For years we have wondered if these modern day mountaineers ever reached the 09 that is pa nted high on the clif ts above the huge Y, the 09 is for 1909 when the letter was first put on the east mountain. , . As boys we used to spend much time in the vlcin'ty of the Y but to our knowledge we never knew of anyone climbing up to this lettering, except of course the group who put it ut thpre in the first place. The 9 st'U is visible, but very faint. - . The differen1. classes in the past years have been content to put the y?ir they whitewashed white-washed the -huge letter at the foot of the clifts, none of these letters are even close to this 09 that has been on the mountain moun-tain for 50 years. When we say automobile r'de to the Y that is almos1 n nossibility. A car can gt with'n about two or three blocks from the huge letter when the gates are left down. Years ago it was a real Initiation Initi-ation for the Frosh to have to pack '. the material from the school on 6th North in Provo to the Y on the East mountain, when they returned they had been really nitiated. Now they take a m'xer and a truck up within a short distance of the letter. It won't be long until a ready-mix outfit does the job with a spray gun for the students." I hope I live .to see the day when they get a truck up to spray the 09 that has rema'ned aloft for 50 years. . nvTTcn nBF PITT fITTT AT GROVE CREEK A brush fire was put out at Grove Creek near Pleasant Grove, Sunday, by looal fire fighters.

Vol. 32, No. 25 $101,300 Special Improvement District Hinges On City Action The fate of Orem's new Special Improvement District No. F is expected to be decided by the Orem City Council next Monday night when protests from property owners will be studied. Mayor V. Emil Hansen asked for compilation of a list of the protests received at the public hearing held June' 1 outlining the protesting property involved invol-ved and the percentage of the total areas involved. The 15unit special improvement improve-ment district estimated to cost $101,300.00 provides for 6400 City Studies Stop Sign Controversy, Change In Zoning To stop or not to stop-- that was the question Orem city councilmen were puzzling over this week following a discussion dis-cussion on the matter at a recent re-cent Orem City Council meeting. meet-ing. At stake is the traffic "stop" signs located at 600 East and 400 North which residents of the area originally petitioned to have erected to control ve hicle travel in the area. Lack of unanimity among property owners in the area regarding the signs was disclosed dis-closed recently when Reed Cornaby presentd a petition signed by 35 residents of. the northeast area of the community commun-ity protesting the , four-way stop at the 400 North 600East East intersection. At that time Mr. Cornaby said he believed the four-way stop, at the 400 North 400 'jSast intersection was warranted, but that traffic two blocks east did not justify another such traffic halt. " - "Since 400 North is one of the through-way streets of the city only motorists entering the street should be required to stop," Mr. Cornaby said. At that time the petitioners were informed by the Council that such matters were now within the province of the newly new-ly - organized Orem Safety Council, and the matter was turned over to this group for recommendation. Subsequently, the Orem Safety Council made the recommendation, rec-ommendation, along with several sev-eral others, that the four-way stop be retained at the 400 North 600 East intersection. Discussion on the matter at the city council meeting indicated indi-cated that there was some differences dif-ferences of opinion regarding the stop sign among the council, coun-cil, however no formal vote was taken on the question. Bezoning Considered On the agenda for next Monday Mon-day night's City Council meeting meet-ing will be a public hearing on a possible revision of Orem's zoning ordinance. Requests have been made to rezone two separate areas of the city, one from residential to Commercial, and the other from pne Residential catagory to another Residential catagory. cata-gory. The Council has invited all interested parties to present their views and desires regard ing the rezoning of an area from 200 East to the West boundry line of Eli Clayson'i grocery store from Residential 2 to Commercial 1. This would permit further development of the area and result in the providing of additional ad-ditional parking area for customers. cus-tomers. The rezoning of 163 South Street between 400 and 800 West would permit construction con-struction of residences on 65 ft rather than 80 ft. lots.

Civic Club Really Puts Orem On Map The Orem Kiwanis Club has finally put, Orem City on the map! That is, on the map in letters large enough to read It all came about as the re sult of a recent visit to thei club by D. James Cannon, director dir-ector of the Utah State Tourist Tour-ist and Publicity Council, who gave a pictorial presentation of some of Utah's beauty spots. During the course of the meeting Mr. Cannon passed around to club members copies of a color map of Utah which had been prepared by the state. One of the Kiwanians pointed out to Mr. Cannon that the name of Orem shown on the map was printed in- letters much smaller than those for several rather less populated cities. Mr. Cannon promised to look into the matter. This week Mr. Cannon wrote the Orem Kiwanis Club a letter let-ter informing members that he had taken the matter up with the map maker and that next time the map is revised, lo, the name of Orem will appear in a size type much morein-dicative morein-dicative of its status as Utah's sixth city.
