HU5-826- 1 VOLUME 31 NUMBER 37 SUGAR HOUSE, UTAH THURSOAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1959 - PAGE ONE . I Highland High Teachers Advance The men pictured above are serving in new capacities at Highland High School this year. Eldon U. Rasmussen, 2242 Bendamere Circle, has been with the Salt Lake school svstem for 14 years. He has taught biology and zoology at South, East, and Highland High Schools. A graduate of Brigham University, he has done graduate work at the University of Utah. After teaching at Highland for the past four years, he has been named counselor, replacing Dr. Knight B. Kerr, who has become Assistant Principal at West High. The counseling system no longer has separate advisers for girls and boys, but the same teacher deals with both sexes. Merrill Croft, 2346 Country Club Circle, has been named coordinator for all the driver's training programs in the city schools. He has been teaching this subject at Highland High School for the past 3 years. Last year there were 12 teachers, this year 11. Each driver instructs approximately 144 students during the year, with an additional 20-3- 0 during Christmas and spring vacations. The program continues through the summer months. Each student has 6 hours driving, 18 observing, and 30 classroom hours of work. It is practicallv unheard of for a "student of", the driver's training course to fail either the written or driving tests. The average for the general public is 50"7o failures. Through movies, books, and observation, the trainees are led to the correct attitude toward the law as well as to correct driving habits. Sugar House Post Office at Work Few of us, merchants or residents, realize the tremendous service provided us by the Post Offices in our area. The Sugar House Post Office serves approximately 27,000 homes and businesses, over 100,000 people in all. Their deliveries start at Liberty Park, including the northeast and southwest corners, and extend to 39th South 5th East, except for the area served by Foot Hill Station, and on east to the mountains. There are 58 routes with a possible 500 stops per route. Mr. Edwin G. Brown, Assistant Superintendent at Sugar House, states that there are four types of delivery: by foot, as the familiar figure in the picture at the right, by mailster, by truck, and by private car on a mileage basis. Storage boxes relieve the burden of the man on foot, but the rest carry all mail, including parcel post. Law requires that the weight carried not exceed 35 pounds. The foot carrier will handle a package weighing not more than 4 pounds or bigger than a shoebox. Leaving for his daily round is George Anderson, at the right. ' J-- M WO USB . J r .

Life- - ;P1lT-- ' .M .! r.- -. If jfcfcil- . . Intense activity in the sorting room at 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning. Each carrier sorts his day's mail into slots arranged according to the route he follows. Letter-siz- e mail goes into the slots directly, with several slots to an address receiving heavy mail, but larger pieces must be "primaried" before re-sorti- ng. Stops from 400 to 520 are usual on each route. ' 4 "v j John Newsome is driving this 'Cushman' three-wheel- ed motorized scooter. Ten are in use from Sugar House, all in zone 6. They are used in sparsely settled areas, or where the residences are set far back from the street. This transportation was proved a success in Colorado Springs, which has comparable climate and snow hazards with Salt Lake City, in 1958. Wilford Stake Summsree Fun and frolic was the theme for the annual Wilford Stake Mia Maid-Explor- er Summeree held Saturday, September 12 at Fairmont Park. Stake Explorer Leader, George Maxwell was chief organizer for the parry, making sure there was plenty of food on hand for the hungry teen-ager- s. Dancing on the plaza followed the dinner. , (Additional pictures on page 7) Plaque Ceremonies For Dr. Richards The work of the late Dr. Paul S.
