Pictured above are the boys who comprise the Orent Junior Police. These boys work under the direction of. the Orem Town Marshall, Mr. Delbert Bishop, and the Scera manager. Their assignment is to direct the parking of cars and to patrol the grounds while .people are attending the show and other entertainments. The task is often most undesirable when the weather is cold and stormy. The boys do this community service without pay and perform their work most efficiently. They have a record of dependability which is highly commendable. Most of the boys have not missed a single appointment nor been tardy since they were appointed. Next time the boys help you park your car favor them with a smile and a thank you. While you are inside enjoying the program they are out on the watch so that you may fin your car in good condition when you return. i Enthusiasm Marks Are Picture Shows Educational?

More and more the stories which are used for the features reveal in a most interesting manner how other people live and acquaint us in a sympathetic way with the life of all classes, including different nationalities. Mot of the stories are moral and urge as no sermon could the necessity of conforming to the laws of right living. In producing the stories for the screen much of the objectionable material is taken out of the printed page. If the same censorship were given books and magazines sold at news stands that is given to pictures shown on the screen, less than half of the material would not be allowed to be sold. The dialogue between the actors is generally the best of English and the directors take infinite care that all the words are correctly pronounced. On theyiiole, the report concludes, the pictures are found to be a most effective teaching agency, next only to the school. They bring to a'll classes tbe opportunity of travel ct lture which formerly came c. ly to the wealthy. The majority of the picture show performances shown in the theatres have much to recommend them for their educational values. The Scera management is pleased to know the findings of the committee, as it verifies the belief of the organization that the picture show program is an educational factor in the community and is deserving of the recognition that the Association has given it. The officers of Scera have tried to make available to its members the very best pictures produced by all the leading cothpanies and to bring the cost of these programs within the reach of all families irrespective' of their income. This is why the assessments are so low. All the money paid in as assessments is used to finance the prothat go to anyone, except the gram.

Within the year inquiries have come from communities in different parts of the country for information about our Association, with the hope that our experience might help them to organize in a similar way. With the record Sharons Cooperative Educational Recratiunal Association (better known as Scera) has made, we should now live up to its utmost possibilities and make it one of the most unique organizations in- the country by having one hundred per cent of all the families in our communities participate. When this is done the program can be greatly enlarged and everyone will be surprised to see what exceptional, well rounded programs of the highest quality can be given at the very lowest cost More than twice as many cases of diphtheria have been reported to the State Board of Health in the first ten months of 1937 than during the entire year of 1936, ac cording to a statement made by Dr. J. L. Jones, State Health Commissioner. Dr. Jones urges all parents in the state to have their nonimmun-ize- d children taken to heir family physician at once for innoculations The extreme against diphtheria. urgency of every possible precaution being' taken against the spread of this dangerous disease of childhood was stressed by Dr. Jones, who pointed out the fact that there are at the present time more than two hundred clinical cases of diphtheria in Emery and Carbon ' Counties alone. Health Board Cooperates. The State Board of Health and all district health authorities will cooperate in every possible way with the public officials and citizens, declares Dr. Jones, in an effort to bring this disease under control as promptly as possible." Sharon Clinic To further the objective, an immunization clinic will be held in Shiron Stake soon. Notices will be sent through the schools to the parents. These should be returned promptly. The time and place of the clinic will be announced in the various wards, next Sunday. A small fee of 25c is required, according to officials, for the two doses of toxoid necessary to confer immunity.

Central Utah Region. Nearly 50,000 cans of ruits and vegetables have been canned for various private panties by the cannery as a part pf the program to furnish employment for members of the two stakes who may later need some help from the Security program. The custom work has been one of the big features of this years activities and has been one item which has kept the cannery active most of the season. $2,000 in Cana Operations of the cannery have required the purchase of more than $2,000 worth of cans and other commodities used in the cau.ing have been purchased in proportionate amounts. There have been 178 participants from Sharon Stake who have contributed a total of 226 days labor to the project. The group consisted of 62 men and 116 women. From Utah Stake there have been 78 wiih a total time contribution of 554 days, which work s was contributed by 13 men and 65 women. Due to the fact that considerable revemte was received from custom work it was possible to make a small allowance to many of those who contributed labor to the proin ject. In numerous instances, Utah Stake particularly, the ward security committees made a sub- stantial allowance to those who were contributing their time to the undertaking. No Regular Wage The L. D. S. Security Program as put in operation at the cannery is unique in that no regular wages are paid to the participants. Receipts showing tkait the workers have contributed so voluntarily many hours of time arL issued to those who work. Later, if these same people require any assistance they are helped to the extent of their needs irrespective of the amount of time that they may have contributed to the program.
