Show New Opportunities for Growth and Service Seen As Orem Ushers in New Year of More 'Happenings' STRICTLY BUSINESS by McFsatters AS GRANDFATHER 1968 shuffles off the stage of history and Baby 1969 is ushered in, Orem residents can gather strength from the past and hope for the future to cope with the problems that lie ahead. On the world scene there would appear to be no reason to expect a lessening of tensions between nations, although there are strong indications that the focal point of armed conflict may shift from the Far East to the Middle East. Nearly everyone expects that some way to resolve the Vietnam conflict will be found in 1969, even though the ugly head of Communist Com-munist aggression may erupt in some other part of the world. NATIONALLY, the New Year will bring new faces and new ideas to government. Richard Nixon will now have his opportunity to place the stamp of his personality upon The Presidency and promote those programs pro-grams which he feels will best advance the welfare of the country. The Democratic Congress is expected to give its cautious support to many of Pres. Nixon's new programs, although it will likely exercise considerable resistance to any ef-. ef-. forts of the new President to dismantle any of the federal programs now established. NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE may see major changes in the national election processes, including the lowering of the voting age to 18, abolishing the Electoral College, and revamping re-vamping the system of nominating Presidential Presiden-tial candidates. Poverty and Civil Rights will continue to dominate the news in 1969, with massive efforts, perhaps unprecedented, being taken to make American citizenship the true blessing bless-ing it should be for all Americans. IN UTAH, 1969 should be a year of consolidation, con-solidation, growth and labor peace. The strain on Utah's educational system will continue to be felt, and new sources of tax revenue may be developed to improve the calibre of Utah's schools. NEST WEEK, Gov. CalivinL.Ramptonwill face a Republican Legislature to outline his plans for Utah during the coming year. These may include a revision of Utah's liquor laws which nearly all informed people feel is necessary. They will certainly include proposals for keeping pace with Utah's needs for higher education. RESIDENTS OF UTAH County will, for the first time in many years, see an all-Republican Utah County Commission sworn into office of-fice in 1969.This Includes PaulThorn,Orem's first representative on the UtahCountyCom-mission UtahCountyCom-mission in 25 years. With the control of Utah County government thus vested in the hands of a single party, it should be relatively simple for them to achieve unanimity in carrying out their programs. AS FOR OREM CITY and its people: 1969 holds the promise of more good things happening happen-ing here. Couples will pledge their troths to each other, students will graduate from the high school and university and go out into the world to seek their fortunes. Older couples will make Orem the end of their rainbows where they can spend their golden years in the shadow of Mt. Timpan-ogos Timpan-ogos and the LDS Temple. THE CYCLE OF LIFE will have its beginnings be-ginnings and its endings in Orem in 1969. Babies will be born and their grandparents will die. But between these mortal arrivals and departures there will be lives full of challenges, excitement and opportunity. Orem is a special place where a good many special people have chosen to put down their . roots and grow. It is a place where people take the time to be friendly-where neighbors are really neighbors in the highest sense of the word. Orem is a place where Service is more than a seven-letter word in the dictionary. Church service, civic service, service in SCERA, music service, youth service, recreational rec-reational service. These are only a few of the avenues of service which thousands of Orem residents choose to travel daily. Orem is a place where people are busy, serving each other. MAY 1969 bring to Orem City and its people new dimensions in growth, opportunity and service. May newcomers continue to find the hand of welcome extended by long-time residents, and may friendship abound throughout through-out the community. FOR ONE AND ALL, may 1969 be truly a HAPPY NEW YEAR! rr eeks Vlit DOLLS, DOLLS, DOLLS . . . It wasn't too many years ago that the Betsy Wetsy Doll was the marvel of the age. Justthinkl A doll that would actually dampen a diaper when the little mother gave her a bottle! Prior to that innovation in doll-making, doll-making, the most one could expect from an ersatz infant was the opening open-ing and closing of her eyes, and the faint bleating of " ma-ma" from her muslin innards. During the past few years, however, how-ever, the doll makers in Santa's work-shop have achieved several sev-eral major break-throughs