Semlt We always try to avoid des-1 trucuve cnusni, um uuw -while we do give a little constructive con-structive criticism, and this, we think, falls under that catagory: Orem City owns and uses several trucks and automobiles in the course of operating the city, among which are two late model police cars and a brand-new brand-new pick-up truck. None of I these vehicles nave any iaenu-i iaenu-i f ication of any kind to show I whose they are, or where they : are from. Wouldn't it be an in-! in-! expensive way to advertise I Orem by designing an attractive ! emblem, combining perhaps a f nice red apple, or bushel of s apples) and a Geneva steel ! smokestack, and painting orjte ! on each side of city-owned cars ' and trucks over the caption 1 "Orem City -Where Big Steel 5 Meets Fine Agriculture." It's I just a suggestion. How about I some cards from readers con-! con-! cerning this idea? SEEN AND HEARD In the years to come we are I going to remember this as the winter of the big snow. The 'weather men say more snow has fallen this year than has ever been recorded bfore. We've about a few roofs that have fallen fal-len in with the weight of the snow, but the only one wev'e seen is at the Orem Roller Rink. The entire south half of the building has caved in. Mr. Ripley Rip-ley will be interested in knowing know-ing about the only place in the world where you can roller skate and ice skate at the same rink! We attended the meeting of Mount A' Lake Assn. last Friday Fri-day night and were very encouraged en-couraged to see so many members mem-bers out.- The local cooperative has had some tough times and expensive experience behind it. The new-enthusiasm shown by , the members seems to indicate a more successful operation. You've got to hand it to the ( snow-plow men They've really burned the midnight oil getting 'and keeping Orem's roads clear-' clear-' ed in the snow emergency. i We've heard lots of comment on this from out-of-towners. MAIL BAG Dear Mr. Semit: This is a letter of appreciation for the wor kour fine school traffic patrolmen are doing in this bitter weather. J Fred Thorne patrols the traffic traf-fic and children at the Lincoln intersection where our children ; cross to go to school. He certainly cer-tainly deserves a pat on the back for his faithful service during this cold, snowy weather. ; I can see him through my kitchen kitch-en window and I don't believe he has missed a single day this winter. J Ray Carruth -s the school traffic patrolman at Sharon I school. Although our children don't attend Sharon, I am sure ; that he is rendering, loyal ser-vice ser-vice during this cold weather. Although I speak personally, I am sure I speak for all the parents par-ents who have children crossing 'at these dangerous places when I say, "Thank you, from the bot- torn of our hearts for a wonder ful job."

The only difficulty confronting the library board was the fact that no money had been provided provid-ed in the city budget at the be- check of $80.00 for the libra rian's salary, thus assuring the opening and continued operation opera-tion of the library. The official re-opening of the Orem library took place just two years ago this week, eight years after its first opening. When, after a few months, the library's benefactor could no longer finance the library, other interested citizens and or ganizations came to the rescue with financial aid. Prominent among these was the Orem Lions club, Orem Womens club and Orem Literary club.
