be observed which might help In controlling the number of cases of poliomyelitis and are listed as follows: Call a physician early, just as soon as poliomyelitis is suspected; avoid contacts as far as possible, particularly for chil dren, by staying away from crowded places; avoid extreme fatigue and chilling; don't swim in polluted waters; observe careful care-ful personal hygiene, sulh as washing of hands before eating; fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed before eat ing. (This is a protective measure meas-ure against any type of filth-borne filth-borne infection that might result re-sult from eating contaminated fruits and vegetables) Lose Vitamin C Foods rich in vitamin C should not be cooked too long. Neither should toods that are rich in vitamin C b allowed to stand too long before serving. If they ar allowed to stand for very long, they will lose their vitamin C content. Orange Jules, cut tomatoes, or a dish of cauliflower cauliflow-er will lose all vitamin C whil (tending. They should be prepared hut before serving. ALTERATIONS!

Hair Our Changing World As one views life today, it is appaling to note the changes we have made. Sometimes it's for the good of mankind, but most often it is a wrong way a way that warps the mind and soul. It would be wonderful if we could be perfectly honest with ourselves, and others. People of integrity have strayed far from the truths truths that hold for all time, for all eternity. This Centennial year is the time to face facts. Ask any pioneer pi-oneer if virtue was a priceless gift. A virtuous woman was held in esteem, it was a mark of godliness. We've come a long was this 100 years. It's hard to remember that just two generations genera-tions ago, when the mothers and grandmothers of modern girls, were courting. Girls were carefully care-fully chaperoned by vigilant parents right up to the time of the wedding. A fallen woman was shunned, an outcast. An unfaithful un-faithful wife, if caught, was considered an outcast in the community. Up to the first world war, pre-marital experience experi-ence by girls was considered shameful. As a result about only 10 percent of the girls then were non-virgins when they married. Today the 1947-model girls view all relationship with men as a contest discreetly speaking. Women's morals have reached an all time low. Virtue is out of date. No wonder today's woman is experiencing a confusion of mind to the point of neurosis. Socialogists, phychologists, and psychiatrists can offer little help for woman's changing morals. mor-als. It's a sad thing but true women of normal minds, and even intelligent women are "non-virtuous." No simple solution can be offered. of-fered. There's a price for everything every-thing under the sun, and virtue vir-tue comes high. A virtuous woman wo-man is more priceless than rubies. rub-ies. Virtue begins at home. It should be taught as religiously as truth, and honor. It should be saught to sons as well as to daughters. But if the parents are drifting with the tide, immoral-indecent, what can America Am-erica expect of the today's children? Poultry Range Work at agricultural experiment stations shows that savings of 5 per cent to over 20 per cent in feed result when poultry has access to a good grass pasture as compared to those raised on a bare range. ' CT Ffom where MfA " Bert Childers was saying, it's funny how so many of our wartime habits stick with us. Bert likes plenty of butter on his bread, but even now he can't get over spreading it like it was scarce as hen's teeth. And as a war-worker, war-worker, Bert used to stick to a temperate frlass of beer on time off ; and he still holds fast to beer and moderation. Same way with Bert's wife. She not only has no trouble saving used fats, and waste paper. She's learned from wartime necessity to Copyright, LOOKING JOT AHEAD 'n GEORGE & BENSON rmidtil-Minlii Ctlhft Stirtf. Atlwit Behind the Curtain Too much misinformation has been circulated about Rustle. A lot of this has been put into circulation by Russia. Some of it hat come from fellow-travelers and other admirers ad-mirers of the Soviet experiment. There have been honest mistakes of American writers who have been unable to penetrate the mysteries behind the iron curtain. Prominent Americans who have "toured" Russia Rus-sia have too often become dupei of propaganda shows cleverly contrived con-trived for visiting eyes. Gradually, however, facts are coming to light. Documented and unbiased studies are greatly need ed, for they will dispose of many fallacies about the Soviets. Straight facts will set folks right who have accepted such boners as this one: There's no unemployment in Russia. Rus-sia. It's quite true, but slave laborers labor-ers have been estimated at 14,000,-000. 14,000,-000. You see, unemployment insurance insur-ance is not even necessary. Facts Talk Loud Such a factual study is the 141-page 141-page book, Communism in Action, prepared under direction of Congressman Con-gressman Dirksen of Illinois. Printed as a house document by the Legislative Reference Service of the Library of Congress, the book may be obtained from the U. S. Government Printing Office, Washington, Wash-ington, D. C, for 25 cents. Copies are also distributed free by the American Wage Earners Foundation, Founda-tion, Suite 605, 30 North LaSaUe Street, Chicago, 111. Written in a simple, factual style, without the customary slanted or biased approach, the book should interest all Americans who have been confronted with the idea that "the State does the job better." The facts set forth therein do not call for elaboration or editorial bias. They talk loud enough to make a mighty good advertisement for the American Ameri-can way of life. Special Privileges Russian Communism theoretically theoreti-cally envisions a classless society. On the basis of pay, the difference between the status of the wage earner and the manager is mucn greater there than in America. The many "special privileges and bonuses" bo-nuses" that are distributed to the Soviet managers make this inequality inequal-ity more striking. The average wage of workers was reported in pre-war year as approximately $10 to $12.50 a month. What about labor? Yes, in Russia labor is active and organized. Joining Join-ing unions there is a political and economic necessity. Labor leaders are appointed by the ruling group, and their duties are to speed up production, to keep labor disciplined. disci-plined. Wages are not a subject for discussion or negotiation. There is no collective bargaining. Most Russian Rus-sian labor laws, rulings, and practices prac-tices would be called "anti-labor" by American unions. There are no minorities; there is no deviation from the "party line." The final decision of the people, in elections, must conform to the "party" decision. In the party, religion reli-gion is equivalent to "superstitions and unscientific processes." Profits are a capitalistic phenomenon, and therefore go to the state alone. The vast profits of the Soviet do not go to the workers whose property they are said to be, but to further the expansion of "the Soviet of the future." Little wonder this study terms Communism a "theoretical failure." A Child May Dare So Drive With Care A&Kttitimmnt I sit ... ly Joe Marsh Can't Break His Good Habits! save every single thing that might possibly be used again. From where I sit, it's mighty good that so many of these common-sense habits like thrift and moderation have stayed with us. Because they belong in America along with tolerance, and mutual respect for one another's rights. They're habits that have helped to make this country strong and neighborly and free. 1947, United States Brewers Foundation ' APPRECIATION We desire to express our appreciation ap-preciation to our many friends and neighbors who assisted us during and following the loss of our home by fire.
