Lefii Mayor DODGE MODELS PROVE PLEASING .-. ....... V DEAN TRIOH Schools Obtain Larger Grounds Hew management : For Yellow Cab One of the recent policies of Provo school district has been to enlarge the school grounds, to make room for landscaping work and playgrounds. The schools now own a com plete city block or more where the Franklin, Joaquin and Tlm- panogos grade schools, and the Dixon and Farrcr junior high schools are located. Houses still remain on some of the property, but it Is -expected that these will be removed as soon as it is practical. An Increase of 70 students ls reported In the schools this year, leaking a total of 40S2, the largest larg-est enrollment In history. Ten years agra, 1923-30, Provo schools enrolled StMS, and in 1915, when the present system was started, enrollment was 2043, or Just about half what it is at the present time. There are two teachers more this year than last. Following- the completion of the new Joaquin and Timpanogos schools, there has been a lull in building activities. It Is expected, however, the improvements at the Maeser school, especially on the grounds, will be started soon. Even Dtxlge users of long years' standing are expressing pleased surprise when they view the 1940 models, declares Ralph Naylor, manager of the Naylor Auto Co. ".More than a million was spent by Dodge in making the . dies alone for these unusual, new cars," saj's Naylor. "This means, i; brief, that the new cars which are going to be on display at Naylor's are really new, from sill to ceiling, from bumper to bumper. - - , ' The new line's models .feature .fea-ture what engineers believe to be the greatest advancement in automotive engineering since the introduction of hydraulic brakes that Is, 'full- floating ride'.' Additional riding ease has been obtained by Dodge" through introducing in-troducing the new "airfoam" cushions, made of a substance which assures air chair comfort, the Naylor executive added. Quick-flowing power Is assured by Dodge's six-cylinder, floating-power floating-power mounted engine, developing develop-ing 87 horsepower with 6.5 to 1 compression ratio, it was dec-c dec-c la red. Visitors to the company's new showroom will be impressed, in Naylora opinion, by the air-cleavingr air-cleavingr V-slant radiator grille, the streamlined hood, arched roof, moulded fender contourE and the unbroken roundness or rear quarters and back. -We're happy Indeed - to be opening with such unusual models mod-els on our new sales display floor," states Naylor. Pleasant Grove Known For 'Strawberry Day9 Pleasant Grove, known far and wide for its 'anunal Strawberry) Day, is cne or uie mnving cines in the north end of the county. situated in a picturesque setting at the base cf Mt. Timpanogos, the highest peak in the Wasatch range. ; Vivian N. West, retired forest ranger, descendant or one of the pioneer settlers of the clty is the present mayor: ; The , new civic building which has been erected on the main street of Pleasant Grove is the principal project now under way. Flans for the building were begun under the mayorship of Lyean Johnson, furthered while S.. A. Kirk, was father iof the city and Mayor V. N. .West will see.it fin- shed. The building, costing sllght- y over $30,000 has council cham bers, recreation hall, fire chief j office, office for the police, housing hous-ing for the fire department, a Jail, and the second floor will bouse the city library. This ; one Large room is modern in every re spect. Carpenters are now busy on the book stocks and library board members are busy culling old boaks at the old library build ing preparatory to moving to the new home within the next month. Mayor West said the next new project for Pleasant Grove will be remodeling the old civic building into a museum for pioneer relics. The east part 'of it will be used for a city work shop, lie said probably $14,000 woud be spent on this project. There .will also be some improvements made on roads and sidewalks, but definite plans have not been made yet. 1 Mayor PontiacDeLuxe Six Sedan J j VIVIAN WEST GENERAL GETS EXPENSE OTTAWA . tt.'.rj Major-Gen, A, G; I!
