" , 5 -"fi,i, ... - Scera, completed eight years ago on Stpt. 5, marks its anniversary this year by making still another striking contribution to this community. The new pool, a $25,000 community-owned recreation center, is that birthday gift. , Nine years ago Scera was barely more than an idea in the minds and a determination in the hearts of a few men to provide in Orem a center for religious, cultural and recreational activities. The idea and the determination determin-ation proved to be a potent mixture. In less than two years the handsome theatre was completed through contributions and loans of hundreds of Orem residents. Today, largely through Scera, Orem has one of the nation's best-known recreation programs. The theater and the Scera program are blessings to the community. And Scera will continue to benefit the community if the same spirit of self-help and cooperation among the community's citizens continues. This community owes a loyalty to Scera because Scera belongs to this community. Your patronage of the theater and the Scera program will return to you benefits you cannot buy for yourself in community betterment and recreational opportunities for your family- PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ENTERPRISE Because communism is obviously bad, from our standpoint, stand-point, and because socialism isn't pulling England out of the precarious predicament the exhaustng years of war put her into, the system of private enterprise looks unusually good. j And the contrast is sharpened by the tremendous pio-duction pio-duction records made here in the United States during the post-war years. The fruits of the private enterprise system need no rehearsing re-hearsing in this column. Our country's fabulous wealth and our high standard of living are largely the result of that system. But while we honor private enterprise and the part it has played in the strength of America, let us not forget the strength which lies in public enterprise. It was public, not private, enterprise which built Scera, and which maintains it as the city's beauty spot. Nor could private enterprise build a Scera pool, or establish es-tablish a Mendelssohn Chorus. We do not expect private enterprise to educate our children. It takes public enterprise en-terprise to build a Hoover Dam or a Central Utah Project, Pro-ject, or to operate a Velvet Highway celebration or win a war. It seems to .us that we're hearing and reading too much lately of the mistaken philosophy , that we must "remain free under capitalism or become slaves under anything else." There are fields of endeavor in which the public, as an entity, can and should operate.

THIS 'II THAT Ethyl Nielsen Hair I'M GLAD I'M NOT A MAN! Hi, Folks, As long as I can remember- there were a few old-fashioned customs that irked me- and I rebel against them. ... When I was a little girl, too young to understand, but with big ears, the ladles who came to our house would confide to mother: I wish I were a man- And even ' today, it is a very common thing to hear a gal say, "I wish I were a man." But you can be sure that they are only talking and it means absolutely nothing. There is no woman in her right mind who woulld want to be a man, the way things stand today. I wouldn't want to be a little boy either. They are the most under-privileged class of individuals, individ-uals, except for Papa, who is very henpecked. Friend Wifie certainly does not do all the henpecking, because be-cause it is Mama who starts the age old heckling: "Don't do this and don't do that, sonny" . . . . .'Wipe your feet, sonny, you're tracking up the floor" . . . "Wipe your nose, sonny . . No. no, use your hanky" . . . and on and on it goes, until sonny builds up in his mind a mother resentment. And psychiatrists say this lays 28 West Center I'rovo WHY DON'T YOU READ A MAGAZINE TONIGHT? MAXIMUM ENTERTAINMENT MINIMUM COST R.

What earthly good would a million mil-lion dollars do me if I were a man and had a resentment that amounted to a fixation. I'd have ulcers and be a little afraid of all women, besides being henpecked. hen-pecked. Friend wife would want a fur coat and all the things that go with fur coats and to live on the avenue. There would be the keeping up with the Joneses. Poor Papa. I would be nagged to death, ! eventually all wives and moth-iers moth-iers are naggers, so a psychiat-1 psychiat-1 rist says, and I have no reason to doubt that statement- Hen-pecking Hen-pecking and nagging should have been discarded along with the bustles and the 18th century. cen-tury. But for Carrie Nation, many of these age old customs would have been abandoned, but here was a gal for you. Nope, not for anything in this world would I want to be a man. Men are slaves for every pretty, female who uses tact and diplomacy. diplo-macy. This type of a lady gets what she wants from life with as little effort as possible. This wise little gal ncvei nags, never henpecks. Oh, no! She is too smart and a master of the gentle art of managing men. And the funny part of it is that a mere man can't see through her tactics. Men are suckers for sweet sounding glat-tery. glat-tery. This type of woman is deadly, be it mother, sister, or sweetheart, or friend wife. Men should be protected. Nope, I wouldn't want to be a man, not for all the fun in the world. The sad thing about the men is that they are so handicapped. There is not a thing they can do about the age old domination by the fairer sex. Mother starts the henpecking back in Junior's romper days, and friend wife, schooled and master of the art of managing men, takes over and continues. Some men are not aware of this ancient custom. There should be a change. We've come a long way since the cave man era when ne hit her over the head with his club and dragged her into his cave and she bashed his head flat with he very same club in the years to follow. But we are supposed to be civilized today. Women are supposed to have equal rights and all that old stuff and nonsense. I could be if we were to discard the attitude that Papa is the boss of the house and sonny the cock-of-the-walk, then that word equal might come into being. But as long as sonny and father are to continue to kid themselves that they are the lord and master of the house, they will be henpecked and domineered dom-ineered and flattered into doing what the gals want them to do. And that is a sure way to the bicarbonate box, and ulcers and an over-whelming resentment. resent-ment. The way things stand today. I wouldn't want to be a man.

"The local government petitions for an airport and is lulled into the belief that the federal government is giving giv-ing it to it. The local community forgets that it has already al-ready given the government enough in the form of taxes to build two airports instead of one.

S. Alaska Standard" with considerable affection. For, over the years, she's helped Alaskans develop thousands of jobs. Regularly she loads a full cargo of petroleum products and takes them wherever they're needed . . . like some giant floating service station. She pokes her prow into rocky inlets to serve fish canneries, goes on up the coast a few miles to bring a new mine the lubricants it needs to work, stocks oil for fishermen so they no longer have to travel six or seven hundred miles to refuel when the salmon run is on. In short, she helps both the coast and interior of Alaska develop its resources ... just as the oil industry throughout all our country helps other industries grow and people work, produce and prosper. ; '-"u oil rr "CALIFORNIA ww'roifcefter ssKKKKK:n:i::sn::!aa:aii |
