Semit Salt Lake markets reported the first arrival of Orem strawberries straw-berries Wednesday, with prices wholesale ranging from 2.75 to 3.25 per case. The quotation said that retail prices had not been established but that some were going at 29 cents per cup. The report also indicated that crop prospects were "not too bright. Advertisement for bids for the construction of the new elementary elem-entary school here appears in this week's paper. Bids are to be opened June 23 at 7:30 p.m. and construction work will begin be-gin very soon thereafter. Supt. Mitchell says that the building will cost approximately $J300, 000 and that it is expected to be "covered" by the time bad wheather sets in next fall. This column is against the name "Geneva" for the school. We'd rather reserve that name for the community. Isn't there someone a real pioneer for this area for whom the school could be named? Let's have some nominations. Mayor Gillman reports that whether or not the city can .complete the anticipated curb and gutter project may depend upon the tax assessments levied against Highway 91 property. The council's prompt action in meeting with the county ,conv mission and the tax people in getting a re-study of the prop erty valuation along the high way, may mean the difference between a successful curb-and gutter program and failure to get the project under way. The mayor reports that the highway commission expects to advertise for bids on the paving of U. S. 91 within 10 days. Mount-A-Lake's new service station is now open and ready for business. The retail outlet has been moved from the service serv-ice station across from Scera to the front of the main Mount-A-Lake building. Wayne Carter is in charge. The station is being operated by Bruce Bliss. The recent rains have relieved what the coutity agricultural a-gent a-gent considered one of the most critical times in over a decade for root and field crops in the area. The showers lately may save a portion of the dry wheat crop. Without the rains there probably would have been no crop at all. W, K. Todd reports that he has sold his trailer camp and home on 16th North and State. The Todds will go back to Nebraska Neb-raska for a visit, then come west again, probably to reside in Nevada. The high altitude does not agree with Mrs- Todd. Rumor has it that the Dur- hams are planning to sell the Chief Timp Motel. But they won't be leaving Orem. They like it here.
