A valid demon-stratios demon-stratios of this was in evidence at Orem's July 4th holiday holi-day fete. Strictly a non-commercial production, our local Independence Inde-pendence Day celebration was free to the public. Upwards of 8000 people turned out to see the sparkling vaudeville show and a galaxy of fireworks. "... Chairman E. E. Twitchell and his Orem Boosters Inc. ' committee are to be commended for their successful teamwork and organized effort. Those attending the fete are still giving favorable comment. Virtually every Orem resident will now testify that ; Orem City should continue to make the Independence Day celebration an annual affair following the successes of the past two years. Two suggestions we would like to submit to the Orem Boosters Inc. in planning next year's July 4th observance observ-ance are reducing the length of the vaudeville show and capitalizing on the crowning of a queen. A vaudeville show that is too long brings fatigue to spectators regardless regard-less of the caliber of talent. In regards to the reigning of a queen, we feel that it's one 6f the best proven devices for publicizing nad focusing attention on any given event. While everyone agrees that our July 4th celebration should continue, Orem still needs to produce a major celebration that will give us state-wide distinction. As admonished by many of our prominent citizens, we summon "Orem-Scera Days" celebration as a natural climax to the one unique thing for which Orem is noted Scera. Celebrations symbolizing the producing of fruit are common. Pleasant Grove has capitalized on this one. American Fork beat Orem to the punch with its "Steel Days." But Orem-Scera Days with its pageants, parades, swimming and dancing festivals, efficiently organized and presented in the late days of August, coupled with the participation of our own youth would guarantee a success and a state-wide tribute to our community. Our big obstacle is producing organized action that will bring this stellar event to life. We summon Orem Boosters Inc., Scera and the Orem City Council to formulate and crystalize 'Orem Scera Days." Our challenge has been issued. INTElfflGRAM 1. The Book of Genesis is in the (Old) (New) Testament. 2. A sonnet has (24) (14) lines. 3. (Bears) (Buffalos) hibernate in winter. 4.

Mlll.lil Jil BUSY WEEK iwo important im-portant defense measures were passed by the House of Representatives Repre-sentatives this week. The first bill reorganizes the Department of defense nd the second appropriates appropri-ates funds for the coming year. NO BULLETS .... The reorganization reor-ganization bill grows out of a sit-uaation sit-uaation that was uncovered last spring. The new Congress discovered discov-ered that in 1951 there actually was a shortage of ammunition in Korea. But when they tried to find out who was to blame they found that the loose organization and buck passing at the Pentagon mde it impossible to determine who was charged with purchasing ammunition for our boys. IKE SUPPORT .... President Eisenhower has now reorganized the department to that decisions and purchases can be made quickly, efficiently and at a mini mum of administrative cost. The reorganiazation by making one overall head of the military re sponsible to the civilian Secre tary of defense strengthens,, ra ther than weakens, the civilian control over our armed forces as was contemplated by our Constitution. MONEY BILL .. The other legislation passed by the House appropriates $34.4 billion for the armed services next year. This Is $6.2 billion less than the previ- BLOOMER GIRL I Vl5 " ft f?

However, the new President and the new secretary of defense de-fense one a military expert and the other a production wizard said that this was ample, and they should know. ISSUE CONFUSED The president's opponents are trying to convince the people that this savings will weaken our air force. This is not true, ,and the evidence evi-dence proves it. The evidence also shows, many instances where out-and-out waste has occurred. SOME EXAMPLES Hear ings back here uncoverea the fact that the Air Force has pur chased 250,000 steel measuring tapes. Do you think they need a tape for every four airmen? In 1951 the air force shipped 142 miles of nine-foot chain fencing to a depot that didn't exist. OTHER BOBBLES .... The Committee i n v estigating the budget also found that the air force is spending too much money on spare parts. For every 100 planes it buys it has been ordering order-ing the equivalent of 47 others in spare parts which are stored at tremendous expense to the taxpayer. tax-payer. , THE FCT t.' President Eisenhower's Eisen-hower's statement is the answer to those who would attempt to frighten or confuse the people into in-to spending 'more than they can afford for defense. He said (referring (re-ferring the bill the Rouse passed): "Through ; better . programming and organization resulting in part from the recent Congressional appro ap-pro vJ of the edfense reorgaai7a-tion reorgaai7a-tion resulting in part from the recent congressional approval of the Defense reorganization plan, power more swiftly than would otherwise have been likely of achievement."

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Orem-Forum Editor: Am writing to say thanks for a very enjoyable Fourth. Two years ago we attended the "free" fireworks display and I was very impressed. Last Saturday topped all I've seen and enjoyed yet. And my husband and children were just as thrilled. The children ran races my little girl won a prize and my boy really went for the soft-ball soft-ball game. The vaudeville show was superb sup-erb and the fireworks breathtaking. breath-taking. Truly it was wonderful and we compliment and thank you. When I say it was the best "free" entertainment I've ever enjoyed I know what I'm talking about. Being a native Philadelph-ian, Philadelph-ian, I've seen plenty and yours was tops. My husband who is a man of few words and a native Utahn was so amazed and pleesed, he said, "Well, they certainly are to be congratulated. And he expressed express-ed my sentiments when he said, "But they really shouldn't have done it for nothing people would be glad to pay a reasonable admittance ad-mittance price for such fine entertainment Raising two children in these days is costly enough but I wonder won-der how they expect people with large families to enjoy a good old American Fourth of July? In New Jersey and Pennsylvaania where I spent 23 of my fourth of Julys, fireworks and entertainment entertain-ment were always free to celebrate cele-brate our national holiday. Anyway, I don't know how .'ou did it but it was wonderful and we thank you very much. s Sincerely Mrs. Oren L. Harding Lindon P.S. A "thank you" too for the wonderful recreation program my boy enjoys at the Scera every Wednesday.
