There are definite social and economic trends in the United States today that intimately affect our lives and habits and of which we should be very much aware. Small towns are fast becoming the satellites of larger towns. Autoroads have made mobiles and good it possible for people to reach the larger and better equipped towns quickly and easily. As consequence, farmers and small towners go there for shopping, entertainment, and in many cases for education. Scores of small towns which formerly were the shopping centers of their districts have suddenly awakened to the realization that they are all-weat- CENTENNIAL being left off the "trade routes" even their own residents finding it more pleasant and prof itable to go elsewhere for their buying and fun. Literally, to remain on the map a town must offer its residents and those in the neighborhood the modern conveniences of life . . . electricity, running water, and adequate sanitary sewers. These are not luxuries any more than good homes are luxuries. They are necessities if Lehi is to be attractive to its residents and to those who are looking for a place to live, shop, or set up business. For the moment let's forget about all the advantages of sewers from the standpont of health and disease prevention. Let s forget about the advantages they bring in the way of increased comfort and convenience. Instead let's think about sewers solely in terms of what they would mean financially to our community. A modern sewer system would make Lehi busimore attractive to small and medium-size- d inwould mean nesses and industries. That creased employment and greater purchasing power for Lehi. Waste disposal is an important problem with many types of industrial plants and they will never choose a location without sewers to handle that problem. Concerns also have to keep in mind whether the site they choose is going to be a healthful one for their employes. They don't like to take chances with towns lacking sewers. We should remember also that with sewers Lehi will be a more attractive market place Streets will for the surrounding country-sid- e. be cleaner and better drained. There will be sanitary facilities available for visitors. Sewers would call for a remarkably small investment as far as each of us is concerned. For the average family it would amount to only a few cents a day. The more we think about it the more we're convinced that we should have sewers in Lehi. Centennial license fands that may be attached to license plates are available in limited quantities at fifty cents each. The purple and white fands with an artistic ox team and wagon design may be purchased from E. B. Garrett or authorized agents.

"He has just returned from 2 years overseas service and is getting a leave before reassignment His mother has been very sick and I think he might help her to get well. We are living on our family allowance and whatever money my son can send, but I've scraped together this $25. Can you give me enough more to bring him home?" After verifying the facts, the Home Service worker sent a telegram to the Red Cross field director at the boy's camp, telling of the father's request and of the offer of the twenty-fiv- e dollars he could so ill afford. The following day she received an answering wire from the field director: Under federal statute and regulations of the Army, the nt Mrs. HOME HEXT MONTH Sarah E.

This left the sergeant's family without housing, and 25 head of cattle without care. The Red Cross helped the soldier get emergency leave, helped him find suitable living quarters for his wife, and arranged for quick sale of his livestock. The sergeant then returned to duty, content in the knowledge that his wife and two small children were provided for.
