Painting , 0f machinery and equipment has been done and shipments of cans are being received at the loading dock every day. The cannery, which handles only sour cherries and tomatoes, tomat-oes, is expected to can between 8,000 and 10,000 cases of cherries cher-ries this year. Last year 16,000 cases of cherries were canned 20th North to 20th South By O. G. Semii Gone but not forgotten are tha narades. pageantry and) rodeos of last week's Orem Steel Days. We're not prepared to say whether or not the three-day community celebration was a financial fi-nancial success, but we do feel that it was a success in many other ways. It brought a lot of people to Orem who might never nev-er have otherwise come- It focused fo-cused the attention of people throughout the state on Orem. The celebration helped bring a lot of people together, both during dur-ing the event and in preparation for the event. It's a healthy sign when the people of a community can work together to accomplish a common com-mon goal such as a community celebration. It shows that the undercurrents of petty jealousies- feuds and quarreling that sometimes threaten to erupt volcano-like into full-scale battles bat-tles take on .increasingly smaller small-er proportions when energies are combined to make a community com-munity activity a success. Medallion of the Week goes to Ray Hawkins, Rojr Park, Paul Ellertson, and all the members mem-bers of the Orem Riding Club who contributed time and money mon-ey towards the celebration. Anyone Any-one and everyone who worked for the success of the Orem Steel Days, whether it be in the construction con-struction of a float, assisting in the advertising, or just being an enthusiastic booster deserves a lot of credit. Here's hoping it will be an annual affair one people will look forward to every ev-ery year. Fire Works Here's a gentle reminder we got from Fire Chief Scott Thompson that would be well to pass on in this column. According Ac-cording to Chief Thompson, fireworks of all kinds and descriptions des-criptions are 'agin the law in Orem. It's illegal to sell, offer for sale, to own or ignite fireworks fire-works here. Even caps and cap guns are prohibited under the fire ordinance. The law will be trictly interpreted, according to Chief Thompson, so heed this warning!
