It was previously expected to have the Center exhibits ready by January 2. However, some of the exhibitors felt that glass exhibit cases were necessary for protection. pro-tection. A committee of Gareth Sea-strand, Sea-strand, Eph Twitchell, DeRay Broderick, and Barry Bartlett recently met and authorized the design of 14 exhibit cases to house many valuable donated articles. ar-ticles. The cabinets, when designed, de-signed, will be let out for bid in order to get the project completed com-pleted as quickly as possible. A number of exhibits are being held up until cabinet work and exhibit labeling are completed. One of the historical exhibits being readied is the Cox Bros.

The excitement of the circus coming to town with its gaily decorated wagons, spirited music, strange animals and painted clowns left a permanent impression on Cox who was employed in the Engineering Department at Geneva Steel for 28 years. His hobby stems from the fact that he majored in industrial in-dustrial arts at Brigham Young University. He taught industrial arts at Castle Dale, Utah Challis, Idaho and Payson, Utah before changing to the steel plant in 1943. The making of the circus e-quipment e-quipment provided a pleasant outlet for his training.

Council members previously voted to provide citizens two January public hearings, however how-ever they were later cancelled. In place of these hearings, this new committee will present pre-sent slide shows, brochures and fact sheets to various civic clubs in Orem, in order to inform involved citizenry. The initial 3.2 million dollar figure was raised to four million dollars because of inflation, and Haines, said that the new figure is a safe one because planners hope to keep costs below that sum. He said he does not anticipate an-ticipate an increase in the mill levy. Councilman Zimmerman and architect Eric Sandstrom presented pre-sented sketches both interior and exterior, that were preliminary ideas for the proposed complex. Although no location has been decided upon, Zimmerman said that the superintendent of Alpine School District would give permission per-mission to use any secondary school land for the complex.

Although the projected projec-ted cost is $4 million, the City Manager doesn't think it will raise the present mill levy. He also offered thd possibility of the location being near new schools being built in the Orem area. The 314 foot by 348 complex, as planned, will be self-sufficient in its operating costs.

In order to make the facility a public family recrtation center, the City will make available season sea-son rate cards that may be purchased pur-chased individually or by families. fam-ilies. The cards would be good year-round, and would also save purchasers money. Although swimming pools usually usu-ally don't pay for themselves, Haines said he believed that the other facilities such as handball courts, would carry costs adequately. ade-quately.
