Dr. Bamey spoke on present-day trends in education and how education edu-cation must constantly change to keep abreast of the ever-increasing amount of knowledge of today. He urged parents to withhold criticism when a new program has been initiated ini-tiated or a new method of teaching teach-ing Is being tried until the results are in. Education, he said. Is the vehicle used to provide training opportunities op-portunities to all children, some of whom will become specialists in some fields. Education must train each child to its maximum ability. "What is necessary? What is useful? use-ful? What is ornamental in education?" educa-tion?" he asked. What is useful to one child may prove to be ornamental orna-mental to another he explained. What is necessary to one child may prove to be only useful to another, he said. All J'e integrated in curriculum cur-riculum and It's a different task to cut. Dr. Bamey continued that education educa-tion is made up of knowlelge and wisdom. Knowledge without wisdom wis-dom is less then desirable. To gain wisdom, a student is required to labor intellectually and this is one of the most difficult lessons to teach and yet the most important.

He closed his talk with a report on the new Delta Jr.-Sr. High School building. He reported that the building is virtually completed on the drawing board. The decision to heat the building had delayed Architect Robt Fowler somewhat The heating system is one of the last phases of the drawing plans, he pointed out He opined that the building plans would be completed com-pleted in time for a May bidding. The school board plans, he said, to have the building ready for occupancy oc-cupancy by September, 1966.

Dr. S.ark has traveled all over the state and is considered the expert in Utah on how to conduct a successful suc-cessful cleanup and beautification drive. The meeting will officially open he 19C5 Deita Cleanup drive according ac-cording to Mr. Price. In recent meetings of the committee com-mittee several suggestions have been offered and adopted by the committee for the drive. The city has been divided into four sections at the intersection of Delta Main Street and First West. Chairmen of the various sections have been named and they are assisting with the planning. Section chairmen are A. L. Skldmore, North eas; Carlyle Peterson, Southeast; Fera Little, Southwest and Cecil Losee, Northwest section.

On those dates the committee will concentrate on improving the ap pearance of Delta Main Street and one block either way. Businesses and residents on Main Street will be contacted by committee mern- n it -By INEZ RIDING Jes' Jestin' Parents Day, 1965, was fun-filled and informative. I never laughed harder than at the afternoon basketball bas-ketball game where the TEACHERS lost to the PARENTS. (Some observations on my part which may keep me dodging bricks for many a day to come. But, fearless fear-less I am so here goes.) Jay Bennett is very good on the basketball floor. I haven t decided just what for, but he's GOOD. Paul Cahoon is exceptional at rebounding, rebound-ing, but it doesn't look quite right for a grown man to grab the ball off the backboard and then sit on it! Joe Moody was so anxious to win (Teachers) that he tried to Youth Corps Plans Move Ahead The West Millard County Community Com-munity Action Committee met Mon day afternoon at the West Millard Hospital to further discuss the Neighborhood Youth Corps program and to make more preparations on project-planning. Representatives present were from LynndyL Leamington, Leam-ington, Oak City, Sutherland, HinCK ley, Deseret, Oasis and Delta, The committee decided to forge ahead at full steam and to have a rough draft for projects by Monday, Mon-day, March 1 when it will meet once again at the hospital. At Monday's meeting, a Director will be selected plus supervisors of the various projects. o o o Don Shields, Athletic Manager; Bee Willden and Helen Wright, Cheer Leaders; Donna Cox and Don Bird, Campaign Managers. Sparked by the superb playing of Dr. Barney the first half of the game, the Parents ran up a basketball basket-ball score which the Teachers were unable to overcome during the second half. According to reliable sources, Dr. Bamey had trained all week on lettuce for the game. Nevertheless the Parents were fortunate to have him on their team the first half of the game rather than the last. Teachers bemoaned the fact that he had "given his all" to the winning win-ning Parents team and had little steam left to offer their team. Spectators were thrilled at Dr. Barney's playing, especially his hook shots, dribbling fpat nnil w- J bounding techniques. Howard Niel son summed up spectators sentiments senti-ments well when he said "Seldom are we fortunate enough to see the featured speaker prove to be the star basketball player". (Ed. Note: Seriously, we hope that Dr. Barney can take a joke as well as he can play basketball!) Teacher players were Merlin Christensen, Joe Moody, Ladd Black, Keith Black, Arlyn Finlinson and Dr. Bamey. Parents team players were Jay Bennett Richard Hare, Dan Davis, Kennard Riding. M. A. Lyman, Dr. Barney and Paul Cahoon. bers urging them to all work to improve the appearance of their own property and thus improving Delta Main Street. In addition to this project, section chairmen will have selecied a project In their areas to Improve on those dates. March 5 & 6, city equipment will be available to haul off debris from each of the four sections, providing pro-viding the rubbish is piled in an easily accessable spot Such procedure pro-cedure will greatly assist the city crew and the cleanup campaign will move along more rapidly. Committee members are planning plann-ing to personally present a copy of the recently adopted "Cleanup" Ordinance to each resident and or proper.y owner in Delta. All paint dealers In Delta are cooperating again this year by offering of-fering special discount prices on paint. This, it is hoped, will en courage more residents to do some fixing-up and painting-up. ' Arrangements are being made for the publication in the Chronicle of a map of Delta City with all blocks numbered and block chairmen chair-men named. This will be published next week. Delta residents aie urged to watch for this publication and contact their block chairmen with any problems or suggestions. Mrs. Loa Black has been elected to be Secretary of the committee. She will be assisted by Mrs. Eddys Barben. Other committee members are V. S.

