WHAT THEY'RE SAYING The Orem cemetery and the Orem City park are becoming becom-ing the beauty spots they were designed to be, thanks to Victor ChrTstense-n, care taker. He is tireless in his efforts to beautify the properties. Congratulations to the 21 Orera Boy Scouts who have qualified for participation in the Utah Centennial encampment encamp-ment at Fort Douglas. Members of the Orem Riding Club, parading in Salt Lake City Monday night before the governors of 46 states, provided a spectacle which pleased the governors and can well make us proud. Prospects for bumper peach and pear crops are excellent. SMI KSmy; f w ") Mir ; r - i'i vr ' ft ... .v.: TLMPANOGOS BOWL . . . First publication came early this week of news of the project about which Orem residents have been speculating for a long time: Dean Park's sports stadium which is being constructed north of the city at the foot of Mt. Timpanot?os. Orem is already famous as the fruit center of the inter-mountain inter-mountain area, and more recently as the home of Geneva Steel the finest and most modern steel plant in the world. Now comes a new distinction: Site of the world's largest sports stadium. For several months motorists and townspeople have watthed from afar progress being made in the excavation of the huge bowl at the base of the mountain, and hundreds i of local people have traveled to the site of the stadium toj marvel at its size and to thrill at the view which the stadium site affords of Utah Valley, the lake, the orchard? and communities. com-munities. There is perhaps no other spot on the circumfer-ance circumfer-ance of Utah Valley which affords so attractive a view of this choice land. Orem's newest bid for fame promises to be as substantial substan-tial a bid as the fruit and steel industries. We feel satisfied that few places on earth could be so favorably located for viewing a sporting event, or for hearing a symphony orchestra or-chestra or a name dance band, or for viewing on a summer evening the presentation of a pageant or patriotic program. Our hat is off and up to Dean Park for the vision, the courage and the enterprise which have made possible for Orem the "world's largest stadium." With respect to the name contest which is being conducted con-ducted currently for a name for the huge bowl, we respectfully respect-fully submit "Timpanops Bowl." The backdrop which the grand old mountain provides for one of the choicest views on earth makes the name, it seems to us, a "natural." HISTORIC INDIAN PICT06RAPHS...

PARABLE OF TALENTS APPLIED BY CHURCH What had been true in the Olivet Ol-ivet discourse of the talents, (Matthew XXV: 14-30) was true 2,000 years after in Bluffton, Ohio. Distributed among members of the First Presbyterian church was $2,000; $10 per person. The sermon that day was based on the parable of the talents and the congregation was told to multiply the money in any way tney could. Sample ways: seeds for flower and vegetable sales, material for home craft work. Recently, nearly a half year after the distribution ,the congregation con-gregation began sending their "increase" back In unmarked envelopes. Results, with about 20 "talents" still to come: $9,753.

