Weve even heard of Mr. knocked cold Goldfish getting when he came up for a bite of the strange new food that was falling so fast. But when the reporrTomes in that the smooth cement floor of Dean Johnson's new garage was hammered into a lumpy surface of holes, hollows and furrows, we can understand why growing things could not resist the force of these icy pellets. Mr. Johnson had just completed the laying of this cement floor when the storm began, and now a resurfacing job is very itiuch in order. teen hearing There one thing even hail cant hurt this year, however, and thats our peach crop We haven't any. We are wondering why it is we never see any of the Scera Board of Directors (except the man in the blue swimming suit) taking advantage of Rosalawn pool. Is it because the water is too cold for them or diJ a moth eat their swimming suits? Something to think about; A Provo City resident priced black-cu- p berries in a Provo store. Beautiful berries were quoted to him at $1.10 a case. Previously he had arranged for the purchase of his blackcap berries from a grower on Provo Bench. He. wento get them the same day that he had priced them at the store. He paid $1 25 to the grower for the same grade of berries. A few jlays earlier he was in one of the southern counties of the slate. Thinking it would be a fine treat to his relatives the. c he bought a case of Bing cherries from a giower on Provo Bench at 12c a pound. While he was visiting with his folks .a peddler came along and offered the family Bing cherries, just as fine a grade as our friend had taken from Provo Bench to treat his people with, for only 10c a pound. Will somebody please find an answer to this riddle? The above condition has existed for many years and is a constant source of wonderment to people from the citie who like to buy their produce fresh from the farm. And then again, we have heard of Provo Bench peddler buying' practically all of their garden produce at the Salt Lake market because it it much cheaper there than getting it at home.

Her work as edit or has been outstanding, and. particularly her feature articles telling of the histpry of Provo Bench and bringing to light, stories of the lives of many' interesting persons who live in our community It is hoped Miss Wentz will be able to contribute articles on the subject she has specialized in. They are realty outstanding and have attracted such favorable attention.

Prizes For All Winners, Free Dance For Children Bus To Run That Orem and Sharon will do their part to help finance the Utah Valley Hospital Became apparent at an enthusiastic meeting of committee workers held at the Seminary Building Monday evening. John O. Beesley, director of the drive to secure subscriptions to the extent of $90,000, and Clayton Jenkins, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Provo City and Secretary of the Hospital Association, met with a group of committeemeji from Orem and Sharon Stake, at which meeting plans Cvere made to put over the drive in these communities. Mr. Beesley explained briefly the purpose of the hospital, how it would operate, and how it is to be financed, and reported on the enthusiastic response with which the canvassers in Provo had met among the business houses. He stated that with the present momentum, the drive ought to be well completed before October 1st. No Refusals In no instance, declared Mr. Beesley, have the canvassers met with outright refusal. Allotments have been made to the various business houses and private individuals engaged in professions in Provo and vicinity, and the response is almost one hundred per cent to the allotments made; and in some instances the business houses and private parties have Actually increased their allotments." October 1st has been set as a deadline, declared Mr. Jenkins, in our contract with the Commonwealth Fund. They probably thought that if we couldnt make it 1st, we wouldnt be able to finance the project at all. There are many other communities who are in competition with Utah Valley to get this hospital, and if we are not ready with our money hv October 1st the Commonwealth Fund will likely award the hospital to one of The tund the other communities ready to carry on. agrees to give a minimum of $200, 0U0, and our contribution to take'eare of part of the building costs, purchase of site, and deposits to cover deficits for the first five years is $90,000. The Fund will not take any steps, either in drawing plans for the building or in going ahead in any manner whatsoever until we have secured our part of the money. So it is highly important that whatever we do, we do speedily. Working Ten Years We have been working for ten years to get hospital facilities, and this is our firgt real opportunity to get a hospital which in its standard of equipment and operation will be second to none in the state. Ijt may not be as large as others, but there will be none of higher quality. While no specific allotment is made to communities as such, it was the general sense of the meeting that proportionately to what is being asked of Provo residents, the people of Orem and Sharon should be allotted about $2,180, Ibis to be divided on a pro rata population basis between the three wards in Orem and the five wards in Sharon Stake outside of Orem. Burr Made Chairman Ivan J. Burr, former mayor of Orem, and J. Erval Christensen, were named as chairman and secretary, respectively, to direct the canvass in this locality. Captains M. E.

Ward Allotments Made Members who were present at the meeting expressed themselves as being confident that the "community could raise the amount that had been alloted. On a population basis, allotments were then made to the various w'ards as follows; Grandview $207 177 Lakeview 255 i..