in the manufacture of dolls. Programmed Pro-grammed into many of the dolls which popped out of Christmas stockings this year were human talents and abilities that were only dreamed of a couple of decades dec-ades ago. TINY TEARS was the name given to the first doll who was able to express emotion. And how many little mothers found comfort com-fort in a doll who could cry along with her when things didn't go Just right? Next came Chatty Cathy, the doll who could talk! Admittedly, Cathy had a limited vocabulary, and her conversations began to sound repetitious after her string had been pulled a few hundred times. NEVERTHELESS, She did talk, and to a woman of any age, what could be more important? With dolls who could cry and talk off the drawing boards and onto the assembly lines, nothing else seemed impossible. Next came theroller-skatingdoll, the acrobatic acro-batic doll and the singing doll. To keep up with the times there came next the doll with a wardrobe ward-robe of wigs of real human har, and then a doll who used real cosmetics THIS YEAR, the ingenuity of the dollmakers reached its height with "Toothie Ruthie," the doll that will actually grow its own teeth before your veryeyes.This latest development in the doll-makers' doll-makers' art holds out the promise of a whole new line of toys. Next year we may see a junior dentistry set to go with "Toothie Ruthie so that little brother, the budding dentist, can perform a tooth extraction or even a root canal filling on little sister's doll. If "Toothy Ruthie" and the dentist den-tist kit go over big with the junior set, you can expect the toy makers to come up with something even more exciting and dramatic the following year. Can't you just picture oldSanta bringing a Cadaver Doll to the young would-be surgeon, anxious to perform make-believe autopsies autop-sies on life-like subjects. And "Of course I call my wife 'angel.' She's always up in the air, harping on something and hasn't an earthly thing to wear." Letter To The Editor Thanks! I really do mean thanks to all you boys who had to spend the holidays across the sea, sitting sit-ting in muddy foxholes, catching a few winks on a bunk, maybe dashing off a short note to a loved one, standing guard thinking of Christmas at home with all the folks and friends. To all you whereever you are --again I say thanks, and "Fear not, for the Lord will bless and guide you for your sacrifices and courage. He has said that America is a land choice above all other lands and by your actions you are keeping her such. Please be assured that there are many back home who are fighting somewhat of a battle themselves, this being the battle to throw all we have at the enemy so you boys can win and return to your native land. Some of us feel the war is being t for the more affluent youngsters receiving two of the Cadaver Dolls, they could even perform make-believe heart transplant op-6 op-6 rations WHO CAN SAY what will constitute con-stitute the doll of the future? One day boys might receive toy astronaut as-tronaut dolls capable of orbiting the earth and even landing on the moon! ; "' ! ; "' " Where will it end? There's no" saying. But wouldn't it be surprising sur-prising and refreshing for the child whose dolls can do everything every-thing but reproduce themselves, to get an old-fashioned Raggedy Ann Doll a doll who doesn't do anything but lie on the bed, staring star-ing up at the ceiling with blank button eyes? DOLLS, DOLLS, DOLLS . . . run by the wrong generals the ones out of uniform; and we are trying to help them to see, through letter writing and such, that a war must be fought with the best weapons wea-pons any particular group has. We know you want to win in Vietnam. I'd like to tell just one example of how much our boys want to win. The following is taken from a report re-port by Wallis W.Wood who visited visit-ed the U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego, Calif, and talked to the boys. He tells of a corporal who had spent nearly three years in Vietnam. This boy had been hit by a mine but who had still gone out on the battleground to get what was left of his captain's body. The corporal had been told that he would never be able to walk without crutches. He said, Look, I love America and the American people more than anyone any-one else in this world. And 1 say this sincerely and with all my heart. But, as much as I love Americaand I fought for it proudly and almost died for it if America my country, just pulls out of Vietnam, I'm leaving. Ill go. someplace else to live. I won't stay in the United States anymore. I've seen lots of guys get dusted get killedguys I've gone through training with. I sit here and I think of McGrath and Shields and others- I could sit here and remember names all day. To think that they died and America would just forget them, just write them off as "limited casualities" in a "limited