The play, Pride and Prejudice, Was a big success due to the able direction of Lafe Terry and the long hours of staging and rehearsals by the cast. We're sure that none of the students regret one hour spent at rehearsals, because only through concentrated effort can perfection be achievedi Some of the families of the cast o doubt experienced strained relations re-lations at times when their children had to spend so much time away from home at play practice, but it is certain they were all gratified that their children were occupying their time in such worthwhile endeavor. endeav-or. Around and About For a number of years Vivian Viv-ian Park, potentially one of the finest resorts in Utah has been more or less an orphan. Many people have observed the possibilities poss-ibilities for improvement and expansion of accomodations, but no one knew just what to do about it. It remained fo Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Morrow of Orem to take positive action. When they noticed the place was for sale a few months ago the Morrows Mor-rows called their local real estate es-tate dealer, Oscar Anderson of Orem Real Estate. It took a little lit-tle time, as deals of this size generally do. The title was scattered scat-tered over 150 pages of abstract. It was finally brought down, and with a little clearing, found to be good. A clear title was drawn up and a deed to all the property known as Vivian Park, consisting of over 100 acres, was signed by the owners, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Andrus of Spanish Span-ish Fork, and tne ownership passed to the Morrows. Already the Morrows are on the job painting and cleaning up. With the addition of more and better cabins, improvment of restaurant facilities, etc. Vivian Park promises to be a mecca for skiers and skaters in winter, and for fishermen and vacationers in summer. Good luck to the Morrows in their undertaking. We're sure the people of Orem will be anxious to visit Vivian Park often in the future.

Agreement was reached Monday Mon-day between Orem City, the Utah Power and Light company and property owners in the vicinity vic-inity of Eighth North on U. S. 91 for the financing and maintenance main-tenance of 25 new street lights which will give Orem over half a mile of "white way" lighting in its main business district. Plans call for the installation of the new lamps from Richard Park Super Market south on 91 to Simmons Lumber and Hardware Hard-ware company, with an additional addition-al 150 feet both east and west from U. i. 91 on Eighth North street. Approval of the plan by the city council followed the presenting pre-senting of a petition bearing 32 names of property owners in the area asking that the citv cooperate by paying for one-half of the power needed to maintain main-tain the lights. The petition pointed out that the lights were needed to prevent traffic accidents, acci-dents, to simplify policing problems prob-lems and to encourage the growth of the city. It asked that a special improvement district be established for the lighting system and that the city pay one-half the operating costs. Estimates Esti-mates placed the total operating cost at $100 per month, with property , owners paying at the rate of about one and one-half cents per front foot per month, Edward Hall, who represented the power company at the meeting, meet-ing, declared that U.

He said that the entire project might talre six months to complete. com-plete. . The lighting program will begin be-gin as soon as the improvement district is legally set up. Also to be included in a similar district is the lighting system which has been installed around the Scera -Lincoln high school block. The petition asking for the lighting project was presented to the council by Clarence York, chairman of the Orem Citizen's committee. Mr. York, during the meeting, reported results of a poll which hie committee had initiated a-1 mong four Orem civic clubs: theloa Hodgkinson and Velva Maag. chamber of commerce, the Am erican Legion, the Jaycees and the 20-30 club.

Licenses to sell beer were approved ap-proved at the meeting for Joe Adams, operator of The Cottage, and for Leon Shaw. . Flaring anew at Monday's meeting was the nine-months-old controversy between W.- K. Todd and B. K. Bird, 16th North residents. Mr. Todd, who operates oper-ates a trailer camp at 16th North and U. S. 91, has asked the council coun-cil repeatedly to enforce the zoning ordinance with respect to a small farm building which he VOLUME claims was built near his property prop-erty after the zoning ordinance made such construction illegal. Mr. Bird claims that the building build-ing was constructed before the April '47 ordinance was passed. City Attorney, Hugh Vern Wentz reported prior to Monday's Mon-day's meeting that testimony of neighbors is about evenly de-vided de-vided with regard to the actual date of construction, but building build-ing Inspector Ed Wickman gave new evidence Monday which gave the council grounds for instructing in-structing Attorney Wentz to file a complaint against Mr. Bird if such is necessary to gain removal remov-al of his building. Mayor J. W. Gillman on Monday Mon-day named A. A. Richards and Fred Davies to the Orem Planning Plan-ning commission to succeed Iloy Gappmayer and Frank Woffin-den. Woffin-den.

