American democracy can indure only if the citizens of our country can think straight and cease to be moved by the slander of the communist or the emotional appeal of the dictator. The purpose of the schools is to give truthful information about all questions and provide training in and unbiased thinking. It is the privilege of students to face the facts of life fearlessly and to follow the path that their conscience leads them. Ignorance is always dangerous, because it is biirwl, and blindness can result only in radicalism and confusion. The opportunity of universal scholastic training at least through high school, is our greatest assurance that democracy will endure and that the heritage of liberty and fair play, so dear to the heart of every American, "will not perish from the earth. zens. ss All citizens of Orem and vicinity who are not members of our organization are cordially urged again to join. Your problems are of interest to us, and our desire is to assist in any way we can to improve conditions in our community. Our fall social will be held some time in November in the Sharon Ward, details will be given later. Favor Deer Creek Our projects for the year which we hope to complete are: The remarking of our streets. The sur veying and planning of a numbering system for our homes and business establishments. We are cooperating with the Orem Town Board in the repainting of the signs on State Street at the entrance to our town. We are urging in cooperation with the associated civic clubs of Northern Utah, the completion of the oil surface on U. S. Highway 40 into the Uintah Basin; also the widening of hard surface on our State Highway between Provo and Salt Lake City. We favor and are urging the early starting of the Deer Creek Project. The completion of the Edge-mo- Vineyard Highway; and the extension of sidewalks. We ah so feel that the time is ripe for a united action in breaking down the Barrier in our Canyon Road town. Need for Cooperation Tolerance, faith and united ac- -j tion will tend to bring better feel' ings of cooperation between the in different factions our town, We again urge our citizens to unite for a more beautiful town. Weeds, ' rocks, old trees, and fences tend to mar the beauty of our homes and streets. Lets rid oui selves of of peaches we were able to ship this year. The combination of warm weather and intermittant rainfall seemed to bring on a climatic condition which caused the peaches to ripen much quicker than usual. The result was that they did not gain size. For this reason the crop this year will bring Counselor Chosen For Vineyard Ward At a special ward conference held Sunday evening,.

The day was ideal from a weather stand point, and thousands of people from Orem and the Lincoln High School District, together with friends from the neighboring towns turned out to enjoy the activities. Miniature Parade The miniature parade which came at nine oclock was very well done for the first attempt. It is likely that the parade will be an annual event, and many improvements will be made. The busy season of the year in which the Carnival was held, made it almost impossible for the necessary time to be given to the various floats and costumes of the marchers in order to brim- - out the theme, Count Your Blessings as should have been done. However a good start was made. The base ball and soft ball games attracted large crowds. Thi new grandstand was filled to overflowing for the main event, and large crowds were also present when the Junior base ball game was played between the Sharon and the, Provo American Legion boys. The game between the picked team from the girls softball league and Provo Second Ward champions proved very interesting. The exhibits were of a high on page eight) All-Sta- Pavilion Is Popular Don Erwin's National Broadcasting orchestra delighted a large crowd of dance fans last Friday evening at the new open air dance pavilion. A good sized crowd was present and gently enjoyed the extra high-ctadance music. The grounds and the new neon decorative bghts present an inviting appearance. The danec and the Carnival Grand Ball also proved to be delightful affairs. The Carnival Ball was one of the largest attended dances ever held at Sharon Stake. sl Carnival Chairman Expresses Thanks I would like to express my appreciation for the splendid of those who served on the various committees for the Harvest Carnival. Without this the things that were accomplished would have been impossible. Many of those who worked on the committees spent days and days of hard work and effort, we know, and for their untiring efI forts I am truly appreciative. trust that your efforts will have been somewhat rewarded by the success that attended the celebration.

Ray Loveless, manager of the association, reports that peaches have been shipped to many sections of the United States. One hundred forty cars were shipped out from this district altogether.

The local market was fairly good during most of the season and officers in charge state that growers are assured of a better price than that received last year. Growers are urged to call at the office to check up on their receipts for fruit brought in. It is anticipated that full payment will be made within the next two weeks.