war." My God, are they all dead for nothing? For nothing- My God. ." No, corporal, they are not dead for nothing because there are Steel Consumption May Set Record, R. M. Blough Said NEW YORK-Steel Consumption may well set a new record in 1969 with domestic steel shipments ship-ments continuing the improvement improve-ment which has occurred in the late months of 1968. Final results re-sults will, of course, depend upon the vigor of our nation's economy which in turn is necessarily influenced in-fluenced by international decisions decis-ions yet to come. The labor negotiation had afar effect on the timing and size of steel production than any other single economic factor in 1968. In the earlier part of the year industry shipments showed substantial sub-stantial increases, rising to a monthly peak of 10.4 million tons in July. Then, following the signing of a new labor agreement, agree-ment, shipments tumbled to only half that rate in August and September. It is estimated that during the first seven months of the year consumers of steel added nearly 13 million tons to their inventories as a hedge against a possible strike. With continuity of production assured, "consumers "consum-ers naturally began rapid reduction reduc-tion of these inventories. The whole circumstance; with its rise and fall in domestic producing rates and customers' inventories, and with its tremendous impetus to steel imports all of which has been to the economic disadvantage disadvan-tage of employees, customers and the companies themselves, is an illustration of the destructive consequences con-sequences which can accrue under un-der the existing framework of steel negotiations. During the last months of 1968, average monthly shipments rose from the low point in August and September. For the year, total use of steel reached an all-time high slightly over 100 million tons. There is, at year end, still surplus inventory to be used up, but the brunt of that task has been accomplished. Recent records in steel consumption con-sumption have not been dependent still many Americans who do not want a limited war, but want to win like you. And again thanks, thanks to all the brave soldier boys who left their homes and other things held dear to fight that far off battle so you and I can spend our nights in a warm house in a free land. To those here at home I say, "Wake up, realize your responsibilities. respon-sibilities. The whole battle is not always fought on the front lines. This is your country; it does not belong to the politicans alone. TJiey are the servants of the people, not the rulers. Remind them of such, become informed as to what is really happening in your land and keep it free. Mrs. Jo Ann S. Paulson 1425 S. 1st W. Orem, Utah Orem-Geneva Times Thursday. January 2, 1969 of negotiations between our state department and foreign steel producers. on a wartime economy since ship-meats ship-meats for defense use currently represent only about 4 12 per cent of total steel use. A quick cessation of the war in Viet Nam may affect over-all economic activity ac-tivity for a brief period of adjustment, ad-justment, but a potential reduction reduc-tion in the defense sector's essentially es-sentially non-productive drain on the nation's resources should have a very constructive effect on the economy. It would permit economic growth with less inflation in-flation and would present oppor-tunties oppor-tunties for tax reduction, an improvement im-provement in our Balance of Payments, Pay-ments, and hopefully more balance bal-ance in the federal budget. Activity in most larger steel consuming idustries in 1969 should be at a slightly higher rate than in '68, reflecting growth in the over-all economy, even if at a shomewhat slower pace. Also, we anticipate a healthy pick-up in the long depressed housing industry and further gains in appliance sales and output. The physical volume of capital goods production may well increase by up to three per cent. Domestic shipments will, of course, be dependent on the size of foreign imports. A program of voluntary restraints upon this import tonnage, which reached about. 18 million tons in 1968 compared with less than 12 million mil-lion in 1967, has been the subject It is now a broadly accepted fact that unless proper action is taken to restrict this import tonnage, both with respect to amount and annual growth, the domestic do-mestic steel industry, and our nation, risk having their capabilities cap-abilities seriously weakened. It is now widely acknowledged that this country's needs for steel in war-time and in peace-time, and its strong foundation in steel research re-search and development, may not safely be made dependent upon foreign sources. Thus it can be reported that considerable progress has been made over the last several years Orem-Geneva Times HAROLD B. SUMNER Editor and Publisher Published every Thursday at Orem, Utah.
