Emery McKellip, Roy Park and Dean appointment of committees to serve for the Lincoln High School Park in charge of the exhibit, and to District in assisting the Administration to put over its organization the local growers. Some think that in that territory. H. Grant Ivins of Pleasant View was named as Sharons Harvest Festival helped not chairman and Alverda De Lange as secretary, with the following a little to make the growers named as committee members: Walter H. Holdaway of Vineyard, Congratulations Orem. Elvin Lunceford of Ray, Fair-minde- d. Orem also stepped out in front in the organization of the Metropolitan Water District under the new law. It leceived its certificate from the Secretary of State last week and promptly named Judge A. H. Christensen, Enie-r- y McKellip, a member of the present Town Board, and Bishop B. M. Jolley of the Sharon ward the three directors of the new public corporation. This choice has received the hearty approval of most of Orem residents. A stronger board could hardly have been named. Judge Cl ristensen has had wide experience in water matters, both as Judge and as a trial lawyer and advisor. Mr. McKellip is a substantial farmer and fruit grower and has resided for a long time in the community, and as a member .of the Town Board has come in close contact with the needs of the community. Bishop Jolley, while younger in experience than the other men, is well trained, has had experience as a farmer, irrigator and has served on the Town Board. Some one remarked the other day that it looked like Sharon should have bus transportation to and from Provo. A large number of residents from the Stake, and particularly Orem, make the daily trip to Provo and back. Most of them ate employed there and go and come practically the same hours. It looks like a sensible thing would be to travel together. A bus line is a possibility. Think it over. ' t i i . Speaking of W.P.A. projects, why shouldnt all of the communtties in Sharon Stake get busy and gel at least a tenni court out of the present ? W.P.A. wants projects to put men to work immediately and must have these undertakings ready by November 1st, when it Is planned to take all the employables off the dole and put them to work. Most of the communities could raise part of the money for the material for a good tennis court All of the work would be furnished by the W.P.A, and probably some of the money for materials. Why not get busy at once before it is too late? set-up- t The territory around Lincoln High and Spencer schools resembles an ant hill during school Jays. There are now about 800 students at the senior high, junior high and primary grades. Rumor has it that the people living in Grandview have requested the Board of Education to take their primary students to Spencer. If this should be done the school population at Lincoln and Spencer wopld be one of ti.e largest in the county, exceeded only by the Provo schools. A good story comes out of Salt Lake, anent the visit of a prorpinent Reclamation official to that, city re' cently. Said this official: "I was traveling by auto nearby one of the E. R.A. projects. A long line of men by the side of the road were leaning comfortably on their shovel handles. Someone in the group inquired, What project are those men working on? From came the answer, Watcha ing the Fords go by. Query, could that have happened in Utah county? (Continued on page six) er Schedule of Stake Meetings For Oct.

This survey is requested so that the Youth Adminis-tiatio- n may have a ocmplete picture of conditions and thereby be enabled to plan for help that must be given to those worthy youths who desire to go to high school and college but are unable to do so because of the financial situation of their families. The following named workers w re selected to make the survey: from Lakeview, Duane Madsen, Margaret Taylor; Vineyard, Bert Murdock Joan Murdock and Mary Blake; Sharon, James Blair and Arthur Watkins; Timpanogos, Leo Poulson and Harold Maag; Grandview, Martha Alice and Alta Buckner; PleasAllman, ant View, Venna Sterling Muhlstein and Y'erl Allman; Edgemont, Ellen Pulsipher. These young people are now making a survey of every young person in the Stake between the ages of sixteen and twenty-fiv- e years. The answers to a large number of questions are required in the qutstionairre which is used. From this group it is expected that a considerable number will apply to the Brigham Young university for Federal aid to enable them to go to Immediately EDITOR LEAVES of this committee Eich-enberg- er D. GLEN BROWN Leaves For Washington When it was decided that the, Stake should sponsor a Stake paper, the questions of whom to appoint editor and whom to make responsible for seeing that it paid its own expenses puzzled. the authorities. After a little investigation as to whom had had favorable experience, Mr. Dee Brown was appointed editor and Henry Taylor business manager. These appointThe ments proved very fortunate. editing of the Voice of Sharon took not only considerable time but professional skill. Both have been equal to the position. Mr. Brown is now ieasi'g for Washington, D. C. where he will be employed. Those who have worked with him appreciated his fine qualities and excellent work and wish him the success he diserve9 in his new work. Mr. Henry Taylor found that his own business required his full time. We have been very fortunate in having his leadership to place the Voice of Sharon on a business basis so that it is practically paying its own way We wish to by the advertisements. thank him for his services and extend our best wishes for his success. In the near future the Board of Directors will appoint a new editor and business manager.