Proposed Street Raymond Partridge appeared before the council in regard to a petition previously received by the council asking the city to abandon the proposed plan for Commercial Street running parallel between State Street and the old Orem track from 12th South to 16th South. Mr. Partridge pointed out that the track changed its course south of 12th South and that it would be impracticle to have a street there.

"Communities throughout the state and nation could do, well to pattern their recreation programs after Orem's," he said.

FATHER'S DAY Will EE 40 YEARS CLD Loving sons and daughters in the Orem-Geneva area will take time out to pay affectionate tribute to Dad on Sunday. Father's Fa-ther's day wil bring visits from children living away from home and provide an opportunity for the younger generation to honor Dad. It hasn't always been the custom cus-tom to lavish gifts of love on the breadwinner every June 19, however. It was in the year 1909 wh.n Mrs. Jolhx Bruce Dodd of Spokane, Washington, proposed the observance of Father's Fa-ther's Day as a tribute to fathers everywhere. She was one of six brothers and sisters raised by their father, William Smart, a Civil War veteran, after their mother's death- The Spokane Ministers As-siocation As-siocation sponsored the first city-wide Father's Day in 1910. President Coolidge recommend ed its nationwide observance in 1924. TOP MAN HERE Dad Is top man in America- -but in some other parts of the world, he could stand a little recognition. On Palau Island in the South Seas, the ruling matriarchs can have any male executed if he disturbs their con templation. And near Sumatra, Dad has to go live with his wife's family, children take their mother's name--and only daughters inherit property! In India, Dad's in even worse shape. If Father goes into dobt. Mother can sell him into slavery to pay off the creditors.! week, the season has ended as far as shipping is concerned. Orem Berry Growers association associat-ion shipped 12,000 cases of quality qual-ity berries during the season, which is nearly twice the volume vol-ume shipped last year. Stanley Farley, association secretary, said that the quality of the berries has been excellent, probably pro-bably due to the large number of new patches in the area. He In dicated that the price on anip-plng anip-plng markets held up reasonably well, but that it slumped slightly slight-ly late in the season. On the local market berries sold for $3 for fancy berries down to $2.50. For the first time In a decade the berry growers found themselves them-selves with plenty of pickers, according ac-cording to Mrs. E. H. Joh.on, secretary of the labor office here. She said that despite the fact that the price for plcUng was down five cents from last year most of the pickers earned more than a year ago. The size and quality of the berries made the difference, she said. Pickers are also expected to be adequate for harvesting the cherry and raspberry crops which come on next. Only haying hay-ing jobs are available now, and many teen-agers have signed for work in the fruit as it comei 'on. Raspberries are expected to be ready about July 1 with cherries i starting about a week later. I There will also be some dew-I dew-I berries, currants and black caps, i during the next three weeks. I Acreage of raspberries in the I Orem area is being reduced and 'the winter kill was appreciable , on the raspberries, so that the crop Is expected to be shorter than a year ago. A good cherry crop is expected. Sunday Dinner Sunday dinner at the Genera Dairy that's what b Hi store for some Orem-Geneva Times subscriber.

SUPREME AUTHORITY Father hasn't always been low man on the tribal totem pole, though. In Biblical times, it was considered a crime punishable punish-able by death for a child to disagree dis-agree with his Father. Throughout Through-out Nothern Europe, a Father felt disgraced if a son in his tens appeared publicly in hii presence. Greek Fathers even selected the wives for their sons--and no back talk allowed-CHAMPION allowed-CHAMPION FATHER The champion Father of Ancient An-cient Days undoubtedly was King Solomon. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines, but the Bible doesn't mention how many youngsters played hide-and-seek in the royal palace Solomon had a little-known mndern counterpart, however.
