There are plenty of bouquets being handed around this week on Orem's Centennial Festival. It was a fine celebration celebra-tion and a credit to the community. We are particularly pleased with the space which the state papers used in covering cov-ering the festival both newswise and with art. Our queens and our floats looked good. To. Oscar II. Anderson, Centennial chairman, goes top credit for the success of three-day festival. He, modestly enough, declares that the success was insured by an enthusiastic enthu-siastic committee and by a keen group of Jaycees. It is certain cer-tain that both those groups, alon& with many others deserve the vote of thanks of the entire community. Mayor J. W. Gillman, unusually well pleased with the celebration, asks that these columns express the thanks of himself and of the city council to the workers who made the festival such a great success.

CENTENNIAL STAMP TO BE ISSUED FOR JULY 24 The Utah Centennial postage stamp will be released as scheduled sched-uled on July 24, it was announced announ-ced late last week following a meeting of the Utah Centennial commission at which they voted unanimously to ask the U. S. postoffice to proceed with the printing. The special stamp has been held up temporarily because of the objection of some groups to the designs. Gus P. Backman, Centennial commission director, said the commission felt release on July 24 would more than offset any advantage which PROVO BRICK AND TILE COMPANY Maunfacturers of CLAY PRODUCTS If you can afford any home, you can afford a BRICK HOME Phone 296 Provo, Utah might be gained by changing the design.

Poinsettia Holds Beauty The Christmas poinsettia will hold Its beauty longer if it is kept where the temperature is about 60 to 65 degrees de-grees and where it will get an hour or two of sunshine. It should be watered daily. If the flower pot of earth is about two quarts in size, a cup of water will not be too much. House plants generally need extra care during the months when heating heat-ing plants are going full tilt, and should be watered a little every day.

The discovery that chicken feathers feath-ers contain 100 per cent protein promotes pro-motes them from a fertilizer to an excellent material for plastics and other articles of commerce. Machines have already been perfected per-fected for the conversion of feath ers into protein t and plastics. The value of feathers as a soft, warmth producing material mate-rial has long been recognized. Many the Russian army coats are lined with feath-j feath-j ers. In the U.

The plastic can be used for sewing up wounds, its great advantage advan-tage being that as the body heals, it absorbs the stitches. Serious attempts at-tempts are being made in various countries to convert feathers into human hu-man food.

C. Drawing wide attention in Washington, D. C-, is an elaborate elabor-ate Utah exhibit sponsored by the Library of Congress in the rotunda of the Capitol building. The items in the exhibit have been drawn from the library's almost inexhaustible files, from (he national archives, from state, war and olhor departments, and from the files of the Geological Survey. Many of the historical documents arc on exhibition for the first time, especially an array ar-ray of old maps tracing the development de-velopment of the Utah country from the days of the earliest explorers. ex-plorers. The main exhibit occupies occup-ies 34 cases and the potographic display of early Utah Indians made by J. K. Ilillers of the U. S. Geological Survey as early as 1870, occupies the same amount of space. The story of Brigham Young's first trek to Salt Lake valley in 1847 is recalled by an interesting array of documents and data on exhibition. Old books, as well as Harper's Weekly and other magazines oi the fifties, which told of early Utah life, have been assembled. The coming of Ihe railroad, the driving of the golden spike, and educational j development of the state down to the present time is! depicted, along with the state's agriculture agricult-ure and mineral developments. The exhibit has probably the largest display of Utah music ever gathered together, including includ-ing folklore songs made famous during the trek across the plains. This Utah exhibit will be on display throughout the entire summer in the nation's capitol. No Recession Seen for Utah Recently conducted business surveys of the west as well as in Utah indicate that Utah's population popu-lation has increased 22.9 percent since 1940, as compared with a national increase of 7.3 percent The westward migration of pea-pie pea-pie which started during the war still shows no sign of halting, halt-ing, and all evidence indicates that western population gains will be retained and continue to grow. The result of such growth wherein Utah has gained 126,000 news residents means an expanded expand-ed market, which opens the door for new business and permits the expansion of established businesses.
