We should have our lights, battery and heater inspected to be sure they are in good condition for bad weather." Records of the Orem police department, he said, indicate! that the principal causes for the very high winter accident rates are poor visibility and inadequate inade-quate traction-.

P. arnick of the Orem high school announced today. to-day. Providing that Davis and Witt Construction Co. is able to secure adequate building materials, mater-ials, the new structure should be completed in the stipulated 158 days, or at least in time for school next year, he said. The new $123,000 building is being constructed of brick and concrete and will be 52 feet ide by 184 feet in length. The structure will not house a chemistry laboratory, as previously pre-viously announced, but will contain con-tain an agriculture room, farm shop room, art room and two lavatories. Tentative plans call for the remodeling of the present industrial in-dustrial arts and shop rooms in the main school building upon the completion of the new facilities, fac-ilities, according to Mr. War-nick.

AIR ATTACK LICKS REGIONAL PLAYOFF Lincoln high school's defending defend-ing state champ gridders let another crack at the title slip through their fingers Saturday when they lost a heart breaker to Judge Memorial high school by the narrowest of margins, 13-14, on the local gridiron. The Lincoln Tigers, superior to the winners on the ground and at least equal in the air lanes, lost the game on a letdown let-down in pass defense.

The industrial arts room will be converted to a library, lib-rary, leaving the present library free for use as a classroom. The farm shop now in use will be made into a band room. This will clear the upstairs music room, and, as was originally planned, it will be partitioned and used as class rooms.

In fairness to all, though, it must be admitted that the problems pro-blems mentioned are not to be entirely laid to the owners of small plantings. Occasionally a grower of not so small plantings plant-ings is guilty of adding to these problems. Laws intended to do these very things are now on the statute stat-ute books of the state. But laws of force and prohibition are poor solutions to such problems-The problems-The only way to handle them is to offer a plan whereby small and large plantings can be made consistently profitable and whereby uncared for plantings become so costly a grower cannot can-not afford to keep them. Such a plan can be offered in this case.

The pay-off drive started in midfield and Ralph Willett and Dale Reeves alternated alter-nated in a series of line plays and end sweeps which ended in a beautifully-executed play which saw Clint Lewis take a fake from Willett, then streak 12 yards for a touchdown. The Tigers chose to let Willett Will-ett buck the line for the extra point, but the alert Judge Memorial Mem-orial team anticipated the play and stopped the husky Tiger inches short of the line. The play turned out to be the crucial cruc-ial point of the " game for " it marked the difference in the scores.

The monument, mon-ument, which was sponsored by the Grand View Camp DUP and was built by Lawrence Gibson, Gib-son, stands at the site of the first cemetery on Provo Bench. The monument is made of historical rocks contributed by members of the camp. A bronze plaque on the front was carved by Kate B. Carter, and bears the following inscription: "PIONEER CEMETERY" "During the years between I860 and 1879 this plot of ground was used as a burial place for the pioneers. It was the junction , where three farms joined A child of Joseph Thompson was the first person interred, but as the owners objected to their land being used as a burial grounds some of the bodies were moved to the present cemetery but several remain here.

A manager was hired to locate both fresh and processing markets for the fruit. Many of the members are industrial in-dustrial workers, either full or part-time. Some have as little as a quarter acre of berries. An arrangement ' of this kind permits a close grading of berries ber-ries so that only the best appearing appear-ing packs need be offered the fresh market. Small or overripe over-ripe berries are nearly as good for the processing market. It is possible for a grower marketing organization to establish es-tablish such a reputation among consumers that a high per cent of fresh berries can be sold retail re-tail at the assembly plant. Or the organization could arrange to deliver to established retail organizations fresh berries every ev-ery day, under an agreement to take back for processing purposes, pur-poses, any unsold berries of the previous day. Under such an agreement the retailer could afford af-ford to handle the berries for a much smaller margin, have a LIBRARY BENEFIT BALL FROGEEDS TO BE USED "The Orem Library benefit ball held here recently was a I success in every way," Mrs. E. II. Johnson, chairman of the library lib-rary board announced oday. "From the cash receipts that are coming in over and above expenses, and the comments that have been heard about the enjoyable evening, the library lib-rary board feels that the benefit bene-fit was thoroughly worthwhile, both socially and financially," Mrs. Johnson said. Although some of the organizations organ-izations whose members assist ed in ticket sales have not yet turned in their money to the library board, $220-40 above ex-' penses has been received to date which money will go towards to-wards the purchase of new books for the library, according accord-ing to Mrs. Johnson. Quite a bit of money is still out yet which will be added to this amount. Encouraged by the support given by Orem civic organizations organiza-tions in the tickets sales and the general public in buying I tickets, Mrs. Johnson announc ed plans to make the library benefit ball an annual affair. "As long as Orem City is unable un-able to purchase the needed new books to keep the library up-to-date, we feel that in this way, with the continued cooperation cooper-ation of Orem citizens, we can make the library increasingly valuable to everyone maintaining maintain-ing a constant flow of current literature onto the shelves," Mrs. Johnson said- A meeting of the library board will be held in the near future to select the books to be purchased for the library at this time, according to Mrs. Johnson- A number of recent children's books will be pur- V. j : .jjm: A 1 i t: l titles- The library will get ai special puDiisner's raie ior an books purchased, she said. fcounty presidency.

But properly planned and managed and with a systematic effort at marketing, the small fruit planting plant-ing can become a profitable and serviceable enterprise.
