SALT LAIC CI??, UTAH OREM IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY IN STREETS We keep getting complaints from motorists about residents of Orem letting their children use the streets for a play ground. The complaints come mainly from the areas where subdivisions exist. It is a prob lem tine residents of Orem seek a solution for, If we are to prevent accidents that are bound to occur if this practice is not stopped by parents of the children. Orem City can pass an ordinance making it unlawful for children to play in the streets. The parents and the children could then . be ticketed, just like a speeding motorist. If the practice continues con-tinues Orem City will be forced to pass: such an ordinance. This however can be avoided if parents par-ents will cooperate, and insist their children play somewhere but in the middle of the street. WARNING GIVEN We recently heard of a mother mo-ther becoming very upset, because be-cause the police called on her and informed her that their daughter had been reported as driving recklessly on one of Orem's streets. The police were merely trying to prevent having to call and tell her that the daugther had run over a child. We still say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure especially when human lives are in danger.

It has been reported that seven out of nine horses died after contacting this virus. The disease is carried by mosquitoes. mo-squitoes. If the mosquito bites a horse, with the disease, then bites' a human, the human can get the sleeping sickness which in many cases has proven prov-en fatal.

Mil PRICE: TEN CENTS ion FIRST MAJOR PROJECT TO BE mmw F001 Plans for a proposed million dollar Scera Park and Recreation Recrea-tion Center to be located on a 20-aere plot, one-half block north of the Scera Theatre, was announced today by M. Dover Hunt, Scera manager. The announcement came an a kick-off to the Scera Silver Anniversary Week starting next Monday. j The ambitious park and re-icreational re-icreational development will be ,a long-range project involving 'several years. However, tena-jtive tena-jtive plans' call for the erection ,of a new swimming pool next year and some changes in the Scera Parking Lot beginning this' fall. Other future plans Include a bowling alley, children's play ground area, picnicking areas, refreshment stand, Softball field, outdoor dance hall and roller skating rink, possibly a community center for civic clubs and other public functions. func-tions. The 20 acre site has about 600 frontage on Fourth East and approximately 500 foot frontage on Highway 91. Since the indebtedness of the Scera Theatre and the renovation renova-tion of the swimming pool has been cleared, the Scera organi zation has saved nearly $90,000 from proceeds derived from theatre and swimming pool operations. This amount will pay for the major portion of the purchase price of the park site. In order to obtain sufficient funds for the erection of a possible pos-sible year-around swimming pool, Scera officers are studying study-ing the possibility of floating a public bond issue, which will make purchase of bonds available avail-able to the people of the area. The financing for the Scera Theatre compeletd in 1941 was also accomplished through this method. The present Scera Swimming Pool was erected in 1936, but it has proved to be inadequate the last few years because of its size. Actually the expanding recreation program more than taxes the use of the pool. Also during public swimming hours, older youth and adults find that there is insufficient room in the pool due to the great number of children utilizing the pool. Scera officials serving on the Future Development Committee Com-mittee include LeGrand Jar-man, Jar-man, chairman; Woodruff Jen sen, DeLance Squire and M. Dover Hunt. The Scera organization (Sha- and Recreational Association) has grown prodigiously since it was organized in 1933. Unique in the nation, the Scera organization continues to bea marvel to recreational leaders. Laying the groundwork for this cooperative movement were the following members of the first Scera Board of Directors'. They were S. H. Blake, president; Victor C. Anderson, An-derson, Arthur V. Watkins, Raymond Partridge, Spencer Madsen, Henry u. 'layior, Sharp Gillespie and Charles H. Davies.
