With little to work with, these early settlers seldom let a Pioneer Day go by without a celebration, the highlight of which was generally the street par-ade bringing back the. hardships endured by the pioneers in crossing the plains. What the early settlers lacked in luxury, they made up for in enthusiasm and everyone spent the day at the park to buy popcorn and to visit old friends and have a good time. ii ?

Home The Chamber of Commerce might use this story to show that Springville is a good pUwe to make a home and rear a family. For arguments in favor ask the families of Mauray Payne and Bill Kapp. They both returned recently from Oregon and Calif., respec-tively, after leaving some months ago with ideas of making their permanent home in these states. Neither of the families are natives of the town biit came here several years ago and now its their home. The Payne's attempted to make a home at Roseburg, Oreg. and the Kapps at Torrance, Calif., but after a few months both families decided that the list of reasons why they should return to Spring-ville far outnumbered the reasons why " they should stay so they just packed up and came "home" and the town believes they made a good decision.

Grant Whitehead, city elec-trician reported to the City Council Monday evening, that it would take approximately $1600 for treatment of electro-losi- s on the Canyon water line. This estimate was reached af-ter a survey of the line which indicated the pipe had been damaged considerable in many places. Electrolosis, it was pointed out, is a chemical in the soil which eats into the pipe, and already some pipe lines in the canyon have been treated. The treatment consists of rectifiers and ground beds. The council approved the re-commendation of the city elec-trician to repair the damage. The council also voted to correct a dangerous condition on a culvert on First North and Main and approved an ap-plication from Beth Calloway to operate a kniting shop at 391 East Center Street. Karl Schott, resident of this city, who recently moved here from California, met with the council and presented informa-tion and reasons why the city should not consider fluorida-tion of the water supply. The council approved the Henry Dell Diamond property in the canyon be hooked to the sewer subject to the ap-proval of the city engineer and also providing the property owner pay for two connections as the property is more than 200 feet from the sewer line. The engineer was also to be Buy flourine individually, doctor advises If you feel you need fluorine for your teeth, buy sea water salt, but don't insist on fluori-dation of culinary water sup-plies, Dr. Nephi Kezerian, well-know- n orthopedic physician (bone specialist) of Provo ad-vised at a Provo Lions club meet Thursday evening. "Salt from sea water can be purchased in local drug and health stores, and is a source of other minerals besides fluo-rine," he said. Fluorine in very small amounts (one part in one mil-lion) seems to be necessary in bone and tooth structure but too much causes unsightly spots in teeth, he pointed out. Use of fluorine will not save teeth if they are abused or neglected, he said, and added that he felt fluorine is not needed in water because of amounts found in food. If any individual feels he needs more, he can buy sea water salt, he said. This report is being pub-lished this week in view of the fact that the Jaycees recently passed a motion to circulate petitions in this city to have a proposition of fluoridating Springville's culinary water, placed on the ballot this fall. ; Alma Fullmer of this city who was elected captain of the descendants of the Black Hawk Indian War Veterans and Pioneers at the annual encampment at Nephi last week.

The entire object of true ed-ucation is to make people not merely do the right thing, but enjoy the right things. John Buskin. Magazine article by school head tells what makes good teacher Russell N. Stansfield, super-intendent of the Nebo School District, is the author of an ar-ticle on classroom teaching published in the summer issue of "Peabody Journal of Edu-cation" magazine. In the article, Supt. Stans-field expresses the thought that far too many teachers are not screened carefully enough before being allowed to go into the classroom and mold the lives of their young charges. He asks: "How many univer-sities and schools of higher education are concerned enough with the human side of teach-ing of the setting up of right attitudes toward living and, at the same time, providing teach-er training which will enable young men and women to carve out for themselves suc-cessful careers in life?" "A good teacher gives an impression to his students of his complete honesty and sin-cerity," he says, "for he is the kind of man who is the hope of society because he be-comes the motive power by which society thinks." The six-pag- e article closes with this thought: "The teach-er who is interested in and who loves people; who is pre-pared as well as he can pos-sibly be; who spends time that someone else's child might benefit, will be the teacher long respected, longer remenv bered, and best loved. Supt. Stansfield writes that a good teacher believes with all of his heart the words of Thornton Wilder, "There are few pleasures equal to that of imparting to a voracious learn-er the knowledge that one has grown old and weary in ac-quiring." Mr. Stansfield is a former professor of the School of Business at Brigham Young University.

Young people advised to take available employment on farms Each summer thousands of youth enter Utah County's la-bor force, some seeking sum-mer work and others, perman- - ent, full-tim- e employment. In 1961, Utah County graduated 1900 high school students, 2000 high school juniors were out of school, 2500 students were taking a summer recess from college, and 300 voca-tional school registrants be-came potential member of the area's work force. Granted, not all of these individuals are ac-tively seeking employment; but a goodly number are doing so. It should be quite obvious that employment opportunities will be limited for such a heavy in-flux. Part of the answer to finding jobs for these youth lies in agricultural work. Per-forming useful, gainful, tasks is accepted as meaningful and desirable for youngsters. Work gives them valuable experience, lets them feel a sense of in-dependence, and provides a chance to assume responsibil-ity. With population growth, the number of young workers look-ing for work increases. In spite of this growth, fewer and few-er youth seek agricultural work. As a result, migratory workers secure these employment opportunities which should have been ear-marked for local workers. In 1954, migratory labor account-ed for six to twelve percent of (Continued on Page 2, Col. 3) '' --v? V ; s f x, ' 1 1 . I j B. H. Jacobs Funeral rites held Tuesday for B.
