Mr. Add- continuing for Shakespeare play Members of toe cast of A Midsummer Nights Dream, who have put many ankious hours into their work, still remain cheerful as toe production date remains three weeks away. Perhaps toe best reason for their continued good spirits is toe uproarious comedy of the play itself. Cast members report that toe is loaded with so many augbable moments that actors often find themselves breaking into laughter over the antics of their fellow players. Their efforts are all aimed toward making sure that audiences enjoy these same joyous moments three weeks from now. when the Shakespearean production is per formed at Emery County high school. Briefly, the story concerns Theseus, Duke of Athens, who is asked for an official decision as he dreams of his coming marriage to Hippolyta, beautiful nuesn of toe Airmen warriors. Young Hermia wants to rnirv T.ysander. brt her father insists that she marry Demetrius. Demetrius has supposedly been in love with Helen, but unaccountably left her to pursue Hermia. lovers beThe four mixed-u- p come unexpectedly involved in a bitter family argument be tween Oberon and Titania, king and queen of the fairies. Also present is a group of very simple men who are rehearsing a play to present before Duke Theseus on his wedding day. These but quite stupid, individuals also get involved with the fairies, and when Puck, the mischief-make- r, places a donkey head on Bottom! (possibly, toe most stupid of all the would-b- e actors), exciting things happen. Oberon, determined to get even with his wife, has charmed her eyes so that she falls hopelessly m love with, the donkev-heade- d Bottom. Then Puck, in what he claims is a mistake puts some of the same charm on two of toe four young lovers making Hermia in love with who Is in love with Helena, who is in love with Demetrius. who is in love with Hermia. It takes all the marie skill possessed bv Oberon to untangle so many difficulties. In order to accomodate expected crowds, the nlay will be performed three nights. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. April 21, 22 and 23. The actors claim they can bring tears to the eyes, but as one of them stated, More merry tears were never shed. g, r. ley, who was 83 Thursday, March 18, was presented with a brightly decorated cake. Having spent most of his adult life in Emery, Mr. Addley has been active in Scouting work, and still directs traffic at funerals. He also still enjoys helping his neighbors in any way he can. His life has been spent as a farmer and cattleman. Mr. Addley lives alone, keeps his own house, does his own chores, and still finds time to assist in toe care of several thoroughbred horses. r.h 'a i j : Elmer Addley , . . honored at -3 83 Annual honored at state confab queen sought Forensic students U-9- 5, clean-u- p g time rs fr It is recommended that town boards and landscape improvement committees join together to plan how this equipment can chapter is Deepest snow on the range was found at Buck Fiats on the Ferron drainage.

These facts were brought out in a detailed analysis cf the 1965 school finance legislation prepared by the Utah Foundation, the private governmental research organization. Foundation analysts explain that a distribution unit is allowed for each classroom unit of 27 pupils. Ad iitional distribution units are al lowed for supervisory personnel, small schools, special classes for handicapped children, vocational education, and other purposes. If Emery School District utilizes all of the finance authority granted under the new law, the school program would be raised in the first year and by 11 15.1 in toe second year over present 1964-6- 5 levels. Still further increases could be had if they were approved by the voters in a special school finance election. In order to finance this increased program toe Foundation report points out that Emery District would have to raise its local school levy by 3.00 mills during the first year (1965) plus and added one mill the following year. Partially offsetting these local tax increases is a probable slight reduction in the state property tax levy for schools. Current estimates place the state mills levy for schools at 8 for each of the next two years. This compares with 9.7 mills in 1964 and 7.6 mills in 1963. In addition to these changes in property tax rates, Foundation analysts note that residents of Emery.
