Semit The Orem businessmen are hoping that this fine weather keeps up for a while. It seems that poor business is directly proportional pro-portional to bad weather. Whenever When-ever it is snowing or raining you can rest assured that very few hardy souls venture to Orem business houses. Around and About Latest rumor is that a new motel is planned for just across the street from the new drive-in theatre. We wouldn't be surprised surpris-ed if it were true. A very puzzling and amusing thin happened in Orem this:o young lady received a beautiful wedding bouquet made of loses and orchids, and no card was attached at-tached telling who the seoder might be. The young lady is T.ot engaged, nor has she any immediate im-mediate intentions of marriage. She phoned the florist who made the bouquet to find out who sent it, but the name didn't mean a thing to her. The whole incident is still a mystery to the girl, her family, the florist and us. It is probably no mystery to the sender sen-der at alP.

Gillman, members of the City Council and civic clubs and other interested parties living in the area were seal copies of the resolution. The resolution reads as follows: fol-lows: Whereas, We recognize the seriousness of planning on economy econ-omy for an industrial and commercial com-mercial society. Support from every source is needed if the great forward steps are to be taken in the establishment of 3 prosperous and thriving community. com-munity. Requests are being made every day which call for drastic change in our social order. or-der. Whereas, Areas must be provided pro-vided for the construction of homes, duplex dwellings, and apartment houses. Economy can best be served if areas are located locat-ed on or near water and huwer mains. New streets will have to be provided if the new industrial indust-rial and commercial economy expands. Loaning, companies re fuse to loan where good mOney in areas streets have not been provided. Whereas, An area lying be-j tween 400 north and 400 south is needed for immediate use. The first essential step needed to open this area for residential use is to open Center street. (1) It is the city's main street running east and west, and leads to the main office building of the Steel Plant. (2) It would provide pro-vide much better fire protection for the area. (3) For this area many requests have been received receiv-ed for home building on a large scale. (4) The Sharon ward has purcnasrtl land in tins area, one or me uses will be the erection oi a wara cnapei. (o tins area has been considered for the ion- struction of a hospital. ((!) This ,arca can be serviced with water ! and sewer with a minimum, ost j of construction. (7) Good fire pro I lection is easily provided, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL- VED: That the Orem Chamber of Commerce go on record as favoring the opening of Center Slreet. We consider it one of the urgent needs of this community, and we tender our cooperative services to the City Council in support of opening the street. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED. 'That copies of this resolution be sent to the Mayor and City Coun cil, also to each of the various clubs, and others liying in the area who may be interested. It is hoped that this will stimulate others to take like action. Adopted this 29lh day of March, 1948, Orem City, Utah.

OF C, IMES BID FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOL A move by the Orem Chamber of Commerce to locate the projected pro-jected vocational school in Orem was made this week when Governor Gov-ernor Herbert B. Maw and other Utah state and Utah county officials of-ficials were sent copies of a communication com-munication addressed to W. W.

The letter, which is accompan- ied by a sectional map showing the proposed site for the school at 20th South and State Street, reads as follows: Dear Mr. Sorensen: There have been rumors during dur-ing the past few days that the Vocational School is still looking for a site upon which to locate. In justice to the school, Provo, BYU, the Geneva Steel plant andNeff consulting engineer, and I Orem City, we have the location Note the accompanying sketch, it is understood that the State will give their land to you. The Camenish land added to the State land should make an ideal location. This location would show consideration for the greatest great-est number of those interested. Orem is the fastest growing city in the West and will be the largest city in the valley within five years. This point of view is not ourf, but it cornfs from many reliable sources, both within the state and out. In the year 1941 our assessed valuation was $G.')4,810. In 1947 it w;6 $2,779,243. It will double in valuation this year. Yours for serving the best Interests In-terests of all.