The council heard Carlyle Bunker of Bunker's Farm feeds declare that there are inconsistencies inconsist-encies in the city's license system. sys-tem. Mr. Bunker said that the profits of a business are not necessarily nec-essarily determined by its gross.

IM. V j MARKETS OF WORLD PLUNGE M WAKE OF U.S. COLLAPSE -Vm Mum,, 'mmm mm f I SJ!llin9 :de" S.wamp EDITORIAL At first we -were merely amused, but upon thinking1 it over we became indignant. Those were our reactions upon reading the above headline in The Deseret News last evening. Space limitations often lead to an unhappy choice of words in the writing of newspaper heads, and ordinarily ordin-arily we're tolerant, but the above is a nonpareil. It can't pass this desk unmentioned. ". . . .In Wake of U.S. Collapse" we've wondered how that headline will look reproduced in Izvestia or in Pravda. In Russia, you know, they wish it were true. In France and England, where millions have faith in our ability to rehabilitate Europe, the good folk would be rudely shaken at the speed with which the world's richest rich-est and most powerful nation could collapse. In thousands thous-ands of United States homes if the nation's papers generally gen-erally were as flippant as our own Deseret News readers read-ers would interpret this week's price trend as the signal to, hoard their money, to run to the bank, or to lose faith in America's ability to produce and distribute an abundance abun-dance of good things for all. Please, you editors of The Deseret News, look around you. The past tense of "collapse" is hardly the word to describe the United States of America at this juncture. Nothing is wrong with the -U.S. which common sense, normal buying, normal sellirt? and responsible newspapers can't cure. Those street sales, if the headline wa3 intended to boost them, aren't worth it. One other thing: If you must slant the news remember re-member a worthy tenet of the church you speak for: "preach only that which encourages faith." Mass Meeting to Air Prospects for Curb-Gutter Project Orem City councilmon on Monday set March 1, as the date for a mass meeting of property owners along US 91 to determine deter-mine city action on curb and gutter projects the length of Orem on the highway. The properly owners will air proposals of the Utah State Road commission to surface US 91 from curb to curb through Orem where there is a curb. The project, if entered upon by the state, must be done in conjunction con-junction with the paving project pro-ject which is slated to four-lane US 91 from Pleasant Grove to Provo during 1948. It was the feeling of the council coun-cil on Monday that abutting property owners would have to stand the cost of curb and gutter installations, but that payments could be arranged over long periods through setting up special spec-ial improvement districts. It was pointed out that a hard surfaced road from curb to curb through the length of Orem would make the city a show spot of the region, and that, gaining that improvement merely by paying the cost of the curb and gutter was an unusual oppor tunity for the property owners along the highway. The city engineer is estimat ing costs and doing preliminary engineering work in order to report to the mass meeting on the probable costs of the program pro-gram to the owners of frontage front-age on US 91. Alpine Teachers Set Workshop Workshop meeting for members mem-bers of the Alpine Teachers association as-sociation will be held Monday, February 16, at the Pleasant Grove high school, It was announced an-nounced this week by Lyean I. Johnson, president of the group. The convention, to which all as sociation members, school ad ministrators, teachers and other friends of education in the area are invited, will begin at 1 p.m. Departmental work will be from 2:30 until 4 p.m. Order of business in the general gen-eral meeting will include the adoption of a constitution for the teachers association, followed by a program featuring the impor tance of good public relations within the district. Harold Peterson, Pet-erson, chairman of the U. E. A. public relations committee, will be the featured speaker. Following the general assembly, assem-bly, five group meetings will be held, in which discussion leaders will introduce topics for their section. All present will be in vited to contribute. Sponsors of the convention are hopeful that the group discussions discus-sions will result in better under standing between the patrons teachers and administrators, thus improving our educational affiliations. PRICE FIVE CENTS Sunday Closing Lav Gets Skids; Parks Fined Costs TIGERS SET FOR TILT WITH LEHI AT LINCOLN FRIDAY With their sights set high this week on the runner-up spot in the Alpine division and a berth in the Class B state tourney, tour-ney, Coach Mel Briggs' Lincoln Tiger hoopsters were practicing for their tilt with Lehi in the Lincoln gymn Friday night. Following a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of American Fork last week Coach Briggs reported re-ported today that his basketeers have been looking good in practices prac-tices during the week and the morale of the players has been exceptionally high. Spunky forward, for-ward, Ralph Willetts, saw action in last Friday's game in spite of a broken hand, but he will be on the bench for the rest of the basketball season, according to Coach Briggs. Ted Allen was high scorer for Lincoln in the game with the Cavemen, chalking chalk-ing up II points, scoring on four field goals and three free throws. Griffin led American Fork to victory with 13 points on" three field goals and seven free throws. The experts are picking Lin coln over the Lehi Pioneers in Friday's game inasmuch as the Lehi quint has lost four straight league games without scoring a victory. The Lincoln five may run into some unexpected competition, com-petition, however, if the Lehi cagers recover some of the strength stren-gth exhibited in their game with BY high last Friday. Coach Briggs announced the following tentative starting lineup line-up for Friday's game with the Pioneers: LaVell Edwards and Kay Baker as forwards, Ted Allen at Center, and Jack Ferguson Fer-guson and Tad Hideshema at guard spots. A good turn-out is expected from the Lincoln student body, the Lehi student body and the general public.

