There will be two opening programs, one for students in the afternoon of Friday, March 31, beginning at 2:15 p.m., and another in the evening of that day, beginning at 7:30 p.m., for the general public. Both will be held in the high school auditorium. The programs will mark the opening of the 1961 Art Show, which will close this year on Sunday, April 30, two days following the unveiling program April 28. Programs different The opening programs are Just as surely as spring brings forth its new awakening of life in nature's flowers and trees, so likewise comes to the above familiar artistic setting, some of the most beauti-fully painted pieces of art portraying nature's colorful par-ade. The Springville high school art gallery will be buzzing with activity in preparation for the annual national ex-hibit throughout the month of April. planned to be quite dilterent this year and will be under di-rection of Grant Clyde of the Art Committee. He is being as-sisted by Harmon Hatch in collecting colored pictures rep-resenting the history of the art movement in Springville. The history will be divided into the early period of the art; the permanent collection and the current show, with Eli Tip-pett- s, Margaret Pehrson and Glen Turner to be the com-mentators on the various per-iods portrayed in colored slides. Pictures are arriving daily at the high school and the work of hanging under direction of Stanley Burningham, art cur-ator, will get underway soon. The deadline picture entries is Monday March 20. Prizes offered Mrs. Mae Huntington of the Art Board said this week that again this year, a $200 prize is being offered for the best oil in the April Show and a $100 prize for the best water-colo- r, as awards of merit. A picture or pictures will also be purchased from the exhibit. Mrs. Huntington reported al-so that a movement is afoot to devise a method of acquaint-ing the new residents of Springville with the art move-ment and an effort will be made to get in touch with those who have moved here re-cently to give them a special invitation to attend the art show and other events. Those people who are not contacted are being urged to attend the opening programs and other art functions. Many civic club groups are already making plans for their visits to the Art Gallery and several larger functions are anticipated. Among the gather-ings stimulated by an interest in the art is the annual Art Tea, sponsored by the Spring-ville Federated clubs which will be held this year on Sat-urday April 15. Student clubs and civic groups and many individual vi-sits are expected during the month from out-of-to- as well as from this city. Senator urges reduction of herds in parks Senator Frank E. Moss wrote Conrad L. Wirth, Director of the National Park Service, urging the opening of national parks in and near Utah to responsible hunters as "the most effective and hu-mane means of regulating deer and elk herds." Wednesday the Senator con-ferred with Director Harold Crane of the Utah State Fish and Game Commission on the question. In his letter Moss commend-ed Director Wirth for his frank statements made Wed-nesday to the 26th Annual North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference meeting in Washington's Stat-le- r Hilton Hotel. Wirth said that predatory animals such as the wolf and mountain lion are no longer ef-fective controls in maintaining a balance between the herds of elk and deer and their na-tural food supply. He told the conference that a wildlife "population explo-sion" on Federal reservations may make it "necessary to seek the cooperation of respon-siDl- e citizens in local areas to participate in herd reduction." Hunters have been excluded from national parks as a mat-ter of course. Wirth said, but, in the Grand Canyon for ex-ample, the result of an elk herd of 13,000 in an area that can support one of 6,000 is that "they are eating every-thing even the trees." Senator Moss wrote Director Wirth that hunting in national parks in Utah should be care-fully supervised, that over-huntin- g must be guarded against, and that the "primary consideration should still be the opportunity of park visi-tors to see the animals." Moss emphasized that Utah was suffering a severe water shortage which made it "doub-ly necessary to conserve for-age and prevent any unusual expansion of wild animal herds." Warm For the benefit of towns-people who went south or west for the winter we still report spring Weather in Springville. T e m p e ratures were in the high 60's Wed-nesday and while the weath-erman reported a chance of a shower in the afternoon, it hadn't arrived at press time. The spring-lik- e weather with a slight snow storm now and then seems to have disappeared in favor of sum-mer. Farmers, stockmen and fruitmen can hardly enjoy the weather however, as hopes grow, dimmer daily for adequate water this sum-me.