WEEKS I Anyone who has been to the library lately must have observ-1 ed how full the shelves are with I books- This is a physical indication indi-cation of how well the people have responded to the call to support the library and make it a worthwhile place- Appreciation is expressed to the several people who have contributed books to the library during the past few weeks. A highly valuable book that has been received this week t irough the courtesy of the j impanogos Camp of the Daughters Daugh-ters of the Utah Pioneers is a volume which has just come off the press: "Memories That Live, A Centennial History of Utah Councy." This book has been compi'ed ty Emma N. Huff through the cooperation of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers of Utah C unty. It contains a pioneer pi-oneer history of each community commu-nity in Utah County. Quoting from the prefatory editorial: "Utah County steps into the Centennial year with a pagrant-like history. Here settlers set-tlers experienced the commonplace common-place and the unique, the joyful and the tragic. Through the decades de-cades into 1947, deep and wide currents of thought and activity activ-ity have contributed variety to the lives of her populace. From small beginnings, commercial, industrial, educational, civic, cultural, religious, and social interests have contributed to the development of the county with its boundless possibilities. These units of activity have been described de-scribed as fully as possible in the pages of the book to mind the "Memories That Live." Of special interest in this new book are the sections devoted to the history of Orem, Pleasant View, Lake View, Edgemont, Vineyard and Carterville. It is evident that this book will be in big demand in the future- Especially gratifying this Week also is the receipt of a check for the Orem library sent by the Orem Jaycec Wives. It is this spirt of cooperation and willingness to help that 1 1 41 1 " I . eniiuies me iiDrary 10 carry on successfully.

And when the young folks wanted to learn, why Dad, Uncle Bill or even Grandpa could give them lessons in a jiffy. But those were horse and buggy days. Now it's different. Dobbin's one horse power has been multiplied mul-tiplied a hundred times his jogging five miles per hour increased in-creased to fifty or more, and country roads have become crowded highways. Dangerous highways! Learning to drive the automobiles of today demands expert instruction, so that young drivers will know how to control safely the speed and power at their command. Many high schools in Utah offer driver education courses, under experienced experi-enced instructors. If there's one in your community, be sure your son or daughter enrolls in it. If not, get advice from the Department of Education, Salt Lake City. Experienced instruction will help make new drivers safe drivers.
