S. stake, not only for the beauty and utility of the building, build-ing, bat also for the unique and courageous manner in which, it was financed, entirely independent independ-ent of public funds, civil or ecclesiastical. ec-clesiastical.

The organization sold $60,000, in bonds to finance the undertaking, under-taking, bearing two per cent interest in-terest . and payable in 1950. A loan, secured by 200 members, was also obtained at a Provo bank. The bonds are held by over 50 per cent of the families in the Sharon district.

Beautiful Furnishings The interior furnishings of the community theater are practical, . yet luxurious with comfortable seats, arranged in staggered rows. It is the first theater in the inter-mountain country to install "black light" lighting and decorations. All light sources are visible, yet the murals and designs de-signs glow with the fluorescent lighting. It is claimed that the auditorium audi-torium is the most perfect accous-tically accous-tically of any in the state, with a special rock wool insulation, which produces perfect hearing conditions. Since the principal use of the auditorium will be for the showing show-ing of motion pictures, no expense ex-pense has been spared to install the very best project equipment and screen with modern sound mechanism, provided with e very-known very-known safety device for the protection pro-tection of the audience as well as the operator.
