"Within 20 years on the basis of the present population trends Orem City will have a population populat-ion of from 75,000 to - 100,000 people, which may even surpass the popuatlon of Provo," Mayor Loveless told the council. "We must lay our plans how . for the various improvements which will have to be completed to accomodate the influx of population pop-ulation anticipated," he said. Two of the biggest obstacles facing the city are the development develop-ment of more water and sewer improvements. The council Is presently formulating plans for acquiring the entire Alta Springs water and other water sources for culinary water. Also high on the must list for the city 'dads is the installation of an adequate sewage sew-age disposal plant and the installation in-stallation of many sewer lines. Other matters discussed at the council meeting were as follows: Woodruff Jensen of Jensen's subdivision on 8th South Street, appeared before the council urging urg-ing that the city make adequate preparation on 8th South Street before it is improved by the Utah State Road Commission this summer. He suggested that the road be graded, a small hill removed re-moved and sufficient straightening straighten-ing wherever possible. The council coun-cil promised full cooperation in making as many preparations as possible. - ; Two beer parlor owners requested re-quested information as to whether wheth-er existing city ordinances will . allow card playing in their establishments. es-tablishments. City Attorney Hugh Vern Went ruled that there was nothing in. the ordinance to prevent pre-vent card playing as long as gambling was not involved. The city dads took no action on the matter other than to warn the operators that all beer parlors will be closely observed; and if card playing is not on the up and up a city ordinance will be passed pass-ed to make it illegal. Two home builders, Dean Famsworth and Harry Isackson, wfio have purchased land at the intersection of Third North and Fourth West for the purpose of building homes, inquired of the council as to the possibility of extending a nearby sewer line 336 feet. They were informed that the expense involved in the installation install-ation of a four inch line would have to be financed by them. However, the council stated, in the event that a larger sewer line was installed the city would share the expense. Vandalism Plagues Orem's Holiday Celebration Vandalism had its effects upon the succses of the Orem City July 4th celebration.

New York Doctor Addresses County PTA Meeting Dr. Jon Eisenson wsa the speak er at the Wednesday evening meeting of the Utah County Ex ceptional Child organization, sponsored by the PTA. Dr. Eis enson, director of the Speech and Hearing Clinic, Queens Col lege, Flushing, New York, is visiting vis-iting professor of Speech and Hearing for the first term of the summer session at Brigham Young University. I Dr. Eisenson explained that the Exceptional Child is one who is not able to accomplish the things he wants to accomplish by -the means of most children. He has the same desires as other children but needs help and guidance in satisfying these desires. The ex ceptional child must be accepted in society and not rejected because be-cause of his handicap. Because of his limited experiences, exper-iences, the exceptional child's expressions ex-pressions and emotions are usually us-ually immature, and as his ex periences increase he will grow emotionally. Parents should not over-protect these children, but should treat the physically hand! capped child as nearly as possible poss-ible as though he were a normal child. Dr. Eisenson stated that in New York the trend is for the except-onal except-onal child, when possible, to attend at-tend public school along with the normal child and be accepted with his limitations. The Utah County organization comprises a group of parents who are interested in helping exceptional excep-tional children who must have special care children crippled from polio or rheumatic fever, or who have any emotional or physical phys-ical handicap. - . : i A party is being planned for the expecptlonal children in Utah County and the surrounding area and their parents and will be held during August. Mrs. Charles Fechser, Provo, is president of the local group with Mrs. Leon Hansen, Orem, and Dr. Alonzo Morley, Provo, vice presidents; Esther Asay, Grand View, secretary; and Mrs, Lee Rindlisbacher, Payson, treasurer.., treas-urer.., " v.'.

Yield is expected ex-pected to average Vh tons on 8,400 acres for a crop of 12 600 tons, about two-thirds of average. .As yield per acre is about average, aver-age, production decline is due to small acreage, about one-third less than average. Some frost damage occurred in low spots June 25-26. Canning tomatoes and sweet corn are all planted and doing well, although somewhat late. About 7,700 acres of canning tomatoes tom-atoes are planted for 1953, about average. Sweet corn acreage for canning at 6,800 acres planted for 1953 is 75 percent above average acreage of about 3,900 acres for the 1942-51 period. Present hot weather should make corn and tomatoes catch up fast. Sweet cherry harvest is under way now in Davis, Utah and Weber We-ber counties. First car was shipped ship-ped July 2 from Utah County. Tonnage of 1953 crop will be a little under half of average. Sour cherry harvest will start in a week or so with the crop about half of average. Sour cherry harvest will start in a week or so with crop about half o. Average. Av-erage. Apricot harvest would be on now if there were a crop this year but tonnage will be less than one-fifth of average. Wind damage has been a major factor in crop and range growth to date this season. In much of the state, cold dry winds dried out soils and retarded growth from April 1 to early June. Then a sudden sud-den shift to hot dry winds oc curred, which have dried out crop and range lands and caused very heavy drains on irrigation water supplies. Winter wheat crop is burnine in many areas from the hot dry winds and lack of moisture. Range feed situation Is critical in southern Utah. Heavy general rains are needed now in all areas of Utah.
