Services receives national award The 1983 Outstanding Organization Award of the National Community Eduation Association will be presented to the Community Education Services unit of the Utah State Board of Education Educa-tion for outstanding service at a convention con-vention on Dec. 9. The association that will be presenting presen-ting the award to the Utah-based group works closely with many educational educa-tional groups and has a current membership of 3,000 to 3,500 members nationwide. Some of the educational groups that the association deals with are the Council of Chief State Schools and the National School Board Association. Selection of the recipient of the award was made through national competition, and it is the highest award that the association gives to an organization. The Community Education Educa-tion Service received the award because they have demonstrated leadership in the areas of school based bas-ed planning, community involvement in problem solving, and the use of volunteers and community resources in the public schools. According to Denise Lindberg, community com-munity educational specialist with the Utah State Board of Education, the award was given to the group in part for the programs they have helped start in Uintah County. One of these programs is the development of the Uintah School Community Development Council. There are about 25 members currently current-ly serving on the council. Hyrum C. Toone is the chairman, Father John Kokal is the vice chairman and Carol Limburg is the secretary. The award to the Community Education Service will be presented at the annual awards banquet which is being held in Tulsa, Okla., between Dec. 7 and 9. On Dec. 7 Father Kokal will give a presentation to the group which is expecting ex-pecting about 1,500 in attendance. Father Kokal will talk about what Uintah Uin-tah County is doing in the areas of education and present some of the ideas that the local council has devised devis-ed for improvements in community education. Currently the council is reviewing the requirements for high school graduation, fund raising activities and high school concerns.

"Most trees are cut by the 5th of December and they are going to get no fresher on the retail lot," said William Huxster, a forest resources specialist at North Carolina State University. Huxster said shoppers should check prices and trees at several lots before making a purchase so they can get a better idea about the freshness of the trees and their relative cost. Freshness can be determined by bending a few needles. The needles of a freshly cut tree will be pliable. Those of a dry tree will snap when bent. Tapping the trunk of the tree on the ground in another measure a shower of needles when the tree is dropped means a dry tree and more needles on the floor at home. "A fresh tree will last in the house three or four weeks with no problem," Huxster said. "The secret is to get the fresh tree back into water rather than getting a dried tree back into water. A dried tree will not pick up water. The fresher the tree, the faster it recuperates." Waighstill Avery, president of the North Carolina Christmas Tree Association, said a couple of inches of the trunk should be cut off so the tree can soak up water. "If you don't do that, the tree has sealed itself at the bottom and water can't be taken up," he said. Once inside, trees should be set away from heat vents and kept adequately ade-quately watered. Huxster said trees this year should cost about the same as last year, with the price depending on height, density densi-ty and freshness. Huxster said price increases will depend on individual retailers, with some retailers charging . more because they are selling a bet-. ter product. "If the retailer has upgraded the quality of his product, then his trees will be considerably higher, but it should be reflected in better quality trees than he had last year," Huxster said. Both Huxster and Avery believe more American homes will have natural trees this year. "Six or seven years ago there was a trend to go to the artificial tree," Avery said. "But in the last three years or so, the trend has been to go back to the natural tree. I think people peo-ple are buying natural trees because they like the individuality a tree represents." Avery also forecast a growing market for natural trees. "As long as we give a good product at a reasonable price, we will not have any problems," he said.
