V, A Unregistered, Abandoned Cars May be Impounder1 Orem City Police Depart ment is keeping its collective eye on unregistered orphans--those cars without 1963 plates which are left parked on the city streets. Under city law, such cars are subject to being impounded. impound-ed. Orem's ordinance limits parking to ten hours, after which the car may be impounded. im-pounded. According to Orem officers, the state assesses a $100 fine to get the car out of impoundment. Any car without 1963 registration regis-tration must be parked on its owner's property, o f f i cers pointed out. As part of the city's spring clean-up campaign, cam-paign, the police would like to clear the streets of abandoned aband-oned cars. Not only are these cars an eyesore occassionally, but they often take up a needed parking park-ing space, and always are in the way of street sweepers, garbage collecters and other such workers.

An informal survey showed that the great majority of cor sages were purchased in Orem.

He said many students had thanked him for the city's ' support in last spring's Band drive, and some had even promised that he had another window washing coming. com-ing. Mouse Photograph Requested , We get a lot of requests for different things in our office. Last week we got a request for a picture of a mouse. It is a little out of season for us to accommodate this party, if she could wait until fall when the mice, are looking for a winter quarters we could help her. Each fall we have small furry visitors from the nearby fields; I know they would pose for ar picture if the girls would use the camera instead of the broom. Political Apathy One of our influential citi zens called on us the other day and was asking for our opinion on candidates for Orem's coming election. From the rumors we can pick up, at least two of the present councilmen might not tnrow their harts into the ring for another go at City positions. However, this is strictly a rumor, but where there is smoke, fire usually follows. Some of the businessmen in Orem feel they should have a man on the council who is better- acquainted with the problems confronting tht average business man. - ' Our only answer to this nuestion is that this fall when the election comes up Is the time to remedy his problem. DONT WAIT until, after the nominarting meeting and election, elect-ion, and then complain about it. OREM is blessed with many men who would make .good councilmen and city leaders. For example, I would suggest sug-gest such men as (if they will consent to run for office) Glen Robertson, Charles Rohbock, Roh-bock, Marion Clark, Howard Farnsworth, Jack Ekins, John Huish, Tom Gaisford, Russ Park, Wayne Allen, Glen Harker, Scott Wilkins, DeLynn Heaps, Leon Frazier, Bill Cox, John Gillman, Eli Clayson, Glade Gillman, Marvin Bur-gon, Bur-gon, Clyde Lunceford, Alma Burton, Sidney Gilbert, R. G. Cornell, Harry Lindley, Dr. R. B. Greenwood, Dr. Verlan Anderson, Tom Varley, . Torn Reese, Paul Washburn, Gilbert Jensen, Bernard Mott, Robrt Thome, Richard Robins, Winston Wins-ton Crawford, Dee Pyne and Emerson Hardy. On the feminine side, we suggest sug-gest Mrs. Helen Stoddard and Mrs. Piper. I have just named a few, whom I think would do a fine job, if the various parties Could get them to consent to run for office. The positions that will be up for election this fall art those of Council-men Council-men Laird D. Billings, Alvin Rowley, and Harley Gillman. Clean-up Paint-up This years clean-up paint-up campaign is being spearheaded by the Orem Chamber" of Commrce promises to be one of the best conjoint efforts every put on by the civic organizations or-ganizations of Orem and Orem City. A concentrated drive is going to be put on to have the vacant lots in Orem either plowed, disked or cleaned up. It was brought out in the recent meeting that too many lots are becoming an eyesore to the city. Many of these lots have been purchased by real estate speculators, and are becoming be-coming fire hazards to the surrounding sur-rounding residents. Letters will be sent to owners of these various lots requesting that they be taken care of. Should the owners fall to do so, the lots will be cleaned up by the city and the owners own-ers sent the bill. It is hoped that every resident will cc-operte cc-operte in this big drive that will be conducted April 21-27.

Sewer Extension The necessity of furnishing sewage service to tne new Orem Junior High School was discussed by the Council. The extension to the sewer line had been planned in the hope of receiving federal funds under the Accelerated Public Works Program.
