H. Christensen, Alpine school district president and OHem's representative to that board, when he addressed the Sharon school PTA on Thursday evening. even-ing. Although not making direct dir-ect reference to a claim by the Orem chamber of commerce that the Alpine school district was not adequately serving Orem, Or-em, Mr. Christensen directed his remarks in channels that would reflect the board's attitude toward to-ward this situation. He said that the board had purchased land at Eighth North and First East, just one block from Highway 91 on the Canyon road and neither affirmed nor denied that the board intended to build a school on that location. loca-tion. He told those present that the attitude and wishes of the public would receive full consideration in the future building of new schools in Orem. The board's policy Mr. Christensen Chris-tensen continued, aims at purchasing pur-chasing property, in each section sec-tion of Orem in order that property prop-erty might be available, not necessarily nec-essarily for building but for selling or trading if need be for other more appropriate property when new schools are built Mr. Christensen pointed out that in its expansion program, the board had created a district population map two years ago, but that the rapid growth of this area had rendered this map inaccurate in-accurate and that a new one would have to be made. With an authenic map of the area school population and land Christensen asserted that proper placement of schools would be simplified.

PACT FOR PEACE By Mrs. Wendell Willkia Two and a half years ago, when newsreels exposing the unbelievable unbeliev-able horrors of Nazi concentration camps were shown in theatres throughout the United States, a single thought came into the minds of all of us "This must never happen againl" We now have the opportunity to put this conviction into action by supporting the United Nations in its protests against such barbarism. bar-barism. The UN Secretariat has finished drafting the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment Punish-ment of Genocide, the deliberate wiping out of a race or group of human beings. Under the terms of the Convention Conven-tion being considered by the General Assembly at Lake Success, Suc-cess, Individual countries would be given the power to seize and punish any criminals guilty of genocide who are captured in their territory. An International Criminal Tribunal, similar to the Nuremberg Tribunal, may also be set up to punish flagrant cases of the crime. There can be no question in our minds as to the vital need for this pact. The persecution of minorities minori-ties is like an infectious disease; it is seldom confined to a single group of victims. In Germany, Hitler did not stop with the persecution per-secution of the Jews. One by one, Catholics, Protestants, trade unionists union-ists and all liberal Germans were suppressed by the Nazis ' But here in America we have always felt the necessity for protecting pro-tecting the rights of minorities and for the strengthening of their basic human rights. Wendell Will-kie Will-kie I think very aptly expressed this thought when he said: "It has always impressed me Gillman, Stratton Seek Mayor Post at Orem Election Tuesday With platforms of both the Citizens' Party and the Peoples' Party clearly outlined this .veek Orem voters were preparing to go to the polls Tuesday and vote for the candidates of their choice who will administer the city's affairs during the next two years.

If both Lincoln and the Grover ers winior lose their games Friday Fri-day the title will go to Lincoln, Lin-coln, but if the Grovers win and 20 OF UTAH FARMS REPORTED WITHOUT ELECTRIC SERVICE A total of 5,357 farms in Utah or 20.4 percent of all the farms in the State do not have electric elec-tric service, according to survey results newly announced by the Rural Electrification Administration Administra-tion today. The study, which analyzes the Nation's rural electrification progress up to June 30, 1947, shows that 225,000,000 fauns -or 39 percent of all farms in the U. S. - were not electrified at that time. The survey ranks Utah as thirty-second on its state-by-state listing of unelectrified farm totals. Compared with other states, therefore, Utah is a national na-tional leader in the field of rural ru-ral electrification. The report carries with it the assurance that a minimum of $263,802 in new REA loans will be available to rural electric groups in Utah before June 30, 1948. IT. Mrs. Wendell Wlllkle that, quite apart from any reasons of humanitarianism or justice or any sentiment regarding the protection pro-tection of the weak by the strong, it is only common sense to safeguard safe-guard jealously the rights of minorities mi-norities For minorities are rich assets of a democracy, assets which no totalitarian government can afford. Dictatorships must, of necessity, ne-cessity, fear and suppress them. But within the tolerance of a democracy, minorities are the constant con-stant spring of new ideas, stimulating stimu-lating new thought and action, the constant source of new vigor." We cannot afford to let down now, even though the wartime pictures have faded somewhat from memory. Rather we must tell our representatives to give their immediate, full support to the passage and enforcement of the Convention to Outlaw Geno-j cide, and must encourage others to do likewise.

WASHINGTON Trends so far In J 1947 indicate the year may bring the highest annual farm earnings in history, according to officials who worked on the reports. They say the American farmer is taking In more money than ever before, despite mounting production costs. In a survey prepared by the de- partment of agriculture It was esu-mated esu-mated that total cash receipts for farmers during the first eight months of 1947 reached 17.4 billion dollars a 21 per cent gain over the same period of 1946, a record year. Great Gross Income. Between January 1 and the end of August, the report showed, agriculture agricul-ture as an Industry had a greater gross Income than In any corresponding corre-sponding period in history. But the higher income is not all clear gain for the farmer, the report added. His operating costs are continuing con-tinuing to Increase. In 1846, the expenses ex-penses of operating farms went up 9 per cent. No estimate was made for 1947 expenses. "The average farm operator realized real-ized a net income of $2,541 from agriculture and government payments pay-ments In 1946," after the payment of taxes and other expenses, the report re-port said. This was 19 per cent more than In 1915. The farm payments program expired ex-pired June 30 this year. Farmer Income skyrocketed this year because of continuing unprecedented unprece-dented demands for his products, the report showed. Eating More Meat. The American consumer, for Instance, In-stance, is eating more meat per capita than he has since 1911. Also,; he has more money. Most of the farmers' income gain, the report observed, could be at tributed to "an increase of 24 per ! cent In prices." One authority on livestock described de-scribed the situation thin way: Consumers, with more money than ever before, are demanding more meat. This has kept meat prices up. Consequently, livestock products which include meat, meat prod ucts, dairy and poultry accounted for 10.8 billion dollars In farm Income In-come during the first eight months of 1947 an increase of M ps cent over the 1944 period. ing commissions.

Inasmuch as the issues is-sues in the election have been so well defined, it is expected that a majority of the members of either party will be elected rather rath-er than the indescriminant election elec-tion of candidates regardless of party lines will take place.
