More children are lost by drowning in Utah than in any other state in the nation is the claim put forth recently by a local doctor. To this we add the Orem con tribution, six drownings m four years. The big question in Orem is, will we follow the usual pattern of forgetting about the hazards of our open ditches until the next child is drown: Our city is in that in-between stage. Between a gradual gra-dual decline in agriculture and a mounting increase in residential population. Until the fruit growing industry in this area diminishes there will have to be irrigation waten It would cost perhaps nearly two million dollars to have all of the irrigation ditches in Orem covered or fenced. This cost would be prohibitive with the present resources of the city. Whose responsibility i3 it to provide protection from the hazards of open waterways. Firstly parents owe it to themselves to do more than just warn their children. Some parents allow their children to play for hours at a time without checking on them. Strict dicipline and punishment should be awarded to children who disobey parental orders or playing near ditches. But there will still be some drownings despite all that parents can do, this we have to conceed. In our study of the problem it appears to us that the cost of covering ditches is not the obligation of the water users nor can the subdividers of a subdivision bear all of this cost and pass it on to the home buyers. Our City Safety Council and our city fathers are greatly concerned over the problem and are exploring every means of determining what can be done to reduce the drowning hazard In Orem. We commend them for this and hope that the people of Orem will aid them with their support. If we do we will save lives. The only answer to this problem as we see it is for the city to raise a one mill or more levy through luxation luxa-tion and commence a long range program of covering or fencing the dangerous waterways in Orem. Through the city's connection our city officials may be able to purchase pur-chase fencing and types of coverings at reduced costs through government surpluses and volume buying. We understand that the city is concerned over the legality of ditch covering and possibly the financing of the same. Maybe the answer to this whole problem, and we think it is a good one, would be to place the proposition proposi-tion of covering or fencing waterways through taxation on the ballot in the city election this fall. From where we sit it is just as important to provide this protection than it is to provide water and sewer lines for the benefit of our citizenry. Our health is important, im-portant, but life should come first.

University Ave.: MOVING AND STORAGE CO. PROVO, UTAH WHY SO IMPORTANT May7, 1959 and column 36. Have been watching the has sle about dancing and drinking beer In the same room and un der the same roof. Personally I can't for the life of me see why it is all so Important. If people want to dance while drunk, what's to hinder? I mean, it would be messy, but today's dancing is messy anyhow. It would be safer to drink beer and dance than to drink beer and drive, I should think Would be better not to drink, of course. I just throw that in as a brand new thought. Being better not to drink won't change the statistics, however. As for keeping the surround ings pure for the BYU students this is rather a case of putting the cart before the horse or having the tall wag the dog or some one of those tried and true old sayings that no one says anymore. There are so many students and they so take over the valley that what is needed is protection from them for the citizens who like peace and quiet and who re sent having paths beaten ac ross their lawns. I will not mention the number of beer cans, whiskey and wine bok-tles bok-tles I pick out of the chaparral chapar-ral that screens our domicile, The Last Resort, but it is no small harvest and we don't live within miles of tavern with or without danclntj. INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY RESPONSIBI-LITY If a student of college age is so delicate that he cannot bear the thought that there are people in the world and multitudes of them who drink beer, it Is about time some one explained it to him and made it plain that the only dan jer of contamination is In a lack of self control. That is for the individual to cope with, not his neighbors. Some things people have to do for themselves. them-selves. Stay away from beer halls Is one of them if that is what they want. If everyone every-one stayed away there would be no beer halls. It is just as simple as that. Whether you go or stay is up to the Individual. But why does dancing danc-ing so complicate the picture? I'm waiting with great eagerness eager-ness to see WHAT NEXT. As long as people are people . . . You know, with all this radiation and talk of mutation it just well may be that people won't be very long but to get on, as long as people are people peo-ple and have tendency to get together and try, TRY to drown theirsorrows or do any-think any-think to keep from thinking about tomorrow, and tomorrow just so long there will be beer halls. Who cares whether they dance or not? A good many people, evidently. Ah, well. Maybe I best forget the whole thing since I was never in a beer hall to my knowledge and it seems unlikely that I evei will be. But if I ever do and feel like dancing Oh, I don't know. I hear my brother De had a letter to the editor in Time magazine last issue. I hear, too, that it was quite a letter. Naturally Na-turally I can't get my hands on that issue. Took the magazine maga-zine for years and nothing. Now my brother starts writing letters to the editor. Will have to dig one up somewhere. My grandson is here. I have seen him twice. Pretty good for me the way things are going. go-ing. This has been a hectic week and I sometimes wonder how the really busy people of this world can bear the pace.