Decreed Rights Storage Remains Unused That Provo River is running strong enough to furnish all de- creed rights their full supply is an item given out (y Water Commissioner T. F. Wentz that will be of great interest to farmers in Sharon Stake and elsewhere in Utah County. The river measurement made Tuesday morning showed a flow of 425 second feet. The Provo Reservoir Canal which is one of the latest constructed, is running a stream of 112 second feet without drawing on its Storage from the head of the river. Up to the present time this company has only drawn 77 second feet from its Provo River storage. It has had, however, part of its water storage from the Echo project which is not now running. Stored Water Held There is now stored at the head of the Provo River in the various reservoirs belonging to the Provo Reservoir Waters Users Company, Timpanogos and Wasatch Canals in Heber Valley, and Provo City 10,300 acre feet. The two Wasatch companies are now drawing a 35 'econd foot stieam from this storage, but none is coming to Utah County irrigationists. Early in the season water from the Weber River was diverted from the Provo water shed to the extent of 7.945 acre feet through the Kama- - diversion canal. Two hundred eighty-fiv- e acre feet went (Continued on page three) (Continued on page four) Hoses andThornsfromHosalalvn A traveller recently made the rounds of three municipalities in southern Utah, each of which has a municipal swimming ppol. On his return he was commenting to one of the Scera officials on what he observed at these places. At Nephi he found the pool much smaller than the one at Rosalawn, with dressing rooms not nearly so large and not so well appointed or finished. There was practically no landscaping in evidence. At Ephraim the pool was about the same size as Rosalawns, but filled with water direct from springs only a short distance away, and with a temperature of 50 degrees. An attempt was being made to heat the water. In Manti a pool which had been constructed under a VVPA project was badly cracked and there had been extreme difficulty in draining EDITORIAL Building Hospital Good Investment We believe the people in this community are'for the most part hospital minded, and those who are not will soon become so when the facilities are brought so near to their doors. ' For many years it has been a project neat to the hearts of the people of Sharon to have a community hospital, under a plan whereby hospital benefits could be made aailable to all regardless of financial condition. Manifestly our own community could not finance a hospital of the high standard of excellence as that planned by the Commonwealth Fund. Under its plan of organization the ideas advanced by the Farm Bureau of the County and by Sham people for a hospital and medical cooperative insurance association will he possible, as the contract with the Commonwealth Fund makes these kind of groups eligible for hospital service. Most people realize that. we need a large and up to date hospital, not a private or sectarian institution or one organized for profit, but one that will give the best possible service to persons of any creed, race or, color, regardless of ability to pay. The need is for a true peoples hospital that will give rich and poor alike the finest specialized service, the best that science can offer fur saving lives and making people more efficient and happy. T1 e Utah Valley Hospital promises to be just that and the people of Orem and Sharon can do no finer or better thing for thems Ives and the entire community than to subscribe liberally to help finance it. , Building- of Utah Valley Hospital to the standard prescribed by the Commonwealth Fund will be one of the best investment., considered purely from a financial angle, that the people of Utah County have ever had the opportunity to make, to sav nothing of the great benefits that will come through the prevention of disease, the saving of lives and the lessening of human suffering. Y hen one considers the fact that one hospital in Salt Lake City had nearly three hundred cases from Utah ,'onnty last year and another three hundred from terri-lor- y immediately south of Utah County, it will be seen be spent by that large sums of money must of neces-it- y friends and relatives to visit and be near their loved ones .during their illness. The saving of this money alone byjiaving one of the states best hospitals near at hand is an item worth considering. It is not uncommon for relatives of a patient whabas been taken to a hospital in Salt Lake to spend from $50 to $200 just to be in Salt Lake during the illness or to make the trip.- ltck and forth from their home town. - Most of this can be saved by having a fir-- t class hospital in Utah valley. Orem and Sharon people especially will be fortunate in having the hospital at their very doors. COMMUNITY-DANC- E 4 In addition to the events scheduled which will be held at Rosalawn, the community recreational center, the community has been invited to participate in the Utah Stake M. I. A. sunrise program on the steps of the City and County building in Provo. Many will attend these exercises. Pool Open All Day While the swimming pool will be open all day, the real events following the grand carnival ball on Friday evening will begin at 2: 00 p. m., July 24th, at the Rosalawn grounds with a base ball game on the south field between Lake View and Vineyard, traditional rivals. The activities will take on the nature of a two or tlvree ring circus. While the base ball game is being played races for youngsters will be held on the large lawn west of the swimming pool under the direction of Mrs. Olive K. Burningha.n, stake superintendent of Primary associations. Frizes will he given in all the races. Band Concert From 4 to 5 p. m. the Lincoln High School Band, which has attracted a great deal of attention recently, will give a concert tinkler the trees at the east of the stae administration building. From 5 to 6 p. m. the horse shoe pitching contests will be conducted on the high school courts under the direction of Joy O. Clegg of Vineyard. Also at 5 o'clock a candy shower will be held at the swimming pool, open to all children on page two) it. The pool is no) in use at all this year. In comparing these statements with what exists at Rosalawn it will readily be seen that while the people who have to drink the Orem water are unfortuuate in having it so many degrees warmer than that at either Ephraim or Manti, yet it is fortunate for the swimmers who swim in this warmer water. After one day of standing in the .sun, it makes very pleasant bathing. Recent tests also reveal Orem water to be outstanding in it cleanliness and freeness from bacteria. Rosalawn probably leads any pool in the state in this respect This observer was very strong in his praise of RosalawM as compared with any of the others he had visited. The big dance on Friday evening, July 23rd, promises to be one of the seasons real social events. Any number of clubs and social groups are planning to have their entire membership there. Particularly is this true of a group of Sharon people, notably the Lincoln Club,. composed of graduates and former students of the Lincoln High School, and the (Continued on page two) Relief Society Outing July 30 Every woman in Sharon stake is invited to join the Stake Relief Society in an outing at the new Canyon Home in North Fork on Friday, July 30th Activities at the home will commence at 10:30.
