There are few "middle-of-the-roaders." Either a voter i3 a member of the Peoples party or the Citizens party. Whichever it is, he's all for it. If he's a "northerner" he wants Orem to centralize in the north end of the city; if a "southerner" he can't see anything but a huge shopping district south of the City Hall. The city has its church people and its non-church group. Both appreciate feeling their own influence in the city. There are those who favor city zoning and those who would throw zoning to the nether depths, and both can defend their stand all the way. Some in the city aie for industrialization of the city, others would have the city remain entirely residential and agricultural. And there are the broad groups: the conservatives and the liberals. Perhaps in no other small city are found the lines so sharply drawn as in Orem, and the rapid growth of the city has emphasized the differences of opinion and viewpoint among the groups. To a large extent the differences are all to the good. There's no apathy with regard to the affection and zest which residents have for Orem and for the faith which its people have in the future. On thing is certain: Orem residents are interested in Orem. There's no apathy. The New Year season seems an appropriate time to express a significant statement which athletic coaches used to have painted on the walls of dressing rooms, and which may be the key to the future growth and develop-" ment of our city: "Pull for your team-mate his success is your success." One day, we hope during 1948, it will become obvious to those who live in North Orem that the growth of South Orem will benefit them in a score of ways; increased valuation of the city and additional taxes, additional potential po-tential customers, additional taxpayers to share tax loads, etc. And it should be obvious to Southerners that the growth of North Orem does the same thing. We hope duririg 1948 there is a recognition of the fact that the Peoples party has no monopoly on ideas or progress, nor does the Citizens party. Perhaps during the year there will be a deeper realization on the part of the church people that the non-church folk have a point of view which has merit. Our plea is not for compromise with those things that are wrong, but for a willingness to explore the ideas presented by others. Pull for your team-mate. If youH check carefully, d may be working for the same goal as you are, though his method may not oe tne same, in any case success is your success. f i GEORGE & BENSON tmUnt-Hitilt CtUtp Sitrtf.Artttm his NURSERY STOCK 300,000 Peach, Apple, Pear, Prune, Plum, sweet and sour Cherry, Nectarine and NUT trees; Berries of all kinds for immediate or Spring delivery. de-livery.

His remarks seemed to me worthy of a larger audience. This recent trip, according to Mr. Morton, was no V.I.P. excursion. (The Very Important People sometime some-time I arrive at conclusions that have been plr.iined by their hosts in advance.) Actually, Mr. Morton rented a small French ear and drove it 2,500 miles, talking to everybody along the way. Because he speaks French tluenlly, our Midwestern er was taken tor a Frenchman when outside France, for an Englishman when in Francebut hardly tar aa American at any time. Peacetime Damage In France, Mr. Morton reported the cost ol living up ten times over 1937, with wages having Increased six times. "How an elevator operator, opera-tor, for instar.ee, can live on 8,000 francs a month is a mystery. Or how a laborer can be content on the official ration of two-fifths of a pound of bread a day. Things are very much out of balance." However, How-ever, Mr. Morton sees France on the road to recovery, in a physical way. BUT: "France is cursed with government employees. There always al-ways were droves of them now there are hordes! One former Maqul suggested the way to improve conditions con-ditions was to machine gun half the fonctionaires'l Even Senator Byrd doesn't go that far! . . . French production figures are highly encouraging. encour-aging. If governmental expenses could be cut down, the printing of money stopped, confidence and prosperity pros-perity would soon return." Help Them Produce Of the British: "One can have nothing but admiration for . . . what they went through so steadfastly. That they should be afflicted, in peace, with a government which has done, psychologically, financially financial-ly and commercially, probably as much damage, is a cruel tragedy. Only the miracles of socialistic planning, plan-ning, applied to a fertile island underlaid with coal and surrounded by seas teeming with fish, could bring about a situation in which the people are cold and hungry." On loans and gifts: "I think it would be pouring money down a rat hole to make any more loans to governments, yet I feel that we should, for our own sakes, help those who are willing to help themselves. My idea would be to make loans direct to private producers on very easy terms and for productive purposes pur-poses only. ... We can't stop Communism Com-munism by giving corrupt or Inefficient Ineffi-cient or minority governments the means of remaining in office. "We can stop it by building up the productive capacity of the threatened nations. ... I doubt that Europe's economy will be healthy until Germany again is producing and consuming. . . . Britain, France, 'Italy, yes, Germany, too help them I to produce again. That is the way to bring stability and peace."

Deep snow in Utah mountains moun-tains is like money in the bank. Heavy snowfall is equally important im-portant to other states which depend de-pend on irrigation. t Snow falls, as a rule, during some months of the year, in 47 states, with Florida being the exception.

While we get plenty of food, Clegg points out, we are probably eatina fruits, vegatables and grains wnich no longer contain enough certain vital minerals so important impor-tant to health. "Healthy plants mean healthy people," aays Clegg. "You can't raise a strong race on a mineral depleted soil." In support of his claims Clegg has had soil samples from various vari-ous fields analyzed and can readily read-ily show the soils In many instances in-stances are below standard in calcium, iron and 14 other important im-portant minerals. He maintains that if farmers would put back in the soil the 16 minerals now being depleted, vegetables would be insect resistant, disease re sistant, and because of their high mineral content would demand premium prices from consumers- West to Lure Tourists A recent survey, conducted by five leading national magazines and other agencies, reveals that the famed attractions of the West will lure one of every five Amer ican vacationers the coming season.
