MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, strictly In advance $3 00 Six Months $2.90 LETS CELEBRATE Most western communities must have little cause to celebrate. jDm ,.one end of the intermountain area to the other, town an$l, cities set aside a day or a weekend to observe the ripeninf of particular fruit grown in the area, the settlement of Vne town, to pay tribute to black and white cows, or rambouillet sheep, or Geneva Steel, or galena, or merely harvest days or rodeo days. Nearly anything is cause for a celebration and if no cause is apparent, one can easily be manufactured. We see that Rexburg, Idaho is observing "Whoopee Day." They get to the point. Orem, fittingly enough perhaps, observed "Rodeo Days" along with a nod toward the anniversary of Geneva Gen-eva Steel's becoming a private enterprise. No objections were voiced and the occasion was enjoyed by one and all. Soon, however, real cause to celebrate will come to Orem. Within a few weeks Orem will be the proud possessor poss-essor of one of the finest main stems in the state. Three miles of hard surface, curb to curb, eight lanes wide. No more dust, unsightly mail boxes off the highway, utility poles and wires well back, an opportunity to. plant a parking area with trees and grass, plenty of parking space for every business house. It has been painful during the construction period. Dust has been a veritable "white plague" and business has suffered. But once the black-top is down and the dust is gone; and we can again, in good faith invite visitors to Orem, Jet's do it. Let's celebrate! SEEMS LIKE WE'VE BEEN THIS WAY BEFORE We're not blaming Louis A. Johnson, secretary of defense, when he made this statement a week ago, but when we read it we were struck by pangs of acute frustration frus-tration : "Within a few short years we may witness the end of this era of atomic secrecy ... from that day on, our advantage in strategic bombing will rest, not in the monopoly possession of the atomic bomb, but in our superior stockpile, our production capacity and in the effectiveness and quantity of aircraft required to deliver those bombs. Are we forever to be the inheritors of an already sick and discredited tradition? A tradition which would have us believe that we can obtain peace by grinding our sword so sharp and suspend it so ominously over our enemies that they will fear to attack us, or even to resist our will. Suppose the Russians (and their allies) refuse to be frightened. Then what? Suppose they refuse (or are not given the opportunity) to be impressed by our shin-sword shin-sword or its position. Then what? This: Some frightening number (thousands or millions) mil-lions) of Americans will die in another war; or more likely we'll all be casualties along with this civilization. It seems to be history's lesson that no more can force succeed in establishing peace in our own hands than it could in Hitler, or in Napoleon's. Force, at best, is only a temporary stop-gap, not a solution. Of one thing we may be certain: the greater the force the greater the hatred the greater the determination to overcome that force. It frustrates us that we are accepting the fact with a sort of fatalistic resignation that our statesmen are remaining power politicians, and that their conception of peace continues to be based on power politics. Meanwhile, our moral development, on which real peace depends, lags behind, nelglected. Is it possible that with all our resources, with all our potential for doing good, with all our pride in the power pow-er of public relations, that we'll choose to spend billions to sharpen our sword instead of spending a few of those billions and some courage, vision and moral strength to reach the hearts of our "enemies." Someday, we hope, the Christian nations can look together .in, another direction. Perhaps, one day, the western democracies will find power in the application of an "outmoded" formula: goodness, justice, mercy. i juLTOiM ; , V vUOt I s7' -.-y.. ........

Orville Gunther as the successful success-ful bidder, according to word from Washington, and would construct the building across from the J. C. Penney store In American Fork. The postoffice building is to house the postoffice and will not be a federal building. Reva Beck Bosone reported to Postmaster Grant Ingersoll of American Fork that a federal building was being planned for the Cave City but not until building costs go down. Meanwhile it was reported that all the bids for the construction construc-tion or lease of a suitable post office building in Orem had been refused by postoffice officials. offic-ials. Bids were asked here two months ago and several offers were made to build a postoffice building here. However, postal officials in Salt Lake City reported re-ported that all the bids were "out of line." Permission to make out new bids was granted.

IIUISH AWIIING & SHADE GO. 17th South and State Orem "If recent price cuts in lead, zinc and copper aren't offset quickly by some big adjustments in mining costs, some of our producers will have to close down. It would cut off some big payrolls, importaiv purchases of power and supplies, and some vital income to a lot of service workers depending indirectly on the mines."

Ave. Telephone 950 When I saw lights burning in the High School auditorium last night, I looked in to see what went on. About twenty people were listening listen-ing to Buzz Ellis, the electrician, talk about television. I slipped into a back seat and asked Hap Thomas what was up. Hap told me it was the new Self- Improvement Club. I stayed to listenand lis-tenand learned a lot Buzz really knows his stuff. Turns out this club meets every Friday night Each member gives a talk on the subject he knows most about I Joined on the spot because learning new things is one of my favorite hobbies. From where I sit, it's willingness to learn from the other person that makes Americans tolerant towards so many different viewpoints and tastes in things. Just because Buzz Ellis goes for chocolate malteds, while I prefer a mellow glass of beer, doesn't mean I'm right and he's wrong. Incidentally, next week Vm going to talk on how to run a newspaper.

This will effect the waters of the high Uintahs primarily, and includes all of the waters on the North slopt of the Uintah mountains. moun-tains. Fishermen are warned to prepare to fish in extremely high water when they enter this area. The Upper Duchesne and Uintah Uin-tah Rivers, as well as the Upper Bear River. Henry's Fork, Burnt Fork, Smith Fork, are running extremely high. It is suggesed that the lowly garden Hackel or the good old Angle Worm be used as bait. Sportsmen, you are again reminded re-minded that the bag limits are seven pounds or 15 fish and that the daily bag limit is the possession possess-ion limit. While fishing this year in Utah Ut-ah streams and lakes, you will, in all probability, catch a fish bearing a Monel metal tag in the gill or around the jaw bone. These tags were plared there, by the Utah Fish and Game Com-mision Com-mision for the purpose of studying study-ing the survival, migration, fisherman's fish-erman's surcess, rate of growth, and success of spawning of hatchery hat-chery raised fish.

As fishermen venture onto the streams, there is one point that must be kept in mind at all times by everyone, and that is that, in all probability, you are on privately-owned land, and I that you should regard this prop. ei iy as you wuuia your own. Do not build fires in undesignated places; do not open gates and leave them open; and do not destroy des-troy fences, or molest livestock.
