Wish we'd been there. From all reports some of the merchants got a few things off their chests that have been disturbing them for some time- It's a good healthy thing, too, when people can get up and speak their piece to their city officials without fear of being jailed or killed. Its a fine thing again, when city officials can listen with re fpect to complaints and suggest ions and take a little advice a, bout what decisions are proper ana ot service to the city as a wnole.

'COOPERATE!' COMMUNITY CELEBRATION DISCUSSED EDITORIAL WE KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS Whenever you iget a group of Orem businessmen together, to-gether, you can get a discussion on what Orem "might have been" if the city had been properly zoned for business. bus-iness. "If only Orem's business houses were together, so that an adequate shopping center were available to. the city, then the city's 10,000 resdents would have no need to travel elsewhere to shop." That's the standard, somewhat wistful, comment. Every gathering of businessmen can bring out a story or two regarding this prominent chain store, or that well-heeled well-heeled business wishing to establish in Orem, but looking look-ing elsewhere when finding that the city is not properly zoned for the normal growth of shopping centers. They do not wish to run the risk of establishing a busines in one section of town and having the city's business district dis-trict growing up in another. We think that it's time to quit crying over milk which was spilt 10 years ago. Orem, as a business community, is still in its infancy and still is in need of some careful planning. It isn't too. late to establish, by statute, the areas which should be designated as business property. It still isn't too late to guide the growth of Orem. Because Be-cause mistakes were made in the past is hardly reason to ignore longer the problem of establishing the proptf zoninfe, basis for the attracting of new business enterprises enter-prises in Orem, and for the nourishment of existing business bus-iness establihments. 12ih5South Site Chosen; 1951 Completion Date Set Authorization was made Mondey at a meeting of the Al pine district board of education for tMfe construction in Orem of a new, $400,000 elementary school building. The struct ure will be erected on the west side of Main street at about 1150 South (one-half mile west of U.S. 91 at 12th South) and is expected to be ready for use by the fall of 1951.

The supreme court ruled that the appeal overlooked a specific specif-ic grant of power in the liquor control act, delegating to cities the power to regulate the sale of beer. "If the city council validly can prohibit the sale of beer on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, we see no reason why it -infringes the right of the plainiff to limit the prohibition to Sunday."

"The city council of Orem city in passing the ordinance doubtless had in mind certain undesirable consequences attendant attend-ant upon the consumption of beer and gathering together for such consumption of beer on Sunday," the court said. noia a noon meeting m ine Spanish Fork President Wal-chamber Wal-chamber of commerce office m , , .: .v. v.i, ter R.

Fifty Morningside Heights Homeo Completed; More May Be Built Fifty new homes in Morningside Heights subdivision located lo-cated west of State Street on 19th South have been completed, complet-ed, sold, and will be occupied within the next two weeks, according ac-cording to J. Wiley Sessions, Ray Katzenback and Martin Johnson, promoters of the project. Construction on the subdivision sub-division began early last spring and the finishing touches on a few of the homes were completed this week. Bert Russell is general foreman of the project. The new subdivision has brought over 175 new residents to Orem according to Mr. Sessions. Some of the homes ft.tve two bedrooms and some are of the three bed-room type and home occupancy averages shout 3.5 persons. All residents of Morningside Heights will be eligible to be counted in the Federal Censu which will be taken in Orem beginning April 1. Mr. Sessions said this week that the promoters of Morningside Morning-side Heights are extremely gratified with the acceptance che homes have found with prospective home-owners. "Orem is a wonderful place to live, and we believe Morningside Morning-side Heitrhts is one of the choicest places in Orem to live," Mr. Sessions said. The possibility that the subdivision might be expanded tihs summer was projected by the promoters. Mr. Sessions stated that Leonard .V. Beckman. Orem city engineer, is even now at work doing surveying work in connection with the anticipated addition.
