Presentation was made by Scoutmaster Guy E. Wilson. George completed all of the requirements for his award and excelled in many of the necessary skills. Leather craft being one of his favorites has resulted in many of his family and friends being recipients of beautiful leather handbags, hand-bags, belts, wallets, key holders and other leather items. George also has excelled in outdoor and survival skills which he has practiced on camping trips with his family and friends. He enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, cam-ping, motor cycling and has won several awards locally and statewide with his skill in small bore rifle target shooting competition. com-petition. He has held various positions in scouting, church and school activities ac-tivities and for three consecutive years was recipieni of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. For his eagle project he analyzed and organized a program to rejuvenate the city owned garbage containers along Main Street. He supervised and assisted other scouts in picking up the old containers, procuring new ones, painting, installing in-stalling decals and distributing the new containers along Main Street. George gained his Eagle at 15 years of age, has had a birthday since, is 16 years old and is a sophomore at Springville High School. The first book about playing checkers was published by Antonio Torquemada, off Valencia, Spain, in 1547. LEE JENSEN TAX SERVICE Income Tax, quick, capable and reasonable. Federal and all states. 373-0289 377-5660 Editorial Drivers, please be more careful Every year at least one person is killed and several more injured in taffic accidents ac-cidents along the Hobble Creek Canyon road. Often, accidents in the canyon have involved only one vehicle. But lately, some canyon residents have expressed a fear for their lives as they travel to and from their homes along that canyon raod. A narrow roadway at best, apparently some drivers scarcely give a second thought about making it even narrower by taking more than their share of space on the road. Those of you who have driven the route recently will know what we mean. Blind curves abound along the entire roadway. But still there are those who apparently feel that their half of the road should be taken from the middle, either because they are busily engaged in looking from side to side for some evidence of deer or elk, or because they choose to drive so fast that riding the center line is the only way they can control their car. Then there are those, who, after spotting the deer, stop right in their tracks, no matter where their car happens to be at the moment. And there are those also, who, if they do pull off to the side, don't pull off far enough. Stormy weather doesn't seem to stop the offender, either. Those drivers who travel way under the speed limit are also at fault, and cause otherwise careful drivers to take unnecessary chances. We would, therefore, urge all drivers, and especially those driving Hobble Creek Canyon road, to take positive action in becoming more careful and considerate drivers. Students learn of fusion power Dr. Larry Knight, professor of physics at Brigham Young University, spoke last week to a group of Springville High School students on the subject of fusion power. The Springville students involved in-volved were chemistry and physics students who have spent the last several weeks studying the technological aspects of the energy crisis and future energy sources. He explained Fusion power represents one of the two so-called ultimate power sources, the other being solar power. Nuclear fusion is the power released in a hydrogen or thermonuclear ther-monuclear bomb. The atomic bomb, such as the ones used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, use nuclear fission for power. Nuclear fission is the George Curtis Starts Feb. 15 Rack 1 Values to $94.00 Pant Suits Long Dresses Short Dresses Rock 2 Values to $40.88 Dress Pants Jeans, Loungewear Dresses Table 1 Values to $36.00 Ski Sweaters Cardigans Blouses Vests Skirts Table 2 Values to $18.00 Utility Jeans, Blouses Tops, Gowns Sweaters, Skirts splitting of atoms with the release of tremendous amounts of energy. Fission power has already been harnessed in the United States with over 60 nuclear powered generators in operation. Fission power also provides the energy for our nuclear navy. The desirability of fusion over fission results from the fact that fission reactors produce large amounts of radioactive waste and plutonium, the fissionable material used in i nuclear warheads. Fission reactors also burn uranium which is in limited supply. Fusion does not present a crucial waste problem and offers the advantage of virtually unlimited fuel. Eventually, fusion reactors will burn only deuterium or so-called heavy water. This heavy isotope of hydrogen is present in all sea-water in a concentration of thee parts per million. Using the energy available in one gallon of sea-water, fusion would allow you to drive your car from Los Angeles to New York and still have 99,997-1,000,000 of water left to cool your engine. Dr. Knight is currently working on two projects which he hopes will achieve sustained fusion reactions. The simplicity of fusion leads to the difficulty. In the fusion reaction two hydrogen nuclei are joined or fused to create helium with tremendous EVERY Thurs. Fri.

But that's what John Chidester has done. In fact, he began his business ventures well before he turned 18 by doing electronic repairs at home. Then he became involved in the selling business, then included popular records and tape recordings. Finally, last August, John set up shop downtown and opened his doors to the general public. He had faith enough in Springville to believe that a record and audio shop could be successful here, he said. He recently moved his business, Dimension Dimen-sion Audio and Electronics, from 510 North Main St. to52 W. 200 S., and hopes to open another store in American Fork soon. John carries everything in the record and tape line, stereo equipment, home entertainment systems, needles, cartridges, record care products, car stereo equipment, electronics, etc., and strike a deuterium pellet with enough energy to fuse the particles. The deuterium targets aree small enough to be lost in the eye of a needle. The laser fusion project is nearing the point where they can get as much energy out as what goes in. Presently they dump a terawatt of power in a pico second, Dr. Knight explained. Dr. Knight showed several slides of the laser project and reported on recent developments. Dr. Knight was very pessimistic as to the chances for success at Livermore a year ago but now feels that the United States will have fusion generated electricity in 20-30 years, he added. Wed.

Although he admits that he doesn't know too much about country or classical music, he will cheerfully order these records of tapes for those people who want them. In his own words, this promising young businessman, declares "I am really 'into' Springville because I live here and I really believe it needs a record store because I always hate having to run to Provo or the Mall every time I turn around." And even if you don't need anything in the music line at the moment, John says he would still like to have you come in and say "Hi," just for the fun of it. Tues.