The Windsor crew tackles Spanish Fork 2nd at 9 p. m. tonight. Coached by Virgil Cook, the Windsor boys won eight straight games in league competition here to grab the title.

Richard McDonald is ud and around again after spending 10 days in the Salt Lake Veteran's Hospital with pneumonia. Orem's Sunday closing law, center of controversy and statewide attention, died Monday Mon-day like it was born six months ago in a closed session of the city council. The council voted, tnree votes to two, in a star session late Monday njght, to repeal the ordinance which ' made illegal the sale of staple groceries on Sunday and which was wilfully violated throughout its presence pres-ence on the books by two prominent prom-inent Orem markets: Esquire's Top Hill Mart and Park's Super Market. The group met again Tuesday to sign the repealed ordinance or-dinance which was drafted by City Attorney Hugh Vern Wentz. Meanwhile Ray Park, operator operat-or of the Esquire Mart and Richard Rich-ard Park, operator of the Super Market, appeared before Judge Neils Anderson on Wednesday and pleaded guilty to charges of violating the ordinance on each Sunday since last July 23. Judge Anderson fined each of the defendants $400. The record shows that Councilman Coun-cilman A. A. Richards moved in Monday's closed session that the ordinance be repealed. The motion was seconded by Victor H. Durham. E. II. Johnson voted in favor of the motion, with Councilmen Woodruff Jensen and Philo T. Edwards voting against. In earlier, open council meetings meet-ings Mr. Jensen and Mr. Edwards Ed-wards declared that they opposed oppos-ed a change in the existing ordinance ord-inance until the courts had ruled on its validity. Mr. Wentz was instructed to place in the repeal ordinance published elsewhere in today's Orem-Geneva Times a saving clause which reserved the right to prosecute violators for infractions infrac-tions of the original ordinance. The Sunday closing ordinance was passed July 23, during the previous administration. Voting in favor of the closing at that time were Roy Gappmay er, J. George Stratton and E. E. Twitchell. The ordinance gained consid' erable attention throughout tha state because its constitutionality constitutional-ity was questioned by Ray and Richard Park. They appealed the decision of the Orem city court, were found guilty also by the district court, and had appealed the district court's d cision to the state supreme court. It is thought likely that they will not continue the case in the supreme court now that they have pleaded guilty in the city court. Judge Anderson's fines amount to approximately $13.73 for each violation of the ordinance ordin-ance while it was on the city books. The judge explained that in assessine the fines he had no intent to penalize the offenders, (but sought only to recoup the city s court costs which totalled approximately $800. Members of the city council and City Attorney Wentz were careful to point out that neither the council nor Mr. Wentz made any ' recommendations to the judge regarding their feelings on the amount the fines should be. A poll of Orem grocers today indicates that the repeal of the ordinance will make little difference dif-ference to actual practice among Orem's grocery stores. Most of the stores will continue closed each Sunday, while both the Esquire Es-quire Mart and Park's Super Market are expected to remain open as usual. PARENTS DAY HELD AT LINCOLN Parents Day was held at Lincoln Lin-coln high school today, according accord-ing to Mrs. George Boyce, PTA president.
