It has the area, the water, and a good basic foundation in schools, business district, dis-trict, churches, and recreational facilities. Its population has grown from a passive 3300 people to double that number. Massive Geneva Steel stands in the back door yard. American Ameri-can Fork is on the threshold of the opportunity for an industrial in-dustrial era. Like the confused growing adolescent, few of the property holders seem to realize what has happened the last few years or realize the importance of a duel role of industrial in-dustrial and agriculture expansion. That the community is suffering from growing pains is apparent there is need of new industries and payrolls, more adequate housing, more business buildings along Main street, a sewage system and disposal plant, a new city hall, more parking space and development of the canyon mining and recreation areas. Who should map and execute a plan for progress without with-out regard to politics, clique or church? The property holder! Greater industry means greater market fori agricultural products pro-ducts at home who knows what the limit of the market might be! Let progress be a dual role of industrial and agriculture expansion. Millionth Phone Added By Bell Telephone Co. State Junior Music Festival Dates Now Set . The one millionth rural telephone tele-phone to be added by the Bell System since the war was placed In service December 16 in the farm home of W. J. Pace, thir teen miles from Burlington, North Carolina. The telephone was installed with appropriate ceremonies by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, one of the associated companies of the Bell System. The first call from the tele phone was made to President Harry S. Truman in Washington, D. C. by U. S. Senator J. Melville Broughton of North Carolina who introduced Mr. Pace to the chief executive. With the addition of these million new telephones, there are now more than 2,300,000 Bell System telephones serving rural areas. Fast, economical construction methods developed and perfected by telephone engineers in recent years have helped speed the work of extending and improving telephone tele-phone service in rural areas. Poles are now set farther apart, thanks to a new stronger wire. Better tools, such as portable power-driven augers to dig pole holes, have helped speed the lineman's line-man's job. All music teachers of the district dis-trict are invited to have their students register for entrance to the state Junior Music Festival which will be held locally the last week in March. Students with superior ratings will then be eligible to enter in the state festival fes-tival which is scheduled for the first week in April. Both events are sponsored by the Utah State Federation of Music clubs. Entrance can be made in almost al-most every field of music. In voice there will be entries from primary to very difficult; in piano pia-no from primary to Concerto; also piano duos and ensembles. Mixed voices, glee clubs, both senior and junior high school entries en-tries up to the age of la; organ, violin, cello, Goodwin, orchestra and band entries are also listed. There is, too, a section in musicianship, music-ianship, essay and composition. In each section there is one required number and one number may be chosen by the students. Application blanks and rules of entry may be secured from Mrs. Kenneth McDonald or Mrs. Frank G. Shelley, who are representing the state organization. No awards are given but the entrant is given place and rate and good constructive criticism which will be an inducement to further study, Mrs. McDonald said. 3 STAR SPECIAL DRAPERIES SLIPCOVERS UPHOLSTERING Big Reduction in Labor Charges If Ordered During Jan. or Feb.
