Dr. Nayardi of Bradley U., formerly for-merly of Hungary, who has sat across the bargaining table from Stalin - and his henchmen, is now an exile from Hungary and living in this country. Nayardi gave one of the most sincere and straight forward talks on communism and its methods we have ever heard. He told of the Russian regime's ultimate goal toward this country. The speech made one appreciate the freedoms we enjoy in this country a great deal more. We feel that the Press Association missed the boat by not having this speech recorded and played back to the schools and university of this area as a public service. The other talk was given by Mr. Clyde, a government authority author-ity on the Colorado River project. Mr. Clyde told of second feet of water, and treaties of the Colorado Colo-rado river, the effects this project will have on the growth of upper basin states (which is us). He left no doubt in any listener's mind that this project is a must as far as the upper basin states of the Colorado river are concerned. Convention members a resolution that they would gfet behind this project and throw the weight of every newspaper in the state in this fight to get this project pro-ject underway. As we see the whole thing this is what the project amounts to: The lower basin states, mainly Southern California, Is guaranteed guaran-teed s much water from the Colorado river, if the season is a dry one, and the river is low the lower basin states still get their guarantee before the upper basin states can touch a drop. So the project would store the water during dur-ing the wet seasons holding it over soye would be guaranteed some water even during drough years. It amounts to this in a nutshell, nut-shell, our share of the Colorado river is running into the sea. Because Be-cause after California gets her share we' are entitled to have what is left. The future growth of the whole upper basin will be hampered if this project fails, for the lack of water. RIDE WITH THE "VIGILANTES" The Aqualante committees have been organized all over the state, Aqualante meaning Water Vigi-ante. Vigi-ante. Write your representatives in Washington, get your 'relatives in other states to write theirs in our behalf on this project. This is one project we cannot let fall by the wayside, and if California has her way it will do just that RUG WEAVER GETS NATIONAL ACCLAIM In a recent article and picture, the Orem - Geneva Times displayed dis-played Mrs. Joseph W. Clark of Orem, sitting beside a huge braided braid-ed rug she had braided herself. We stated in the article that we thought it was the biggest rug of its kind in this area. The picture and the accomplishment accomplish-ment of Mrs. Clark was so unique and newsworthy that the NEA asked permission to run the picture pic-ture in their service. Thus the picture has been run in hundreds of papers all over the United States. Mrs. Clark has received over a hundred letters to date, asking' her about the rug and complimenting her on her achievement. Thus far no one has challenged the statement of it being be-ing the biggest in this area. Now we extend that challenge to any where in the United States. The rug is about 9x12. We think it would add to our county exhibit at the state fair this fall. MAIL CARRIER COMMENDED Postmaster Clyde- E.

Due to the location and method of collecting col-lecting water in many of the systems, sys-tems, surface contamination can not be kept out and it will, therefore, there-fore, be necessary to chlorinate these systems.

Pleasant Grove has Dlanned a complete sewage collection sys tem and treatment plant which should be completed earlv In 1956. Other cities including Lehi ana Orem have employed engineers engi-neers to make studies and recom mendations for' improving their towns. Spanish Fork and fayson have yet to start on improvements . for treating their , community wastes. .
