Miss Wilkinson's prize winning essay follows: The Challenge to America and Her Youth v. By Janet Wilkinson America what a host of thoughts this magic word incit es in the minds of her citizens. America is synonomous in meaning mean-ing with hope, liberty, freedom, equality, democracy and peace. When we think of America, our mind go automatically back to the stalwart little band of pilgrims who landed on Plymouth Ply-mouth Rock in 1620. But even more significant than this is the story behind the Pilgrims' landing. land-ing. If it were possible fo ask any one of the Pilgrims what America meant to him, he wou ld probably reply, '-America is the fulfillment of a cherished dream. It is the long-awaited privilege of governing ourselves without subjection to tyrannical rule; the right of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience." Still the Pilgrims could not have been cognizant of the great mission mis-sion which the Hand of Divine Providence caused them, through their instrumentality, to perform. per-form. From the foundation they laid, the causes of freedom and democracy have been fostered and nurtured in this great land by brave men and women who have followed. Again, if we were to inquire, of. an immigrant in our coun'ry about what America means to him, would he not tell us of the blessings of economic security to himself and his children; the protection he receives in America Ameri-ca from ignorance, poverty and disease; and the equality of op portunity to every American citizen irrespective of his race, creed, or color? In America, as in no other country of the world, wor-ld, fine people from Italy, Germany, Ger-many, France, Scotland, Poland, Ireland and many other countr ies are knitted closely together by bonds of mutual friendship and unity. Only In America could these conditions exist. Americas liberties did not come without hard work, but ev olved only through the concerted concert-ed effort of many millions of American citizens working together to-gether hand in hand to bring them about. Some lived to see the marvelous fruit of their la bors, while others died before the great dream materialized and became a reality. From its tiny beginning Am erica has survived many turbu lent crises, including the Rev olutionary War, the great Civil War, and more recently World War I and II. ' Innumeable times during the history of our country the freedoms for which our forefathers fought and even laid down their lives to attain Nearly 50 Orcn't business men met with Chief Traffic Engine er Frank S. Sherer of the Utah State Road Commission and the Orem City Council at the City Hall Monday evening to discuss the parallel parking issue. The meeting was held preceeding the regular council meeting. After airing out their respec tive views on the problem the local merchants and the traffic engineer recommended that the council petition the Utah State Road Commission to abandon indefinitely plans for parallel parking on Orem's State Street, U. S. Highway 91. The council submitted the petition to the road commission this week. The meeting was called by Mayor Ray Loveless to determine determ-ine what issues were involved and what recommendations sh ould be made. Consensus of opinion among the buisiness men was that par allel parking would open another ano-ther lane of traffic producing faster traffic, encouraging dou ble parking, and in general in creasing rather than decreasing safety hazards. Safer Traffic Needed . One spokeman ' pointed out that "Orem Is not in need of faster traffic, but safer trarflc." He added that if the business men felt that parallel parking was vitally necessary, and would improve safety conditions more than 45 degree parking would do, there would not be one Orem merchant who would stand in the way of parallel parking. : What action the Utah State Road Commission will take on the Orem parking matter has not been announced. It is known that other Utah cities have not complied with the state law which calls for adoption of parallel parking on any highway high-way passing through a city's business district. - .
