This was done with the hope of stimulating stimula-ting interest in beautifying individual in-dividual oremises in each ward. The chairman of each ward should now be working with their aids in the process of visit ing every home. Each hoiie owner will be given a blanK on which he may list the improvements improve-ments he anticipates on his own place. Let's get behind ihis movement. A special committee with Oscar Anderson as chairman is working with Ithe state road commission on a possible plan to landscape the highway 91 entrances en-trances to Orem City. As motorists ascend the hills at either the Nirth or South entrance en-trance of Orem, a perfect gateway gate-way is formed, which would add greatly to the city's natural beauty if this project goes through.

We have one of the finest theatre lounges in the state where these interesting pioneer relics can be displayed. Each article will be labeled and description attached telling the history and circumstances under which they were obtained. Mr. Niels Anderson makes this request: "If there's any article of furniture or any special piece of pioneer relic, we would appreciate knowing of their whereabouts with the opportunity to loan them for this week's exhibit. The articles will be well cared for. Members of the Daughters of ihe Pioneers will be on hand at all times to see that they are not molested. They will be called for and returned at ihe end of the exhibit". In as much as the space is limited, we desire to exhibit only the best. For example, the oldest spinning wheel, or one of the oldest or most interesting flint rock rifles, some unusual article of clothing made by pioneers, etc. In order to do this, we must know of the whereabouts of these relics so we can make proper selection and get inscriptions made. Many of the relics are now of little value to anyone as so few people see them. In as much as this is the Centennial Centen-nial Year, now's the time they should be brought out where they can serve as a reminder of ihe sacrifices our pioneer", made to make possible the fine things we enjoy today. In as much as we exDect visitors from all parts of the state during this premier showing of ihe picture BRIGHAM YOUNG, we desire to make this exhibit outstanding.
