THEN THE ROAD CAVED TN The Orem City Street department had a hectic weekend week-end trying to keep roads open and sewer trenches close, as irrigation turns got under way last week. The water seeped Into sewer trenches thus making them settle and the roads caved in at various points throughout through-out the city. Above a tree is planted by some resident in the midde of the street on 17th south and 16th south in Orem.

Mr. Kitchen brought this article ar-ticle in on his own. This experience ex-perience again illustrates to us and the advertisers how our paper is read, and if you offer a bargain no matter what it is and advertise in this paper, you will get results. Dear Editor, Some times at my age, I get a little excited and speak out of my turn. About three weeks ago, I advertised ad-vertised that I would give a lot to the City of Orem if they would build a library on it. It seemed as though the paper had just come off the press when a man called and asked my name. I told him my name and he said to me, "You must be the man I'm lookng for," as he pulled the Orem-Geneva Times article from his pocket. At once I thought, "What have I done now?" I will admit ad-mit that I am slow in thinking most of the time, but not this time. The gentleman was well dres-ed dres-ed and at once it popped into my mind he was a doctor (I had three doctors call on me within the last four months). I will say that he was .very polite in what he was saying. As I recall he said to me, "Did you offer to give the lot to the City of Orem?" I did not know what answer to give him for a moment. I hung my head and said in a low voice, "Yes." Then he said to me, "Are you crazy?" At this time, I did not say a word. It seemed that my heart stopped beating. As we stood there, it seemed an hour, but it was only a jiffy. He said "My company has sent me down from Salt Lake City with this check for $10,000 to buy this lot of yours if you have not made the deal." By this time, I did get ex cited. I dashed into the house to tell my wife about the deal I was making and she in re turn got more excited than I, and about all she said was "If that is so I am going to Call fornia." I don't remember what else she said but the next mor. ning before I got out of bed she bade me goodby and that is the last I saw of her. Anyway, I am here alone. Here is where they are gong to take me Just east of Provo. Thomas L.