- PROGRESS ON DEER CREEK Some progress has been made on the Deer Creek project recently. Last week the names of three appraisers were sent to Washington to be approved by Sacretary Ickes, These men will constitute an appraisal board. This board will get busy checking privately owned lands on the deservoir ' site. The names of these men cannot be devulged at this- time and not until they have beerf approved. The appraisals must all be finished before winter sets in. t is estimated it will take 60 days to complete the job. The directors of the Water Users Association have been meeting recently, going over the $7,500,000 repay ment contract. This agreement will soon be ready to send to Washington for approval. The dam site has tentatively been fixed at a point about half way between Vivian Park and Wildwood. college. In the high school ages help will also be giiien to those who come from families on relief. However, in the college classification aid will be given to those who by reason of their circumstances are not able to go to college but come from families who arc not on relief, as well as to members of relief families. Doctor Francis W. Kirkham, Youth Administrator for Utah, was in Provo recently and conferred with members of the committee which has been chosen to represent the Administration in the Lincoln District. He urged that a complete survey be made at once and ' that worthy projects be found for those who are to receive help from the Federal Government. He stated that the projects on which those receiving help should woik should be undertakings in the community where the youth live, rather than at the university where thfy may attend school. Judging from preliminary reports which have come from those mak-nthe survey it is likely there will be nfteen or twenty young people of college age who will apply to the Brigham Young university for admission a id It aid under the Federal regulations may be that not all of thse' applications can be accepted. In that event it will be up to the authorities of the University to select the most worthy ones from the group presented. First Things First (Editorial) The people of Sharon have looked in vain for word from the State Road Commission that the highway from Vineyalrd to Edgemont along South of the Lincoln High School had been included on this years program- - The last legislature made this highway a part of the state highway system. An elaborate program to cost more than a million dollars was announced by the Commission early this week. It included projects all over the state, but not a word about the Vineyard Edgemont highway. Chief Engineer Wright, in making known the plans of the Commission is reported to have stated that the program announced was about all that would be undertaken thi . year. To state that the people of Sharon were surprised and disEdgemont highappointed at the omission of the Vineyard way from this years projects is stating the case mildly. Road committees of this section had been assured that this highway would be given attention this year. They relied on these assurances and did not press the commission further. The action of the Commission is hard to understand when their program is looked into in detail Ten thousand dollars is to be spent on road side improvement in Davis county. It is understood the improvement consists in part in planting trees along the highway to improve its scenic qualities. Other counties are to get other thousands for the same purpose. .The road from Springville to Provo is to be widened at a cost of $140,000. Money is to be spent right and left on highways for miscellaneous improvements, when these highways are already in good shape, serviceable, and meet the present needs of the communities served. It also appears that the Commission is offering to spend many thousands of dollars to help oil numerous streets in Provo which are not on the state highway system at all. From the news account of the projects one would gather the impression that the Commission had more money than it knew what to do with and was out looking for places to spend it. It is difficult to reconcile the action of the Commission in omitting the Vineyard to Edgemont road with its announced program of beauifying some highways and widening others to meet future demands; highways too, that are already paved and wide enough to care for the ordinary traffic for many years to come. School busses travel it with loads of students every school day. It is the main highway for the people of Edgemont, Pleasant View, Lakeview and Vineyard to come to their school, church and recreational center in Prenv It likewise serves the people of Orem who hstv? need to go to the places mentioned. It is an Important traffic lane to the center of a territory with population of nearly 5,000 people. It is hardly necessary to mention the physical condition of the road.' It is rough, uneven, and by reason of the narrow dugways and sharp turns is positively dangerous for travel, particularly for the school busses. The people of Sharon are not opposed to beautification programs, widening of highways, nor the helping of Provo to oil its streets, but do believe that first things should come first; and that safe, passable roads should be built first to serve the absolute needs of communities before beautification programs and scenic highways are undertaken, It is hoped that the press accounts are in error, or that the Commission after all is intending to take care of the Vineyard Edgemont highway, and that soon. In the meantime the 5,000 people of this territory who are paying plenty of taxes and will eventually have to do their part in meeting the cost of beautification and other nicnackk, should get busy through their Chamber of Commerce and road committees. They should make their needs known in such manner that they will not be Ignored in the future. It may be necessary to convince the Commission that the highway serves more than a small country ward on a cross road, and that in fact, the communities involved have a larger population and pay more taxes than some counties where hundreds of thousands of dollars are to be spent East-We- ERA PROJECTS MOVE SLOWLY Two ERA projects are still under way at Orem. One mile of concrete sidewalk has been put in and another mile is under way, The Improvement program at the Lincoln High School is about two thirds finished. The ball park and grandstand 'have . been substantially completed and the hauling of top soil and grading for lawns and shrubs around the high school building is partly finished. Slow progress has been made on these projects largely because of lack of money in the ERA administration to pay for equipment such as trucks and ADELBERT BIGLER teams. Unless the state directors get more money to Utah county these . secretaries are re- two projects may not be completed.
