Throughout the state, flower lovers have come to look to Orem for leadership in the cultivation of prize-winning flower as a result of the reputation earned by members of the garden club. Inaugurated in 1946, shortly after the organization of the Orem Garden Club, the annual flower show- has grown and developed to a degree of excellence never achieved where exhibitors and planners are less enthusiastic. enthus-iastic. f Designed to promote interest in the culture of flowers and the beatification of the community, the flower show has been unusually successful in fulfilling its purpose. pur-pose. Participants in the show are regular winners in state competition, and their improvement of old strains and development of new ones is a real contribution to the flower world. Credit for this year's flower show and the two which have preceded it, is due a large number of men and women whose work and active interest have made it possible. Among those responsible are Lola Fowlke, Milda Patten, Luzon Crosby, Irene Turcsanski, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Shepherd, Whit Watts. Lorna Maycock, Eva Gillespie, Donna York, Delora Fisher, Blanche Snow and Lola Wilberg. Many others are also deserving of praise for their efforts and support, not the least of whom are the florists and commercial gardeners of Orem. Orem, will have visitors Friday and Saturday, brought here by the flower show. Their presence here and the fine show they will see is a tribute to some of our fine citizens who are making Orem, not only a flower center but a cultural center as well. "Drummer Boys THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1943 A GOOD SOCIETY We chanced recently to read some notes on the requis-. ites of a good home. A good home, our critic said, was like a good society, it is not governed by rules and dogmas, but by good will and by facing realities. In it there is no dogma of the VOTERS A ifig and leit me witn jenewed faith to fight, I would not be here writing this column.

In November, 1922, the Upper Basin states entered into an a-greement a-greement with the lower basin states in which they agreed to deliver to the lower basin 7,5000,000 acre feet of water annually for use in the lower basin. Included in the lower basin ba-sin states are California, Nevada, and part of Arizona. An international inter-national agreement was reached which guarantees Mexico 1,000-000 1,000-000 acre feet delivered at the border. When these agreements were made and ratified, the way was cleared for the building of Boulder Dam. The division as approved by the Commission must now go before each of the state legislatures legislat-ures for rat'fication before it becomes be-comes final. When ratified and approved, the way will be opened open-ed for full utilization of the headwaters of the Colorado. I 1 I I I 1 1 I basic equality of all persons. Actual inequalities are recognized, but mutual regard strives for the welfare of every member. There is no theoretical assumption of the right of every individual to participate in shaping shap-ing decisions which affect him. Infants do not share in family budget-making. Yet all existing capacity to participate par-ticipate is Encouraged. Superior capacity is usedto help and protect, not to exploit, and advantages are not held by arbitrary power or authority. The only equality in such a home is of good will and desire for the family welfare. After we read the notes it occurred to us that if a good home is like a good society, then conversely the good society could be established by following the same rules. Read the notes again, and substitute society for home. Does it make sense? -rTSwnp-wT if ? " Til ii n ftvwv -r v WL'JT jf are, tjf .

In the first place my beloved old typewriter has been overhauled and perks along practically as good as new. While having it overhauled, I caught up on some reading. I was thinking books and friends are much alike, a good book or a good friend may be judged by the need you have for them. I've been reading a rounded out courrse at the present pres-ent time. My Doctor loaned me "Psychosomatic ' Medicine, by Wess and English, durn heavy reading, but it does shake some of the kinks out of the mind. Yet I do not wonder at psyuniat-ry psyuniat-ry failing when spirituality succeeds suc-ceeds it's so easy for me to understand. un-derstand. Then I read "The Razor's Edge", and at first I wondered why it waas a $50,000 prize novel. But when an author takes his hero upon a jaunt a-round a-round the world to find God, and the hero finds God in his own way, I call that great writing writ-ing because each of us is here for nothing more than to find God in some degree or manner. Some of us have terrible illness others have reverses, bt all troubles are so great we could not bear them if we couldn't find God. I recommend The Razor's Edge.
