Editor and Publiihar (Enlexd as Mcond class matter Norember 19, 1944 si the pottofL-'e at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3. 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $3-00 WIDE OPEN FOR BUSINESS Plenty of business opportunity in Orem and plenty of room to develop that opportunity was promised this week when the Zoning commission accepted the recommendation recom-mendation of businessmen at an open hearing to "leave the street open for business." There have been dissenters to the "20th North to 20th South open for business" policy. The Orem-Geneva Times has expressed its belief that the restriction of business frontage would help to establish shopping centers cen-ters and increase retail volume of business here something some-thing which is badly needed. However, now that the interested parties have been heard and a decision has been reached, the Orem-Geneva Times will lend its small voice to the development of the idea that Orem's State Street is small enough to furnish the needs of the population which will doubtless doubt-less live within the city come 1955 or 1960. And there will be shopping centers. Just as Scera, because be-cause it is the finest theater in the county, draws patrons pat-rons from every corner of Central Utah, so can other fine business establishments. It must be recognized that in the past a few small business enterprises in Orem have been handicanped hy isolating themselves on State Street. But it is al o true that it is impossible for a well-run, well-financed and attractive store to isolate itself in the center of a market as large as Cenral Utah. It may be a long view, but it is an attractive view: Orem's state street five miles of well-ordered, well-stocked well-stocked and attractive business houses. The longest and best shopping center in Central Utah. And no parking meters ! OF MICE AND MEN We fail to get particularly excited about current riy-hunts riy-hunts and "McC-irthyisms". Most -everyone accents them as political and inconsequential, but they are distractions dis-tractions which have some dangerous implicrt'ons. The Christion Science Monitor carried a rwnt on the subject worth repeating last week in an editorial "Mice or Men." We believe you'll like it: We would not have Americans take todays dangers less seriously. We would ask them to check a frivolous addiction to "whodnits" that distracts them from the larger dangers and the positive measures required to combat them. We would add that Washington and Lincoln Lin-coln who fou'rht wars with thousands of disaffected citizens behind their backs did not give half the attention atten-tion to jittery soy-hunting that Americans are now bestowing be-stowing on the McCarthy circus. The nation might well lie compared today to a f"ck;r" making essential war materials. It is fenced and well guarded. It possesses efficient security police. The worker work-er have been "screened" for loyalty. But every few weeks this factory echoes with clamorous cries of "spy". The whole place is ransnked and U"set w'h reckless charges made against fellow employees, with workers' attention distracted, nnd essential work put aside. Isn't it more important to repair some of -the machinery mach-inery of free government. Wouldn't it be well to give some of this attention to improving production and labor la-bor relations in the factory?. Or to making American democracy better known abroad? Isn't it time for Americans Am-ericans to stop acting like terrified mice and tackle l;ke men the serious, positive measures required to defeat communism and Russian nationalism? SAVE!

"What the adult community has got to do is sho children that virtue is not old-fashioned and that ruthless ruth-less self-interest is not an admirable way of life.
