Dr. Carter recommended that one of the best ways of increasing increas-ing facilities for mental treatment treat-ment as well as attracting competent com-petent trained specialists would be to enlist more people in the state and national Mental Health Associations. In this way more people would be better informed and could appeal to their state legislatures for improved treat" ment facilities for the mentally sick. He pointed out that at the present time existing state laws appear to regard mental hospitals as being custodial Institutions rather than a treatment center and a rehabilitation center for the mentally ill. Five special kuests were In at tendance at the luncheon. They were Jim Dalrymple of Vernal, Ray Heal of Orem, Charles ses sions of Provo Kiwanis Club, dis trict chairman of Kiwanis Key Clubs for the Utah-Idaho District; Dis-trict; and Steve Burningham and Hal Hutchinson, Lincoln High School students.

Already building build-ing permit valuations thus far this year total well over one million dollars. City Building Inspector In-spector Lloyd Louder reports that it is quite probable that an additional three million dollars in consruction valuation will be forthcoming during the remain der of the year which will bring the total for the year to over four million dollars. In the event ev-ent that a contemDlated milHnn dollar shopping center starts this year me total building valuation will exceed the $5 million mark, Although the building permit for the new Orem Hfgh School was issued last year, the 1 million mil-lion dollar building is still under construction and is also contributing contri-buting an additional amount to the building evaluation picture for the year, At the present time three chapels in the city are under un-der construction as well as one new elementary school. In the commercial division two service stations are nearing co -pletion; also one Karaee for an auto wrecking yard, an addition a grocery store, and two automobile auto-mobile trailer courts are either in the process of construction or will be in the near future. In the residential divisions building permit have been la- sued for 135 new homes thus far 1 '. 4 this year. An estimate of 500 newv homes in Orem this.vear Hie prediction of many building experts ex-perts and city officials. Scores of permits have been issued also for coops and garages which will continue through the year as well. Prospects also appear bright for construction of at least one and possibly two chapels before the year Is completed. Last year Orem led the countv in the number of permits issued with 344, which had a total valuation valu-ation of $3,607,000. Orem is again expected to set the pace in building build-ing and population growth in 1956 for Utah County.
