Mail Bag Dear Mr. Semit: I think the time has come for an irate citizen to speak. I beleve we have a slogan in Orem to the effect that we make our city beauitful. Someone Some-one has been cleaning up all right, but they Just moved their debris from one part of our city and practically dumped it in the front yard of some of the others. I am speakng of the unsightly mess that lines the 4th North entrance to the Geneva Steel plant. - - There are no less than a dozen doz-en piles of trash incuding cans, and dead chickens, even paper cartons and bags that could have been burned in the back yard, had the persons the ambition to do so. Apparently it is much easier to dump it on the highway on the way to work. I'd like to say that Orem has a dump ground, especially prepared pre-pared for such stufl, and it is not surrounding the property of Antoine & Mabel Bunker Orem Health Office Needs Equipment Cleanup and renovation of the office of the Orem Health , Office is underway this week, under the direction of Miss Flo Beck, city health nurse.

The establishment in the near future of a liquor store or package liquor agency in Orem loomed as a possibility this week with two applications to operate a store here receiving receiv-ing the consideration of the State Liquor Commission. Bidding for the liquor agency are Orville K. Harris, local drug store owner and Orem resident, and Earl Oss, Provi businessman. Under the law the liquor commission has the power to open a liquor store wherever it sees fit to best serve he interests of the people, without securing permission or approval ap-proval from the city council or townspeople. However, it is customary for the liquor commission to. follow the recommendations recom-mendations of the city governing body in establishing a store. Chamber to Push Completion of Curb and Gutter The Orem Chamber of Com merce, at its regular noon meeting meet-ing last Friday, pledged to support sup-port the city council in obtain ing for Orem an additional curb and gutter project which will qualify the city for curb to curb paving from Nirth North to Ninth South. Orville Harris, Toffee Hauz-en Hauz-en and Homer McEwan were named on the chamber's committee com-mittee to aid the council in carrying the petitions which will be necessary to initiate the curb and gutter program. Ray Hanks was named by the chamber to represent the group on the rodeo and city-wide sum mcr celebration committee. Senator B. M. Jolley addressed address-ed the group and reported on the highlights of the state leg islature as it affected Orem. He said that most important was passage of the bill which provided pro-vided that it is not mandatory for cities of second class to maintain their own school dis tricts, f Billie Ray Baker, tour-year-old son of Chamber President Bill Baker, was inducted as a non-participating but paid-up member of the chamber. General .discussion was held on the county-wide program to rehabilitate Utah Lake as a recreation re-creation area by initiating a county-coordinated program for sewage and waste disposal. ' The meeting was held at Bill and Iva's cafe. The Sharon ward Primary preparation meeting was held on Monday night at the Rulon Petty home, with Nida Boswell in charge. Others present were Lena Adams, Mary Lou Hawkins, Hawk-ins, Julia Higgins, Elzina Perry, Verda Jtpperson, Iris Elder, Jerry Croft, Ethel Crabtree. Naomi Warwood and Mrs. Petty. Pet-ty. Mrs- Clark Collings has returned home from the Utah Valley hospital where she underwent un-derwent an operation recently. She is reported to be recovering nicely. 2 Bid S In times past the Orem City Council has discouraged the opening of a liquor store in Orem and has put the damper on the plans of several Orem citizens desiring to open one here. However, at this time when the liquor commission is studying the, applications of two persons a resident and a nonresident non-resident of the city council-men council-men have voiced unofficial approval ap-proval of Mr. Harris to operate the store, should the liquor commission decide to open one here. Arguments in favor of a liquor liq-uor store in Orem include the liquor commission statistics showing that Orem residents spent $100,000 00 during 1943 on liquor purchased at the liquor stores in adjoining cities, in which case a locally operated operat-ed store would be a deserved convenience for a great many ' people. Opponents of the move to bring a liquor store to Orem argue ar-gue that it would encourage the greater use of alcohol and thus tend to lower morality by making liquor easily available to those who would not ordinarily ordin-arily use it. For several years legators have proposed that only cities having liquor stores should participate par-ticipate in the divsllon of the liquor profits which ' u.-der the present Iset-up are distributed; on a population basis to cities for the maintenance of Class B and C roads. As long as the present law is in effect Orem would not need a liquor store to get its share of this 'B and C road money. --,., The 'immediate question now is "Will the liquor commis:'on approve the Eppl!catl-r:i cf l.Ir.
