Clayton Jenkins, executive secretary of the Provo Chamber of Commerce, was on hand to tell i prospective members of the advantages and organization of a Chamber of Commerce, and how 2 i4 j a Lehi group could affiliate with the county, state and national organizations. One prime advantage for Lehi of afflication with the United States Chamber of Commerce was cited by Mr. Jenkins. This community would be able to draw on information compiled by the national organization in order to solve some of its problems. For example, Lehi is now faced with many problems in connection with the planning and financing of a sewer system.

Maurice J. (Brig) Dahl, Jaycee president, reports that the factfinding survey will be conducted as a civic service in order to acquaint Lehi citizens with the need for a sewer system. Voting on the sewer project has been proposed for this fall's municipal election, and the survey will be undertaken so that the citizens will have more information at hand when they make up their minds how to vote. Three other Lehi organizations have been asked by the Jaycees to assist in the survey the Lehi Wildlife Association, Lions club, and Lehi Riding club. The Wildlife association has already pledged its support, and officers of the Lions and Riding club will take the matter up with club members at their next meetings. Mr. Dahl emphasizes that the survey is not intended in any way to force individual residents to clean up or repair their sewage disposal facilities, corrals or other places. It will be carried out only to get an over-a- ll picture of Lehi's sewer problem and determine just how badly a sewer system is needed. When all information is in, a complete report will be compiled and released to the public. All information about individual premises will be kept strictly confidential, Mr. Dahl emphasized. One of the questions to be asked (Continued on Inside Page; Work on Well At Elementary School Complete The well at the new Lehi EleSchool has now been completed, and a good stream of water is now pouring from it, according to George I. Bone, Lehi school board representative. Mr. Bone said the well was sunk to a depth of 310 feet before a good stream free from sand or clay was secured. Workmen struck water at 150 feet, but it was in a sand formation, and the sand continually clogged the pump. The stream will be ample to water the school grounds, and a pump will soon be installed to distribute it over the school area. h Mr. Bone reported that the well pipp was sunk by Eldon Comer. A spillway has been con structed on the west side to carry any excess water into the irri gation canal. "Our Historic Yesteryears" Trumpet Trio, "Rubato Caprice" LLiti'S XEW ARCTIC CIRCLE . . .
