Show OREM Things are awful at our house. I have a fight with my husband every .month." "Same way at our house except ex-cept that my husband gets paid every week." POSTOFFICE PARKING Getting a place to park near the Orem postoffice is almost impossible. With the new bank on one side and a cafe on the south leaves spaces for about 4 cars to park legally, without walking nearly a block to the postoffice from your car. This is another case of Orem suf fering from growing pains. As a means of helping the sit uation, we suggest that the de posit box be moved from the front door of the post office, sit could be placed across the street, or south by the new Re gional Welfare building where there is more room and not so much limited space for legal parking. We are sure people who want to deposit from their cars will not object to this box being moved. It would not take the postoffice employees five minutes longer to gather up the mail, where it would save John Fublie who pays the lb ill hours of time. We do not predict this will solve the problem altogether, but it would be an improvement. improve-ment. JUST HOW GOOD IS "MAGIC IN MERO" From critics prominent in drama and music circles in Cen. tral Utah, who have read the script and heard the music to the promising Flora-Festival production of "Magic In Mero," we have jotted down their appraisals. ap-praisals. Their descriptions runs something like this: "Lines are cute and clever." "The music is delightful and completely original." or-iginal." "Orem, at last, has an original production with a local lo-cal cast." "This music dramatization drama-tization has all the earmarks of approaching a Broadway musical musi-cal hit." "The producers are constantly con-stantly capitalizing on new and refreshing twists to add to the production." We might add that from where we sit the production looks like it is a natural for a sparkling entertainment that can be appreciated by the average aver-age man on the street as well as the long hairs! We say this because the production has "it." That is, it has lively drama, scinilating dances, clever comedy, com-edy, refreshing romance, buoyant buoy-ant songs, and a surprise ending end-ing that lives long after the per. formance. INTERESTING SURVEY Since Orem has ' begun to crackdown on traffic violators, we have asked questions and observed that very seldom do we ever see a state patrolman, or a local policeman writing a ticket to a bus or these big simi-trucks or gasoline tankers. Why, we do not know, the city judges records show very few if any of these big outfits ever being issued a ticket. In a conversation con-versation with the state safety engineer he agreed he had witnessed wit-nessed very few of these outfits receiving tickets. We admit these big companys have expert drivers, but a 40 mile sign should read the same to everyone, and if the patrol man maintain they do not break the speed limits going through urem men we suggest mav ue get his head out of the sand, as far as these drivers are concerned. con-cerned. In talking to one officer who had never issued a ticket to one of these outfits in six years on police duty, he maintained they had rigid schedules to make, We still say a 40 mile speed sign should read the same to any motorist. ADULTS, NOT YOUTH BREAK SPEED LAWS HERE Orem Police Department this week completed a traffic survey sur-vey of motorists violating the speed limit. The survey was taken before and after school for five days on 4th East between be-tween 8th South and 8th North with the new electric timer acquired ac-quired recently by the department. depart-ment. Here are the results. One out of every 11 tickets issued for speeding during the five days was issued to juvenile drivers. This appears to refute many complaints received by officers that juveniles are Jhe principal speeding offenders. Police Chief Burpener also reports that last month 182 tickets were issued to adults and only 11 to juveniles." juv-eniles." This trend seems to continue con-tinue month after month " he stated.
