Show THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1951 OREM-GENEVA Orem-Geneva Times Published every Thursday at Orem, Utah M. NEFF SMART. Editor and Publisher CLYDE E. WEEKS JR.. Associate Editor Entered as second class matter November 19. 1944 at the posloffice at Orem, Utah, under the act of March 3. 1897. MEMBER: Utah State Press Association National Editorial Association Subscription Rates: One year, in advance $3.00 The illustration above is a hackneyed method of pointing point-ing tip a moral that needs pointing up in Orem. Orem is a lean business community. There is no secret sec-ret about that. Business mortality is high here, despite Orem's rapid 'growth. Half a dozen empty buildings along State Street attest the faith, followed by disillusionment disillusion-ment of persons who started business enterprises here. At least a dozen businesses have changed hands during the past year. There is agreement among businessmen here : "If you can make it in Orem, you can make it anywhere." any-where." Now comes the time for the annual membership drive of the Orem Chamber of Commerce. We don't suggest sug-gest that the Chamber can solve Orem's business probr lems, but we do suggest that if any group in Orem should take the responsibility for improving the business busin-ess conditions here, for directing the growth of the city's business enterprises, and for taking the lead m boosting Orem as the state's most promising community that group should be the Orem Chamber. In Orem are approximately 2000 families, who earn and spend approximately $6 million per year. Orem retailers re-tailers get "barely the crumbs" of that amount. We think that something can be done to change that situation, sit-uation, but not if the resonsibility is left to the few chamber of commerce officers. . We urge businessmen, and buyers as well, to think about the retail potential of Orem in its relationship to the prosperity of the community. ' ' We urge businessmen, especially, to think about that vast potential when asked to join in the program of the Chamber of Commerce this year. "MODERATION'1 We note that Los .Angeles is refreshingly frank about its report of traffic deaths over the holiday period. Veteran Vet-eran policemen report that they have never seen anything any-thing like it 362 persons facing drunk driving charges and a total of 1222 arrested for drunkenness. It was something like a score who lost their lives. Hundreds were injured. Yet distillers and brewers keep on appealing to more people to drink more alcohol, while retaining their devotion de-votion to "moderation." Mark Twain once observed that the victim of a quarry blast would have small interest in learning that the powder had been of poor quality. Even less interest, it is our guess, would the victim of a highway crash or his family have in the knowledge that the guilty driver was "only a moderate drinker".

They were having a gay time at the dance Later when I was having a cup of coffee and a burger, they were there too. One of the young men came up to me and said, "fer gosh sakes. Ethyl, don't do a write up about us." And this is what he gets for reminding me. There is an ordinance in Utah County to the 'ffect that it is breaking the law to dance where beer is dispensed, consequently many people spend their money in other counties. I often wonder why such a silly ordinance. We dance in the LDS church houses and I have even seen intoxication at such dances in rare instances. Some of our public dance halls are places where it is the thing to behave like sinners. The sad thing is that it is the oldsters who act in such a disgusting dis-gusting manner. It is the usual attitude to get a fifth and by all moans kill it before the dance is out for who wants to bother to tote home a snort when another an-other fifth will do a better job for the next dance? It is my opinion that education, educat-ion, not laws, will be the answer to such evils. It is not a sin to dance but it is a sin to get drunk. I have noticed minors frequenting fre-quenting public dance halls and in a state of drunkness not becoming to any decent pexson. I have no suggestions to make except that I think some one has their tenses twisted. For an adult to dance in a tavern, to take a glass of beer is not a sin. I like to dance I love good music. I like a crowd that is fun but I have a horror of al- ! coholism. As yet I cannot under stand why it is a sin to dance in beer parlors if it is not a sin to dance in churches. Minors have no business in beer joints or at public dances with a fifth. Beer should not be dispensed in cafes, restaurants and places where minors are permitted. If youngsters have the right bringing up there's no need to worry about them when they become adults. They will have character and back bone enough to walk into a beer joint, drink a glass of beer and dance with a friend and return home with out a damaged soul. Again let me state it is a matter mat-ter of EDUCATION not LAWS.
