Editor, Springville Herald: A special meeting is scheduled by the Utah Valley Chapter of UG A to hear a lecture by Dr. Alan Rogers from England, who is here to participate in the World Conference on Records in August. This special meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 29, in Room 6225, BYU Library. The public is invited. Dr. Rogers was responsible for the draft of the new legislation on parish records recently passed by the British Parliment. This legislation is of great importance and interest to genealogists doing research in England, in that it requires the collection of parish registeds to central Sixteen-year-old Mapleton lad setts first magazine story By Carma Morgan Writing the Great American Novel is the secret dream of many, if not most, of us. Well, if not the Great American Novel, then the Great American Magazine Article; well if not the Great American Magazine Article, a cash sale on the first query! Fremont Woodward, 16, on a challenge from his Creative Writing teacher sold his first article to a trade magazine for $125. Woodward, a sophomore at Springville High School, enrolled in a noon-hour enrichment class for gifted writers, who were nominated by their counselors to take the class. Under the direction of Herb McLean, their volunteer teacher, who is Valtek Corporate Communications Com-munications Director and owns an advertising agency in Provo, the students learned how to research, write, query and sell magazine articles. ar-ticles. Young Woodward took up the challenge and on receiving a go-ahead from the manufacturers of a welding torch used in the production of valves at Valtek, he conducted in-depth interviews, organized his material, typed it, sent it off, and a few short weeks later he received his first check for professional magazine writing from Metallingical Industries, a Tinton Falls New Jersey firm. With no little yellow rejection slips to cut his teeth on, his "New Short Torch, A Moneymaker for Control Valve Firm" put him immediately into the professional class. Woodward, the second oldest of the five children of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Woodward, Mapleton, and their only son, likes writing as a way of earning a living. Presently he earns his spending money by washing dishes at an Orem restaurant. wooawara is a good Woodward.

He plays a cello in the school orchestra and looks forward to going to college where he thinks he might like to pursue advertising as a career. "Though I have made no firm decisions," he adds. But he has decided to write other articles for Valtek, he agreed. McLean, himself an established magazine-article magazine-article writer, a teacher of a Magazine Article four articles a week and earn around $800 a month to put himself through college." McLean said. "He's a bright fellow who picked right up on the idea and should have a good future ahead of him as a writer." McLean likes people and likes to take "rough lumps of clay and sit them down in front of a typewriter. It is sometimes surprising what happens," he said. "Sometimes you find a diamond." - Carolyn and Gary D. Ford, Mapleton, are home from Detroit. Gary represented Utah County at the Republican National Convention.

Many of these records are currently held by local ministers who are often reluctant to make them available to researchers. This legislation is a step in the right direction for making many more registers and records accessible to researchers. Besides his part in this legislation, Dr. Rogers is currently visiting professor in Family and Local History at BYU. He will speak at the World Conference on Records and is invited to lecture at several universities in California and other parts of the US before returning to England, this fall. Dr. Rogers plays an important roll in local history in England as professor of continuing education and is an active director of the Institute of Continuing Education at the New University in Ulster, Ireland. He has taught English and Medieval history for 20 years; authored 'numerous articles in journals concerning various areas of world history. His subject at the meeting on July 29 is "Drafting of Legislation on Parish Records."

Mrs. Lund reports that two sump pumps, operating at full capacity, cannot keep up with the rising water. A deep freeze was previously ruined by water in their basement, reported Mrs. Lund. The new deep freeze has been placed on 18-inch blocks. The blocks protect it from standing water in the basement, but getting supplies from the deep freeze is another matter. One family, who asked not to be identified, said many items in their basement were ruined when sump pumps were accidently disconnected from the power source for about three hours. A college-age son's journal, which he has kept for several years, was soaked along with many other personal items, some of which were in storage for a married daughter. The Brague family, who have spent the entire week cleaning up flood related problems, came to Mapleton from Idaho. Mrs. Brauge reports that an irrigation project known as the Minidoka Project was planned and constructed for some desert areas of Idaho. The project included a dam in the Snake River and a large irrigation canal system. After irrigation commenced, com-menced, Mrs. Brauge said ground water began to rise in the area where they lived to the point of damaging homes. The project was changed to include large sprinkling irrigation-systems irrigation-systems instead of land-flooded systems. Now the . ground-water has dropped substantially, she said. Dean L. Tew, city councilman appointed ap-pointed to work with Mapleton Irrigation Company, reported that he has made contact with Jesse Warren of the irrigation company. Tew feels that a special drainage system will have to be established before funds would be available to dredge the drainage canals. These canals have not been cleaned by the irrigation company for 8 years or more. Two local girls survive tragic Mountain Home vrech forming for a special occasion at BYU.

"Both Carolyn and I were very appreciative ap-preciative to be elected to represent Utah County at the- Republican National Convention in Detroit," said Gary Ford, of Ford & Associates, an insurance and investment firm located in the Jefferson School complex. While "Unity" and "Get Ronald Reagan Elected" were the themes for the Republicans, "Detroit loves a good party," was the theme for the host city. And what a party it was. Unbelievable fireworks, displays, out-door concerts, Pat Boone, and others. "Ethnic dances and food," prompt and efficient bus and transportation, tran-sportation, excellent food, and courteous cour-teous and friendly people were the rule-not rule-not the exception. From the ditch-diggers ditch-diggers to the mayor, the people of Detroit went out of their way to make us feel at home in their city, and not one garbage truck was seen! It was interesting to meet with "hobnob" "hob-nob" and be interviewed by both local and national newsmen and women. I almost ran Dan Rather off his feet when someone pushed me. We were especially excited about meeting briefly with Ronald Reagan and his daughter. Dr. Pfiefer, a Detroit surgeon and stake president, invited the entire Utah Delegation to his home for a backyard party one afternoon. One of the local news-cameramen, caught me diving into the lake ! We had an excellent time. Senators Garn and Hatch, and representative Dan Marriot, were also included in the delegation, and took part in most of our activities. The convention floor at times turned into a real "circus." We danced, sang, held signs, cheered, clapped, and made all kinds of noise. But, we were there for a serious purpose. Every delegate was strong in his determination to help alter the current course of government intervention, to strengthen our economic standing world-wide, and to bolster a sagging military position world-wide. Standing with thousands, like ourselves, our-selves, we were, and are proud to be Americans-proud to stand and sing, "God Bless America," and proud to have tears in our eyes to represent our fellow Utahns.
