Show I Geneva works savings bonds The View From Here By Ruth Rothe Cora just got back from a little vacation with her daughter Alta and Ted. She says that she just thoroughly enjoys these little jaunts they take together now, but the first time she went with them she was miserable. She says that as soon as she learned the ground rules her had decided on she was able to sit back and get bhe most from son-in-la- w Supt. Joe A. Reidhead of the most important Some areas of discussion at the recent National School Boards Convention in San Francisco cen- tered around collective negotiations, na- tional assessment, minority groups, desegregation, media and technology, Federal funding, sex education, improving education accountability, pollution and the population explosion. Nebo Board members attended various sessions relating to these and other topics. Of particular interest to the Nebo District were sessions on drugs, the review of several systems, discussing new educational methods and processes in the attitude of both teachers, and the public in relation to educational change. The board was interested in the extended school year. They were able to discuss problems of revenue and how we are going to finance education in the future. There seemed to be growing concern about unrest among students and among teacher organizations. There seemed to be a lot of talk about managing schools by predetermined objectives and assessing the degree of success. The instructional method being discussed across the country is that of individualizing the program to provide relevant education. There is real pressure being placed on educators to develop planning techniques and for the non-grad- ed involvement of the community in educa- tional planning. Some of the added features of the convention were a film festival which reviewed the latest in educational films, public relations clinic which reviewed outstanding programs from across the nation, experts in many fields available for consultation and hundreds of exhibits exhibiting products being used by the schools ranging from school books and lawn mowers to driver training simulators and computers, from laboratory and classroom furniture to teaching machines and classroom observatory. a The Nebo Board received four days of intensive training which will undoubtedly save dollars and cents besides giving them the insight to help make major educational decisions. The board spent a considerable amount of time in the architectural exhibits reviewing award winning buildings from across the nation. They spent considerable time looking at a new type of roof system. As you may know, we are having some difficult problem with many of bur roofs. ' Faced with making serious decisions about future buildings in the district, this should pay real dividends to the taxpayers and to the children in Nebo School District. ed them though. On the first excursion she wasnt too well acquainted with Teds little likes and dislikes and she says that she almost made some real mistakes but all in all it turned out all right. As they were driving out of her driveway she was quite unnerved when Ted bumped into the fence. She was all ready to say something when Alta complained to Ted. (Now Cora had always been a real back seat driver with her husband and he had always allowed it, but she had never driven with other men very much, and she didnt realize how nervous and stewy she really was.) Not until this particular day. It was a real in many ways. Ted didnt say anything until the second time his wife interfered with his driving, then he asked, Maylsee your BACKSEAT driving license? I didnt know they still issued them. Cora says that it was quite a while before her daughter Alta said anything else but when she did complain Ted didnt utter a word but just stopped the car and escorted his wife to the drivers seat and got in beside her.

She almost ran over a repair signal man farther on. No one said much. As soon as she could reasonably do it Alta drove into a service station to get gas. When she and her mom returned to seat and the car Alta got into the Cora got in the back seat, and Ted took his place at the wheel Need I add that Cora says there was no more backseat driving that day. Especially after Alta saw the horrible white marks on the new ot green car. Cora says that Alta turned a color that wasnt as white as the white marks or as green as the car but it was terrible to behold. Cora says that when she knew they were going to pass not far from an old friends home she had planned to ask Ted if he would mind stopping for an hour. She didnt dare ask after all the earlier fuss and she was glad she hadnt because she discovered that visiting just anybody" along the way doesnt appeal to Ted. If hes going to Los Angeles, he is only interested in traveling that way in the shortest route possible. Cora states that she is sure if he could arrange it Ted would do his refueling like the big planes do as they continue on their journey. She found out something else not long after the first trip, and that was the fact that any time Alta and Ted invited her to Dear Reader: Just completed the reading of a book, T.R. by Noel B. Gerson. It is about the life and times of Theodore Roosevelt. You know every American should know a little more about Teddy. Now that word Teddy brings me to my subject for today. The Teddy Bear received its name from this grept American. He was on a hunting trip in bear country; on the first morning of the hunt, some of Roosevelts aids found a small bear just outside camp so they drove it into the campground area, thinking that President Roosevelt would shoot the little feller as the first bag of the hunt, but Teddy took one look at the half-groanimal and commenced to give his aids a roasting they never forgot: You dont shoot babies. You let em grow up. You start shooting the babies and the species will be extinct before you know it." This was the general gist of Teddys message in the wilderness, but anyway his protection of that bear made headlines in newspapers across the nation and he was recognized as the dedicated conservationist that he was. A toy company enlarged on the idea of Teddy and the Bear" and so came into existence the Teddy Bear. Now this Theodore Roosevelt story brings me to the second part of my message: Conservation. go with them they really wanted her to go along and expected her to go. And that there were occasional places they went when they didnt ask her along. Cora says that it has made the whole thing much more Ive hunted for deer in the hills of South Utah County since Ive been big enough to tote a gun. I cant say Ive always brought a deer home, but I can say Ive always seen deer and had the thrill of shooting at them, that is until the last few years; a fellers lucky to even get a shot any more. Ive seen hunters who refused to shoot does even though the law allowed it, but Ive seen hunters shoot fawns no bigger than a large dog. In fact I saw one dead fawn so small that the big brave man who killed it stuffed it in a seamless bag to bring it home. Its no wonder one sees fewer deer in our hills year after year. Ive been told that game wardens, flying over the deer country see plenty of deer, but we poor earth people are seeing less and less of them. I appreciated the statement of a man with whom I was hunting one year. He said: My boys and my boys boys will hunt these hills for the evasive buckskin long after Im forgotten so I want to do my bit in seeing to it that there will be something here for them to hunt. Yes, Teddy Roosevelt roamed this great land around the turn of the century when the fish were plentiful in the streams and plenty of deer and elk could be found in the hills but he could forsee the time when this would not be so. If wed had more fellers like Teddv. mavbe we could hunt buffalo, moose, elk, ect., ect. without having to mortgage the ranch to get a permit. each departments progress. The display will be lighted at night. At the conclusion of the campaign, the flags will be awarded to the outstanding solicitor from each department. The goal set for the Errors Zero team at Geneva Works is Davit Evant 85 participation. Ray Sundquist, general superintendent of Geneva Works said, The investment in bonds contributes greatly to the soundness of the dollar and to the security of our form of government. On a personal basis," Mr. Sundquist continued, theres no safer, more convenient way to save than with U. S. Savings Bonds. !
