Show lie July 28, 1977 Springville farmers take note: safty doesn't grow on trees Pounting to the high cost of accidents as well as the often tragic consequences, con-sequences, a Utah county farm leader urged both farmers and non-farmers to observe National Farm Safety Week July 25-31, Robert Holdaway, president of the Utah County Farm Bureau and a dairy farmer from Provo, pointed out that the cost in medical expenses, lost work time-often during a peak production season for food producers-and other losses has led the National Safety Councils (NSC) to set this year's theme as "Safety Is a Good Investment." "Last year 5,400 farm residents were killed in accidents and 5,000,000 were diabled," Holdaway said in quoting an NSC estimate. While that included work, home, recreation and traffic accidents, agricultural work-related accidents claimed nearly 1,900 lives. "Most of those deaths and injuries could have been avoided with careful work habits. Farm Bureau is dedicated to helping make farm and ranch work Mark Fullmer, son of Dr. and Mrs. Clark E. Fullmer, has been called to serve a mission for the LDS Church. He will be serving in the Georgia Atlanta mission. His farewell will be held Sunday July 31 at 2 p.m. at the Springville North 13th Ward. He will leave for the mission home on August 6th.

President Jimmy Carter has issued a proclamation declaring July 25,-31 as national safety week. "The dollar loss (of farm accidents) is great but the cost in human suffering is even greater. We have already done much to make agriculture safer, but we can do more" the president said in signing the declaration. Most of the interviewing of farmers in the 1975 Utah farm accident survey was done by Farm Bureau women, Holdaway pointed out. That survey showed that Men-husbands and sons-have sons-have about 70 percent of the farm accidents, ac-cidents, and that the percentage of accidents caused by the leading problem areas are: animals, 23.7 percent; vehicles other than tractors and trucks, 22 percent; and agricultural machinery, 12.7 percent. Nebo superintendent writes By Joe Reidhead We have had quite a few complaints and questions about the early start of school and where are all the buses going when, school is out. Many persons have called asking why school is starting so early on August 24th. With the exception of one year when we started school after Labor Day and received many complaints com-plaints because school had to be held a week beyond Memorial Day, we have scheduled the same calendar. The way certain weekends, holidays, and dates fall, however, it changes the actual date that school starts. For example, last fall it started August 25th. This August it is scheduled to start on August 24th and we have exactly the same calendar. Fifteen districts start Wednesday, Wed-nesday, August 14 th or Thursday August 25th or earlier. Alpine's opening date is August 25th and Provo's is the 22nd. The state requires that we hold 180 days of school with two days being allowed for workshops and parent conferences. In addition to that we scheduled the regular recognized holidays, two" days of spring vacation, one day for the deer hunt, and two days for UEA. We also have to schedule one day for the teachers to check out after school ends. All of this must be done before Memorial Day if we do not want to hold school into June. We have tried all types of methods to get input on setting the calendar. However, what we have found is that everyone wants to decide on the school calendar and we still have to get back to doing what seems to please the majority of the parents, students, and employees. About the use of school iirJunn 1 IRA's Springville (Utah) Herald buses during the summer: sum-mer: We have a great number of educational programs going on this summer. Besides the three year round schools Kent Gledhill, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Gledhill, received his Eagle Scout badge in a Court of Honor held after Sacrament meeting last Sunday in the Springville Sixth Ward. The presentation presen-tation was made by Jerry York of the Bishopric and Robert Frazier, a former scout master in the Sixth Ward. Kent is Senior Patrol Leader of Troop 68 and also Deacon Quorum President. He is 13 years old and will be in the eighth grade this fall. Kent will leave with 17 other boys from the Hobble Creek District on Friday, July 29 for the National Scout Jamboree at Moraine State Park in Pennsylvania. 1 3W Fireside set for July 31 "Teens, treasures and temples" will be the theme of the fireside held July 31st by Springville Stake. All xoung women, ages 12 to 18, are invited to attend. The fireside will be held at the Tenth Ward, in the relief society room at 7 p.m. Special speakers and musical numbers are scheduled. in operation with approximately ap-proximately a thousand students registered for the summer quarter, we have regular summer programs in some other schools in the district. Teachers in both of these programs utilize buses for field trips during the summer. In fact, they orientate much of their science and environmental en-vironmental education to field trip excursions. We also have field trips for various other programs such as summer band, the Friend's Club, and other clubs and student groups who carry on activities during the summer months. . We run the regular handicap program in conjunction with PYovo School District, with Nebo's handicap studentr being transported daily to Provo just as in the regular year. Nebo District operates the summer - Migrant program for Utah County. This requires a considerable con-siderable amount of busing throughout the district and as far north as Orem. The outdoor education program requires busing and the Alternative High School requires some busing. And even though you may have seen Nebo buses traveling in the district, we really only use about five buses during the summer out of a total of over fifty. The cost of summer busing is part of the budget of each specific project or program or is being paid by the organization using the bus so that the use does not take funds from the regular transportation tran-sportation program which is intended to pay the cost of getting students to and from school during the regular school year. If you have other questions about why some things are being done please feel free to call Dr. Ray Warner here at the district office. If the question would seem to be of general interest we will try to answer it in this weekly column. If it would seem to be of interest in-terest only to an individual in-dividual or a few people, a direct answer will be provided.
