Show OKEU-GENEVA TIMES (firm - (Stxxtm Qltoa Published Erery Thursday By the Utah Valley Publishing Company, Provo, Utah M. NEFF SMART, Editor and Publisher Entered as second class matter November 19. 1937 at the postoffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 8, 1879. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3.00 $2.00 Six Months WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ... We need trash cans badly at the Orem City cemetery, inose who. change flowers at the cemetery regularly find no place to dispose of wilted flowers and trash. If you don't think Utah Valley is a veritable paradise, cumb to the top of Timp on Saturday and-look down on Urem and its environs. An 0rem bank would save local people approximately 1,000 trips to Provo and Pleasant Grove each week. And much of the shopping they do during their "bank" trips to Provo they could as well do right here in Orem. "Let's change the name of Orem to Geneva." "Let's not change the name of Orem." PARCEL FOST . WHILE YOU READ ... In about the time it will take you to read this brief article, a fire will occur somewhere in the United States. Thousands of dollars worth of property will be destroyed. And it is very possible that someone will die a horrible death. The National Board of Fire Underwriters states that a fire alarm is sent in every 53 seconds and a fire breaks .out every 57 seconds. Each day, the property loss runs into the millions, and several lives are lost. Finally, for each death, there are four injuries. This is the record for an ordinary, "quiet day." On days when spectacular fires occur, the toll of death and destruction destruc-tion soars far beyond the average. The fire that is in progress while you read this may be far away. But the next fire may be in your home or your place of business. Destructive fire has no favorites. It strikes without warninr and no property and no life is safe from it. Fire is a terrible challenge to the American people. That challenge can be met only if all the people understand the causes of fire and act accordingly. The alternative is an ever-increasing toll of death and destruction. WHIN THE BANK OF VERNAL. UINTA COUNTY.

A seven-unit seven-unit regional system would now serve us much better" he said.

Alpir.s District As!:cd Fcr $23CD fcr Central Provo City and the Provo city high school district each allocated alloca-ted $5,000 toward the purchase of a site for the Central Utah Vocational school last week, and quotas of $3500 have been set for the Alpine, Nebo and Wasatch Wa-satch school districts, according to a report of the site committee commit-tee of the vocational school! The $10,000 already appropri-' a ted is for the acquisition of the site immediately north of the BYU stadium. The Provo City allotment was on condition that the site be purchased in its entirety by Jan. 1, 1948- The vocational school has been operating at the Utah county fair grounds for the past several years, but must give up this sie so that the fairgrounds can be used for their original purpose. The Utah legislature at its last session appropriated $100,000 for the operation of the school for the next two years but made no appropriation for a site. compared with an average of 2,567 miles in 1946. This department's de-partment's program will help Utah get her share of this cash business. TfejL'y, j.y i: : Pre i o C - u .. zi Til! 2 fcs i-f ' - 1 T Utah Industrial Lr Provo 12 3 .')

Norm's Clothes Shop Valley Mortuary A Public Relations Job America's biggest public relations assignment, perhaps the most significant sig-nificant of this kind in the history of the world, is gaining momentum. It's off to a good start. You may call it industrial statesmanship, if you want to, or you may call it sell' ing th American way of life. What it amounts to is an all-out effort on th part of each one of us to demonstrate the faith we have in our economic system. So doing, we 1 shall weather any present or futurt crisis. There must be no tongue-in-cheek i when we assert that never has any other system given a people so much; nor has any other system a brighter future. We Americans are not generally an emotional people. We can read history without weeping. weep-ing. Europeans think of us as more "practical" and less idealistic. At any rate, we have been so busy that we have largely overlooked our selling sell-ing job, until time is later than we fhottgmY. ' " "; Selling Ourselves An industrialist j-ecently indulged in a bit of analysis: "The simple fact that our American-style processes of finance, production, distribution and selling actually produce more for more people than does any other set of processes ever devised by man, has never been planted deeply in the minds of our people at least not to the extent that it becomes an ever present and active part of the pub lic consciousness." I am afraid this is too true. If we had actually sold ourselves on j America through the years, we would never have s"een the phenome- non of certain of our public figures ! playing peek-a-boo with the Commu- j nlsls. There would be genuine appreciation of the accomplishments accomplish-ments and potentialities of America Amer-ica in every university chair in the land. Campaign of Truth Against so many rampant, fanatical fanat-ical destroyers, a clean and constant con-stant campaign of truth, well organized or-ganized and supported, can be effective. ef-fective. Against the doubters and the cynics, this great public relations rela-tions program must be tied-ln with all-out effort to produce goods for the American people, through an economy of abundance. Without good works, your theory falls flat. Only first understand the system, if you please, then it' easier to make It work. Too many somehow have decided that business, in this "capitalistic" country, is altogether bad. These folks have not considered, however, how many cherished things they would have to give up if they got rid of "capitalism." Without private pri-vate initiative in business and industry, in-dustry, in labor, and In professional life, we would sink to the level ol some of our critics. We take a lot of things for granted. grant-ed. Yet we have a job to do. If we are businessmen, let us not only sell the product we make, but let ui sell the product as a symbol of the freedom under which it is made. If we are workmen, let us consider our jobs as by-products cf the freedom free-dom under which we live. And no matter what we are, let us know that this sweet land of liberty offers us a freedom of opportunity as individuals in-dividuals that we can find nowhere else on this planet.
