Mr. MOTHERS CLUB HELD AT CLEO STEPHENS Thursday evening, Oct. 13, the Duchesne Mothers Club was held at the home of Mrs. Cleo Stephensen, with Mrs. Althora Fairbanks Four new members as to the club are: Mrs. Maxine Humphreys, Mrs. Linda Moat, Mrs. Rose Stephensen and Mrs. Eva Bench. Guests were Mrs. Larona Christensen and Mrs. Luane Larsen. Mrs. Larsen entertained the group with a number of very wonderful piano selections, which everyone enjoyed.

The period October 15 to Nov. 15 has again been designated for the acceptance of Christmas parcels for members of our armed forces serving outside the Continental United States, according to the local postmaster. It is expected that many Christmas parcels will be sent this year by persons in this country to their loved one serving overseas and the following instructions have therefore been issued with the view of assuring delivery of the gift parcels on time and in good condition. ParceLs for the most remote areas should be mailed as soon as possible after Oct. 15, and in no instances should parcels be mailed later than Nov. 15 to insure delivery by Christmas. Air parcel post intended for personnel serving overseas should be mailed not later than November 25. Those mailed after that date cannot be assured of delivery in time for Christmas as the Post Office Department can guarantee air transportation only to the ports of embarkation and the movement of such air parcels from there during the Christmas mailing period will be contingent upon the military requirements. Air parcel post is limited in size to 30 inches in length and girth combined and to 2 pounds in weight when addressed to military personnel serving overseas. Regular parcel post may be sent under the same conditions applicable to domestic mail with the of tobacco products exception which are forbidden to certain military bases, Also boxes must be of extra strong construction, sealed, and securely tied with strong cord in order to withstand the great distance that they must be transported. Patrons should bear in mind that military personnel are well supplied with food by the Armed Services and that parcels containing foodstuffs subject to spoilage and breakage in transit are likely to reach overseas destinations unfit for use. Further information regarding the above may be obtained at the local post office.

There is a way. The Lions Club of Duchesne is sponsoring a course in Junior Hunters Safety under the direction of the National Rifle Association. Classes sart Nov. 4 for 12 to 16 year-ol- d youths. Registration is now going on at Kohls Store Sporting Goods department, with no cost for the course. Education in firearms and their use in hunting on a broad scale as a means of making hunting safer is relatively new. Its recepeducators, tion by professional conservation leaders, and fish and game law enforcement personnel, is indicative of a constructive public attitude toward firearms trainmal-practi- move steadily onward for a successful University of Scouting, stated James E. Bacon, University of Scouting committee chairman. Dates have been x set for Nov. 4, 11, 18, 25, Dec. 2 and 9 for the largest effort ever made in the Basin to train the leaders of Scouting. Sessions will be not only for den mothers, scoutmasters, and post advisors, but MIA people, bishoprics, and dads of Scouts, explained Mr. Bacon. A 50(1 registration fee is set to defray cost of materials and equipment needed. All six sessions will be held at the Roosevelt Junior High School beginning at 7:30 p.m. People as far as Tabiona and Hanna on the west and Bonanza and and Jensen on the east of Roosevelt, are being invited to partici- pate. Two outstanding seniors at Duchesne High School will compete n dollar in the new, National Merit Scholarship Program, Principal Harry Mangus announced today. These high ranking local students will be aiming college at some 200 four-yescholarships that can carry up to full tuition and living expenses, depending upon the financial need of each winner. Winners will be chosen on the basis of their ability to profit from a higher education. Maxine Lewis and Betty Jo Jacoby are the seniors named to take a preliminary screening test to be given in the high school Oct. 26, 1955, as the first step. The competition is open to all secondary schools, and is the largest program of its kind.

However, further study needs to be made in order to arrive at the best number that can be economically handled by a teacher and still provide the best possible education. In the election of new members to the Board of Education, does our present law where three members are elected one year and two members on alternate two year period, lend itself to the best school program. On the local base the old law, changed by the special session of the legislature, made it possible for a person to be elected to the Board of Education and have time to become acquainted with file problems of the district and then serve a reasonable length of time before he has to leave the service of the district. With the mounting costs of things in general, It seems to be assumed that there is no escape from expanding school budgets. In our county this raises a particular problem. To change in the tax law that requires the local area to stand more of the school costs has placed a burden upon file pro-- ' perty owner at a - time when property income has- fallen off. Perhaps a study needs to be made in order to see if a change in the tax base from that of property to some other source whereby all pple will pay a fairer share of file school costs can be found. Maybe the legislature can be convinced of the necessity of changing the law so our Duchesne Countys budget bal- local area will not have to stand ance was $56,373.40 as of Oct. 1, such a heavy load.

This enthusiasm for the NRA Hunters Safety Training program shown by hunters, rod and gun clubs, and shooting organizations who voluntarily are giving instructions is evidence of an awareness of its potential contributions not only toward making hunting safer, but also in improving the conduct of hunters afield.
