There you will see, any day of the week except Sunday, a man working at a table fixing a washing machine or perhaps an electric motor. The man you'll see is Ed Stubbe, the boss of Ed's Fix-It Fix-It Shop, and he'll be sitting in a wheel chair with a cast on one leg and flannel cloth wrapped wrap-ped around the other. "How did he come to be In a wheel chair?" is the question you'll ask. Well, here's the story. Four months ago Ed was out on a job, and while he was standing stand-ing on a porch getting ready to put his tools down the floor of the porch gave way and down went Ed, right through the hole. The result was a shattered right heel and a double compound fracture of the left leg. One broken leg is usually enough to dampen the spirits of anyone, and certainly two legs in casts would make things doubly difficult, but Ed has minimized his hardship and, with the help of his good wife, Ann, looks ahead to the future when he can stand on his own two feet again. In the meantime, with doctor bills and living expenses to be met, Ed tries to keep busy at the bench turning out expert repair work. Light welding, brazing, repairing sewing machines, mach-ines, washers, motors, etc. that's the kind of work Ed does. And his work is guaranteed, too. "If it can be fixed, ,Ed can fix it!" is the motto of Ed's Fix-It Fix-It Shop. And he means every word of it Mrs. Lloyd Pyne Named to Head Orem Red Cross Mrs. Lloyd Pyne was named this week as chairman of the Orem- chapter of the American Red Cross by Mayor J. W. Gill-man.

Orem Riding Club Saves Deer; Asks Dogs be Chained Orem Riding club members were on tneir norses during the past three weeks providmg relief for the Orem area's deer herds. Several hundred bales of hay have been packed into feeding areas on the face of Timpanogos, above Cbjistmas City in Provo canyon and above the Sharp Gillespie and Jess Smith farms in Edgemont. The group has procured hay from the state fish and game department, taken it by caterpillar cater-pillar into deer country and in many cases has packed it directly direct-ly to feeding areas on pack-horses. pack-horses. Members of the group who have participated in the feeding feed-ing program are Ray Hawkins, president, Roy Park, Jess Smith, Bud Smith, Jack Conder, Phil Conder, Garn Madsen, Chick Williams, Luzell Robbins, Ken Ercanbrack, Henry Williamson, Cliton Pyne, Clifford Pyne and others.

The group reports that right now the deer are in fair shape and with continued ihelp will not starve. Greatest menace to deer at present is dogs, according to Mr. Park and Mr. Smith. They report that on Tuesday nearly a dozen deer were killed by predatory pre-datory dogs. Even small dogs can destroy deer, according to officers of the group. The deer run from the barking dogs in the heavy snow and flounder and die from ex haustion. Club members are urging Orem people to their dogs and to account for keep them chained up if necessary du.ng the period of heavy snow.

LEGISLATIVE MILE-STONE REACHED AS OREM COUNCIL PASSES OIIE-IPDilEDTII ORDINANCE SINCE INCORPORATION By Clyde E. Weeks, Jr. , ' The year 1949, destined to be a crucial one in world affairs, aff-airs, takes on added significance to the people of Orem when it is brought to mind that thirty years ago this town of Orem was incorporated as a fourth class city. It was in 1919 that residents on what was then known as 'Provo Bench' decided decid-ed that the needs of the people could best be served by band- ins together under a corporate charter. An election was held and Lawrence Snow was elect- ed . president of the Town Board. Since that time grown from a strictly agricultural agricult-ural community of less than 1,000 population to a thriving agricultural-industrial city of 10,000 plus. During the thirty- year interim since the city was incorporated many improve- ments have been made for the betterment of its citizens. : Among these have been the organization of a metropolitan water district, extension of the, city limits, setting up a board! of health, making improvements to the water system, etc. Ordinances Necessary Few of these improvements could have been made legally, nor could any local regulation of civil conduct be earned out without the legal instrument called the ordinance. The ordinance ordin-ance is a formally phrased statement state-ment either authorizing action, prohibiting action, or regulating regulat-ing action, whose adoption, in the opinion of the city lawmaking lawmak-ing body, is necessary to the peace, health, safety and wel-far wel-far of the community. To be valid, the ordinance must be approved by the majority of the governing body, and thereupon, after publication in a newspaper newspap-er of general circulation in the community, it becomes law. Mile-Stone Reached A mile-stone in legislation was reached by Orem City last week with the passage and publication pub-lication of Ordinance No. 100. The event is doubly significant and historic inasmuch as Ordinance Ordin-ance No. 100 is the one which authorizes the issuance by Orem Or-em City of $136,000 in water revenue bonds to defray, in part, the cost of improving and repairing the existing waterworks water-works system and building a two-million gallon reservoir in Orem Although the incorporation , of Orem as a city took place in 1919 and ordinances were enacted en-acted subsequent to that time, the earliest ordinance on record in uik tiiy unices is wruiiiaiiLe , 1 J8' "lwas enacted creating and es'tab- revised ordinances of -the town of Orem relating to water rates. Signers of this ordinance were J. W. Gillman, president of the Town Board; Don Clayton, Clay-ton, A. V. Washburn, John E. Christensen and Ivern Pyne, trustee's; and N. A. Jacobsen, town clerk, City Limits Extended , The next legislation of note enacted by the Orem was ordin- ance No. 8 which extended the r Shoron Industries Holds Annual Membership Meeting The annual membership meeting meet-ing of the Sharon Industries was held on Wednesday evening in the Timpanogos ward chapel with President A.