Here's one reason: Electricity will do the cooking while you take the afternoon off! Sounds easy, doesn't it? And it is! Here's how simple it is to have a delicious meal for your family . . . and yet be gone all afternoon . . . 1. Place a whole, planned meal in the oven of your electric range. 2. Set the automatic temperature control to get the exact cooking heat you want. 3. Set the automatic timer control so that the food will cook exactly as long as you want it to. That'i all you do. When you come back, a hot, savory meal is ready to serve. Set th ALL-ELECTRIC KITCHENS and other tltctrical X hi bit at th UTAH CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION THIS 'II THAT By Ethyl N. Hair A Request Hi Folks Ever so often I get to thinking, think-ing, and it takes a heap of trying to straighten out my mind. I often of-ten wonder how much help should be given to people. And right there is where I get my tenses mixed. To help people to help themselves is of the greatest great-est importance - but to give them something for nothing Is to rob them, indeed it is to rob them of initiative and the joy of achievement. It is mucn like the controversy in Heaven When Lucifer volunteered to come down to earth and save every soul. But mat plan did not find favor with the Lord, and so he rejected It- Instead Jesus found favor with the Lord because he said "I will go down to earth and establish a plan whereby each man will be his own agent. I will set up a kingdom king-dom of righteousness, whereby all men shall know "right from wrong", and goven their actions accordingly. The Lord accepted this plan, and Jesus was sent to the earth" in due time the rest is history. Lucifer's plan, tf we give something for nothing and rejecting the plan set forth by Christ. n If You Want lo do Something Bad Enough You will I get fed up with excuse makers mak-ers including myself because if you want to do a thing bad enough ,you certainly will. A noted no-ted author and drama critic who believes there are no desires or ambition which is to remote for achievement, no land' too distant dist-ant to visit, if you really want to do it bad enough. Most people think they have been thwarted. This attitude interests in-terests me, because I know from past experience some folks use 'thwarted' for lack of ambition or initiative. Some peopie mistake mis-take day dreams for desire, and a consuming ambition. The first steps are to segregate the day dreams from the ambitnns, and proceed from there. "Effort is the price of achievement.-' And any ambition worth while is worth an effort. Perhaps it's inertia, a vain expectation of things without working for them- People who say "I have always wanted to do certain this'n that, but never had the time, or means ,or too sensitive) are in the category of those who say "I wish I had the time to read good books." When I see a little mother reading and studying while nursing her baby, ba-by, or a stenographer reading a book of solid merit while eating her lunch I know anybody who cares about reading can find time. f loo::l"3 m mm urn m m n GEORGES. BENSON Ptttidfthttiitt Cllltl Scut). J.latsti A Present Threat America today needs thinkers if j any nation ever did. W not only ' have the responsibility of the world, but we have a debt of $2,000 for every man, woman, and child. This means a debt of $8,000 for a family of four. Just to pay the interest on that debt takes more federal income in-come than the naUon ever raised from taxes in any year before the war. We have, also, the added costs of war pensions and expenditures for veterans. Moreover, wt must keep strong armed forces as a hope of not soon being in another war. Again and again we shall be called upon for relief and assistance to foreign countries. coun-tries. The $400,000,000 for Greece and Turkey is only a beginning. The total demand over the next two years may run as much as $3,000,-000,000 $3,000,-000,000 above all present obligations. obliga-tions. Demand is everywhere, at home and abroad. Essentials to Health. To meet all of these heavy demands de-mands we must have a healthy economy. This is not optional. It is a must President Truman, Mr. Bernard Baruch, and others are calling for some of the essentials to a healthy economy. They have recently stressed longer hours, and higher productivity on the part of labor; lower profits and lower prices on the part of industry; and maximum max-imum production on the part of agriculture. ag-riculture. These are good. They are essential, and I endorse all of them. But one equally important item is being overlooked. It is so important, impor-tant, that I believe unless corrected correct-ed properly it will act as a brake on our economy and prevent the very prosperity we all crave. I refer to taxes on incomes in the high brackets. brack-ets. The contention that we can keep the present high tax rate on big incomes and maintain a healthy economy is in my opinion fallacious. falla-cious. Desire to Venture A dynamic economy like ours requires re-quires that a lot of men each year must not only dream dreams of achievement, but that they actually must venture into business in an effort ef-fort to satisfy American consumers. This is an obligation upon men who have large amounts of capital capi-tal But men in the high brackets now are being taxed up to 85 per cent of their net income. The tak( from income is so great as t threaten their willingness to risk. A man who could keep only 15 per cent of any additional income would not likely find it advisable to undergo the required risk necessary to increase in-crease his income. Politics and Courage Naturally, it is easy to say that those in the high brackets are the ones most able to pay, that they are the last ones to deserve an. tax relief. It is also good politic to appeal to the many, with a de termination to keep taxes on those "able to pay." But it is very bad for the future of the nation. Any policy that keeps competitive capital from going freely into the tools of production to make goods and provide pro-vide jobs is, in the long run, going to reduce the national income, reduce re-duce the number of good jobs and reduce wages. Sustained high investment of private pri-vate capital in the tools of production produc-tion is the only possible road to sustained sus-tained high wages and full employment. employ-ment. May we have the courage and the wisdom to correct this dangerous dan-gerous threat to our future before it is too late, regardless of immediate immedi-ate political repercussions. May we look to the welfare of the many, and keep America ever the land of the free. When people make excuses that they haven't time to read. I know it is not the time that is lacking, it is because they prefer to spend their leisure time in other ways, playing bridge, going go-ing to movies, listening to the radio, dancing, etc. Weed out the undesirable personality traits, day dreaming, excuse making and plant in the mind and soul initiative and ambition, am-bition, then if you want to do it bad enough, you certainly will. from where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh Sam Helps with the Dishwashing CUY TZO.W YCJ3 VfAti rOW AMD liaNt COMFAMT Mill Dropped in at the Abernathy's just the other evening and there was Sam, out in the kitchen with an apron on, helping his missus wash the supper dishes. (And then I learned later he'd helped cook the supper, too.) Of course, Sam could have settled set-tled into his favorite chair, enjoyed en-joyed his evening glass of beer, and left all the messy kitchenwork to Dixie. But he kind of likes her company and she in turn certainly cer-tainly appreciates his help. In fact, sharing the housework and the mealtime chores is sort of a bond between them . . . like sharing shar-ing that friendly glass of beer together, to-gether, when the work is done. It's one of those little all-important things in marriage. From where I sit, the time that a man and wife can spend with each other in this busy world today is all too precious. And the more things they can do together, the better. i;i;;e years ago this week Beginning with this issue the Orem-Geneva Times will publish pub-lish as a special feature a reflection re-flection of past events and activity act-ivity in the community entitled "Nine Years Ago This Week."

Calleen Robinson, centennial queen, is featured on the front cover turning a valve on the intake in-take structure of the Jordan Narrows siphon- She is described describ-ed as "a true descendant of the original Mormon pioneers, who first practiced irrigation in the state a century ago, being the granddaughter of a Provo River project farmer."

The article appraises the significance sig-nificance of Utah's first irrigation irriga-tion and estimates the results, commenting: "The State of Utah now is a cmmonwealth of some 600.000 persons who enjoy living condi tjons comparable to the finest of present-day civilization "Not without the greatest sacrifices, sac-rifices, toil and bitter disappoint ments was Utah's progiess made possible. Yet, by the turn of the century, more than 1 000 miles of hand-hewn canals had been dug and most of the lands irrigated irri-gated in Utah today were under the ditch."

He supplied a never before be-fore told footnote to Winston Churchill's stirring "we will fight on the beaches" broadcast after the Dunkerque rout in 1930. Said the Very Rev. Dr. Hewlett Hew-lett Johnson to an audience at Colchester, England: "During the broadcast, Mr. Churchill put his hand over the microphone and, in an aside ,said to me with a smile: 'And we will hit them over the heads with beer bottles, bot-tles, which is all we really have got.'
