I , LEADERSHIP WEEK, MARCH 4-7, , EXPECTED TO DRAW THOUSANDS IJOthNorth to 20th South By O. G. SEMIT Girls, (single girls, that is) that great day is almost hero! Yes, next Sunday is Feb. 20, otherwise known as 'Leap Year Day'. It comes only once every four years, so don't let it go by this year without taking advantage advan-tage of it. There are too many eligible batchelors here in Orem who have been happy, though single for too long. Don't let this condition continue for another an-other four years. Pop the question quest-ion now! This wcex, Feb. 22-29, 'is brotherhood week. It seems to us that this week is, or should be, quite a bit more important than most other weeks, such as potato week, celery week, clean up week, etc. Tins is a big country. It har bors a lot of people. And it har- bors a lot ot prejudices, iiventho concluding day's program. : herein Orem we occasionally March 7. . see evidences of religious, racial ; and even political intolerance. Leadership Week will open j It is altogether fitting that we , take stock W ourselves this week and bring our prejudices out into the daylight to see if a careful inspection in the illumination illum-ination of truth and honesty will permit us to hide them again in the daik leeches of misunderstanding misunder-standing and half-knowledge. With the Geneva steel -plant just across the street from the Orem city limits one doesn't have to be a prophet to predict a rapid growth in Orem. People of all races, creeds and colors . are going to establish homes in ' Orem, They are going to our ! of their own. Their children are going to go to school with our I children. They are going to est-abl'sh est-abl'sh business which we will be obliged to patronize. In short we are going to associate with our new neighbors whether we like it or not. Wouldn't it be a fine thing if we all could honestly hon-estly accept them as equals, respecting re-specting them for their fine qual ities they contribute to our culture cul-ture and seeking their help in making Orem a better city. MEDALLION OF THE WEEK goes to tne Orem Junior Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce which purchased purch-ased an Emerson respirator t a cost of $550 for the use of the Orem Fire Department. The respirator res-pirator is a dual type device which can be used on two patients pa-tients at the same time. Lowell Biglow, secretary of the Jaycee volunteer firefighters, announced announc-ed today the respirator would be available for jise immediately. In the event the respirator is needed, an emergency call to the Orem Fire Department should be made. Around and About 'The city most likely to succeed" suc-ceed" is a statement being widely wide-ly circulated in the West concerning con-cerning Orem City. All eyes are focused on Orem, home of Geneva Gen-eva Steel, for developments which point toward the coming growth and expansion. Ground was broken this week for the new drive-in theatre in Orem to be located at 13th South and State. A crew "of men are on the job and bul-dozers are getting the site ready for the screen and listening posts. Plans and blueprints are being be-ing readied for two new businesses busi-nesses in Orem: a ' dairy retail store to be located just south of Spencer school, and a bowling alley to be built just south of Kirk's Drive-in. If all the rumors ru-mors concerning other busineses are founded on fact, then Orem should see a building boom this summer never before equaled.
