OREM Tigers Slip In Backdoor Of State Tourney Playoffs; Spanish Fork Knocked Out by Payson The Lincoln High Tigers slipped slip-ped into a playoff with either Lehi or Pleasant Grove. The latter lat-ter two teams represent Division One of Region Three (Alpine Division). Di-vision). Tuesday, Springville, the leading team of Division Two, beat the Tigers, 51-42, on the Tiger court while Spanish Fork lost to Payson. The loss by the Dons gave the Lincoln hoopsters the right to play for a tourney spot. In case the Tigers are beaten by the Alpine division runnerup, they still get another chance to get into the tourney by playing the fourth spot team of Region Two, which will be either Park City or Morgan. To our knowledge this Is the first time a team ever had a chance to get into the state high school classic afer losing seven and winning five games. Lincoln has potentially a strong team, but so far this season they have been hot one night and cold another. Coach Berdean Jarman has tried about every combination combina-tion of players possible, trying to find a winning combination. The only two who are sure of starting start-ing positions are Chad Moon and Sherm Holdaway. Moon, however, how-ever, suffered a wrenched knee in the last game and, if this takes him out of the line-up, Lincoln tourney chances will be greatly reduced. This might be the last chance for Lincoln to participate In a state tourney for many moons, as they are in all probability going to be competing with A teams for a tourney berth in the near fu-ure. fu-ure. Many observers believe this change will be made when Lincoln Lin-coln goes into .their new high school. The Tigers have partici pated in state tourney play only twice in their history. Both the teams that went to the tourna men were coached by Evan Baugh, one of which won the consolation trophy. . ,,. f? M i CHAMBER HEAD I. Robertson.

The project adopted by She Orem Junior Chamber of Commerce Com-merce to call public attention to the findings and recommenda tions of the second Hoover Com-' mission is one of the finest an organization of this kind could undertake, according to Governor Gover-nor J. Bracken Lee who commended com-mended the Jaycees this week for their educational campaign on the Hoover report. "One of the grave dangers that confronts this nation, in my opinion, op-inion, is a strong centralized government," gov-ernment," Gov. Lee stated. "Our tendency in recent years has been in this direction, despite the dan gers that exist. New agencies have been added to government; questionable ques-tionable services have been permitted per-mitted to continue, and more and more duplication has been created. creat-ed. Perhaps some of this is inevitable in-evitable in our form of government, govern-ment, but there is no reason why some of the defects should not be corrected." The Hoover Commission more properly known as ' the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of Government Govern-ment was established to consolidate consoli-date governmental activities, eliminate eli-minate duplication and reduce costs. "Out of a two-year study of this project, in" which I participated partici-pated in a small way, a final report re-port was prepared which could, if its recommendations were adopted, produce savings of over $5 billion a year," the Govts, or said. "This two-year study with all its worthwhile recommendations will be a meaningless thing, h.""- ever, unless the people who are paying the cost of govenrnent demand Us adoption. But before the people can demand the adop tion of the report, they first must know something about it, which is where the Jaycee program comes in." "It is important that a bned public understanding of the Hoover Hoo-ver Commission report and its many recommendations be creat ed. There is a Citizens Commit tee established for this very purpose pur-pose which will welcome any support sup-port it receives, as will the Orem Junior Chamber of Commerce and other groups working toward this common goal." "I commend the Hoover Com- llUH l.M l 4.1 U1I Here is a comprehensive study report of the organization of government gov-ernment which offers a means whereby enormous savings In taxpayers tax-payers funds can be made. Certainly Cer-tainly a project having this objective ob-jective is worthy of support." A rat control i campaign will be held in Utah County during the week of March 3 to 17.
