Only area in Utah affected by rent control is the areas. Some 5,000 units will be affected. V. E. Maxfield, area rent director, says his office in Tooele was closed three weeks ago. "There will undoubtedly be some rent increases with the expiration of rent control, but I believe they will be only nominal, he said. He said that for the most part the housing supply has caught up with the demand. However, he said there was definitely a shortage of units renting for under $50 per month. Mr. Maxfield said a definite housing shortage also existed at the Deseret Chemical Depot and the Dugway Proving grounds. He said personnel officers at the two military installations reported large numbers of workers commuting. He said about 900 units could be used at Deseret alone. Mr. Maxfield said that during the life of his office, 449 rent reductions had been ordered and 916 rent increases granted. "Exorbitant rent was never a great problem in this area," he claimed. "Most excessive rent charges were due to inexperience on the part of landlords. Usually it was the first time they had rented a unit and they were uninformed on what they could charge." However, he noted that some rents had been cut back as much as $50 per month by his office. Meanwhile, B. A. Weight, executive vice president of the Salt Lake Real Estate Board, said he did not believe that removal of rent controls would exert any great influence on rents in this area. Earl P. Staten, executive vice president of the Utah Home Builders Association said he did not tifclieve removal of rent controls would have much effect on private construction of rental units in the areas affected. "With the war in Korea ending, I do not believe that there will be any rush to build rental units in the district On the contrary, there is apt to be a surplus of rental units in the near future, he said.

The Smith family, proprietors of the theatre, announce that it will be necessary to wear special glasses which will be provided at the sale of tickets, but in the near future, pictures by Cinemascope eliminate the glasses. The Gem Theatre still has the largest screen in this area and in the opinion of experts, the screen is perfect for the pictures. 3-- Official Dedication Planned For Labor Day Holiday held The first of many dances will be held at the beautiful new Catholic Recreation Center hall at 2940 South 9000 West on Saturday, August 22 at 9 p.m. The purpose of the dance will be fund raising of course, but with the object of a recreation hall for the entire community to use at all times, the general public is cordially invited to participate in the dance and other festivities at the hall Dedication Planned Dedication of the hall is planned for Labor Day weekend. Bishop Hunt and all former clergymen will be in attendance at the dedication with a solemn high mass marking the completion of this splendid structure, a fine addition to the facilities of Magna. Tickets for the dance can be obtained from Father Freegard or members of the parish who extend their personal invitation to every resident of this area to attend the dance. Mr. and Mrs. L. H.

The Chamber of Commerce points out that there is a county ordinance prohibiting door to door soliciting without license. They recommend that housewives ask to see their license before making any purchase or contracts.

We are rather well acquainted with the few trees which grow around the house. We usually appreciate their shade when the temperature is unusually high, fall in love with a few of them which strike our fancy and are annoyed at their habits which inconvenience as the heavy seeding of the elm, the suckering of the Bolyana Poplar and the love that bugs have for the because of its sweet sap. But very seldom do we take time out and think seriously about trees and the tremendous part they play ip the overall scheme of creation. It is hard to realize that our enormous Redwoods and Sequoias of California are the oldest and largest Lying things on our planet. The famous Sequoia known as the General Sherman Big Tree is nearly 115 feet in circumference, is 273 feet tall, has a volume of 600,120 board feet and an estimated weight of 1000 tons. Few people, indeed catch the mood Kilmer must have had when he wrote the now immortal poem of Trees,' which he climaxed with the unforgettable words; Poems are made by fools like me, but only God ean make a tree. One of the greatest stories ever written about trees is the "Story of the Thousand-Year-Ol- d Pin." by Enos Mills, our great western naturalist This story is the history of a thousand-year-ol- d pine which Mills took apart for very close scrutiny after lumber men had felled it and found it worthless for lumber. Enos Mills stories are little classics on natural history and are fine reading for old and young alike. In this article, I should like to give you some of my impressions of western Utah and a targe part of Idaho, including some of the ' wilderness area of the Sawtooth and Salmon River region. The most important impression one. has after leaving Salt Tji County and going north Info Davis county is the fine dark foliage of both trees and shrubs. This healthy growth is indeed a pleasure to behold after driving through our Salt Lake county area and seeing everywhere yellow dingy - looking foliage caused by excessive salt applied through irrigation. There are, however, some exceptions to this fine growth in Davis county where Bountiful is using Bonneville water. The peach trees have the same yellow chlorotic look as have ours. Bountiful has fine e soils and their limited local water supply coming out of canyons carrying very little lime magnesium and sodium, have in the past produced the fine plant growth common to this area. The Bonneville water originates in the Salt Lake valley watershed and is very heavily salt laden. This is the price we pay for the lack of knowledge concerning quality of water and using anything that is wet. Going north toward Ogden, this fine growth still continues. Ogden and Weber river have fairly good water and soil is still out of mountain formation which is In this Layton, Clearfield area we find fine specimens of evergreen-many of them excessively large which steal the whole show and hide the homes. Many fine maples are also in evidence even the silver maple still has good color. This tree is our very first tree affected by salts and is a veritable barometer of how much salt is accumulating in the soiL Nursery men do not recommend ihe planting of the silver maple any more, but have swung to the more Norway maple The cherry-applpeach and apricot trees also have a dark, glossy foliage and are still good. It is indeed gratifying to see a few communities in our irrigated west that are a healthy green. The predominating tree of Ogden is the American Elm. It adds very much to the charm of Ogden. For many years the American Elm has been one of the most cherished shade trees of eastern United States. Due to the Dutch elm disease, it is fast becoming a tree of the past Ogden people should be very happy that this disease has not reached their area. However, there was an outbreak in Colorado some time ag& There are several American Elm trees in Magna and Garfield. They look my well too. While they grow very slowly for us, the color of the foliage is dark green. Perhaps this tree holds some promise for us. The most impressive thing about Brigham City is its uniform street planting of the London plane tree. The uniform planting n of trees can make I town distinctive.
