" 1 The team will be shown from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The public is invited to come and see this championship team. Today, only a few Six Horse Hitches remain in this country. The horses in the Corn King hitch are 6 matched Clydesdales from Scotland, Canada and the United States. The Clydesdale breed originated In Scotland near the river Clyde in about 1810., They are descended from the great Flemish horses of the armored ar-mored knights during the Middle Ages. The modern Clydesdales still possess the strength and agility of their Flemish ancestors, ances-tors, which were required to carry a knight and 400 pounds of armor. . On the average, the horses in this hitch weigh over 2,000 pounds each. They pull one of the original meat delivery wagons, which weighs over 4,400 pounds and is over 65 years old. Each shoe for these huge animals contains about 3 12 pounds of steel in contrast to approximately 11 ounces required requir-ed for the shoe of an average saddle horse. In addition each horse carries about 110 pounds of harness when they are fully outfitted. out-fitted. During 43 years of competition competi-tion at Chicago's International Livestock Exposition, this team and predecessor teams have won more championships than all other competing hitches combined com-bined - a total of 27 International Six Horse Hitch championships and 9 consecutive championships r r-'Vi THE SIX HORSE HITCH - Big enough to make two of any ordinary horse, each one of these six draft horses Is plenty Impressive. This championship team will be on display In Orem Saturday from 10:30 a.m. tUl 12:30 p.m. at Albertson's parking lot. The public is invited in the last 10 years. The Corn King hitch remains undefeated champion of that show. The Six Horse Hitch originated in the period when the six-horse team was a intergral unit in the transportation system of such industries as packing houses, breweries, dairy companies and hay and grain companies. Prior to the coming of the motortruck, the packing houses utilized horses for the local delivery of fresh meat and meat products, and they were harnessed Into various sized teams ( of 2, 4, or 6 horses), depending upon the bulk of the delivery to be made. With the end of World War I and the coming of the motor truck, the era of draft horses drew to a close. As the horses were gradually grad-ually replaced by trucks, the various companies disbanded their teams one by one. In the packing industry, only one company com-pany maintained a Six Horse Hitch to compete in the show ring with the teams of other industries, who kept their teams for show features and advertising advertis-ing purposes. During the years of World War II, the drawing power of the Six Horse Hitch became inescapably inescap-ably apparent. In the United States, a new generation had grown up In the towns and cities, and many had never seenhorses.

Compulsory Garbage Collection Study Slated By City Council ConiDulsory garbage collection in Orem - a perennial topic - came In for a spirited discussion at the Orem City Council meeting meet-ing Monday night.

"The Orem City Council has not yet adopted a philosophy re-gar re-gar ding the development of parks, Mr. Paramore said. 'It would be well if such a philosophy could be adopted and mplemented as funds become available," he said. HALF MILLION Looking at Orem's long-range needs, land for parks, a golf .course and recreation areas could cost over ? 500,000, Mr. Paramore Indicated. 'We could at least begin to option park sites now and plan for future development," he said. "Councilman Lowell Thomson said, 'There is a lot to be said for getting some kind of plan to work towards. Unless we know what the needs are going to be, unless we have a time schedule, we won't have a very well lald- out city 20 or 30 years from now." The Council authorized consul tation with a professional planning plann-ing consultant to project the city's park needs and indicate the di rection Orem's park planning should take. HUMANE SOCIETY . In other action, the Council discussed a request from the local Humane Society requesting the construction by the city of a dog pound adequate to housedogs in a humane manner.

Contract Water Billing System Gives Trouble The Orem City Council took a close look at the city's new contract con-tract IBM Billing service Monday night and came to the conclusion that the hoped for savings contemplated con-templated by conversion to the new system have not as yet been realized. The analysis of the water bill ing system came as a result of a presentation by John Bingham, intern city manager, of a proposal pro-posal to upgrade the position of billing clerk to the new title of 'assistent to the city treasurer. Mr. Bingham explained that conversion to the data processing system has resulted in a change in the actual and proposed duties of the person employed formerly as the billing clerk. DECREASE EXPECTED Mayor G. Milton Jameson and members of the Council said they understood that contracting out the billings Would result in an acutal decrease In the city employees em-ployees required to handle this work. City. Manager Earl Wengreen told the Council conversion to the new system has been a technical, time-consuming process which noon at their annual Art Tea.

I Councilman Harley M.Gillman declared, "I believe It should come eventually but in its own due time. That time should be when it possible to reduce the culinary -water rate after our A.P.W. project pro-ject is paid for. There Is a great public morale factor involved here, Mr. Gill-man Gill-man said. . The Council voted to authorize Councilman Larson to make a detailed study of the present garbage collection service and make his recommendations to the Council regarding it at an early date. has yet to result in any savings to the city. Just about solved, however," Mr. Wengreen said. He told the Council he felt it is important to have someone able to 'back up the city treasurer' in his absence, and also to assist him with some of his work. We feel this transition provides pro-vides a natural means of accomplishing accomp-lishing this goal," he said. COUNCIL DECIDE Councilman Lowell Thomson said the Council should decide If a new position Is to be authorized and whether it should be that of assistant city manager, or some other title. The Council tabled action to the reclassification proposal pending a future report on the operation of the billing system. In other action, the Council authorized the employment of a man to serve as supervisor of the Neighborhood Youth Corps in Orem this summer.
