At least nature is just. She pays in kind. So don't worry; your sins will rise to haunt you. You may even recognize some of them. e, Seriously, for the moment, what this would be if we all had the moral courage to give where needed the most and in gifts worth while, trusting to our real friends to understand that our friendship is on a plane so high that it needs no material expression as evidence of its existence. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. It would indeed be a unique Christiana could put Christmas into operation this profound truth uttered 2000 years ago, and honored more in the breach than in the servance. a fine Christmas . At the risk of becoming preachy why not clothes, fuel and food for those in need, and toys to gladden the hearts of kiddies in these homes, instead of the tons of cards, not to mention myriads of other things, which catch the eye but once and are forgotten immediately? inasmuch as ye Remember, " have clone it unto the least of these my brethren, ve have done it unto me." Why not the once a Christ-lik- e Christmas? Upon application of the citizens, Orem town extended its boundary lines and supplied water to the people within said Patten addition. The above project cost the taxpayers $1.5o0 and brings a yearly revenue of $210.00 in water rates and taxes. Within seven years time this project will be a clear asset (to the town. Over $5,000 has been spent in development work at the springs. This work has improved water conditions at the springs and was a great factor in evading a severe watei shortage during the past two years. Through a purchase and exchange with Provo City, Orem has obtained fifty acres of the Ilciselt property, joining the town springs. This project gives Orem control of all its own water sheds and much additional water Considerable effort and money has been spent to replace the old clay pipe with cast pipe at the springs. When completed this rewill eleniinate roots placement checking the water flow. Within the town some mains have been moved and deepened to avoid previous trouble of freezing and bursting pipes, thus causing expense and trouble. Under supervision of Ivern Pyne and Erven Hooley, respectively, ten miles of roads and eight miles of graded side walks have been constructed. Many meetings have been held with the State Road Commission in order that Orem might get the splendid cement sidewalk now being completed. The cement walk alone has gained a much needed for the small foot thorough-far- e cost of about $200 to the taxpayers. Mr. Burr voiced his gratitude to the citizens for giving the council their support and vote for the replacement of the old wood water main with the new cast iron. Since the new line has, been installed tlic expense of operating the well and pump lias ceased, the system is filled to overflowimr. and Qrem is provided with one of Utahs finest water systems. At a cost of $96,000 plus the $1J,000 grant, the town is MANY IMPROVEMENTS AT CREST THEATRE now able to better serve its users and extend its service to many r.ew members. Other items accomplished are building a timber bridge across Provo River leading to the spring property, making pipe amf widening all Culverts in the town, and improving some of the plank bridges. In glancTng hack over the past four years spent in Orem's service Mr. Burr expresses appreciation to all and to the citizens who have supported and aided in Orems problems. He declared, "May success attend the incoming Major, Mr. McKellen and his council, inav they complete present projects and many, others, continuing to make Orem, Utahs choice place. the maximum comfort of theatre chairs; a new ventilator and air conditioner keep the atmosphere pleasant and healthful no matter what the size of the crowd; a new heating system automatically keeps the building1 at the desired temperature.
