But the significant thing about the decision of the group was the manner in which it was arrived at. Strangely enough, there was no drum-beatir, no oratory or-atory regarding our faith in the future of Orem and in our duty to keep ahead of the growth which Orem is certain cer-tain to have. There was no fine speech about our duty to the future. Rather, there was merely a down-to-earth discussion of rock-bound facts, stubborn figures and '.glaring needs. Mayor Gillman gave a graphic picture of what Orem's financial sheet showed, and, backed up by City Engineer Engin-eer Leonard Beckman, he told what the water picture is. On the basis of those two. stories the group discussed the possibilities, then reached agreement that the reservoir res-ervoir ought to be built and that it could be built. The mass meeting Monday bodes good for the success of the bond election and for the establishment here of a water system which will make Orem the envy of the entire state. Even more important, although it wasn't mentioned at the meeting: Everone seemed to enjoy the experience of seeing everyone pull together on a community improvement im-provement project. if w - .''''::-v NEW QUEEN . . .

It is a comprehensive survey of the nation's health and manpower resources in 186 pages chock full of awesome and fearsome reading. It makes one wonder how the richest nation In the world can spend the billions it does spend on reclamation, reclama-tion, on conservation of natural resources re-sources and spend so little In comparison com-parison on human needs and reclamation rec-lamation and conservation of human resources of the nation. Here are some shocking facts gleaned from the report: Every year 325,000 people die whom we have the knowledge and skills to save; every year the nation loses 4,300,000 man-years of work through bad health; every year the nation loses $97,080,000,000 that's billions of dollars in national wealth through sickness and partial and total disability; a scant 20 per cent of the people are able to afford af-ford all the medical care they need; we need 37,000 more physicians, 20,000 more dentists, 125,000 more nurses; we need double the number of hospital beds we now have; 98,000 psople died In accidents last year 10,400,000 were Injured; medical treatment and lost wages totaled $3,000,000,000 property damage and insurance added another $3,400,000,-000. $3,400,000,-000. Despite this terrific loss federal, state and local expenditures on health programs last year totaled only $1,962,000,000 and it cost private individuals another $6,500,000,000. Conservation of our human resources re-sources should at least be as profitable prof-itable as conservation of natural resources; more than 40 per cent of all counties in the country with population o over 15,000,000 have no hospital at all; in states where per capita income is lowest, death rate per thousand is highest; about 70,-000,000 70,-000,000 people or about 50 per csnt of families have incomes under $3,000 and cannot provide minimum medical care for those families; in 1945, 70 per cent of all farm families fami-lies had rsFh lifotTiPi of is than pv;i- cea ail, need deatal attention; atten-tion; cavities la children's teeth, are Utah Lake Drops Fast Utah Lake, after making one of the most rapid declines since records have been kept, now stands 3.4 feet below the high level it reached this spring, ac- SHOPPING CENTER Location near BYU. 100 x 100 commercial commer-cial corner, 2 excellent building build-ing lots and home.

And he recommends rec-ommends a federal health Insurance In-surance law which would permit per-mit eren the poorest to have the best medical attention whenever necessary. As an instance of how the human resources are being neglected, it is pointed out that the social security act as amended in 1946 sets a ceiling ceil-ing of $11,000,000 on grants for maternal ma-ternal and child health services Which could, if properly administered, administer-ed, probably save those 28,000 babies, if the rest of the nation reached the Rhode Island efficiency.

The report goes on further to say that "improvements of rural health Is one of the major requirements for raising the levels of national health" and that special recommendations in both manpower and hospital programs pro-grams should be included with particular par-ticular reference to rural districts.

This is the story of young lovers suddenly confronted with the violence of their emotion and its irresistible demands. Penney Lorrimer's father was. an Edinburgh lawyer, a low-lander low-lander who had muffled nisi highland wife until she was more staid and conventional than he. When Mr. and Mrs. Lor-rimer Lor-rimer said Penney was too young and refused their consent con-sent to her marriage with an unknown, penniless Londoner, it took more than her highland grandfather to change their minds. David Bosworth was in his last year at Oxford and sure of high honors and a good job- But his father was an invalid and his sister expected David to support sup-port her when he had finishpH his last term. Selfishness and self-sacrifice, family loyalty and defiance, an independent spirit and subservience to convention, all vie with each other to complicate comp-licate the maze through which David and Penney must find their way.

On most subjects I was luke warm. Beer joints, for instance, I went along in this way for years: I always reasoned liquor never hurt me and if I didn't bother it, it wouldn't bother me. But, alas, I was wrong, so terribly wrong. I nearly lost my dearest possessions because of this wrong attitude. That woke me up and I've been awake ever since- I'm no longer straddle of a fences I'm on the right side and fighting fight-ing mad- And I'll keep on fighting fight-ing with the last breath I draw because I know I'm right. Straddleri Get me down And I want to say to them, "Brother, make up your mind". It's pure undiluted misery to remain re-main straddle of a fence, because be-cause a thing is either right or wrong. And it takes guts to stand by your guns, and I should know. I remember when I vas of the opinion that what little beer or liquor my family consumed con-sumed was of no consequence. But, as it turned out, it was of terrible consequence it cost souls, that were dear to me. That's why I said to a fan who called me and said, "Etnyl, what's wrong with just a little drink?", "Brother, do you and your friends quit with just a little drink?" "Not always,'- he said honestly. That's what I mean, about that little drink or any other wrong, which we are all heir to in some way or some manner. The Lord has Expressed Himself On the matter of being neither neith-er hot or cold (or straddlje of a fence). "I know thy 'rorks, that thou are neither cold or hot: I would that thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm and neither hot or cold, I will spue thee out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:15). Every normal nor-mal person ' certainly knows right from wrong. Then why, oh why, do some people like myself my-self wait 'til a catastrophy befalls be-falls some loved one before making up their mind? I suppose I'll spend most of my life asking ask-ing why?

It reads "Turn ye not unto idols nor make to yourselves molten Gods-I Gods-I am the Lord your God." Another enlightening Biblical citation in this lesson reads, "Then spake Jesus again unto them saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have light if life." John 8:12. And, after all, it is style aione by which posterity will judge of a great work- for an author can nave nothing truly his own but his style. D'Lsraeli The style of an author should be the image of his mind, but the choice and command of language lan-guage is the fruit of exercise. Edward Gibbon The power of applying attention, atten-tion, steady and undissipated, to a single object, is the sure mark of a superior genius.
