Show OREM-GENEVA TIMES THURSDAY, May 5, lMj Published Every Thuriday at Orem, Utah M. KEFF SMART, Editor and Publishei Entered as second class matter November 19, 1944 at the postofflce at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3, 1879. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Raiess One year, strictly in advance $3 00 Six Months 2.00 CANYON PARK BALANCE SHEET We're not much' at figures, but we sharpened the pencil pen-cil yesterday to estimate that it would have cost $5 to $6 thousand to duplicate the work which was accomplished accom-plished Tuesday at Orem's canyon park. First there were the trees. One hundred and fifty trees maples, elms, locusts, good hardwoods would cost a thousand dollars, no less. Planting those 150 trees represented at least 300 man hours of work, day labor, and that would have cost the government approximately $500.00. Did you ever hire a bulldozer or two? They come high. And trucks aren't hired nor operated for nothing. Road patrols for scraping scrap-ing to the level a softball diamond. All these were needed, need-ed, and available, on Tuesday, along; with a fire engine pump for watering the newly planted trees. Add to that a nice chunk of money for administration administrat-ion purposes. Administration comes high, especially on high levels. The cost to Orem city for the work accomplished Tuesday was appreciably less than $5000. The trees cost nothing, except the time and effort of public-spirited Orem citizens to go. to Midvale and dig and haul them. (They came from the state road commission nursery nur-sery which is being liquidated by order of Gov. Lee.) The 300 man hours of work required to plant new trees and trim existing trees was donated by about the finest group of Orem citizens you'll ever get in one group together. The banker and the grocers, city officials, offic-ials, fruit farmers, contractors, real estate men, businessmen busin-essmen all were on hand. City road equipment was available for the road building, tree pullirtr, leveling and dozing of underbrush. And a Geneva Dairy truck was handy to refresh the workers. It was a refreshing example of what usited effort and enthusiasm for a project can accomplish in a short time. Our hats are off and up to Mayor Gillman, the city council, Chamber President George Stratton and the other "administrators" of the project, whose services are about the best bargain Orem residents have. UNIVERSAL PRAYER Oil MOTHERS' DAY "HE AIN'T HEAVY; HE'S MY BROTHER" Adapted from the story is Kiwanis Magazine by Roe Fulkerson. You recall how a crane's knees look: how knobby they are when compared with his slender legs. We see the same structure in young calves, colts, and boys around 12 or 13. Their joints seem to grow out of all proportion to the size of their pins. A small boy I want you to visualize was in this stage of development. His short Boy Scout knickers and hi3 rolled-down stockings showed him a spindly and physically physic-ally weak lad. He was carrying a baby ; one of those fat squashy babies. It was full of wrinkles and dimples, and where he squeezed it his arms sank as if he hugged a toy balloon. ball-oon. The baby's head lay over his shoulder and it cooed, blew bubbles and was quite happy. The boy was staggering stagger-ing towards a neighboring park with it when I met him. It was such a big load for such a spindle-shanked boy that I thought of a small tug, , warping a big liner into its dock. "Pretty big load for such a small kid," I said as I met him. "Why mister," he smiled, "he ain't heavy; he's my brother." I have heard the greatest pulpit orators of the day, and attended the meetings of some of the world's greatest great-est revivalists. These eloquent, educated teachers have expounded the laws of God and praised the brotherhood of man, but none of them ever moved me as that snub-nosed snub-nosed kid with his matter of course answer: "he ain't heavy; he's my brother." I belong to more lodges than Heinz makes pickles. In every one of them we work beautiful degrees intended intend-ed to impress the (great lesson of the universal brotherhood. brother-hood. But not one of all those degrees ever made such an impression on me as that remark : "he ain't heavy ; he's my brother." Hard-boiled businessmen join service clubs. The mellowing mel-lowing influence of the brotherhood in those organizations organiz-ations often changes cold, calculating men almost machine-like in their digging for the pile of dollars which they try to accumulate to warm enthusiasts who engage in work for underpriviledged children and other civic projects. But those, who have to be educated gradually to become human again have missed the biggest big-gest thinlg in life which this simple, unaffected boy had growing in his heart. "He ain't heavy; he's my brother." Would we could feel it as strongly as this little codger. cod-ger. We, too, have to carry the burden of some of our fellowmen. We, too, have to struggle along the uphill path of life with some of the other fellow's weight on our spindling legs. And all of us fret and quarrell a bit at the weakness of the other fellow we lug along when he can't make his own legs carry him. Would we could feel it when we are called upon to endorse the plan to rehabilitate our neighbors and friends in westers Europe. My troubles had been weighing heavily upon me until un-til I met that kid, but then came a realization that most of the things I'm called upon to do for my church, my clubs, for the Red Cross, for Boy Scouts, for the community com-munity are basically turns for my brother. . So I shall try to be more grateful and less grouchy, try to look around a little more to see if I haven't missed miss-ed some places where I could drop a friendly dollar or a happy smile which might give some chap a lift. I intend to remember that spindle-legged urchin, and if I have set down even the half of his unconscious sermon, ser-mon, you also will not forget: - "He ain't heavy; he's my brother." SPOTLIGHTING UTAH Southeastern Utah Sees Prosperity Pros-perity Times are good in southeast ern Utah, especially along high way U. S. 160 to the Utah-Colo, rado line. Some of this evident prosperity can be credited to the Uranium mining actvity in the region. Prospectors, oil men, miners and promoters are in the area. Long lines of trucks loaded load-ed with carnotite ore are rolling roll-ing along U. S. 160 to the Atomic Atom-ic Energy ore processing nant at Monticello. Huge fifteen-ton trucks from Colorado and Missouri Miss-ouri are hauling corn into the region and taking away Pinto beans and wheat. All of which means that the restaurants are cowded, the motor courts filled to capacity, and Utah's highways high-ways are experiencing some heavy traffic Since no rail head serves this region and the truck ing business is increasing tre. mendously, good highways and strong bridges are a prime nec essity. The old bridge across the Col. orado at Moab. long admitted to be inadequate for the traffic, is now receiving a heavy pounding. pound-ing. It is hoped that this key structure will be replaced with an adequate bridge before a repetition re-petition of what happened at Green River takes place when that structure crumbled into the Green river under heavy traffic many month ago, paralyzing the entire region for many weeks. UPID Road Signs to Aid Tourists Tour-ists Three big signs, each ten by forty feet are being erected in southeastern Utah by the UPID at strategic road locations. Call-in Call-in the attention of the tourist entering Utah to the scenic attractions at-tractions of the region, one sign is being erected just over the Utah line on Highway 160 be. tween Dove Creek, Colorado- and Monticello, Utah. The otherT the vines are thriving on the two signs are Deing placed on. farm oi Joe Morrison aajacent Highway U- S. 6-50 at Crescent to the Colorado River on the riv Junction where 6-50 and U.

Morrison expects to harvest har-vest his crop about the middle of June. He is raising a special early variety and apparently his Monument and the Monument cantaloupes will be marketed Valley area. The signs carry beautifully painted pictures of the above mentioned attractions and should do much to publicize and promote southeastern Utah. Arches National Monument Awaits Entrance Sign A large sign Indicating the entrance to the Arches National Monument will be erected soon on Highway U. S. 160 at the junction of this road and the Arches entrance road, ,nine miles north of Moab. by the Utah State Road Commission".
