State Planning Board ronrern- , ng the interchanges on the proposed new freeway, Orem -'Ity Council is convinced that ;! 3rem will benefit from the ; "reeway as it is' now planned, j iccording to Mayor V. Emil 1 Hansen. - The Council originally op- . 1 xsed the "half-diamond" in :1 terchanges, terming them "in adequate" and stating that 'full-diamond" structures were needed to allow easier entrance to or exit from the road. They were, however, assured at the meeting that property is being acquired . to install "full-dia monds" at Center Street and at 800 North when and if traffic traf-fic shows the need. In the meantime, there will be "full-diamonds" "full-diamonds" installed at 1600 North and at an access road in south Orem approximately between be-tween 1200 and 1500 South. City Council Satisfied With Present Plans for Proposed New Freeway After meeting with the Utah, The council was considering a at great length the revised traffic traf-fic ordinance, revising the rec ommendation that the speed on 800 South should be 30 miles an hour from the east to the west city limits, and voting instead for 40 miles an hour on the lower west portion. The members feel that along the heavily populated areas, 30 miles an hour is not too low a speed limit, but that from 800 West down to the Geneva Road (Highway 114), 40 miles an hour is a more realistic speed. Police Chief Reed Bur- gener agreed with the Coun cil that the speed of 25 miles an hour on side roads is a good speed, pointed out that in subdivisions, people are requesting re-questing a 15-mile-an-hour speed limit.

At City Council meeting Monday, City Manager O. V. Farnsworth read a letter from the Public Service Commis sion, approving the crossing of the railroad on Center Street at 100 West, thus removing the last obstacle in the project of opening up Center Street weit of U.S. Highway 91. Mr. Farnsworth is hoping to have the street ready for use late this fall. As soon as the road work for the crossing has been completed and the re quired reflector signs' installed, instal-led, the street will be opened for 'limited traffic' After some light poles are moved near the Highway 91 entrance and a number of small projects are completed, the street will be surfaced for use, said Mr. Farnsworth. Council mmbers reported at the meeting that a number of citizens have complained that inadequate lighting on High way 91 is creating a safety hazard due to the danger of not seeing the channeling now being constructed down the highway. The city manager promised to make an Invest igation and report to the council coun-cil the approximate cost of installing and maintaining sodium so-dium lights. The Utah State Road Commission will furnish the lights and matrial but will not install or maintain them, he council was considering a light at each channel opening, open-ing, except those where sem aphores are now installed.

But although the boy is technically tech-nically free, psychiatrists are still conducting tests to deter mine whether he may have had anything to do with the knife slaying of his parents', Dr. and Mrs. Melvin A. Nimer, who were stabbed early on the morning of Sept. 2 in their Staten Island, N. Y., home. Children's Court Justice Charles Char-les E. Ramsgate Monday ruled in favor of a request from the district attorney's office that some time be given for completion com-pletion of the psychiatric tests, expected in about three weeks, and Steinberg said that he would make no move to have the boy released from Bellevue until the tests are completed. Steinberg insisted in court that Dean is innocent of any i wrong-doing in spite of police ,. reports that the boy three times made statements that he killed his parens. j Steinberg said that ' if the boy is found to be sane, he intends to rturn him to his family in Utah, but if an ad verse report on Dean's mentality men-tality is turned in, the "finest psychiatrists" wiHl be called in to examine him.

Football needs a shot in the arm at Orem High School . Before the gridiron sport can attain its rightful stature at Orem High School two things are certain adequate field facilities and support from our townspeople towns-people must be provided. For the past two years the Tiger grid team has been without a playing field of their own since the new high school turf was not ready until this fall. Friday the Orem gridders will use their new field for the first time, but the facilities have been slow coming. Since the Alpine School District has a five mill ion dollar building program that calls for construction of three new' high school buildings, the financial burden of providing field facilities at Tigerville has been placed on the shoulders of Orem High. Right at the moment it appears doubtful that the erection of 1000 permanent bleachers will be completed complet-ed in time for the Payson game here Friday. These bleachers were promised for delivery and installation by Sept. 1. Cost of the bleachers installed will be $4000, which will be paid by the high school from their past accumulative receipts of school athletic events. Orem high has had tough luck in getting their field facilities ready even though this is the start of the third year for the new campus. . The grass turf itself got off to a bad start when ground 'crews failed to utilize top soil that was set aside for the field prior to planting. Although the grass looks promising now, the Tiger gridders will only be able to use the turf for their games. If the team practiced on the field daily the rocks underneath under-neath the grass would soon be exposed. Since there is no place on the campus for the team to use for practice at present, the Tigers will have to continue to work out on one of the Orem City Park fields. We understand, however, that grass seeded practice fields will be provided for at Orem High within the next year or two. The goal posts for the field were not installed until this week. Also more fencing is critically needed need-ed before the football field can be completely enclosed, which will be necessary if the school expects to collect admissions to the games. Principal L. B. Bennett in commenting on the football plight states that the school is making the best of the situation despite the fact that "even our best laid plans have been falling short." Things are shaping up, however, and some top football games will be plaved at Orem Hitrh this fall. The Tigers appear to have one of their best grid aggregations ag-gregations in a decade. They are worthy of community com-munity support. We urge townspeople to get behind the team and attend the games. It is high time that Orem residents cease from using the community only for a bedroom and church attendance. It is embarassing to Orem High School studentbody to host other school athletic teams here when only a handful of adults are in attendance. at-tendance. This is surely not the case in the other nearby communities, this we know. We are told that some years the high school football receipts from paid auimaaiuu ior me wnoie season would only total $300 Plans for the Annual Finance Drivo of the S'uaw Peak Dis trict of the Utah National Parks Council,' Boy Scouts of America were announced this week by Leon Frazier, Finance Committee chairman. The General Campaign will begin Monday, September 29, 1958 with an objective of $6,500.00 according to Mr. Frazier. Since the entire National Parks Council budget is $79,-850.00 $79,-850.00 the program is being de livered by the local Council at a rate that is less per capila, per member or per Unit than any other Council in the Western Wes-tern States, including the Coun cil in Utah, Mr. Frazier said. "If our boys are to be givea the advantages of wholesome development in fields of service ser-vice and survival, to self and others as well as to. the community, com-munity, then we must provide more opportunities than ever before," said Mr. Frazier. The finance chairman als pointed out that the budget It now enjoying the Scout Program, Pro-gram, but for numerous boyt in Orem who are not yet ia the program.

To help stimulate the football spirit in Orem maybe may-be a downtown coaches club ought to be formed. It might be a good idea for the school to sponsor a Thursday Thurs-day parade featuring the football team, the Tiger-ettes, Tiger-ettes, and the strutting Orem High Band, and following follow-ing it up with a pep rally in front of the City Hall or bcera Theatre. This might be a good project for the Orem High Key Club or one of the other school clubs. In the meantime the school should make every effort to complete the facilities on the playing field. Another 1000 bleachers ought to be ordered now and installed early next year. The present bleachers alone are only sufficient for the seating of the studentbody. We are sure that school officials realize that adequate seating facilities have got to be available if they ever expect to attract more than 50 adult fans to a given game. Our school board should not drag their feet on this project either. Lets put football on the map in Orem for the q nn6, ?Ge y0U at the game Fridav- (Gam time is d:00 p.m.).
