Party Chairmen Set Convention Dates For Orem Orem's political pot was beginning be-ginning to bubble this week with the announcement by the chairmen chair-men of the city's two political parties of this year's municipal convention dates.

The terms of Councilmen Har-ley Har-ley M. Gillman, E. Dixon Larson Lar-son and Ellis T. Rasmussen all expire on Jan. 1, 1968. This year's municipal elec tions are still being viewed with a ho-hum" attitude both by the general public and prospective candidates. Politically-minded people who have been trying to flush out some nonincumbent candidates have been greeted with unequivocal unequivo-cal "not interested' rejections more frequently than with "maybe "may-be responses. But there are two or three possibilities withsufficientpres-tige withsufficientpres-tige and support to make them contenders who have indicated Orem Post Office Sets Open House Monday Postmaster Clyde E. Weeks announced plans today for a colorful color-ful local celebration of Postal Services Day on Monday Sept. 25, with an open house at the Post Office from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to a number of events designed to tell of the vital role the Orem Post Office plays in Orem, city carriers will dramatize dra-matize the day by distributing kits made up of eight postal cards which will enable Orem residents resi-dents to update their mailing lists by having ZIP Codes added. Each completed card will be sent to the post office which serves the address needing a code. There, the proper five digit number will be added before the form is returned to the owner, Postmaster Weeks explained. 'No postage will be needed." "I feel that a day dedicated to the importance of the Postal System in our growing city will be of considerable public value he said. Unfortunately, many of the services we offer today are little known to the public After a number of discussions discus-sions with Roscoe D. Carroll, president of the Orem Chamber of Commerce, I was prompted to an UVIDA Conference UVIDA's Second Annual Industrial Indus-trial Develoment Conference, October 6 and 7 will feature two well known Utahans as speakers at the opening and closing sessions ses-sions of the Conference. Sixteen hundred citizens of Utah Valley and guests from other parts of the State are expected to attend the two day meet. 'The first session is slated to begin Friday night, October 6, at the RiversideCountryClubwith a reception and dinner in honor of five 'guest experts' who have been invited to participate in an industrial development forum Saturday morning. Several Utah Valley based firms will also be honored. .The keynote speaker will be Milton L. Weilenmann, Executive Director of Co-ordinating Council of Development Services, State of Utah. Mr. Weilenmann Wei-lenmann will discuss Utah Valley's potential for internal growth and the responsibility of local leadership. Another highlight of this year's Conference will be theLD. Forum on Saturday, October 7 from 8:30 to 11:30 in the Wilkinson Center, B.Y.U.

THREE INCUMBENTS Among the incumbents, it is considered unlikely that Councilman Council-man Rasmussen will become a candidate for re-election, although al-though it is understood that Coun cilman Larson has not yet shut the door on that possibility. Councilman Gillman, who is also al-so a Utah State Legislator, is virtually certain not to become a candidate for a third term as councilman. Between now and convention time, nearly every church or civic civ-ic gathering finds groups who play the political guessing game. Men whose names keep cropping up as prospective candidates for Mayor include Harley M. Gillman, Gill-man, Ell K. Clayson, Laird Billings, Bill-ings, WinstonM.Crawford,Clyde E. Weeks, Jr., Glen C. Shaw and Clifton M. Pyne. COUNCIL PROSPECTS Considered as prime prospects pros-pects for the three Council posts at stake are Roscoe Carroll, John Huish, Robert Dove, Marion Clark, Scott Wilkins, CarlClegg, Marvin Burgon, Warren Bunting, Murray Rawson, Stanley J. Thayne and Wes Kofford. Which of these men would be available for the nominations, even if they .were offered, remains re-mains to be seen. Possibly, some dark horses, as yet untested at the track, will romp home, winners. win-ners. One issue which will likely play a significant part in the election campaign this year is the approach ap-proach the two parties will take to the City Center program being developed by the present Council. Voters will want to know where the candidates stand on this program, pro-gram, and where they intend to go, if they are elected. nounce the local observance of a day in which all of Orem can become more intimately aware of the services provided by the Orem postal employees, Mr. Weeks said. The Orem Chamber of Commerce Com-merce felt," the Postmaster explained," ex-plained," that many of the advantages advan-tages of our city have been ad vertised often, but rarely have we directed attention to the excellent postal facilities Orem provides." He noted that the Orem Post Office this year is marking its 24th year of public service, having been established early in Jan uary, 1944, in the south wing of the Orem City Hall. Locally, the Orem Post Office today serves over 24,000 people, with 30 employees," he added. Postal receipts during the past fiscal year were over $13,000.00" I feel, too," he said, 'that this will be an appropriate time to call attention to the dedicated services of our employees, whose performance day in and day out is largely taken for granted." Mr. Weeks invited local res idents, young and old, to drop in the post office Monday and see how their mail is handled. October 6 and 7 Dr. Royal L.
