"The Institute and the Chair will share a common objective: extending man's knowledge of the American West," said President Oaks. Mr. Redd stated, "I should like somehow to get into the hearts and souls of young people the lessons of history, particularly those of Western America. The American pioneer has much to teach us, with his insistence on individual freedom of action, his spirit of adventure and his willingness to accept challenge. His lesson to youth today is how acceptance of challenge and risk-taking strengthens character and contributes to individual growth. Only through acceptance of great challenges and the struggle with adversity is man's soul enlarged and extended. Learning of the successful settlement of this country, we may gain courage to face squarely the challenges and problems of present-day frontiers." fron-tiers." President Oaks explained that the Institute will be interdepartmental in-terdepartmental in nature and will be concerned with all areas of Western Americana-history, economics, geography, sociology, religion, art, music, and folklore.

Open letter Can you vote for bond issue for county when school bond failed? I hope the citizens of Springville and the Nebo School District in general will think very seriously about the forthcoming for-thcoming bond issue proposal by the Utah County Commission. Promises have been made and I think in all sincerity, that taxes will not be raised if the citizens vote in favor of issuing $4,000,000 worth of bonds for a new county jail and judicial complex. If the citizens of Springville, can justify voting for comfortable com-fortable and pleasant quarters for criminals so they can enjoy their incarceration. If they can vote for elaborate judicial chambers for our judges and courts and offices for the county attorney that are more than adequate for their needs; and within the same year these same citizens voted against the issuing of bonds for much needed school facilities and building improvements im-provements in the Nebo School District on May 18, 1971, then their rationalization is on shaky ground. If these citizens vote in favor of comfortably housing criminals and didn't vote in favor of building good adequate modest buildings for our children, then it is very evident where most of these taxpayers values are. With the criminals and not our children. Personally, I voted in favor of the school boards recommendation recom-mendation to issue bonds for much needed physical facilities, and I believed them when they said taxes would not be raised. Personally I do not object to the county commissions call for issuing bonds for needed judicial facilities for our county. I appreciate ap-preciate what our elected officials of-ficials are doing in our behalf both in the county commission and on the school board. Citizens of Springville you now have a mandate to fulfil. If you can justify voting in favor of this new county complex in the amount of $4,000,000; you had better be honest with yourself and be prepared to recommend to the school board the building All aliens must give address during January Mr. Richard P. Staley, Officer in Charge, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Salt Lake City, advises that during January all aliens, with few exceptions, are required to report their addresses. Alien address report cards will be available at all post offices and Immigration and Naturalization offices during the month of January. The card should be completely filled out and returned to a clerk in one of these offices. Anyone unable to go to one of these offices may have a friend secure it for him and after filling it out, have someone return it to one of the above named offices. Aliens desiring information regarding naturalization or other immigration matters should apply at an Immigration Office where trained personnel will be available to answer questions and inquiries. Permanent Per-manent residents who have lost their Alien Registration Cards will also be furnished applications ap-plications for new cards at the Immigration Office. The law requires every permanent resident to have an Alien Registration Card in his possession at all times. Last year there were hundreds of aliens who were tardy in filing their Address Reports. Many stated that they had forgotten this requirement and had not seen, heard, nor read about the requirement through news media. Additionally there was a drop in the number of persons reporting during January 1971 as compared to January 1970, which indicates that there is failure on the part of some aliens to report their addresses. of new facilities for our children. My fellow citizens if you cannot and will not do this then you are not founded on true and just principles. The mandate is here, it is up to you to decide. Boyd D.
