The riding club, composed of nearly 10 prominent Orem men who are all crack horsemen, will also compete for honors in the show's riding competition. The group has appeared several times in Centennial programs throughout the state in riding exhibitions.

For the grand opening roundup round-up Mr. Park has secured the Mc- Bride Rodeo stock which assures assur-es one of the fines' rodeos in the nation. Highlight of the show for many, however, will be the riding club competitions in which hundreds of the finest and best-trained horses in the state will compete. Other attractions for the bowl opening will be special acts by the Kitchenette sisters, tumblers who thrilled Provo Fourth of July celebration audiences; the Satterfield Riders., and Bill Keen, former world champion trick rider and clown. In a statement prepared for the state press early this week Mr. Park had the following to say about his huge enterprise at the f.jot of Timpanogos- "The completion of Timp Bowl is a dream come true. My 6wn money has been used in completing com-pleting this project, and if, as some have suggested, I am sticking stick-ing my neck out, no one except myself will suffer, and already I have received sufficient sate faction to justify the undertak - ing.

The test will come at San Francisco in mid-December a hearing before the Inter state Commerce commission to determine whether Utah, Colorado, Colo-rado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Montana shall have basic industries in-dustries to process their raw ma terials. The case will revolve around whether the steel plant at Gen eva will be permitted to retain the 22 cent a ton reduction in freight rates granted th firm by the ICC some time ago. But the implications of the decision de-cision are much broader than the issue at stake. Actually if the ICC's ruling is interpreted, the freight rate reduction will determine de-termine whether the Rocky Mountain States will have any heavy industry. In a previous case, the ICC decided in favor of the West as opposed to the East in granting an overall 10 percent reduction in freight rates. Now, the battle is between the Rocky Mountain sta.tes and the West coast- Four western railroads the Western Pacific, the Dnever & Rio Grande, the Great Northern, and Union Pacific are backing Geneva's Jight for lowered freight rates- And for sensible reasons. The railroads feel that unless the Rocky Mountain regions gets a fair freight rate there will be no industrial shipping from the area. If an adequate rate is applied, ap-plied, they feel, industry will grow like little Eva in the region. re-gion. Mofe heavy industry in the Rocky Mountain states means 1947 FUNERAL FOR SAMUEL HAMPSHIRE AT WINDSOR CIIAFEL Samuel Richard Hampshire, 70, died Sunday night at a Salt Lake City hospital following a major operation.

More busi ness means more cash for the railroads. Their position is logical, log-ical, at least. None of the steel co:upanie3 in the U. S. are asleep on their feet. Evry steel firm from Pittsburgh to Fontana, California is getting in on the act. But in a pre-hearing confer- ence in Denver, ICC chairman Clyde B. Aitchison squelched Eastern attempts to muscle-in on lower freight rates. Aitchison told them to go home and bring their own suits before the ICC. So the issue has boiled down to: does Geneva keep the lowered lower-ed freight rates that will permit per-mit Rocky Mountain industry to compete against the far-west? If the ICC says yes, that means that Henry J. Kaiser's west coast steel plant burdened by fixed charges that prevent the sale of inexpensive steel will fight with Geneva for steel markets mar-kets in the west. A yes answer from the com mission means also that basic industry in the Rocky Mountain states will be able to compete favorably anyplace west of the Mississippi. But if the commission shouli decide Geneva should not have the lowered rates - - - oh, brother! bro-ther! Just watch Rocky Moun tain industry scream. As Aitchison said: "Its an is sue over which someone can wave a red shirt, and the stuL. on which political platforms are built. Let's not be emotional, I don't want anyone being elected to office on this case." Mr. and Mrs- Karl Bunnel and family recently returned from a trip through the Utah parks.

Tolerance was stated as being Orem's greatest need at the meeting of the Orem Chamber of Commerce held Monday noon at Twin Pines.

