He said the program would involve some 367 students in the district and that fees for one class would be $10 per student and $16 for two clas-ses. Plans are also in the mak-ing, the superintendent report-ed, for summer classes another year for both students and adults. The superintendent pre-sented a request from the Teachers Association officers for an increase in the basic salary for teachers. After some discussion, the board stated that further study would be made. The superintendent presented a request from the .custodians for a salary schedule and a vacation period increase. Letters of appreciation were received from several groups who had been given permis-sion to attend conventions, namely: the counselors in the district and G. Grant Gardner, assistant superintendent, who had attended the American Personnel Guidance Assn. con-vention in Denver; from Prin-sipa- ls Tim Moran and Wm. B. Stansfield for the opportun-ity of attending the Northwest Dept. of Elementary school principal's workshop at Spo-kane, Wash.; and from Princi-pal Ralph Davis and George Puckett, music instructor, for opportunities granted them to attend national conventions on the west coast.

Among the items missed by the manager after being noti-fied by Clerk Muriel Robert-son when she arrived for work shortly after 7 a.m., were six or eight cases of beer, several cases of .22 shells, cigarettes (only brand L & M), several cigarette lighters and an of candy bars and other items. The burglars entered through a cubby-hol- e in the ceiling and scattered insulation throughout the store by which they were tracked. Mr. Beal said he believed the burglary had been planned well as the light pole in the rear had been scaled and the globe disconnected. It happen-ed sometime between closing time at 9:30 p.m., and 7:30 a.m. when the store was open-ed. Springville police are check-ing leads in the burglary of the City Finance, 134 South Main St. one night last week, Chief Ashley Graham reported today. Although no cash was taken as the place of business does not leave cash in the building, the burglars ransacked all the drawers, prying the rear door open.

Wins The Springville Herald captured first place among weekly newspapers of the state in front page compe-tition for the issue of March 30, according to a report from the BYU Journalism department, which does the judging. In a general summary cri-ticism, they stated, "This front page is bright, highly inviting and is up to the Herald's usual quality. There is lots of news, well-writt-and displayed with care." The Springville Herald is now out of running for six months, the report stated. Too many people make cem-eteries of their lives by bury-ing their talents.

Councilman Frank Memory Special drama set by ward next Monday As a benefit toward the First ward building program, the BYU production of "J.B.", Pul-itzer prize-winnin- g play based on the Book of Job, will be presented in the Springville Junior high school auditorium, Monday, April 24, at 8:15 p.m. Directed by Dr. Harold I. Hansen, well-know- n through his direction of the famous Hill Cumorah pageant, the play has a modern day setting. The chief character is a successful businessman with a loving wife and fine family . . . then calamities begin to fall, and therein lies the story. Special masks through which voices of God and the devil will be portrayed, lighting and staging effects, are being em-ployed. A smash Broadway hit, this will be the first time a non-professional group has been given permission to produce the play. Those who saw "Blithe Spirit," which Dr. Hansen and his BYU players staged in Springville last year for the Eleventh ward building fund, will enjoy "J.B." Because of the adult nature of the play, children under 12 years of age are asked not to attend. Services held --Monday for Irs.

EDITORIAL Sorry you had to go! It is with deep regret that many Spring-ville citizens will read of the announcement this week of Safevvay's decision to close their store in this city and citizens will remark, as with the passing of an old friend, "Why didn't I go see him more often?" It takes the support of the people of a town to make any business succeed and without the town's support, business nat-urally seeks the spot where it can best survive. People of this city regret that Safeway did not see sufficient business in Spring-ville to justify a new and larger building with adequate parking facilities. Although well-stock- neighborhood grocery stores about Springville have taken business from the Main Street section of town, many are of the opinion that an area which boasts over 9000 population, is large enough to support more than one grocery store on Main Street. Times have changed since the house-wife phoned her order in to the grocery store before 10 a.m. and the horse-draw- n cart delivered before noon. Now when the lady of the house does her own shopping, it is necessary that she has a place to park her car. While Safeway may not have had suf ficient parking space near the store, their employees have been very courteous to cus-tomers, carrying their purchases to the car, but some have resented not being able to park nearer the place of business. It's like the old saying "Home is where people act the worst." Shoppers will put up with most any kind of inconvenience, carrying their purchases a block or so and paying the parking meter while shopping out of town. But the least inconvenience to the shopper at home and it's time to make an issue. Safeway has been a consistent supporter of Springville activities, the Chamber of Commerce and the home-tow- n newspaper. They have not gone out of town to do their advertising. Through the years the store has offered courteous, efficient and friendly service. It has been a good store with which to do business. Yes, the town will miss the Safe-way store and its employees, most of whom made their homes in this city. It will mean another place of business closed and a few more homes or apartments empty. It is time now before it is too late, to resolve to support those businesses which support Springville and to make every ef-fort to bring more business to this city. 1 ' : j A JI : r- - WV -- J A few of the cast of 30 students in the junior high operetta, "Hazy Hollow," to be given Friday evening, go through a scene in practice.

Gerene Cope, Eighth grade student, composed the operetta and music is by Mr. Biesinger. Assisting are other faculty members who are di recting the drama, dances, scenery and costumes. Titled, "Hazy Hollow," the operetta revolves around the story of the mayor of Hazy Hollow who brings two people to see the town, meet the peo-ple and perhaps induce them to live in the community. There Js a wedding and trouble and the people decide to make the town famous thru a magic instrument. It works out to the satisfaction of all concerned and in doing so the presentation features nine songs, three dance numbers, and an overture by a school orchestra.
