Semlt Mother's Day is Sunday and loving sons and daughters are thinking of ways to make the day a happy one for their mothers. moth-ers. Tony's Floral and the Orem Flower Shop have been rushed this week preparing for Moth er"s Day. Flowers always make such lovely remembrances, whether it is a fragrant corsage or a colorful potted plant. . Yes, everyone loves Mother, but chances are she is too often allowed to prepare a big dinner on Mother's Day for the whole family when she should be taking tak-ing it easy. We understand that Orems cafes are preparing some really special dinners for Sunday. Why not plan on giv ing Mother a break on Her day and take the whole family out to dinner? Good Newt Orem's fire defense system was in for a pat on the back this week with the news fcrom the Utah Fire Rating Bureau that substantial reduction has been made in fire insurance rates here. According to the Utah Ut-ah Fire Rating Bureau a grading grad-ing of Orem's fire defense sy stem by the Board of Fire Underwriters Und-erwriters of the Pacific resulted in the classification of National Board Class 8 in the principal Orem mercantile areas' whore hydrants are fairly well distri buted, and Class 9 in the reside ential areas where hydrants are scattered. Since the Underwriters report was made, inspectors from the Utah Bureau have inspected individually all specifically rated rat-ed mercantile, school and industrial indus-trial buildings wth the result that reductions of gross fire insurance in-surance rates ranging from 6 percent on masonry mercantile buildings to 13 percent on frame buildings have been placed in effect as of January 1, 1949. Additional reductions for certain cer-tain Orem stores were promised if specfied fire prevention measures are taken. Mail Bag Dear Mr. Semit. I wonder if everyone who travels or lives on Orem's State Street is as disgusted with the clouds of dust that blankets cars, homes and people as I am. If you ask me, it's a disgrace for the contractor to leave the road in working on it. My husband is a contractor and we have worked work-ed on road jobs in other states where they require the contract-or contract-or to oil or wet the road being constructed before leaving the Job at night. Why that isn't required re-quired here is beyond me. And another thing. Just try to wive down State Street at night without having a few near accidents accid-ents as a result of inadequately "gnted road blocks. If someone ?n,t injured as a result of poor lighting here I'll miss my guess. How about some positive action act-ion on these two situations, Pronto? A Reader ptIL1CREST.

The day was proclaimed as a park work day by Mayor J. W. Gillman and stores Were closed during the afternoon to enable complete participation by the citizenry. The 29 acres on the Timpan-ogos Timpan-ogos slope of Provo canyon one mile from the canyon's mouth, was transformed by the planting plant-ing of early 200 trees, the trimming trim-ming of the trees already on the site, the leveling of an area for a ball diamond, the clearing of underbrush, and a start on the construction of a road to circle the park. In addition to the park program pro-gram in the canyon, trees were provided for planting at the Town Hall city park, which planting program was under way Wednesday. Heading the work day activities activit-ies were Mayor Gillman and his general committee which comprises com-prises J. George Stratton, president pres-ident of the chamber of commerce; commer-ce; Roy Park. Lions club; Vic Durham, city council; Fred Fielding, Orem Rifle lub; Carl Louder. 20-30 club; Henry Campbell, Camp-bell, Orem Jaycees; and Leo Broadhead, Legion.

Dale Des-pain Des-pain of the county planning commission. The trees fine hardwoods were obtained from the nursery of the state road commission through the efforts of E. H. Johnson, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Durham, Dur-ham, Fred Davies and A. A. Richards, and two crews with trucks were on hand early Tues day to dig and load the trees at Midvale. By 1 p.m. the trees were ready for planting and Orem businessmen were on hand at the park to set them in. The Orem Or-em fire truck stood by to water the trees as they were planted. Meanwhile additional crews were clearing underbrush, trimming trim-ming existing trees and removing remov-ing dead and useless timber from the area. Two areas were planted during dur-ing the day. One will comprise a spacious park in which trees are planted geometrically, while in the other area the trees were planted in groups. The Orem Chamber of om- merce at its last meeting voted to finance the purchase of the trees for the planting program. Because the trees were obtained at little or no expense rom the road commission, the money donated by chamber members will go toward the purchase of benches, tables, fireplaces, etc., for the park, according to Mr. Stratton. Jaycees, Wives Hold Installations Joint installation ceremonies for newly elected officers of the Orem Jaycee Wives and the Orem Or-em Junior Chamber of Commerce Commer-ce were held Wednesday night at Park's Cafe, according to Mrs. Norma Bunnell, club reporter. re-porter.

Canyon Park Field Day Highlights Orem's fire truck never shined brighter than when it "checked in" for duty watering the newly planted trees. Chief Scott Thompson stayed on at the fire station with the auxiliary truck while Victor Christensen handled the big truck on Tuesday's Tues-day's project. Most popular worker Tuesday Tues-day was Owen Allen, who arrived ar-rived at a crucial time in the Geneva Dairy company truck to refresh everyone present with ice cold orangeade. It went down nice. Quickly scotched were com plaints that the city park in Orem Or-em needed trees worse than the canyon park. It was revealed that nearly 100 of the choicest trees of the load were reserved for Wednesday planting in Orem proper. Which brings up the ques tion: who'll name the two city parks? Or at least who'll name the one which centers the city? Photographers and news- reporters were a dime a dozen at the scene of the tree-planting operations. All of Utah's state papers, in addition to Provo's Herald were snapping pictures and asking questions. Bill Jacobsen and Leo Broadhead, operators of the city road equipment, were having their machines do everything except talk. Pulling trees, clearing clear-ing underbrush, leveling, and building roads kept those two men busy all afternoon. George Stratton lookea fa miliar with a pair of pruning shears, cutting back the young' trees in order to insure that they would get a start.
