Although both proposed schools were previously announced as seven school room buildings, new plans now call for the North Orem school building to be increased to a 14 classroom capacity.

School Board officials reported that the winning bid was attractive attrac-tive enough to warrant immediate change from seven to 14 class room capacity for the north Orem building; and that it may be highly desirable to do likewise with the south Orem building.

The winning bid allowed $290,- 000 for the 14 classroom build ing and $200,000 for the seven classroom building. Board officials offic-ials state that the expansion to a 14 room structure is well worth the extra $90,000. Thirteen bids for the two schools were received by the board. Bids ranged from $450,000 to $553,000. The two structures are to be consisted by July 31, 1954.

Orem Advertiser Amazed at Result-Power Result-Power of "O-G Times" Another evidence of the pulling pull-ing power of advertising in the Orem-Geneva Times was manifest last Saturday night when nearly 100 automobiles were admitted to the Geneva 9rive-In Theatre in response to an advertisement that appeared in the last edition of the "Times." Readers desiring to attend a free showing of "Salome" were asked to clip a coupon from the two column by seven inch ad appearing ap-pearing on a page filled with other advertisements and bring it to the outdoor cinema, which would admit one car and its occupants oc-cupants free. Automobiles poured into the outdoor theater Saturday night despite the fact that the film had a one week run at another Orem theatre only two months previous. The ad was placed by the advertiser ad-vertiser to determine the result-power result-power of the Orem-Geneva Times as an advertising medium. Saturday Satur-day night's demonstration was the answer. f Rlt'l itVOri V -7y i -'- 1 LARAE ERCANBRACK daught- LE ANN LOVELESS, daughter of BETH HARDING, daughter of Mr. er of Mr and Mrs C. L.
