MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months $2.00 NUMBER ONE NEED There arose at Tuesday's noon meeting of the Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce a question which can well stand some investigation and thought by every progressive Orem citizen. Chamber members are pretty well agreed that housing hous-ing is the number one need in Orem-housing for persons employed at Geneva, housing for persons who want to establish businesses in Orem, and housing for new business bus-iness establishments in Orem. It was natural for the question to arise at Tuesday's meeting: are there ample building lots for sale and available avail-able for such housing needs? 1 Strangely enough, in Orem's 25 square miles of incorporated incor-porated area, few building lots are for sale and available. One real estate dealer suggested at the meeting that the reason for that condition could be found largely in the city ordinances here which make it difficult for persons owning property to offer it for sale as building lots. Restrictions Res-trictions as to size of plots which may be offered for sale sale of water rights, procurement of utilities, etc., had discouraged the sale of individual lots by most Orem landowners. That may not be bad. Mayor J. W. Gillman was quick to point out that the ordinances which control the size and standard of Orem buildup lots were passed thoughtfully with an eye to preventing the haphazard growth of Orem. Certainly the city's growth needs direction, dir-ection, and it wouldn't do to permit the indiscriminate sale of building lots and indiscriminate building through out the city. However, there may be some happy compromise possible pos-sible which would encourage the sale of building lots without permitting indiscriminate selling of choice property prop-erty or the indiscriminate building of homes in the city. So long as building and housing represent the city's greatest needs, every reasonable effort should be made to insure that no unnecessary restrictions hamper those ready to invest money in Orem for building purposes. t won't be long beautiful Spring just (we hope). and joy (the family car) "super-duper" products Here's what "the doctor car life: Pep 88 Gasoline or Quaker State LhTjJ Lubrication and Accessories and regular check-ups.

A movie actor had just remarked, dead-pan: "I've heard people say that we would have a more efficient government govern-ment without Congress." A very serious point was contained in that statement, which apparently struck spectators as a humorous jibe at lawmakers, present and not present. It is somewhat of an American custom to poke fun at our elected officials. Some steam is released that way, like the blowing off of a safety valve. That's all right. But that any sane American should suggest sug-gest doing away with Congress is no laughing matter. You might as well say that we ought to give up our democratic way of life, in the interest of greater efficiency. One would be equivalent to the other. But who wants an efficient tyranny? Our Safeguard I am going to say that I appreciate appre-ciate Congress. I am not ashamed to say it Moreover, I am concerned that there are those who fail to recognize rec-ognize the essential dignity and worth of this branch of our government. govern-ment. Out of the welter of political turmoil in Washington, I think there is stiU room for a healthy respect for what our Congress does. And we must never forget that Congress represents the will of the people, of the majority. Congress is a mighty safeguard. When any Congressional session Is over, try looking back over the record. It will usually surprise you how much was accomplished. Especially Espe-cially so, if you are one of those Americans who like to chant: "Why, oh why, doesn't Congress do something?" some-thing?" Accomplished Much , When the recent Congress adjourned ad-journed in late July, final action had been taken on at least 17 major issues. This was an array of achievements, achieve-ments, when you recall that this Congress was the first new Congress following the war. Action was taken on presidential tenure and succession, labor man- j agement relations, portal-to-portal pay, excise and social security taxes, National Science Foundation, continuation of the R.F.C. and the C.C.C., crop Insurance, continuation of certain subsidies, Army-Navy ! unification, cashing of terminal leave bonds, executive reorijiza- j tion, continuation of flfjl class postal pos-tal rates. it? tuntrol, and termination termina-tion iii existing credit regulations. A Thankless Task This Congress was also economy-minded. economy-minded. It should be credited with saving between $2 and $3 billion for taxpayers, despite widespread "scare" tactics of a powerful and well-mtbilized bureaucracy. Considering Consid-ering the fact that the American people already spend more for governmentlocal, gov-ernmentlocal, state, and national than they spend for food, we should be grateful to an economy-minded economy-minded Congress. Fateful problems will face this same Congress in its special session and the regular session to foUow. Our sincere commendation should go to legislators for their efforts, and for their sincere public service. Their thankless but necessary persistence per-sistence will remain necessary as long as we wish to maintain this Eepublic.
