P. Williams, handed in their report this week to the new Town Board for approval. Despite the fact that the Town Board did not act upon the recmmendatlon, Mayor B. M. Jolley indicated that the unanimity of the recommendation, coming aa it' did from such a varied group of citizens appointed on the committee, carried considerable weight with the board. Final approval will not be given by the Board, Mayor Jolley indicated, until all citizens of the community have the opportunity to express to the board their individual points of view. Expressions of approval or suggestions are invited by tbe mayor and the town board, stated Mr. Jolley. Although Mr. Williams headed this special committee, and is chairman of the public improvement committee on the board, yet it was as a citizen that he acted, rather than as an official. Other members of the committee were I. J. Burr, Ray V. Wentz, Kiel Anderson, A. Watkins, George Stratton, A. V. Washburn, Del York, C. 8. Spaugy, Ray and A. H. Lowe The unanimous approval by this group for the Stratton pioperty, comes from the fact that the site selected by them is the exact center of tbe Orem district, it is by various members, and that the land surrounding the house is extensive enough to build a most beautiful park there as a Gill-ma- n, Plaudits Given lf.

Storks Visiting List WPA Adult Classes Every Tuesday At Lincoln High Seeking water whether by purchase or by lease was asked for by the Grandview committee, but Incorporation as an Integral part of Orem municipality would be a far better solution, they Indicated. The Town Board, according to Mayor B. M. Jolley, ig studying the proposal, but he expressed the view that such a solution would be easier if the entire Grandview area or section would consider joining with Orem. At present tbe whole subject Is under advisement, particularly as to its legal aspects, and other complications which might arise by taking Buch a step. Barring any unforeseen obstacles, Mayor Jolley reports a very favorable reaction by the Town Board members, and also by the Grandview citizens to taking such a step. If taken it would mean the creating of an unusually populous area within the Orem municipal division, and place the community in a very favorable light In many respects, it was indicated.

Debaters Meet Wasatch A debate featured the Lincoln high school session Tuesday when a team from Wasatch county high met Cleo Davis and Madge Lewis, affirmative debaters, and Kent Fielding and Glen Vernon, negative, on the suh'ect: Resolved that the several tab should adopt the unicameral form of legislation. Four definite projects for the L. D. S. church security program in the East Central region were outlined by President A. V. Watkins of the Sharon stake, chairman of the region consisting of 11 stakes, at the Regional conference held Sunday in College hall, where hundreds of church officials gathered from all parts of Utah county. Several other important and projects are under study, according to Mr. Watkins, but no decision to pursue them will be made until all data have been gathered. far-reachi- ng Four Projects A huge root cellar, 32 by 80 feet is being started this week near the regional warehouse on Provo bench, and a call was made for 20 trucks and two teams for steady employment In its construction, with 12 men also to be furnished by the various priesthood quorums of the Sharon and Utah stakes. The cellar will be of cement construction, both for walls and top, covered with dirt around the s. A driveway 10 feet wide will run through the center of it, with storage bins along both sides of the driveway. Complete plans have been supplied by Ashworth and markham, architects of Provo. All labor is being supplied under the Church security plan. Number two project is also under way and has had osa successful run last season the project, which supplied an excellent quality spray last year to many fruit growers of the side-wall- lime-aulph- nr county. A car load of sulphur lias been purchased from San Francisco, and will arrive here before March 1. Three huge tanks have been purchasd from the Lehl Sugar factory, and each holding 3000 gallons will provide the means for expanding the activities this year. An important development from this project may take place also at in Wasatch Midway county where lime can be obtained. At present lime is being obtained locally. President Watxins address outlined more particularly the benefits being derived from these projects than to explain in detail their functioning. He also indicated the purchase of a coal mining area in Emery county where the Region is developing a real coal project which promises vast benefits to the program. A fourth project is the cannery already established, which is busy each season with canning fruity and vegetables for the use of the church security progranj. Studies are goingTorward regarding the possibilities in establishing a tannery, and also in the manufacture of alcohol from farm products, such as wheat and other grains, to use for farm fuel in tractors, and other power machines. At the beginning of the regional conference Dr. Christen Jensen of the Utah Stake presidency out- lined "Warehouse Problems and Surpluses" detailing the work of the regional warehouse at Orem and bow surpluses in the various wards are to be cared for under the Security program. Budget Assignments President W. W. Warnick of the Timpanogos stake presented the "Financial Prospectus and the Budget for 1938 in a very concise and definite statement of the plans for the coming year. Sharon and Utah stakes were assigned the following budget for each stake: 500 cases of tomatoes. 125 cases of corn, 250 bushels of potatoes, 2000 pounds of roots, and all the fruits possible for them to can. Other stakes were assigned coal, dry beans, canned beans and peas,-meaand other products. Only eight stakes were present, Lehl, Alpine, Timpanogos, Sharon, Utah, Kolob, Palmyra, and Nebo, and to these definite assignments were made. The other three stakes of the East Central San Juan, Carbon, and region Emery, will hold a separate conference later, it was explained. Relief Societys Part ts, Following these assignments, the meeting listened to spirited addresses by Mra. Louise Y. Robinson, president of the L. D. S. relief societies of the church; Harold B. Lee, manager of the Church Security program; and Dr. John A. Widtsoe of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Mra. Robinson's address was an explanation of the duty of women of the relief society in the church security program. She defined that duty as one of finding out the nutritional and clothing needs of the homes of the people. It is their duty to teach values of foods and clothing, and to correct the deficiencies of diet by finding ways and means for better living. Farmers, she said, are convinced of the need of cod liver oil In large quantities for their flocks of turkeys, but they allow their children to go without these vital elements, becoming afflicted with rickets, and other signs of malnutrition. Home gardens were advocated, and development of handicraft skills for the making of articles for use and for sale In the home. She stressed emphatically the values in the Word of Wisdom and recommended the new book on this subject by Dr. and Mra. Widtsoe. Conservation Needed Mr. Lee followed with n atrong appeal for conservation, and the elimination of waste in our private and public life. Food values are wasted In such quantities in Utah and in United States, he asserted, to care for all the poor and suffering In the land, citing his own experiences as city commissioner in Salt Lake City to prove his statements. He also quoted from the Doctrine and Covenants Indicating the Lord's plan of security, wherein tbe poor are to be raised np and the rich made low, and the strong are to help bear the burdens of the weak. This he interpreted to be in the fast offering system of the church, and the surpluses accumulated therefrom, and in the church-wid- e budget plan for commodities where Goar and coal can be exchanged for fruits and vegetables. Urging that the whole plan rests upon the Individual quorum in the wards of the church, Mr. Lee pointed out that tho church security plan will be successful when the quorums throughout the church initiate programs suitable for their own work, and take care of their own members, as parts of the whole church plan. Quorum, the Unit Dr. Widtsoe, the final speaker, reiterated tbs functloa of the priesthood In the chnrch security program, declaring that the Latter Day Saint chnrch Is a priesthood church, and that the quorum is the training ground for the church. He then outlined the four major committees to be found in every properly organized quorum, and stressed the need and opportunity of the Personal Welfare committee as the one to earry out the church security projects. "The Chnrch Security program is as much a revelation as any revelation ever received by this church declared Dr. Widtsoe, aa he proceeded to outline the fundamentals of the program. Baslo-allhe said, prosperity consist in savings, and is tied up in small s margins. He decried the of America, and declared it to be unforgiTeable. He cited the gardens of Salt Lake City n 1917 when business men and others rallied to th aid of tha y, waste-fullnes- f Continued cm Prt Two) ' |
