Show oREM- GENEVA TIMES THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1943 ! SENATOR WATKINS REPORTS- This has been a hectic week course, is as well known to you now as it is to me and to other members of the Congress. In Washington. Let me give you the headlines. First in imrjortance was the President's special message to Congress on the European situation. situa-tion. As a hold-over in interest, we had the vote on the European Recovery Program. Then, at the week's end, the Senate entered into a vigorous discussion of the tax reduction bill. And, of more local interest to people in Utah, was the passage of the Provo River bill by the House of Representatives, Rep-resentatives, followed by the enactment en-actment by the Senate of the bill amending the War Surplus Disposal Dis-posal Act In such a way that cities, universities, states, and other public organizations would have the priority in the purchase of property such as Fort Douglas. Doug-las. Of great importance to the eastern part of the state, particularly par-ticularly Uintah and Duchesne counties, was the favnrab,' - port from the Bureau of the Budget on the Roosevelt-Uintah Indian High School bill. The President's special message mes-sage to the joint session of both houses of Congress was dramatic as usually these presentations are. The Capitol was not prepared pre-pared for the surprise announcement announce-ment that the President would address the joint session. The publicity build-up, while it lasted last-ed only a few days, was terrific. All sorts of conjectures were going go-ing the rounds. It is unfortunate the advance publicity was so strong, because the actual performance, per-formance, while very important probably ,'epoch-makingi did not live up to the advance billing. bill-ing. What the President said, of My first reaction and it was the reaction of numerous of my colleagues in the Senate, was that the President didn't tell us anything new, except the proposal pro-posal for a limited draft. Even this had been bruited around Washington for many months. To speak frankly, the general impression among members of Congress was that the special message fell flat. Congress is split in all directions over the proposals These differences cut across party lines The principal criticism heard in off-the-record talks was that the President gave no new facts not already known to the public. The Presi-ident Presi-ident could have told us and the world, for instance, what is known about the Soviet troops their concentration, and how they are now so deployed as to be an absolute menace to our holdings in Germany and Austria. Aus-tria. Congress feels that at least the public should be told the facts as they really exist, . at least all that is well-known to the Russians. Not by way of prediction, but an indication of what is likely to occur, Universal Military Training will be reported out of committee in the Senate and will face a hot fight in both the Senate and the House. Its pas sage is doubtful. Revival of lim ited selective draft is entirely possible. In fact, I think it will be adopted. The House will un doubtedly pass within a few days the European Recovery Program substantially as it left the Senate. Sen-ate. Appropriations for the Arm- Recreation Program (Continued from Page One) could be planted with trees this cqming summer. Plans were proposed pro-posed whereby 100 families might each contribute a tree and help plant it at a special Arbor day celebration at the Orem City parks. More Playgrounds It was also agreed that one of the crying needs for the welfare of the youngsters of Orem City was to have more playgrounds. It was recommended and unanimously unani-mously approved that Orem City should place a levy in the regular regu-lar budget for recreation and in order to secure ground for play areas before it was too late and that bonds be floated for the purchase of these facilities. Teen Canteen The group also unanimously supported a proposal to establish a youth canteen center to be held two or three evenings per week during the summer. It was thought that the new recreation room being completed in the Lincoln high school building might be secured for this purpose. ed Services will also be stepped up. This is a foregone conclusion. conclu-sion. When I introduced the Provo River Bill in the Senate on January Jan-uary 19, I expected it would go through in" a reasonable time, but I was not quite prepared for the speed with which it was reported re-ported out of committee, passed by the Senate and finally through the committees in the House, and then its final enactment enact-ment by the House on March 17.

Coon, head of the furniture and appliance store in Provo that bears his name, believes in "keeping in tune with public opinions." Beginning this year, he has come out with his "price in surance" plan, which guuran tees the customers that for a period of 100 days after the purchase of any home appli ance. Coon will refund any reductions in retail price made by manufacturers during dur-ing that period. Prompt response to this unusual un-usual program is expected from furniture buyers in Orem Or-em and Utah County. Mr. Coon believes that his 100-day price guarantee counteracts any thinking on the part of the consumer that retail prices are going to drop within the near future. Also, incorporated in this plan is' the fact that should manufacturer's manufac-turer's prices increase during that period, the customer will Valley Mortuary Sets Formal Opening Sunday Open for public inspection Sunday between 2 and 10 p.m. will be the Valley Mortuary, deluxe structure on Third South and First East streets of Provo which has been under construe-! tion for nearly a year, and which is easily the most spacious, and ( elaborate funeral home in central cen-tral Utah.

Aura C. Hatch, Provo's chamber cham-ber of commerce president and prominent civic leader, is president presi-dent of the Valley Mortuary corporation. cor-poration. He reports that the design de-sign of the new building is the result of nearly 10 years of study and observation. During the past several years Mr. Hatch has collected ideas on mortuary arrangement and design from all over the West and has used the ideas in planning the plant. Other officers in the company are LeRoy Johnson of Provo, Walter M. Rigby of Payson and Wm. R. Jex of Spanish Fork. Construction of the spacious and modern mortuary in the Central Utah area is an expression expres-sion by the grouo of the faith they hold in the growth and development of Utah county and vicinity. OREM C OF C HEARS GENEVA OFFICIAL AT TUESDAY MEET OVELY Charles F. Waggoner, superintendent super-intendent of Geneva Steel, on Tuesday told Orem Chamber of Commerce members that the company's roots were going deep in Utah, and that more and more the plant was being run on Utah raw mateirals. He declared de-clared that the plant could now operate entirely on materials available in the intermountain area. Other speakers at Tuesday's meeting at the Silver Star were Roy Park and Mayor J. W. Gill-man. Gill-man. Fred Davies, chamber president, pres-ident, conducted the meeting. Business of the group included the adoption of a resolution which stated that the chamber would bacK the urem post oi tne American Legion in securing the construction of a veteran's memorial building and civic center. cen-ter. It was revealed that approximately ap-proximately $20,000 is now available to the Legion for construction con-struction purposes. Mr. Waggoner said that from the standpoint of the plant's employes, em-ployes, Utah was a favorite a-mong a-mong all of the United States Steel properties He said that U. S. Steel people liked Utah because be-cause it was a growing area and provided a frontier for additional addition-al pioneering. He declared that there could be no doubt about the steel plant and the industry becoming a major factor in the future of Orem and the state. With regard to the' possibility of additional industries coming into the area, Mr. Waggoner said that the area already had sufficient suf-ficient challenge. He said that the present industrialization represented rep-resented plenty of room for growth and improvement. Concerning the production cutbacks of the past 10 days due to coal mine strikes, he said that the coal lack made conditions condi-tions difficult at the plant.
