It was after, his regular workmghours, so he brought with him his 15-year-old son. He was a smart, good-looking good-looking "chip off the old block." During the entire installation operation, the youngster serv- -ed as helper. He "fetched and carried," brought in the needed tools and fittings and even cut and threaded small pieces of pipe. Furthermore, he seemed to know exactly what he was doing, do-ing, and what to do next, without with-out being told. But best of all he was willing, eager and seemed seem-ed to be enjoying every minute of it. When the last nut was tightened he had everything picked up and in the truck. He said he was in the ninth grade in high school and enjoyed en-joyed that, too. How fortunate can a boy be. In four more years he will have a high school diploma and be prepared for college or university, univer-sity, if he thinks he would like to prepare for a profession. In addition he will have some-"thing some-"thing useful and interesting to y&mEm nt Bant wmm tion. Police Chief Glen Newman stated that it is something that has been needed for a long time and will greatly aid in locating a bicycle or an owner. Earlier this months the elementary ele-mentary schools were visited, a bicycle safety film was shown, and each student was given a brochure on rules of the road and a diagram of a 'Safe Bicycle.' Bi-cycle.' Christine asks that all parents assist their children in learning these rules and help them make necessary repairs on bicycles to get them in safe condition. The schedule for Bicycle Safety Day is as follows: 9 a.m. 1st and Fifth Ward areas. 10 a.m. 2nd and 4th Ward areas. 11 a.m. Grove and 7th ward areas. 12 noon, 3rd and 6th Ward areas. 1 p.m. Lindon and Manila ward areas. Chief Newman stated that he will have two policemen there at all hours scheduled. They will inspect bicycles, and with the aid of Explorer Scouts, they will place the identification-number identification-number on the rear fender. Each cyclist, will be challenged challen-ged on the bicycle course as outlined on the blacktop, and upon successful completion, will be given a certificate. This program has been sponsored spon-sored for the past five years by the Busy Bakers 4-H Club, consisting of Jane Newman, Margret Gilbert, Linda Yocom, Suzanne Turner and Christine Klemm, chairman.

If he decides not to continue con-tinue formal schooling, after secondary school graduation, he will have the fundamentals of a well-paying trade. Modern - employment - being what it is, most boys and young men, have no opportunity to work with their fathers and thus gain the skills and knowl-' knowl-' edge so necessary for a successful suc-cessful adult life. Machines, automation, and child employment regulations - rob so many of our boys of the opportunity to be gainfully employed em-ployed during the hours and weeks they are out of school. Too much enforced leisure time is the curse of America's future citizens. Active, intelligent intelli-gent and energetie, they have nothing to do, too' much of the time, except get into mischief. The boy or girl, who puts in a few hours of solid work each day after school has little time nor energy for activities of destructive de-structive delinquency. Even fathers, who could arrange ar-range things otherwise, often . say, "I never want my kids to . have to work as hard as I did, when I was a boy." How wrong can they be? So long 'til Thursday.
