Don't Burn Leaves; But Make Composts Home gardeners shouldn't burn leaves this fall. They should make a compost pile out of them, advises Clair R. Acord, Utah County Agricultural Agent. Composts can be made of leaves and any other type of organic or-ganic matter available around the home. Mr. Acord says gardeners should apply to each 100 pounds dry plant material a mixture of three pounds of ammonium sulfate sul-fate and one pound superphos-hate. superphos-hate. The mixture should be applied ap-plied as follows: Place the organic materials in layers - four to six inches thick. Srinkle the mixture of ammonium sulphate and superphosphate sup-erphosphate on each layer and cover with about one inch of soil. The layer should be wet down and kept continuously moist Layers can be added until un-til the pile is four to six feet deep. Composts reguire from a few months to a year to decay anought to use. Composts made now will likely be decayed and ready to use next spring. A few weeks before the material is to be applied to the soil, the pile should be mixed.

IKE BANDWAGON PARADES IN OREM With a chant of "Ike, Ike, We Like IKE!" the Eisenhower Bandwagon rolled into Orem Wednesday at 11:15 a. m. for a half-hour visit. While officials, candidates and spectators literally "climbed aboard" the Bandwagon, the Eisenhower program was praised for its accomplishments of "Peace, Prosperity and Pro gress." It was the fourth stop in a day-long, county-wide tour of the unit, which is reportedly the largest and most colorful political caravan in the nation. Lovely Utah County girls, dressed In white dresses and narasols carrying the word "IKE" in bold letters, passed out campaign buttons and leaflets leaf-lets among the crowd, and in local business houses. Sponsored nationally by the non-partisan "Citizens for Eisenhower Eis-enhower Committee, the caravan cara-van was aimed at encouraging the votes of Democrats Independent Indep-endent voters and Republicans, for the President's re-election. Among those accompanying the tour were Senator Wallace F. Bennett, Representative William Will-iam A. Dawson and George D. Clyde, Republican candidate for governor. Highlights of the Utah County tour were a parade in Provo at 12:30 p. m. and a political rally ral-ly in the evening behind the County building in Provo. The Bandwagon included a large white semi-trailer, mnch wagon and jeep, all decorated with the "IKE" theme. Music over the public address system featured the campaign song, "We Love the Sunshine of Your Smile," and the new "Dwright D. Eisenhower March." A motorcade of half a dozen carried the candidates and officials of-ficials touring with the unit, whose apperance in Utah County was chairmaned by Ford R. Paulson, young Provo attorney. The Bandwagon participated Monday in the visit to Salt Lake City by Vice President Richard M. Nixon before touring other parts of Utah. traffic, construction equipment , and excavation, etc. Even the low speed limit of 20 mph may I be too fast and the drivers i should eceroise special aut- i tion and keep their' speed at a i minimum in order to avoid emergencies which might arise in the absence of this special caution. (2) Because of many of these special conditions it is concluded that law enforcement offices and citizens alike have a special spe-cial duty to work toward prevention pre-vention of such acts as "digging", "dig-ging", exhibition of speed or power, "squealing" of tires by excessive acceleration, cutting traffic, excessive number of passengers, hanging on the side or fender of a car, persons other than the driver steering the car or controlling the brakes or acceration, deliberately or uiineccessarily skidding to stop, excessive speed in turns, following follow-ing too close, playing tag in cars, conversations b e tween passengers of moving cars, rid STEEL m-er U.S. STEEL TO CONTINUE USING PROVO DATELINE FOR GENEVA WORKS' NEWS RELEASES, JOINT RESOLUTION STUDIED The practice of using a Provo dateline on news releases pertaining per-taining to the Geneva Works will be continued according to Alvin Krieg, director of public relations for Columbia-Geneva Steel Division of U. S. Steel. Recently the Orem Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club of Orem submitted a joint resolution requesting the director dir-ector to recogonize Orem as the nearest and largest city to the Geneva Works and to employ an Orem dateline on all publicity originating from the Geneva Works. In response to the resolution the director of public relations sent the following letter to the Orem-Geneva Times outlining the policies and views of U. S. Steel: Dear Sirs: This will acknowledge the joiint resolution of the Orem Chamber of Commerce and the Kiwanis Club of Orem relative to designation of the city of Orem as the point of orgin for news releases concerning Geneva Gen-eva Works. ' . We of U. S. Steel and our operating divisions here recognize recog-nize the spirit in which this is offered. Naturally we appreciate appreci-ate the interest shown by our friends in Orem and are glad that the good folks of Orem desires de-sires to include us as members of the family. Because we're neighbors we're keenly interested interes-ted in Orem and share your pride in the fine growth of your community.

