Reading from left, OREM Missile Plant Would Be Shot In Arm For Orem Is there a missile industry coming to the Orem area? Our investigation into the matter certainly doesn't indicate indi-cate anything definite, but there appears to be signs on the horizons. From some official offi-cial sources we have contacted we learn that there have been some inquires made by qut-of-state missile firms. One firm, Arrow Jet, from California is reported to be seriously' interested in-terested in placing a plant here. How many people would be employed? Who knows. Judging on other plants it could vary all the way from 1000 to 5000. . ' - . Oh That Smell , For the tast two months at certain intervals when the westerly wind has been just right there has been a noticeable notice-able foul order that resembles the - smell of mustard. Orem Police Department and the City Council Health Department Depart-ment have had several phone calls from people inquiring as to what the odor was and where was it coming from. This week in contacting the City-County Health Department Depart-ment we were informed that the obnoxious odor or gas is believed to be coming from the U.S.S. Nitrogen plant. The health official stated they expected ex-pected to have better information infor-mation as to the contents of the odor after a special investigation in-vestigation of the plant area next week by a specialist from the U.S. Public Health Service. Ser-vice. During the times the odor was at its worst, the City-County City-County Health Department received re-ceived a number of phone calls from two families residing on the Lower Geneva Road, one of whom reported they had ti get up in tne middle of the night and leave home to .get some favorable air they could breathe. We also contacted an official by phone at the nitrogen plant one day recently when the odor was quite noticeable and inquired: in-quired: "Is everything under control down there." The reply wa3 "naturally."' Health authorities believe that the nitrogen plant may possible be changing chemical processes thus causing odors to escape. At any rate the health experts are confident ' that plant officials will be able to find ways and means, if they haven't already, to eliminate eli-minate the odors. Let's Set Record Straight In noting a news story in one d the daily newspapers, we would like to correct a misconception that the public may have regarding the Flora-Festival Flora-Festival production to be staged stag-ed here by the Utah Valley Opera Association in late July. The news story stated the UVOA would produce an opera for the .Orem celebration this year. With all due credit to operas and the great contribution contribu-tion they make to our culture the Flora-Festival production will be a Broadway musical play and not an opera. Orem Boosters, sponsors of the city celebration, feel that for a celebration the feature event should be one that virtually everyone can enjoy. The production pro-duction this year is expected to be one of the following popular Broadway musical plays, "South Pacific," "Carouse!," "Carou-se!," "Annie Get Your Gun," or "Girl Crazy." Supply Depot Work Offers Valuable Training Opportunity For Young Men Friday Feb. 17, 1961 Tne landlubbers were now witnessing the U.S.S. Midway, attack aircraft carrier in a full scale mock attack on the Hawaiian Islands. The weather is now beginning to feel very warm, we notice the officers and men on the ship are going around without ties. The captain cap-tain of the ship has now mad.2 tie wearing optional with the men, believe me most of the men shed the neckwear. The loud speakers blasted out the general quarters alarm, this means that all the crew get to their arranged positions, and man their battle stations. I was on the main hanger deck, when this alarm first went off. Men . were going about their daily chores non-chantly, non-chantly, all of a sudden everyone every-one went into action it reminded you of the reaction witnessed when you stir up an ant bed. Men were going all-ways. all-ways. Throughout the ship the letter Z appears on all doors and hatches that are to be closed and secured during attack. So if you get caught out of position when these doors are fastened you have to remain there until the all-clear all-clear signal is given. The action usually would take about 1 hour. As one scribe described the general quarters quart-ers alarm, and I quote, "that is what I call Orderely Confusion." Con-fusion." About 10 p.m. we all assembled assemb-led on the Admirals Bridge to Lion Sale Of Brooms Successful ' The regular meeting of the Orem Lions Club will be held tonight at 7:30 at the Drift wood Cafe under the direction of President Gilbert Jensen. All Lions are requested to be present. Mr. Jensen reports that the recent broom sale there were sold 40 dozen household brooms, five dozen whisk brooms and one dozen push brooms. "Alfred Bennett, chairman of the broom sale, certainly deserves a bouquet for , his hard work," said Mr. Jensen. "We Lions wish to thank the people of Orem for responding so well, and we are certainly grateful to them." The proceeds from the sale of brooms go to the blind in Utah. The brooms were made by persons at the Blind Cen ter In Salt Lake City. Orem Again Topped All Utah County Cities In New Homes Started In 1 960 First Security Bank last year completed more m o r tgage loans in Utah county than any other commercial bank. Most mortgage loans are for the purchase of homes. This information is contained contain-ed in the mortgage summary compiled by Security Title Company, it was announced Thursday by F. V. Nichol3, vice president in charge of First Security's central division. divi-sion. Richard Carruth is manager man-ager of First Security Bank in Orem. The summary shows that First Security In 1960 com J. Parr Godfrey, Midvale; Jack Warner, War-ner, Spanish Fork; H- C. Mc-Conaughy Mc-Conaughy of Morgan; H. B.

These particular planes were scheduled to return back that day, Later that afternoon we were briefed on the radar equipment. This is the nerve center of the ship. After visiting visit-ing this particular area of the ship, and saw the responsibility that rests on these men, and the scientific know how these young fellows must have, it drives home one thought to landlubbers of our caliber". 'The Importance of Education'. The men who talked to us to explain ex-plain the nerve center of the ship, did a splendid pob, so the lecture would be on a level with the average thinking. think-ing. But a person after visiting visit-ing this department felt that all of the Buck Rogers cartoons were real and not far fetched. Saturday, Feb. 18, 1961 The "General Quarters or man your battle stations" alarm was getting to be routine. rou-tine. We usually were tipped off as to when they were going go-ing to take place, so we would try and be near a lounge or our bunks, so we would not be caught in the shower or the lavatory when the alarm was given. The ship was so big that they would sound the fire alarm, saying that their was a fire in Department H on deck 3, and you would not think any more of it than if you heard there was a fire over in Springville. This ship is roughly equally to 3 football fields in length, and 7 stories high. Once while wa were on the ship they actually did have a fire, we learned later. The ship is so constructed that the depart ment that was burning would be sealed off, by the iron doors, so it would almost be impossible impos-sible for a ship of this type to burn. The ship did not have a thing made of wood except furniture. These drills and alarms get to be a matter of course, but it still made your heart tempo pick up a little when you were in the shower, and a blast came over the loud speaker to abandon ship. One could not help but visualize getting off that carrier into one of those small boats or jumping overboard over-board into that huge Ocean. The Navigator figured out for us that at one point the ocean was 12 miles deep, boy what a swimming hole. Later Saturday we had an interesting session with Commander Com-mander Schela. This man is responsible for all the ships supDlies, such as food, parts Continued on Back Page pleted 242 mortgage loans, amounting to $2,921,250, in Utah County.
