Emmett Bird and J. A. Thorpe of the Chamber of Commerce highway commit-tee, represented Springville at a recent road meeting in Provo held to discuss the proposed new freeway. Mr. Thorpe said this week that a similar meeting will be held in Springville in six weeks or two months. Presently the discussion is centered on the highway to extend from Provo north to Lehi on which bids are soon to be awarded. Present plans call for the highway to be built below the lower tracks, two and one-ha- lf miles west of Springville which according to Mr. Thorpe and other townspeople would be a blow v to business in this city, especially motels, cafes and other establishments. However, it is believed that if sufficient pressure is put on officials, there is a possibility of having the highway below the first railroad track, much nearer the city, which would help considerably. Provo is hop-ing for a south connection near today that Springville would their city and Mr. Thorpe said work with Provo as such a connection for Provo would mean the highway would be located nearer Springville.

Parker, struck by lightning Friday of last week while fishing on Strawberry Reservoir, is ex-pected to be able to leave the hospital at Heber this week, but has been advised against company and will of necessity have to keep quiet. He suffered painful burns over parts of his body by the lightning flash which rendered him unconscious and riddled the clothing he was wearing, although his wet, rain-soake- d clothes were credited with pos-sibly saving his life. He was fishing in a wooden boat rent-ed from the Madsen camp ra-ther than his own aluminum-line- d one which was also in his favor. His wife, Beth, who had taken shelter in the car while her husband fished a little long-- er, said that she saw a bright flash of lightning leap across the water at the same time it seemed to strike the boat. Dr. Parker was fishing near the boat camp pier at the east end of the lake when the acci-dent occurred about 6 p.m. He was taken by State Fish and Game truck part way to the Heber Hospital and then transported by Highway Troop-er Doyle Van Wagenen and Deputy Sheriff Jerry Smith.

Boys' Baseball Tourney Highlights By LeGrande Young Fourteen tired kids from Sage Creek's Boys' Baseball team returned to Springville Monday morning with mixed emotions; sad that they hadn't been able to win any ball games but very happy with memories of one of the finest vacation trips ever imagined. And every one of these fine boys had the joy of making new friendships that will last a lifetime. This was a wonderful exam-ple of kindness and considera-tion on the parts of the people who housed our boys in Santa Monica. The families were from the Santa Monica National League which is considered to be one of the best residential neighborhoods in Santa Monica. These folks went all out to see that our boys had a wonderful vacation and literally there were more than a few tears shed when the boys had to leave to return last Sunday. One lady who was hostess to Ricky Witney and Mike Shep-par- d was heard to remark, "Oh dear, I've become so used to looking after Ricky that I don't know what I'll do when he's gone." Some of the highlights of the trip were Stephen Mock's fine little speech at the annual ban-quet in which he told the five hundred people there that Springville is famous for hav-ing the purest, coldest, best tasting water anywhere in the world." Jud Harward did a wonderful job in representing his team, the people from this area and his church when he asked the blessing of the food at the beginning of the ban-quet. Incidentally the banquet was held in Santa Monica's new multi-millio- n dollar civic aud-itorium, a building which was opened only a month or so ago and which is a thing of great pride to the people there. Ricky Witney's reaction to the beacli was very descriptive. He said, "Boy, those waves just come in and roll up and hit you in the belly . . . just like a bull without horns." On Friday night we took all the kids out to Pacific Ocean Park, a big new recreation where the boys rode on dozens of new and interesting rides. We lost one boy, and didn't find him until after mid-- ( Continued on page 8, col. 5) Seventh Ward's Springville Stake championship girls' soft-ba- ll team will play an Orem ward team in an exhibition game scheduled tonight at 7 p.m. at the girls' diamond on Memorial Park. Baseball Champs To Be Guests Of 20-3- 0 Clubmen To show their appreciation and that of the community for the fine manner in which the members of the Springville Little League conducted them-selves at the tournament at Santa Monica, Calif., the local 20-3- 0 Club are giving the boys a hamburger fry this evening at 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall. In addition to the fry, there will be volley ball games and other entertainment arranged especially for the boys.

Art Gallery Closes Regular Schedule; Summer Visitors Represent 23 States With the approach of the fall season the summer sched-ule of the art gallery is again nearing the close, the regu-lar schedule of 5 to 8 p.m. daily except Saturday being concluded September 1. According to Mrs. Mae Hunt-ington of the high school art committee, who has conducted the summer visits, a total ot 23 states and Hawaii are repre-sented on the summer registra-tion lists. The visitors also rep-resent 53 cities, 13 of which are in Utah and forty others in states from New England to the West Coast. Artists, curators, art critics, collectors, students and teach-ers were included in the visitoi-- s many of whom have been in-vited to see the art by the Springville motel managers. Mrs. Huntington specifically mentioned Ronald Thorpe, who she said has done a grand job of advertising the Springville art to his motel guests. Many of the visitors had planned their vacation trip to include a visit to the Springville art gallery, Mrs. Huntington said. Others had not heard of it until stopping here over-night. All have been especially in-terested in the origin of the project which they are told is unique in the fact that it is a school program, supported by the school and the community and maintained not for profit but for the cultural and educa-tional influence it may have on students and visitors. Many visiting artists praised the conservativeness of the Springville art collection and commented that it would still be of interest a hundred years from now, whereas some of the more modern types would have been forgotten. Another artist said the local collection is the best this side of Cleveland, Ohio, and another commented that the Springville gallery is "Utah's only real art gallery." One of the gratifying as-pects of conducting the var-ious groups through the gal-lery, aside from the comments made, are the friendly letters and notes of appreciation re-ceived by Mrs. Huntington af-ter visitors return to their homes, she said. Although the regular sum-mer visiting time is over, Mrs. Huntington reported that she would be happy to take anyone or a group through the gallery if they would contact her.
