More than 50 cases were reported by physicians in the county last week, she said. Most of the mumps cases are in the northern half of the county, but Duchesnes report of new cases is growing. No cases had been reported from Neoia or Myton at the end of the weekly period, according to Miss Pope. So far, those who have developed cases of mumps are mostly elementary school pupils. To prevent an epidemic and control the number of cases of mumps, the Duchesne County School Board is advising parents to watch carefully for symptoms of the disease in their children and to ndt allow the child to attend school when such symtoms , COMPLETES COURSE Keith Campbell, soil scientist for the Soil Conservation Service In the Uintah Basin, returned recently from California, where he attended a special SCS school. an prevalent Soil Scientist Is lion: Freni Cclifcrnia 8sccl Keith B.

Symptoms of mumps, as listed by the public health nurse, are: swelling and tenderness of the parotid glands, (located behind and below the ears). Before the glandular swelling develops, there is usually slight fever and some cases develop earache, sore throat or vomiting. Warning to parents, is to have the child remain quiet, and in bed if possible, during the swelling period, because of complications which may develop. emfesrsfaip Of Clean Untie ElesJrie MO Principcls Cl zij fa Ssh::l Fcsififcs . - Com -- Fcir D:":rsTo To Da Prc::nt:i Dync:::-;:!lOcr- Anticipated for d The three-ac- t playr San-- Juan will be presented next Outpost, Tuesday, December 6, at the Duchesne Stake Center at 8:00 p.m. by .the Roosevelt Ward MIA.

Seven Districts A proposal wifi be presented to the membership to change boundaries and set up seven districts m a geographic basis. At present directors are being selected at random with no particular thought being given as to the home of the s directors. If the changes in are approved as proposed, seven directors would be chosen, each from one of the new districts. Another proposal will be establishing Aitamont as the principal place of business, and setting the date for the annual meeting on the first Saturday of February, at some place designated by the board of directors in Aitamont. Provisions are made that if a holiday falls on the first Saturday in February, the meeting would be called on the next succeeding business day. The proposal will more clearly define the duties of the Board and provide for filling vacancies that might occur on the board following the annual meeting. How special meetings are to be called is also included in the proposed changes. Office At Aitamont At a recenr meeting of the hoard of directors a - recommendation made by REA that the headquarters be changed from Aitamont to either Vernal or Roosevelt, was eliminated from the call, and the by-lawill still designate the principal place of business as Aitamont. What will be done with the branch office at Vernal is a matter to be considered by the membership at a later date. According to Mr. Brown, proxies have been' printed and will be circulated among the members to be used, in the event the member can not attend the meeting and cast his vote in person. The. Saturday meeting will no doubt go into the record books as one of the most important eemions since the REA born cooperative was established a number of yean ago when the Uintah Basin voted tor a rural electrical project. All members are urged to attend and help decide the future policies and programs of Moon Lake Electric Association. wuX f RESIDE Ray Brown, Montwel rancher, and president of the Moon Lake Electric Association board, win preside over the special membership meeting next Saturday to be held at Aitamont at 1 pjn. fa Ks?4 TfessHay, ll3K3.tl With penm. mill levy necessary g next year will be discussed at the I95T tentative budget meeting scheduled for Dec. 6 at 2:30 p.m. at the courthouse in Duchesne.

To Under the' direction'bf the Uintah Batin School Administrators Association, - a - tour of new high schools at Aitamont, Vernal and Union was conducted Tuesday. A special invitation had been extended principals and superintendents of athletic Region 2 to join in the tour. According to L. F. Hutchings, president of the UBSAA, the only school leader from the Wasatch, Summit and Salt Lake areas which make up Region 2 of the High School Activities association, was Edson Packer, principal of Wasatch High at Heber City. Ail other leaders failed to respond to the invitation extended them. The - following principals and superintendents of Uintah and Duchesne counties met Mr. Packer at Duchesne and made the tour: Don Davis, principal at Tabiona high; . Rondo Harmon, Aitamont high principal; Harry Mangus, Duchesne high principal; Glen Ovard, principal at Uintah; Supt: Rowan C. Stutz, of Duchesne; Supt Max G. Abbott, of Uintah and Mr. Hutchings. . Purpose of inviting the school leaders to the Basin was to acquaint them with the facilities and availability of our schools in hopes a future realignment of the athletic set-u- p might bring schools in this area into the Region two athletic division. ' Mr. Packer, who is chairman of the region two board of managers, and is a director in the Utah Activities Assocation, was very much impressed with what he saw. Following the tour the group returned to Roosevelt where they joined in a dinner meeting at the Frontier Grill. Perhaps one of the most important meetings of the general membership of the Moon Lake Electric Association to be held in a long time will convene at the Aitamont School building at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3. It is a special meeting called to consider changing the articles of incorporation of the association. by-law- Carter.