- ". Businesses looted in night raid Utah county officers and the Springville police are investi-gating leads in connection with the burglary of two Springville business houses one night last week. Breaking into a safe at Smart's Feed and Hardware Store, the burglars took about $100 and the same evening about $35 was taken from the cash register at the Spring-ville Garage. A. L. Thorpe, owner, said the burglars made a dangerous entry into his place of business by way of a skylight. They left by the back door, ripping of the hin-ges. Entrance was made into the feed store by prying off some plywood on the south side of the building and it is believed the burglars used some tools taken from the garage to break into the building. Young turkey growers must sign up soon Boys and girls, ages 10 to 18, desiring to enter the 1961 Junior Turkey Program, should sign up immediately, according to Joel C. Barlow, Utah county Agricultural Agent. Application forms are avail-able from the county agent, and from Vocational-a- g tea-chers. These must be complet-ed, properly signed and sent to the USU Poultry dept. im-mediately. The Turkey poults will be available to boys and girls the latter part of April. These tur-keys, made available to the Utah Jr. Turkey program by Utah hatcheries, will be sup-plied to the boys and girls at a small cost to help defray costs to the Junior Turkey Show and pay entry fees. Turkeys will be banded for identification and must be raised as a part of a bonafied 4-- or vocational agricultural turkey project. This is requir-ed since the program is con-ducted as an educational effort in turkeyraising, Mr. Barlow explained. The projects may be certified by county agents, vocational agriculture instructors, 4-- leaders, interested parents or other qualified adults. ; Next fall the boys and girls may each exhibit their two best hens and toms as dressed birds in the Utah Junior Tur-key Show and there compete for attractive prizes and' auc-tion money. Farm couple tells interesting story upon return from India Douglas Simpson, Utah Far-mers Union President for the past year, and his wife have just returned from a six weeks'-visit- "to -- India:- along with fifteen other Amer-ican farm leaders, made the trip under the joint sponsor-ship of Farmers and World Affairs, Inc., of Philadelphia, and the Farmers' Forum, In-dia's national farm organiza-tion. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, now back at their farm in Kamas, viewed their experience as one which words could not justly describe. Their visits to villa-ges in India revealed large families living in one and two room huts. Many had no light, except the glimmer from a lamp burning oil made from mustard plants. The cooking facilities amounted to a cow dung fire burning on the dirt floor, with no chimney or es-cape pipe for the smoke. did we destroy food? What about price supports ?... control-led production? ...irrigation? How much of each commodity does - the US produce per acre.? How much milk per cow? How does farm income compare with industrial income? These, and many other similar questions were fired at the visitors. Also there were many technical questions about seeds, chemi-cals, sprays, fertilizers, etc. "Fortunately," says Mr. Simp-son, "we usually had someone in our group with a fairly good answer." During their visit, the Simp-sons spent several days as guests of one particular Indian farmer in a village near Bom-bay. His name was Mahendra Sharoff. Mr. Simpson describ-ed him as being a progressive young farmer, wealthy by In-dian standards, who had been to the United States as an exchange student. "The only food available to these families," explained the Simpsons, "was that which they grew themselves on their farms of usually, one, two or four acres." However, the Sim-son- s described the people as "wonderful . . .kind, generous, honest, and friendly." Mr. Sim-pson and his wife felt that the Indian people, generally, have an unlimited respect and love for America and Americans. They recalled that, during one two-da- y period, they talk-ed and visited with about a thousand farmers per day. At a fair the Simpsons met with some 600 farmers. Here, they were asked questions about how much the American farmer earned; how much he paid for his agricultural help. What about the US ... Farmer Sharoff's two story house was described by the Simpsons as one of the "best" they had seen in seven villages housing over 10,000 people. Mrs. Simpson felt that is was "most exceptional" in that it had electric lights and run-ning water, "cold", she added. She described the kitchen as a 12' x 14' room with a cement floor and a cement-bloc- k cook-stov- e (wood burning), with a small hole in the ceiling for the smoke to escape. Mr. Simpson added that the house had, what he called, "both a bath and a path." He explained that some 60 feet from the house was the build-ing housing the diesel engine which pumped the water from a well for household purposes and irrigation, plus powered the lt D.C. electric nlant. In this building was also hous-ed the bath, consisting of an oval metal tub in the center of a white tile floor, a cold tap and metel cup with which to pour water over oneself. Continuing her description of the house, Mrs. Simpson said "The yard was beautiful with flowers and shrubs." She also recalled that at the south end of the house was a large, round patio, used as a meeting place for farm organizations, social workers and various types of block activities. In the two days they stayed with their hosts, the Simpsons visited an experimental farm, specializing in grapes, and talk-ed with some 1500 people at six different meetings and at schools. Everywhere, they were welcomed with garlands and bouquets of flowers, tea and other refreshments. Always they were asked questions: What kind of crops in Amer-- ( Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) Services Friday, 1st Ward, for Mrs. Hutchings Funeral services will be held Friday at 11 a.m., in the First ward chapel for Mrs. Nora H.
