Florists at the Orem Flower Shop and at Tony's Floral have been fearful that the warm weather might hasten the growth of the buds and plants only to be killed by a late frost. We've noticed a lot of activity at the site of the Geneva Supply company's new building this week. The walls are going up fast and it won't be long before Chick Swan will be doing business bus-iness at the same old stand. His friends and neighbors are glad that he is able" to rebuild, after his recent disastrous fire. AROUND AND ABOUT One of the most amusing incidents in-cidents that has developed in Or-em's Or-em's volunteer fire department occurred Sunday .night at about 11 at 10th South and State. The Fire Chief lit a pile of boxes and other inflammable material mater-ial in the empty lot just north of Christeele Acres. He then went back to the fire station and sounded the fire alarm. No less than 20 Jaycee volunteer firemen fire-men responded to the call-some getting out of bed to do so. Residents Res-idents from surrounding houses were quick to take vantage points, some of them being be-ing women in fancy night gowns and other sleeping apparel.Some of the firemen remarked that h was really worth the xrip to see the ludicrous sight presented present-ed by certain women in various stages of undress, face cream and curlers. BE GLAD YOU'RE YOU DEPT.

It has been a long time since we have encountered an item of such disgusting human hum-an degradation as this. Makes us glad we're living in a civilized civiliz-ed country and a morally conscious con-scious community. LIFE INSURANCE We were glad to hear this week that steps are being taken to protect the innocent male driver In this area. The Alpine School District is giving driving instruction and training to approximately app-roximately 450 tenth grade students. Of this number let's hope that at least half are Mrls. We don't say that women drivers driv-ers are a menace on the highway but somehow they have gotten that unfortunate reputation. Anyhow, the state Highway Patrol Pat-rol is cooperating, and a regular dual control car has been secured secur-ed for use from the Provo Elks club. Two competent drivers nave been hired by the school district to take charge of the cars and give, instruction to the students. Instruction has been completed at the American Fork high school and at the Pleasant rove high school The cars are now at use at the Lincoln high school.

SPOTLIGHTING UTAH Salina Makes Bid For New Industry Salina, strategically located near the center of Utah, is seeking seek-ing industrial development. In consequence, the Salina Lions Club has spent time and effort to gather facts and information that would induce industrial leaders to investigate their community. com-munity. Besides being the second sec-ond largest shipping point for range cattle in the U. S., Salina is on three major highways, is served daily by bus lines and railroad, and has a modern airfield air-field under development. Salina has ample electrical power, producing coal mines, nearby forests, adequate culinary culi-nary water, modern schools, healthful climate, and more than seventy busness establishments The area has excellent ra.vea-tional ra.vea-tional facilities. Its industrial activities ac-tivities include clay and limes mining with a huge plaster manufacturing man-ufacturing plant nearby.

Britiih Photographer Wants Utah Scenes Word has been received by the Utah Department of Publicity Publi-city from one E. O. Hoppe, an eminent British photographer, who states that he once had a complete file of photos on Utah scenic attractions, but that during dur-ing the war they were destroyed by German bombs. "I know Utah well," he says, "and have very pleasant memories of my prewar pre-war visits there." He then requests re-quests numerous photos relative to Utah scenic attractions for use in illustrated lectures and 'articles. 'ar-ticles. Motion Picture Filming Brings Money Inl- Utah "Thar'a gold in them thar hills," the theme song of the old prospector applies to more than the mining industry, the acknowledged leading financial bulwark of the state. It was in 1915 that a major motion picture company discovered discov-ered Utah "and made "Covered Wagon," the first movie produced produc-ed in Utah. Since then somo fifty-odd pictures have been produced pro-duced in the state. It is interesting, however, to note that Mr. John Ford, the famous producer of "My Darling Clementine," "War Party," and other well-known movies filmed in Utah, told Rulon S. Howells, Commissioner of the Utah Department De-partment of Publicity and Industrial In-dustrial Development, in a re cent conversation in Hollywood that his company has spent $950, 000 in Utah while filming various vari-ous pictures. On this basis it is conservatively conserva-tively estimated that the motion picture industry has already spent ten million dollars in Utah since movies were first made here. With several major producers pro-ducers already scanning Utah for picture making this season, .t is a safe bet that a flood of motion picture money will again be released re-leased in southern Utah areas this summer. Following is a list of famous pictures filmed in Utah scenic wonderlands: 1922 Deadwood Coach; Shepherd of the Hills in 1924; 1924 Plastered in i-aris; 1924 Ramona; 1915 Covered TIGERS DROP THRILLER TO , BYHS TO BOUNCE FROM TITLE RACE Early Morning Fire Hits Orem Cash Store Orem's first fire of the week struck the Orem Cash Store at 3 a.m. this morning when an electric motor caught fire and threatened the destruction of the entire building.

Lincoln high school's hopes for a state tournament basket ball berth were blasted Tuesday on the wing of a side court shot by Don Mcintosh, BYHS for ward. Mcintosh tanked a two-pointer two-pointer in the last 10 seconds of play against the Tigers to win a victory for his team, 47-46, in a game whicn nad a pacKea Women's gym gasping for relief. It was a heart-breaker foi the Tigers. In what was probably their best basketball of the year, they pulled ahead of the BYHS team in the final minutes of play and sported a one-point lead with 25 seconds to play, nui u was not enough. The Wildcats fought back and set up a shot for Mcintosh which was good for the victory. For the locals big Ted Allen was the man who kept the Tigers in the ball game. He dropped several corner shots at crucial periods in the game and tanked nine of 12 free throws to boost his total to 19 points, the best score of the evening. Jack Fereuson Dlayed brilliant ball also, as did LaVell Edwards and Kay Baker. It was Baker's free throw in the final minutes of Dlav which Dut the Tigers ahead for what appeared to be an ample margin of victory. The victory puts BYHS and American Fork in the likely spots to fight it out for a tourney berth. Pleasant Grove has almost cinched the Alpine championship and will doubtless be the division's divi-sion's number one team. The Tigers dropped behind In the second quarter when the Wildcats solved the locals' zone defense and ran the score to 27-20, 27-20, but Coach Mel Briggs switch ed his men to a man-to-man de fense in the third period and they went ahead, 36-35 at the end of the canto.
