Edilor and Publisher (Eniered as second class mailer November 19. 1944 ai the poslo:i- at Orem, Ulah, under Ihe act of March 3. 1897. MEMBER: Utah Slate Press Association Subscription Rales: One year, in advance $3-00 MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS MAIL Orem's newest fifty families those who have purchased pur-chased homes in Morningside Heights are almost unanimous un-animous in their like for Utah's fifth city. They like the view, the clean atmosphere and the quiet. But there is some confusion and some dissatisfaction in Orem's Or-em's mail service. For people who are accustomed to door-to-door mail delivery it is inconvenient and apt to be even distasteful distaste-ful to be "general delivery" citizens of Orem. The dissatisfaction has already been expressed by a petition to the Provo. postoffice, asking that house-to-house delivery be inaugurated through Provo to the new residential area. Those who are acquainted with postal regulations feel certain that the petition will be refused and that our neighbors will remain "general delivery" residents of Orem. Certainly efforts should be made by us to help solve the mail problem for Morningside Heights. It is likely that the finest mail service permitted under postal regulations reg-ulations for that area will be rural delivery to roadside boxes. These boxes are the responsibility of the individual, indiv-idual, but cooperative effort is needed between the local postal authorities (or the Chamber of Commerce) and residents of Morningside Heights to work out a system whereby boxes may be installed convenient to carriers yet inconspicuous to the overall landscaping of a now extremely attractive community. Research experts found efficient mail service to be the top morale booster, next to food, among U. S. soldiers. sold-iers. As hosts and neighbors to Orem's fifty newest families we might well consider Morningside Heights morale a priority problem. P. S. Some confusion could also be saved by providing pro-viding Orem mail service instead of Provo for the residents of Orem who live west of Eighth West and south of Center street. THE FARMER IS GETTING GOOD The farmer, with a good bit of help from science and industry, is getting really good. He looks at the forecast of this year's crop, for example, and cheerfully asks where is Malthus, the old boy who. predicted only disaster disast-er as the human race increased and found there wasn't enough land to grow food for all the mouths. The American farmer will grow his ' second largest corn crop on record, around three and a half million bushels. And the striking fact is that he will (grow it on 25 million fewer acres than he used in 1932, although his output will be 600 million bushels larger than then. . But where he is cheerful about Malthus, knowing that What has been done in corn, eggs and potatoes can be done also in other crops, the farmer is less cheerful about the bumper crop itself. There are some here and' there who fear they may be getting too good for their own good. But it need not mean low prices and hardship for the farmer, or a spreading infection of hard times, short business and unemployment for other people as it used to in such cases. The price support policy "will see to national salvation from that sort of thing. But the farmer farm-er can't get his full loan unless he can put his excess in storage to protect its quality, cut down waste from insects, in-sects, rats, mold, rot and shellinlg out. And there are just not enough bins to take care of one bumper crop on top of another. It is times like this, with the bins bulging with surplus sur-plus corn (surplus because it can't be sold at the artif-ical artif-ical high price), that the Brannan plan invites looking at a little more closely, even if Congress has shelved it. We have an idea you haven't heard the last of it. Louisville Courier-Journal YOUR ATTENTION FLEASE! PEOPLE DONT. Go driving just to read the bill boards PEOPLE DONT.

V " hv , - ' J i K IDZ CORNER Conducted by Edward Sammle Weekly Animal story serial THE MISFORTUNES OF A BROWN BEAR (This is the first of a new series about a brown bear that is separated from his mother early in life and caught by hunters hunt-ers ) I was only a month old when I first heard the big noise. Hunters from the valley had come to catch bears like me. I shudder to think of it even now. My mother was out looking for focd when I heard a terrible noise, and then a shriek of agony, then the snarling of hounds. Bears are naturally curious, so I ventured to the entrance en-trance of the cave in which I lived and peeped out. The sight that I beheld was a terrible one. On the ground lay my mother, staining the pine needles with her blood as two massive hounds tackled her- Mother was not dead, but weakly trying to resist I would have rushed out then, but I knew I would not have a chance- Two men stood near, laughing harshly, then one called call-ed off the dogs, raised his rifle to his shoulder and fired a bullet bul-let into my mother's brain. The nv-st I could say for those men was that they were humane enough to put mother out of her agony. I have hated humans ever since. (This story to be continued next week.)