Ladd Black is a keen ball-handler. Of course, he can't hit the basket but he can really handle the ball! Kennard Riding Is no slouch when it comes to playing basketball especially when he's piaying against his own sons. Against TEACHERS? Well, now that's a different. story. Merlin Mer-lin Christensen is better at teaching teach-ing young men HOW to play basketball bas-ketball than PLAYING. Richard Hare surely has a long arm. There for a minute, I thought we were watching an indoor baseball game and he had just snagged a three-bagger three-bagger out in center field and was trying to throw out a runner at home plate. Dr. Barney was all over ov-er the court, romping over and a-round a-round and under TEACHERS and PARENTS alike. Arlyn Finlinson cried when he first missed a basket. By the time the gams was over missing the basket was "ol' hat" to him. Keith Black pitied out his marble bag and played marbles when Dan Davis wouldn't pass the ball to him. Of Course, Dan wasn't supposed to. He was on the opposing oppos-ing team. Dan hit. a basket or two or were those TEACHERS? During the last moments of play, Dr. Ly man learned he wasn't playing indoor in-door tennis, put his racquet away, shot and made a basket. Larry Bliss did a vorv a and inh of blowing the whistle. AS I SAID IT WAS QUITE A BASKETBALL GAME. Ooddles of fun. i I know of some men who were downright envious of the members of both teams. They, too, would have liked to perform on a community com-munity service project. The campaign speeches by Owen Gardner and Verla Jenson were laugh-getters, also. Both had spent a. second or two working up their campaign speeches and urging the audience to vote for their team. In all seriousness and with a completely com-pletely innocent air Owen said "I'm campaigning for the White Ticket. White stands for purity, you know." Evidently, we all believed him or were taken in by that innocent air. His ticket won the election. Verla had her campaign in verse. What a poetic streak in that girt. Wonder if she gets those inspirations dui-Ing dui-Ing the wee, wee hours of night? Wou'd you like to See a Cleanup and Beautification jingle? It surely won't matter if you prefer not to, cause you're gonna get to see one if you continue to read this bit of nonsense this week. "To have that "come hither" look And be popular in everyone's book Cleanup and Beautify". I wish that one were mine. It's nice. And clean. And beautiful.