The meeting was under the auspices of the Utah County Planning association. The meeting, billed as a caucus cau-cus for Utah county planning problems, failed to get down to the brass tacks of Utah county needs but generalized on the noed and virtues of a planning program and the need for cooperation coop-eration and coordination among the government subdivisions and industries. Nearest approach to identifying identify-ing specific planning problems came in the talk by County Commissioner Co-mmissioner Sjlvan W. CliU-k in which he declared that the Central Cen-tral Utah Projects is the state's most crucial future problem of planning. He pointed ouf that its impact on the economy of the state makes it a paramount issue from the planning standpoint. B. M. Jolley of Orem .state representative, re-presentative, spoke on the subject, sub-ject, "Why Plan?" and outlined outlin-ed the need for the orderly growth of communities. Principal speaker was John Hyde of Salt Lake City. Mayor Mark Anderson of Provo Pro-vo pointed out that municipal planning should be of several types and might include the planning of a finance program as well as of a residential district of a zoning ordinance. Phases of planning were aired by a panel which included Mr. Hyde, Dr. Ariel S. Ballif, H. Vern Wentz, R. J. Murdock and J. Austin Cope. W. H. Callahan, association chairman, acted as moderator. It was brought out during the discussions that Utah county now has 25 percent of the state's manufacturing payroll, yet it still is the state's most important import-ant agricultural county from an acreage standpoint. Geneva Supply Gets Westinghouse Sign Geneva Supply Company, Orem's Or-em's exclusive Westinghouse dealer, increased its display facilities fa-cilities this week with the addition addi-tion of a new official Westing-house Westing-house neon sign on the front of its building.

The following were stated as being outworn ideas: living on the main road in business zoned areas in defiance of business development, de-velopment, Sunday closing of theatres, Sunday closing of stores served the past well; the future will look upon the closed community as a Sunday morgue, school planning in which old worn-out methods will not meet the needs of future development. Name Change The following letter was read in reply to one written by Harry Har-ry Butler asking the views of Walter Mathesius .Geneva Steel Company president, concerning the proposed Orem name change: "Dear Mr. Butler: Acknowledging receipt' of your letter of August 5, permit me, first of all, to state that we here at Geneva appreciate sincerely sin-cerely the good neighborly relations rela-tions which the kind people of Orem have permitted us to enjoy en-joy with them. We want to assure as-sure you that it is our desire to cooperate in every way with the interests which your chamber of commerce represents. We are well aware of the fact that Orem Or-em is the community nearest to our plant site, and certainly are sympathetic to your idea that a community in our name would be desirable. "In all fairness, however,' I find it necessary to recommend to you that you do not take the contemplated action at this time. It is unfortunate my standpoint as well that it has been impossible impos-sible so far for United States Steel Corporation definitely to formulate its plans with respect to the future identity of Geneva Steel Company; and, as you perhaps per-haps know, statements nave been made by corporation officials offi-cials on several occasions to the effect that they are looking fop-ward fop-ward to a consolidation between Geneva Steel Company and Columbia Co-lumbia Steel Company in the not too distant future. On the other hand, Just as definite statements have been made by other corporation oCicials that no such consolidation would be consummated- It is obvious, therefore, that it would be to your interest to defer action on your proposal until this issue has been definitely disposed of-Yours of-Yours very truly, W. Mathesius, President Bank to Open Mr- F -V. Nicholes of the First Security Bank who was present at the meeting stated that the Orem branch of the bank is expected ex-pected to open around September Septem-ber 1, 1947. He stated that Emil Hansen's Orem Paint and WaU-paper WaU-paper building would furnish temporary quarters for the bank untH such a time as a bank building could be constructed. Mr. Nicholes expressed his gratitude to the Orem Chamber for the help it gave in enabling First Security to obtain its charter. char-ter. Growth Predicted . In discussing future growth in Orem Harry Butler, Chamber of Commerce secretary, told of the subdivisioins which are being planned in Orem in the next few years. "A lot of intelligent planning is going into these new housing projects," he said. "Every "Ev-ery one is being designed along the most modern lines-" City Councilman James G. Stratton brought up the question quest-ion of Orem's water situation, but at the suggestion of the group present the discussion was shelved for the present until the mayor and other members of the Orem City Council should be invited in-vited for a round table discussion of the matter. Schools Discussed Lyle McDonald, Orem postmaster, post-master, requested the Chamber of Commerce to go on record as not favoring school construction near busy streets or business districts, and after a discussion of the matter a letter was authorized auth-orized to be written to the Alpine Al-pine district school board expressing ex-pressing the Chamber's views.
