WHAT WE HAVE coming to share in the then uninviting un-inviting place which our pioneers tolled so hard to develop.' There ar esome things you can't ' buy- in Orem but we are blessed with natural wealth that can't be bought in the shopping centers of Los Angeles County or any other shopping center on earth. We have a lot of fine stores and services here in Oram. ; A-round A-round a hundred businesses. They employ more than 300 people. We have three fine drug stores, the best lumber yards, finest grocery stores, one of the uest hardware stores In the county, barber shops, doctors, dentists, service stations, : cleaners, sporting sport-ing goods, appliance stores and an up and coming newspaper, and dozens of other first class services. serv-ices. Most of these have been developed de-veloped during the last ten years. Space is gone. Why not support the business we already have so they can grow into what we need? Let's support our City Council in their efforts to enlarge our water lines and increase and Improve our drinking water. The money your city council spends is one of our best Investments. Most of us spend far more for trivial things than the increase in taxes we are asked for from time to time to make our city a better place in which to live. Yours for developing and appreciating ap-preciating what we already have. Oscar H.
