Show THURSDAY, DECEMB a THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN PAGE 4-B EDITORIAL Special Programs Arranged For Next Sunday Morning Do we in American Fork have a blue print to progress or a plan. to grow sagebrush In our streets? A growing city of six thousand people cannot exist, not to mentibn progress, if it is huilt on a foundation of cesspools. It takes little vision to know that we are at the cross roads either we grasp the opportunity to go forward with an expansion program or the opportunity will pass us oy. Many new businesses came to American Fork last year, and wp hoDe manv more will come. Outside capital can build us manv more industries if we have something to offer them. One of the first problems a plant of any size has is that of sewage disposal. They cannot-even consider sepuc tanks and cessDOols draw your own conclusions. There are other communities that are smaller than American Fork that have bonded and installed a sewage system with considerable success. Every citizen has probably taken some time to figure what the cost of a sewer line will 'be to him. Actually he will be money ahead if he has an available sewer line with which to connect. The minute the hook-up is made, the value of his property is increased $1,000. We have problems like securing new industries and payrolls, pay-rolls, developing the business section, more adequate housing, hous-ing, rjarkinc Droblems. and developing canyon recreation areas. By everyone pushing in the same direction toward a common goal nothing can keep us from achieving our oDjec-tives. oDjec-tives. Let's think big, let's dare to be big, let's grow big in American Fork. GREETINGS May this Christmas season prove to be A happy one for you, And may the year that lies ahead Be just as joyous too. Jaycee Wives, Mrs. Ersel Fagan, president Mrs. Irvin M. Chipman, vice president Mrs. David Teague, secretary. REAL CHRISTMAS JOY As Christmas approaches each of us would like to feel that we have done something to add to another's happiness at this season. . The joy that Christmas normally brings is not complete unless we have that inner satisfaction that comes with knowing know-ing we have made a contribution to the welfare of others, that we have overlooked no little thing that might make this Christmas a better Christmas. Each person may know of some special thing he can do to make Christmas happier for another. For one person, it may be buying a doll for a neglected child. -For another, it mav be sending a basket of fruit to an invalid. But, regard less of what we may do for individuals, there is one thing all of us can do for everyone in the community, inciuaing our selves.
