Member Utah State Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rates: One year, In advance 3.00 WANTED: SHOPPING CENTER SOON It appears as though the movement to establish an Orem Shopping Center has bogged down, but we predict only temporarily! When the right combination of financing and property prop-erty leases is obtained, coupled with a green light from the City Planning Commission and the City Council, we are confident that the center will be here to stay. During the early stages of the Orem shopping center cen-ter fervor this year, it appeared as though two or three rival factions were battling for shopping center sites, and we're not too sure but what the skirmish will continue. con-tinue. This sparring for shopping center sites is a healthy thing in our estimation. We think so, because it provides an opportunity for the Planning Commission, City Council, Coun-cil, Orem Chamber of Commerce, and even the public to better examine the advantages and disadvantages of each site in regards to its location. The location of a shopping center is important ! We , contend that the center ought to be adjacent to State Street or Highway 91, or that the approach to the center be but a short distance from State Street. It's surprising, surpris-ing, but true, how many more consumers will be attracted to a shopping center when it can be viewed from a main traffic artery. Are we big enough for a shopping center? This question continually poses no little consternation. But in our thinking we contend, as we have before, that if a distinctive business center is established in the right location lo-cation with ample free parking facilities, patrons can and will be attracted from all over the valley. They will attracted not only by the necessity for shopping but for the adventure of convenient shopping. We further believe be-lieve that shopping in such a distinctive center will be a frequent affair for valley shoppers. While we are in the planning stage we can not help but nominate our choice of sites for a central shopping district. It's only a dream, but what a dream ! This magic site is none other than the 40 alcre City Hall-City Park area. We like it because it abutts the highway. We like it because it is situated in the center of town and we like it because it's big enough and there is only one property owner to deal with ! The 40-acre city hall tract was purchased years ago at a time when property was a real bargain. If it were sold now it would bring a handsome figure. TJie city would have to find a new park site and perhaps city hall site as well, but Orem City will some day be forced to build a new city hall we forecast within three to five years. As to the parks, we believe that our city would be more beautiful if the parks were adjacent to the highway rather than hidden behind a fire station and a remodeled house that serves as a city hall. The present developed city park area now bordering the highway is a top scenic attraction. This area should, of course, be retained. However, we recognize that the city park tract has all been planned for future development. But we still like to visualize . possibilities and potentialities. Sometimes seemingly" ;remote ideas prove more potent and fruitful than the more plausible inspirations. ; ' In our opinion much orderly progress i3 thwarted throughout cities, towns and villages in this country of ours because price tags for property are out of reach and frequently expanded beyond their worth. We sincerely hope ;that the opportunity for a first class shopping center in Orem will not be terminated due to real estate prices which may be skyrocketed out of reason. To the property, owners in Orera who may be involved in the shopping center development we say be realistic, be fair, and remember that there should be some obligation to your, neighbors and fellow-citizens for the orderly and best growth of Orem.

NED YORK VISIT IN OREM Mr and Mrs. Ned York, of San Jose, California, arrived in Orem Monday to spend two weeks visiting vis-iting with Ned's parents, Mr and Mrs John W. York. Ned, a graduate gradu-ate of Lincoln High School, was recently released from the armed services after serving two years at Fort Ord, Calif. He is now employed in San Jose. Waslimqtoti Sxclusioel Time to Think Straight Whether it was the purpose of Uncle Sam or more specifically, Val Peterson, to scare us out of our indifference to Civil Defense, or reassure us out of a fatalistic attitude that there is no defense against nuclear attack, we shall probably nevtr know. But, after nine postponements, and with the "gallery" reduced from 9,000 to about 5,000, Survival Town in Yucca Flat Nev., was finally clob bered by an atomic bomb of about twice the force of that dropped on Hiroshima. No doubt the experts are still evaluating what happened. But movie cameras housed in concrete bunkers close to ground zero have shown us houses being blown to bits and the air filled with debris. deb-ris. We have been told that fro zen foods withstood radiation ef fects, but that every mannequin above ground within three miles of the blast was considered "kil led" or "seriously injured". We don t know how many were tagged tag-ged as radiation victims. But whatever has been learned, or will be adduced to add to the ghastly fleshand-tlood statistics from Japan, we are prepared to accept the word of a Civil Defense De-fense spokesman that the only es-cap es-cap from such a blast is to "get away or dig in." We do not agree that any vast number of city dwellers would have the opportunity oppor-tunity of doing either. Civil Defense remains, therefore, there-fore, the prime responsibility of our military planners, just as it always has. And there is a way, we believe, by which our tacticians tacti-cians if they act soon enough-can enough-can remove the cities of the world from the category of bomb targets. The "strategic plan by which this may be accomplished is the brain-child of Col. Richard S. Leghorn, U S. Air Force Re-serve, Re-serve, and appeared recently in PAQDON, f.!Y EDROR!

Basically the Leghorn plan presents a method of restricting1 the use of nuclear weapons to military targets exclusively. ex-clusively.
