YOUTH DETENTION HOME UNDER CONSTRUCTION HERE Work on the $30,000 Utah Valley Youth home was underway under-way in Orem this week at the site pi a county-owned gravel pit located west of Beverly Place. Construction is being advanced ad-vanced at this location in spite of the storm of protests raised by residents of the area who have vocally expressed opposition oppos-ition to erecting the home in this area. Earlier in the month a delegation deleg-ation of people living adjacent to the site of the proposed home met with the Utah county commission com-mission in an attempt to persuade per-suade the commission to locate the home elsewhere. The protests pro-tests proved to no avail, however, how-ever, inasmuch as the commission commiss-ion announced that the home would be built at the Orem site. On Monday night Scott Wilk-ins, Wilk-ins, Mrs. Frank Beck, D. Orlo Allen, La Voir Merrill and Frank Chruma, representing residents of the area in which the home is being built, appeared before the Orem City Council with the request that the council join with them in their efforts to have the youth detention home moved elsewhere. Previously Mayor J. W. Gill-man Gill-man had approved the site of the home and in the Monday night meeting he emphasized the fact that the approval was given as an individual and not on behalf of the council. "I have not changed my mind," he said. The council members were in agreement that they had no power or right to decide the quesion of whether the home could be located in Orem. The building permit for the home was issued on Saturday. City Attorney H. Vern Wentz advised the council that the only basis on which the city could legally keep the home from being built in the present location would be for a change to be made in the zoning ordinance. ordin-ance. This action could be made only with the consent of the residents of the area and would take about two months to accomplish, acc-omplish, he said. 20th North to 20th South By O. G. Samil Not that we scare easily, but have you seen those strange looking creatures v which are wandering about' town these days? Some have frightful appearances! ap-pearances! They have the faces of the devil, wicked old men. toothless hags, human skulls and even animals. Surprising how much fun the kiddies have going go-ing around scaring people with these outlandish costumes at Hallowe'en. There'll be quite a gathering of ghosts and goblins at Scera Saturday. The small fry are meeting for their annual Hallowe'en show party and most of them will be in costume. Beauty Treatment If the Orem City Hall seems a bit brighter and shinier these days it's not because you're seeing see-ing the world through rose-colored glasses. It's the new paint job recently authorized by the city council and executed by veteran painter Emil Hansen-All Hansen-All the woodwork has been painted a trim white. The job really looks nice, don't you think? Nslional Flower Week Sunday is the beginning of National Flower Week and local florists are getting ready to receive re-ceive Orem residents who are invited to visit them and inspect their attractive displays. Tony's Floral and Rohbock's Sons' Floral both have beautiful modernistic mod-ernistic buidings to house their retail outlets and they welcome visitors.

Automobile Week Local car dealers this week have been in the spotlight. It's National Automobile Dealers Week. Highlight of the event was the parade of new cars which explored up and down State Street and through the subdivisions today. New Fraz-ers, Fraz-ers, Kaisers and Henry J's from Mr. Merrill, a member of the citizens delegation, stated the position of the group emphatically emphatic-ally when he said, "We approve the home. We want the home. But why locate it adjacent to he largest subdivision in Utah County?" The group stated that originally origin-ally th? purpose of the home had been misrepresented by the county commission and that now the commission is considering consider-ing moving the county infirmary infirm-ary to the same location. The council voted to act as arbiter in the matter should the citizens group arrange for a discussion of the question with the county commission. Councilmen suggested that an attempt be made for the county commission to guarantee that the "objedtionabte" type of youth would not be quartered quarter-ed in the youth home.
