The administration f Orem is becoming a complex enterprise with its bulling bull-ing programs, expanding utilities, health and safety problems, policy making and budget balancing. These are some of the facts of life that seem to be closing in on members of the Orem city council ai thev ontemplate the possibility of employing a city manager. The popularity of the city manager form of government govern-ment hasn't been won by accident, nor by a publicity stunt. Hundreds of cities in the United States and several sev-eral in Utalr (Vernal and Tooele are among them) are finding that the complexities of city government require the administrative talents of a man trained for the joo. Despite the success of the city manager system elsewhere, else-where, we've always felt that Orem would not profit by the change to that form of government. Orem City administration ad-ministration has always been consistently good. City officials, particularly the mayor, have been willing to devote long hours to the tasks which were intended to De handled in spare time. They've served as city managers without the pay of city managers. We have recently been convinced that loyalty to Orem and this community need not and should not be Carried to the point of jeopardizing the health and financial fin-ancial welfare of our public officials. Very soon we must face it. The administration of Orem has become big business. The city has a substantial payroll. We will profit by employing a person equipped by training and temperament to handle the city's growing grow-ing administrative burdens and to expedite the several projects and programs which are in progress. The mayor and the city council will then give their attention as public servants to the job they were elected to do: be a policy making body a board of directors. Life-size Wood Carving of Last Supper .in gill M 1M LyCMIi"M"MiMM"""Miii''iiiM CourtetH Christian Science ''or.ifor BOSTON, MASS. All the specialized skills of some of the finest craftsmen of ! v England have been combined to create this life-size copy in wood of the famous paint:; .g "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci: More than a year was used in preparing the great carving 18'i feet long and 8'i feet wide The figures, of limewood, are delicately tinted to give a feeling of lifelike reality, and a giant frame of contrasting con-trasting walnut gives it depth. The carving will be the point of central interest in The Upper Room chapel, now nearing completion in Nashville. It is expected that visitors who view the carving will be moved to spend a few moments in prayer and meditation in keeping th the purpose of The Upper Room a devotional guide issued in 17 languages and used round the world. The chapel its .-If is part of the new headquarters building for The Upper Boom, the world's most wH-ly used devotional guide. It is believed that it will become a devotional shrine and point of interest for visitors of the Midsouth. The picture shows W. D. Irving, of Irving and Casson, New York and Boston, who have produced wood carvings for some of America's greatest churches and cathedrals. The wood carving was done from a model created by Earnest Pelligini. Quick Dessert Broil some canned grapefruit segments seg-ments with your next broiled dinner din-ner for a quick dessert.

HAIR HI Folks, This week I have a great many things on my mind. . . . Thoughts. Thou-ghts. I'll attempt to pass them along to you. First I want - to encourage parents to be at all I times consistent in their deal-J ings with their children with friends and associates. A child is a copy cat. and it isn't longj 'til junior is copying papa or. itmiiia ill autnc nine uiwilMSUIUl thing; if a parent says NO to a child, let them mean it. Most children are artists at the game of wearing a parent down. So before vou say "NO" to your ' ' " " think twice and then stick to it. t Do you r amber the words of Mark AntKny when he spoke at Ceasers funeral? "The evil that men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Ceaser." I remember this when I was studying literature under Ora Cunningham. She had quite a time explaining it to me. Now it is my turn to try to explain it to the grand children about some of our public officials. We, the public, overlook the good they do and carp and scold and condemn them for the little things they do or may not do to please us individually, without stopping to realize that no pub lic official can please everyone because we all have dlfterent desires. I wish the children wouldn't put me on a spot by asking so many questions. I'm rusty. Definitions TROUBLES: A little wholesome neglect is all a trouble needs. REPENTANCE: To be sorry en ough to quit.

"If I were asked what part Communist penetration had played in creating our difficulties and perplexitie of today in the field of foreign affairs, I would have to say that as far as these past years are concerned that part has been negligible. ... On the other handJI have seen serious damage done in these recent years to public confidence and to governmenta morale by the mishandling mis-handling of our own measures to counter precisely this problem of Communist penetration." GEORGE F. KEN-NAN, KEN-NAN, most recent ambassador to Russia. . . U. S newspapers are suffering from monopoly and consolidation .The variety of American newspapers is shrinking disastrously. Not one American in maybe 70 or 80 has much of a choice in his own town ... of getting two sides of the news, or even two comments on the news. What I'm afraid of is that there are generations genera-tions of Americans growing up who not only don't res-pect res-pect diversity of opinion but who don't know what it is. ...
