Morris I am often awarded a verbal thump on the head for accurately calling schools "government schools" and for claiming there exists a nationalized curriculum. In a semi-organized way, the federal government govern-ment has been funding and promoting school programs dealing with everything from reading to behavior modification. However, to assure the rapid spread of government-approved programs, a National Diffusion Network has been created as a division of the U. S. Office of Education. To date, the network has approved 199 programs, and of that number 109 were funded for the 1977-78 school year. The existence of a National Diffusion Network should give cause for some sober concern for a number of reasons. One very important im-portant reason is that programs chosen for promotion are selected by only 22 people--ll each from the U. S. Office of Education and the National Institute of Education. There is no public participation and no public review of programs selected for dissemination. Also, these government programs are not simply made available to schools. Each state has at least one state facilitator whose job it is to promote and implement selected programs, and to help move them across state lines into schools around the country. In other words, this is a sophistioated operation with an ominous potential for widespread government govern-ment control of what goes on in the schools. An example of the kind of garbage hustled by those 22 change agents on the National Diffusion Network selection panel is The New Model Me program which has been stirring up storms of protest all over the country. The New Model Me is in 26 states with many additional pilot implementations. Parents have assailed this high school program as "psycho-social therapy", claiming students are required to waste valuable time with role playing, psychodrama, encounter sessions and simulation games, with the teacher functioning as amateur psychiatrist. I've reviewed one of the teacher's manuals for The New Model Me and in addition to the psycotherapy and values- A Real changing aspects, it is also loaded with the most offensive kind of political indoctrination. When a program like this is implemented, and parents belatedly become aware of what is going on, it is automatically thought to be a local program, and that with some reasonable dialogue with the school board, it can be eliminated. Needless to say, once the federal goverment is involved and a bureaucracy at the state level has been set up to make sure things go as planned, it takes more than reasonableness to stop the mischief. Yes, there is a nationalized curriculum -199 programs approved and funded with lots more to come. "Public schools" controlled by local citizens is largely a myth and becoming more so as the federal government, via 22 hand-picked change agents decides what American children will learn and become. And why not? 1984 is only five years away. Falsehoods not only disagree with truths, but usually quarrel among themselves. Daniel Webster I awoke one morning and found myself famous.

Gott-fredson: Gott-fredson: .."If we have knowledge let others light their candles by it". A previous issue of this paper disclosed the nature of earth quakes as related to faulting. This one reveals what happened hap-pened when the earth faulted many centuries ago near Springville. The center of interest is focused upon Round Peak, and the surrounding surroun-ding area. In sharp contrast to the last article this one deals with specific movements of the earth's crust. A FAULT was defined, telling what causes it, but disclosing none of the action related to faulting. This tells of that action: We must realize that all of it came about by obedience of the earth to nature's LAWS! The primary fault was 150 miles in length, but there were many secondary faults each canyon leading from this vallev beinc amone them KO( K CANYON is a secondary fault, as is HOBBLE CREEK: MAPLE: SPANISH FORK, PAYSON, and other CANYONS. They were all caused by faulting: which is to say that lubricants were washed down into creveses of the fault line, such as clay, shale, gypsum, etc., all contributing con-tributing to the fault line thrust. It is for this reason that the Forest Service rejected Heritage Mountain with respect to the new Ski Resort; it is for this same reason that residents are warned not to build their homes to close to fault lines. We must use reason and common sense if we wish to protect ourselves. For the purpose of moving clock-wise systematically from point we shall begin at Rock Canyon. Kock Cnyon is secondary secon-dary fault as explained., above. A violent, action ' took place here as you can see. PROVO CANYON, our point of beginning was a secondary fault; the main fault runs south from here splitting and going around the foothills, foot-hills, the other branch going up ward through KOLOB BASIN known as a fautl basin, (let us pause here for a moment). It split again and again, going down through Provo Rock Canyon, Slate Canyon and Springville Rock Canyon, following lines of least resistance, but as you can see, the action was indeed violent rupturing the earth to its very bowels. It would be unfair to state that these were separate actions, I prefer to believe that it all happened as in a twinkling of an eye and very violent as you will soon realize as this story progresses, another split took place at Camel Pass, leading into Hobble Creek Canyon, and still another at Kolob Pass leading downward, and still another at the top of Round Peak where it split again going around both sides of Round Peak, forming a junction just below the foot-hills with the fault which went southward around the foot-hills past Provo. All of this can be viewed from SKAW PEAK Senic Drive!. To be continued later. THANK YOU! A CONCERNED Citizen, Merril G. Open letter Can readers identify book?

'Celestial 2 A' to be staged at Valley Center "Celestial 2 A" will be returning to Utah Valley for the 1979 theatre season. Valley Centre Theatre, 60 N. 300 W. Provo, will be hosting the , show February , 22 'through March 24, every Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 'p.m. "Celestial 2 A" was originally written for the Brigham Young .University Mormon Festival of Arts in 1976. Gale Sears, the author, presides in Orem. The 'story is set in an apartment apart-ment building in New York City. Marshall C. 'Marshall, the Jewish landlord rents apartment 2A to Aaron Blake, a Mormon from Sugar City, i Colorado. When Cinda f Stevens returns to IB, her apartment, from an Africa safari, the quiet mornings are shattered with drum beats and war I chants. Aaron's lifestyle is quite different from this New York group and 'his influence causes many changes in their , lives. David Else chose to direct this play because , he felt it fulfills the needs of the community and the goals of this theatre. "I believe the play deals with circumstances in life," said Mr. Else, "People must choose their own path through the circumstances or allow the circumstances to choose life's path for them." A graduate of BYU theatre, Mr. Else has performed in and directed many VCT productions. This past August he directed "I Came to your Wedding." Doug Puckett of Orem will portray Aaron. He has been interested in theatre for many years and is a student of commercial aviation. Marshall will be played by Vernon Jensen, a student at Utah Technical College majoring in electronics. Mr. Jensen has acted in several productions in the Orem and Provo area. The! other tenant of the building, Cinda Stevens is a zoologist at the Manhattan Zoo. Acting in this role is Dawn Edwards, Ed-wards, a senior at Orem High. Miss Edwards has performed at Linda Shaw in Stage Door and several other productions in the Moab area. Also performing are Kirk Pipkin as Albee, the New York policeman; Bobby Chambers as Pat Wilier, former tenant of 2A and works as the Mad Hatter at Walt Disney World: and Kelly Griffin as Leslie Breck, a not so typical librarian. Tickets are available at the door of Valley Centre Theatre before each performance. Group rates are also available, call 373-9200 or 224-2062 for reservations.