Mr. Gammon has been a member mem-ber of the Orem Jaycees for four years and in 1954 was awarded the Distinguished Service Ser-vice Award.

Many of these matters are pe-cif pe-cif ically identified as violations under the laws and ordinances of our area, but many of them are grouped under the prohibition prohibi-tion against failure to keep a proper lookout or driving without with-out the caution required by law under the specific conditions which exist around our schools. (3). Because of the fact that police cannot be everywhere at once it is especially important for citizens to realize that they have an important duty in law enforcement. This information can then be given to the police department or the Juvenile court by telephone tele-phone or letter and the follow up will be made in the case of all juveniles. No signed complaint com-plaint is required for the processing pro-cessing of juveniles.

Actually, we consider ourselves as part of the entire Utah community. There are many good reasons why we have used the Provo designation in the past, and those reasons contribute to the long identification of Provo as the steel center of the west. It might be interesting to enumerate some of these reasons. rea-sons.

The majority maj-ority of our employees reside In Provo although of course we recognize that many others reside re-side in Orem, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Springville, and other communities of the area. Provo is the county seat Corporation Cor-poration documents are recorded record-ed there and our taxes paid there. The telephone exchange for Utah County is located in Provo, and our Geneva Work's telephone numbers are on this exchange. . iAb I mentioned, we appreci ate very much the close re la tionship that exists between our plant and the two Orem organ!- zaions which participated in this resolution. We value to an equal degree the fine spirit of cooperation that has been shown us over a long period of years by the chamber of commerce, service clubs and other organizations organi-zations in Provo and In the other communities of Utah County. We would not want to contribute con-tribute to any confusion by changing our practice of date lines on news releases covering developments at Geneva Works. On the other hand, we might be helpful in attaching attention to Orem by references in our news stories, when appropriate, to the adjacency of Geneva Works to Orem. Thank you again for your interest, in-terest, and I trust you will appreciate ap-preciate our thinking in this entire en-tire matter.

Teachers and students and nearby near-by resident are urged to be part of the enforcement team so that tragedy can be avoided. The conditions around the new Orem High school are especially es-pecially hazardous because of the absence of sidewalks and the necessity for students to walk on the streets. Under these conditions, drivers must realize that they will not have a defense de-fense to a charge of excessive speed by simply stating that they were not going over 20 MPH becaue the conditions at the time may make it neces-ssary neces-ssary to drive only 5-10 miles per hour.

The psychological ef-: feet is the most important result re-sult of its use, he said, which may be lost if it is used to a great extent. Cooperation from the people is what we really need most of all, he reported. Some of the problems would be the need for licensing thru Federal Fed-eral Communications, . keeping a log from hour to hour, and the fact that it takes at least three men to run the equipment when set up. , A solution he suggested was to use the unit belonging to Utah County for spot checking check-ing In rirom TTe mentioned that his personal opinion was that radar wouldn't he the solution to Orem's problems, but stated he would cooperate with the council in whatever was felt best. It was decided to talk to the sheriff before making a final decision. Other business was consideration consider-ation of the bids for a new k ton plumber body truck for the water department.
