One year, in advance 3-00 V. N. BIGGER THAN ALLIANCES We've never Tiad ner'ous objection t& the Atlantic Iact, nor to the activation of the pact by providing arms to member nations in Europe. Such an alliance and such expenditures have seemed neseccary to meet the fthal-Jenge fthal-Jenge of n apparently aggressive Soviet Russia. But there's f ea? danger in assuming that the power. ful Atlantic alliance is a satisfactory arrangement to insure our security. At best tt is only a temporary pro. gram made necessary by the lack of understanding a-piong a-piong nations of the east and west. Power never hai been a successful deterrent to war, and if history can teach us anything, it can show that humanity, eastern er western, revolts at force or threats of fofce that the greatest force produces the geatest hate. And not the greatest iseeurit., That's why It was heartening to read those pivotal Vords of Secretary of State AcheaoTi in hi recent address ad-dress before the United Nations General Assembly; "In the final analysis, the security problem ij a un- Xversal problem. It cannot be solved except a a Universal tasis, through the United Nations." This Is America's reaffirmation that our foreign policy fs not regional, and that our best hope for woild peace lies in the conviction that thia is one world. American leadership mut return again and again to public recognition of the fact that beyond th Atlantic Alliance there is the great United Nations the world's organization for solving the security problem, properly on a universal, not a regional basis. TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE Against the background of recent voting records In Europe, our own interest In democratic government shows up very bad indeed. In the last general election in Italy we learn that nearly 90 percent of those eligible to vote cast their ballots. Ii the recent election in Germany the percentage of eligible who cant Lallots reached beyond be-yond the 80 percent mark. With those fifeures in mind we looked up Orem's voting vot-ing record for the last city election and found that fewer than 1350 voters cast ballots. It in difficult to know how many adults in .Orem are eligible to vote, but in a city which boasts 10 to 11 thousand population you could fairly expect to muster 2500 to 3000 voters at least' double the number who cast ballots when last we elected mayor and city council. The city's political parties are showing unusual interest inter-est this year and It is certain that effort and thought have gone into the selection of candidates. But it isn't their show. It's yours. You voters are the twsses In this community, and the Successful administration of it is your responsibility. That's why it Is quite important that you make certain that you are properly registered and that you vote, come Nov. 8. One more registration date, Nov. 1, remains, be. lore balloting.

I am Tiof -ritinff hi i tpur of the moment thought, but as it comes from a "peddler" 'hose pursuit f happiness is that of mixing business with pleasure to an extent where it flows smooth for all concerned, towards- the desired financial end.

Traveling far Mid id ever these good old United States for many yeara, which my fihosen profession demanded, i am not shooting at a shadow when I sound praises for the cities 1 have sojourned in.

Yes indeed, Optimistic Reitabl Energetic Merchants, !s what Orem cons!sts of, and if the word of one who contacts thera in their own dens does not sound as truthful as desired, then the writer must be blind of one eye and cannot ee out of the other. Anyhow, orchids to Orem, and may it long continue to trod up the laddT cf success,; and never have to realize the many splinters upon said ladder, as do those who have the misfortune misfor-tune to be sliding down it.
