Citken Dsicusses Good To Come From City Beautification Mr. Editor: I hve fceen aaked to give my opinion and to announce my views as to tho good, that will , come to the citizens tn American Fork through the offer of the Agricultural College. The city beautiful campaign is beginning be-ginning to assume r "splendid ' life, nearly every property owner , where approached and the situation ex-plalped ex-plalped Is willing to co-operate. Shade trees are being ordered, certain cer-tain trees for certain streets, shrubs are beginning t arrive and it will not be long until there will be a splendid change in the looks of our city. Let every property owner take a look at his sidewalks, his fences, his buildings, build-ings, his trees and see If there isn't something that needs repair, or painting. If every family will take a pride in co-operating on this splendid movement by clearing up their premises and repairing their buildings and painting them it will not be long until American Fork will be pointed out as a model place to live besides thone who already reside here frill be more pleased. '" April 13th to 18th, one whole week has been designated by the mayor and committee as cleanup week. Wednesday, Wed-nesday, April 15th, will be Arbor Day. The business houses will no doubt all close on that day and if the schools, the churches, the citizens all unite we can make our streets and our homes look like we have an interest in them. Where there are widows or feeble people, the committee should see to It that the boy scouts and" the civil organizations are asked to co-operate and make a thorough cleaning.- The city could afford to haul away the rubbish for such Individuals and consequently con-sequently every lot will" receive the necessary attention. The movement Inaugurated by the city to beautltv and cleanup our streets and properties proper-ties certainly meets with my approval ap-proval and I want to say to the mayor and committees that you will have my willing support in any plan that will help to bring results. I am aware that them will be some cost attached to these contemplated improvements, im-provements, but let every person do what he or she can toward the movement move-ment and through entertainments and efforts that can be put forth, those who are not able can be helped help-ed by a united community interest. Every person who has been asked to work on the committee, should be willing to accept and work with due diligence and give the city a little free service for the good of the whole. I feel the city has undertaken a real job and I also feel that in a few years the people will be willing to cry their praises and favorably ex press their appreciation. Yours Interested In the efforts of the committee and the results that will naturally come to us one and all. I am, yours truly, 8. L.

' ''l : j Junior Prom Big Success Decorations Likeness of Cave The annual Junior Promenade, given by the Junior class of the high school in the new gymnasium Friday night, climaxed all social events of the school year. Unique, clever and distinctive are the words which best describe the decorative scheme which was carried out to represent Timpanogos Cave. , . Upon entering the building one found oneself .walking through a pathway which lead through fragrant pines the invigorating odor of which lent a real touch ot the out of doors. Shrubs and vines cleverly arranged transformed the hall Into a mountain side. The inner doorway, a duplicate of the huge door which bars entrance to Timpanogos Cave, was made of rough lumber and upon it was tacked . warning card not to carry away "souvenirs". The gymnasium itself was completely com-pletely transformed and was a veritable veri-table mass of stalactltles and stalac-mltes. stalac-mltes. Suspended from the celling in shades and shapes rivaling thoso of the real cave were myriads of stalactites. Dlredtly in the center was arranged the "Heart of Timpanogos' Timpan-ogos' and a most beautiful effect was produced by four spot lights, ope in each direction, which played upon it during the entire evening. The varicolored lighting effects from concealed places gave enchant ing atmosphere and so real waa the-i effect produced one almost shivered from the suggested, "chilliness". The entire east end of the building Boys, Get Ready The advanced Scouta of the Tim-panogos Tim-panogos Council are to take another trhp through central Utah to . Bryce) canyon and back.
