SALT LAIC CITC, UTAH OREM HILL FIELD BIG BUSINESS Recently yours truly spent an enjoyable day at Hill Field with some of the top TV, Radio and newsmen of the Northern part of Utah. During the day we visited the huge air depot and we were the guests of the air force for a luncheon. During our stay at the base we witnessed wit-nessed the "Voodo 101"' take off and from what we could glean this is probably the fastest plane in the world. We were told that the 'Delta Dagger 102' broke the worlds record and this plane was still faster so you can form your own opinion. Here are a few facts we obtained ob-tained as a result of our visit. The Hill Air Force base has 246 million dollars in reserve to operate on. All the banks of Utah combined has 172 million. The base serves eight west-cm west-cm states, Canada and Alaska. All the population of Utah could get in the warehouses at Hill Field and the doors could still be closed. The missle program in 1955 at the base employed 55, by 1961 at least 2741 will be working on the missle program at this one base. The maintenance Department at the base has 45 acres under roof, as a comparison, Geneva Steel is reported to have about 12 acres under roof. The skills that are most needed are. Electrical, engineering, engi-neering, Instruments. Etc. Fixed assets of current prices would cost approximately $130,-000,000. $130,-000,000. More than &00 buildings and structures. 88 miles of paved roads. 70 miles of railroad. 22,000 feet of runway. 83 warehouses; area 3,423,000 square feet. Directly or indirectly: 21,750 additional jobs paying $73,000,-000 $73,000,-000 per year. Need for 14,000 more houses or apartments. Demand for 13,400 more auto-biles. auto-biles. Employee 11,300 civilian employees em-ployees and lfiOO military personnel. per-sonnel. Pay annually in wages and salaries $60,000,000, about $230,-000 $230,-000 per day. One could not help but feel after a tour such as we had that our country could not be too far behind Russia. We were impressed im-pressed by the personnel that are in charge. Men with character, charac-ter, intelligence and efficiency marked all over their faces. NIGHT RIDE REVEALS WE STILL HAVE DEER Recently we took a night ride with Art Henderson, (former Orem Police) now a state game warden in this area. We left about 9 p. m. at night and traveled trav-eled north of Pleasant Grove where the canal crosses the Highway, we followed along the banks of the canal in the car. Mr. Henderson had a huge spotlight spot-light which he kept working in the orchards and fields. In about an hour we located between be-tween 50 to 60 deer, enjoying the food in the orchards. Art said they had not really started to come down as yet. As the winter progresses and the snow gets deeper, more will come down to eat. We ended up in the orchard below the Battle Creek Subdivision (directly east of P. G.) were we counted about 30 deer either eating or laying down. We would suggest that the hunters who were screaming "no deer' in this area take this jaunt, contact Mr. Henderson, he would be glad to show you where to go. Mr. Henderson stated the game department is experimenting experi-menting with a repellent that is sprayed on the orchards, if this works and he said all signs indicate in-dicate it is going to, that the problem of keeping the orchards free of deer will be over. CURTICE LEAVES UTAH It looks from the surface that Wiley " Jack Curtice moved to Stanford to prevent the humiliation hu-miliation of defeat by the BYU, on the gridiiron. This is bound to take place either this year or next. Now the Utah boys are dickering with Talley Stevens Stev-ens one of the Y coaches to replace re-place Curtice. Nothing like playing it safe. Of course we point this out in a jesting way, but we can't help but feel Talley Stevens will end up in the U camp, one way or another. New Subscribers Bless 'Em Lloyd Charlie Andersen, Orem Orlo K.
