For a long time residents of subdivisions es-pecally es-pecally have suffered no little inconvenience as a result of the mail delivery arrangements which have existed heretofore. Acting Postmaster Leo Broadhead should be commended for his efforts in obtaining approval for the service. In approving part of the city for doorto-door mail delivery the postal department has stipulated that patrons receiving the service must first display the street number of their house and attach a mail box to their house or provide a mail slot in the door. Mail will not be delivered to any home not complying wnn tnis tion after the service begins. A': 'he same time the Postal Department ruled that hoir" ..umbers must replace the old rural route numbers in t!.a areas where door-to-door delivery service is rs-blished, the department announced that all homeowners home-owners in the city should cease using their rural route numbers for an address and notify all correspondents to address future mail to their house number. This rulirij, in effect, will do what civic organizations organizat-ions have been trying to accomplish for years; provide for systematic house numbering in Orem City. Owners of new homes built within the past few years can find their street address on their building permit. Those who have lost their permits or who own older homes may obtain their number by taking their legal description to the office of the city building inspector at the city hall. The sooner the better! AN OPEN LETTER TO AN OREM HOUSEWIFE Dear Mrs- Housewife; Just in case you are snowed under with housework this week or have finally decided that this is the week to rearrange the furniture, we'd like to call your attention attent-ion to the fact that this is the height of Orem's fruit season. Maybe you've given up an ambitious canning program at your house due to the short supply of fruit and the high prices of recent years, but we think you will want to re-examine the local situation this year and perhaps do something before it is too late. A bumper crop of fruit is beirig harvested in Orem at the present time, and it is estimated that throughout the county 500,000 bushels of choice peaches are being picked for market. Although many carloads of peaches will be shipped out of the state, there is a plentiful supply on the local fruit stands and grocery stores with the better grades being sold for $2.50 per bushel. The fruit on the trees is ripening fast, and will be at its best for only a tew days. We suggest that you figure up your fruit needs for one or two years and make plans immediately to fill these needs by canning a good supply of Orem peaches. The entire fruit picture is heartening this year, both for 'grower and consumer. Choice Bartlett pears are available for ?3.00 to $3 50 per bushel and the supply is ample. Plums and prunes are starting to come on the market in fair supply and should be canned soon. Vhat with the price of most food at record heights throughout the country, you, as guardian of the family ,Lu(;.i.:, are concerned about stretching your food dollar: doll-ar: ;u far as the will go. Orem fruit, canned according to your own recipe, is as economical a food as you can buy, and for taste i3 beyond compare. Plan to can your fruit NOW! Albert Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. William N. Davis, broke his arm Monday morning. William Jacobson and son, Dick, spent the weekend fishing at Strawberry.

Watkins There is a great deal of doubletalk coming out of Washington. Wash-ington. The Capitol being what it is, most people just naturally natur-ally expect that. Much of the talk on taxes is a good example. I am convinced that the people want the truth, however unpleasant un-pleasant it may be. In a recent column I discussed taxes, and an endeavor was made to make it clear that the tax load would have to be borne by the entire American population, except by those in the very lowest income brackets, and even these can't escape entirely, there seems to be no escape from this conclusion, It was pointed out that even though all of the income of cor porations over and above taxes and all the income of indiv iduals earning more than $10000 a year were taken as taxes, it would still leave a gap of many billions of dollars between what the government, is spending and what would be' taken in under such a tax program. A program which would take Allies, as well as a heavy spend ing program for our own defense. de-fense. If that is what the people at home want, and that is the way I interpret my mail and public reaction according to re- ports of observers, then there all the incnm of enrnorations ' must of necessity be an increase and also citizens earning morel'" taxes Pretty much all along than $10,000 a year is impract me Une- cai confiscatory ana contrary The President, in his message try l said: "It is mv firm ennviptinn ! said: "It is that we should pay for these ex penditures as we go.

And then he interest in investments because if any money is made, most of it is taken away in taxes, and, if there is a loss, the individual bears it alone. So they reason, why take a chance? Another point that most people overlook is the fact that industry and business are alsoy, tax collectors, ay tms is meant that business and industry have to pass on to the ultimate consumer con-sumer whatever taxes they pay. They figure that taxes are a leg itimate cost of doing business basic materials, and control of prices and wages." In support of this, the President said: "We should pay as we" go because that is the way to keep the gov- sound added: "We increase our national secur ity by adopting a sound financ ial policy. This will leave us stronger, not weaker, as the years go by." He also added: "We should pay for defense as we go for that is the way to distribute dis-tribute the cost of defense fair- With these statements of he President, I fully agree. It seems to me there is no escape from hese conclusions. But, as most of my readers will know, it is and there must be some profit 1 nt only a question of pay as we over and above the cost includ ing taxes. Therefore, . any attempt at-tempt to increase the extremely high tax on industry and business busin-ess is simply added to the cost of production 'and passed on to the average citizen in the price of the product. New direct taxes must be less against those in the lower income in-come brackets because they simply cannot pay any heavy increases in-creases and maintain a decent standard of living, but there must be some tax on those having hav-ing an income of less than $10 000 for the simple reason that there are more taxpayers in that field. That is where the bulk of incime lies; not because the people in this group receive high incomes, but because there are so many of them that when the:r individual income is multiplied multi-plied by the number of people, the total is much larger than in any of the other income orack ets. Another facet of the subject under discussion is the cost of running government, which in eludes preparing ourselves and our Allies for defense. Reports from home indicate that a majority maj-ority of people of Utah feel that we ought to go on with our heavy contributions to our go, but also a question of keen ing to the absolute minimum all expenditures, because the load we have undertaken is one that will extend us to the' limit in fact, many economists believe it is simply beyond our ability to carry. The President has also asked for 10 billion dollars in new taxes. Congress is thinking m terms of only 6 billion as the limit of what our economy can stand. Congress says the President Presid-ent must cut the fat out of his domestic program.

Ethyl Nielsen Haix SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND ME ' Hi, Folks, There're some things that are beyond me .... yet if a reader asks me to write about some thing I am not up to certainly 1 11 dig 'till I find the right answer. To the mother who lost her child with polio here is the story of Krisha; and to the heartbroken heart-broken gal who has fallen out of love with the man she married and doesn't understand why, I send the poem Ashes And Kisha had only one son and he died. In her grief she carried the dead child to all her neighbors, asking them for medicine; med-icine; and the people said, "She has lost her senses. The boy is dead." Then Krisha repaired to Buddha and cried, "Lord and Master, give me medicine that will cure my boy." Buddha answered, "I want a handful of mustard seed." And when the girl in her joy primised to procure it, Buddha added: "The mustard seed must be taken from a house where no one has lost a child, husband, wife or friend-" Poor Krisha now went from house to house and the people pitied her and said, "Here is the mustard seed. Take it." But when Krisha asked: 'Did a son or daughter, a father or mother die in your family?' They answered her: 'Alas, the living are few, but the dead manv. Dn not remind us of our 'deepest grief.' And there was no house that some loved one had not died in. Krisha became weary and hope less and sat down by the way I side, watching the lights of the city as they flickered up and were extinguished again. At last the darkness of the i night reigned everywhere. And) she thought to herself: 'Death is common to all; yet in this valley val-ley of sorrow, there is a path that leads his to immortality.' ASHES The fires of love burned brightly In the days of long ago And joy was ours and hearts beat lightly In the world we used to know. Then something our love dampened damp-ened And the flames began to die And the embers ceased their glowing As the days went fleeting by. Soon the flames had perished I do not know'quite how, But the glow of love has faded, The embers are ashes now. CHOCOLATES Glade Candy Co.
