I Traffic Accident 'fill A. AAA. A OREM 1 nrm-iii ! At a recent meeting of the city J .council, the highway hazard be-. be-. tween 16th and 18th South in Orem was brought up for. much discussion. , The council, decided to have' City 'Manager , O. V. Farnsworth submit a letter to the state highway authorities ".requesting ".re-questing a light at Sixteenth South, and also asking for a re duction in the speed from 60 to 40 miles through this zone. The council is now , awaiting word from the state authorities. It has been the attitude in the past of the state highway commission com-mission that the 50 mile speed limit in south Orem, and 40 through Orem was necessary to get the traffic through, regardless regard-less of who or what it hurt. When traveling to Salt Lake City you are cut down to 30 miles in most of the towns or congested areas, but still here in Orem where we have a population of nearly 14,000 people who are using the highway, we have a 40-50 mile limit. These residents have as much right to cross in safety or get off and on in safety as the motorists who are going hell-bent for no place in particular. Again we say the statistics are not even consistent J. Clyde Ward, a veteran in the jewelry business for the past 25 years, has taken over the old Mitchell Jewelry at 34 West Center Cen-ter Street, Provo. Clyde was formerly for-merly wih the Mullett Jewelry. We take this opportunity to wish Clyde well in his undertaking. under-taking. Clyde is an enthusiastic outdoors man, which he resorts to for a hobby. He is very active with the local kennel club. A-l Diversion If you want to cool off in the evenings, and enjoy a few pleasant pleas-ant hours of relaxation, visit the Orem City Softball park any evening except Saturday and Sunday and watch some of the ball games. Be sure to take a sweater or coat as the breeze that comes out of Provo Canyon is very cool, and it never fails. Back From Mesa Verde ' The Orem 12th Ward individual indivi-dual award winners and a company com-pany of advisors and chaperones, enjoyed a trip to Mesa Verda National Na-tional Park recently. The group was under tlfe supervision of Bishop Bi-shop Laird D. Billings, and First counselor Stanford Taylor. About 50 in all made the trip. Strike of Strikes The strike of all strikes is the one in Frisco where they refuse to bury the dead. We have always felt that we had to prepare ourselves our-selves to go on the other side. but before we . get through we ! would not be surprised if you were required to take out a union membership and be a paid up member in good standing. Running Close Second Hard working Wayne Gammon, ex. Jaycee president, felt pretty blue when the Layton, Utah Club outdone his club by 28 points for state honors. But Wayne felt a lot better after attending the national na-tional convention recently, as Layton won the Clarence A. Howard How-ard award as the outstanding Jaycee organization in the nation. Orem came in for many honors also. When it takes a champion like Layton to nose you out, it gives one a lot of satisfaction. i ' "MSIE m SPEIilT '23 DRAMATIC SCENE from "Come Next Spring" pictures Walter Brennan, Sherry Jackson, Rad Fulton .Steve Cochran, Richard Eyer and Ann Sheridan.

Yes' Vote For Wheatf Referendum Urged By Farmers Union On July 20th, wheat farmers will be asked to vote for or against marketing quotas on their 1957 wheat crop. If two-fhirds pf the farmers voting vote "Yes", then the price of wheat will stay between 75 and 90 precent of parity (at present the price of wheat is 84 percent of parity). However, if less than two-thirds .f the farmers voting vote "yes' acreage allotments will still be in effect but wheat growers who plant more than their allotment will receive no price supports. Those who stay within their allotment al-lotment will be eligible for 50 percent of parity price supports, A "Yes" vote will mean ap proximately 75 cents per bushel more for wheat in 1957. This will mean an average of $15.00 per acre for Utah wheat growers. Based on the 1950 Agriculture Census, this would mean over $6 million to Utah farmers. the first appearance in the valley, DOWNBEATS BOOKED FOR Downbeats, a sextette from Provo, Orem Swimming Pageant slated in two performances on Monday, July 22 at the Scera Pool.
