Several sites in Orem have j public health nurse. I Asked why she came to, Utah to work, Mrs. Beck said it was so that her daughter, Anne, could attend the BYU. "Both Anne and I love the scenery and climate of Utah," Mrs. Beck said. 'Most of all we enjoy having the beautiful mountains so close to us." Although Mrs. Beck has been very active in organizational nursing during the last several years, she is now quite willing to remain out of that activity at the insistence of her daughter.

Y , Public Health study at Vander-bilt Vander-bilt University, Nashville, Tenn., and Home Delivery Service at City Health department in New Orleans. Her last position before coming to Utah, was Clinic Director Dir-ector at Chicopee, Georgia. The public health nurse is a very importan part of our American Am-erican way of life.

This takes in as near as we can tell the center of the city and leaves 9500 feet on the south end, and 8200 feet on the north end that we expect ycu to finish next year, and I assure you that we are ready to install the curb and gutter when you are ready to complete the hard surfacing. "This project will cost Orem citizens better than $11,000 and this, I am sure you can see, wi'l cost us $2, where you are spending spend-ing $1, referring specifically to the dil from the main highway to the curb and gutter. "If you and our city committee commit-tee satisfy the people of this community, this 13,000 feet will have to be laid or this project will have to be .dropped. I am sure you realize if we are compelled com-pelled to give this job up at this time, it may be years before we can revive it. If you desire our commission to meet with you once more on this matter, let us hear from you promptly." It was revealed by the Btate road commission officials thc.t work on the $220,000 hign-way hign-way improvement project which will provide four lanes from Pleasant Grove to Provo, is slated slat-ed to commence by June 1.