That's the question being put daily to the County, Agricultural Office by residents of the Orem-Geneva area. The complete .answer to this question cannot be given yet, but this is the best information concerning the subject available at the present time: Peaches and apricots are most likely to be seriously damaged by this unusual weather. The nearest comparable weather on record was in January, 1937. A look at carlot shipments of peaches from the state covering a year either side of 1937 gives us these figures: 459, 19, 426. The same figures trom Utah County are 261, 0, and 259. The same figures for cherries on a state basis are 50, 54, 95. For Utah County, 18, 12 and 29. For pears on a state basis 20, 1, 29. For Utah County 20, 1, and 29. For apples on a state basis 201, 40, 263. For Utah County 157, 32, 232. For a total of all fruit on a state basis TJ0, 126, 900. Utah County 456, 45, 552. As we look at these figures, we have to remember that February, Feb-ruary, March, April and even May with its spring frosts all had something to do about the size of the crops. And even the marget has something to do a-bout a-bout the number of cars shipped. No account is taken of local market consumption. While no peaches were shipped from Utah Ut-ah County in 1937, the local market was supplied. So these figures do not mean all that a quick look at them seems to suggest. From notes and field observations obser-vations of 1937, most of the blame for a poor crop of peaches peach-es is attributed to the winter freeze. The poor crop of pears and apples was due to spring frosts and weather conditions at blossom time. The good showing made by cherries is due to the fact that many young orchards were just coming into production product-ion and in spite of some winter and spring weather damage, the state crop was bigger in '37 than '36. All that can be said about the damage the weather has done to date this year is that it has done some damage. The fact that soil is not frozen and is filled with water so that trees can get all the moisture they need is a point in favor of less damage than would occur if the soil was frozen. In spite of speculations and comparisons of other years if Is still a question how much damage dam-age the weather has done to the fruit in this area, according to the agricultural department. Timp Wildlife Grqup bets Election Meeting Monday Annual election of officers and establishment of an organization organ-ization to feed the area's wildlife, wild-life, will be the principal older of business of the Timpanogos Wildlife federation meeting set for the Orem City hall on Monday Mon-day at 7 p.m. Jack Conder, federation president, pres-ident, reports that already the group has done a great deal in feeding the deer and pheasant of the area, but that the situation situat-ion is still critical and much will need to be done if the deer herds near here are to survive the winter. Mayor Gillman reported that Orem had received its portion of the state liquor profits winch amounts to $3,295. This money can be used only for public af-ety, af-ety, he pointed out. South Leads North In Membership Drive Competition Orem's "Southerners" are out in front of the city's "Yankees" in the Orem Chamber of Commerce Com-merce membership drive, according ac-cording to Bill Baker, president of the chamber, who reported Thursday that the drive was 80 percent completed and that more than 70 percent of the business and professional men of the community were responding respond-ing favorably to the annual drive. Climax of the drive will be a gala social and dinner meeting of the new and old members of the chamber on Monday hight at the Silver Star Cafe. Winners in the drive will be feted by the losers at the meeting, and unless the "Northerners" rally this weekend they will have feer members than have already been signed up by the membership member-ship committee for South Orem, jacording to Baker. The dinner meeting is set for 7:30. A feature of Monday's mtt- iing will be awarding of honor- lary membership to City Councilman Coun-cilman A. A. Richards, who will be guest of honor. The chamber officers named for the exceptional service he and his members of the city road department depart-ment have done in keeping Orem streets clear of snow during dur-ing the past month. Lionel Fairbanks, tormer chamber president, has been j named as master of ceremonies. Spcial music will be furnished by a local string band. i Only scheduled business for the meeting, according to ftfr. Baker, is the changing of the city's name to Geneva. i The membership committee for South Orem was headed by Victor C- Anderson, Ray Hanks and Joseph T. Smith. For North Orem the committee was headed head-ed by Allen Johnson, George Stratton and Horace Bean. g:"j::g:l sets i? cjaity fl::3 Business of the Orem City Council at its meeting Wednesday Wednes-day night included the setting up of a Special Improvement Guaranty Fund, setting of garbage gar-bage ratea and a discussion of the city water system. The icouncil estabOIsUpd, fof the first time in Orem, a Special Spec-ial Improveme ntGuaranty fund as provided by law in order to market the Curb and Gutter District bonds- This fund will be created by appropriating from the general fund or by a tax levy of not more than one mill per year. Mayor J. W. Gillman announced announc-ed that $3,858.25 had been collected col-lected from property owners on curb and gutter assessments on or before January 31, 1949. No interest will be charged on this amount, he said. To raise funds to complete payment of the $40,920.00 on the curb and gutter the council passed an ordinance authorizing authoriz-ing the city to issue $37,061.75 in special improvement bonds jat four percent interest A discussion of garbage rates to be charged by the city garr bage department resulted in setting the monthly rates as rol-lows: rol-lows: $1.00 per family in an apartment; $1.50 per home if garbage is not placed in front of the house; $2 00, $5.00 or $7-50 for business houses, according to the amount collected and the I number of pick-ups per week. iThe council stressed the fact 'that the garbage department. health department and fire department de-partment would work together to see that the garbage situation is handled properly. Leonard Beckman, city engineer, engin-eer, presented plans and tentative tentat-ive bids on several types of fabricated fab-ricated reservoirs for possible use by Orem City. He also presented pre-sented a plan of his own design of a two million gallon reservoir reser-voir which, he said, could be built at least $10,000 cheaper than any other kind. The council coun-cil took the matter under advisement. |
