In 1983 the art museum acquired 46 new works of art, paintings and sculpture, to add to the permanent collection. All of these are major works by well known artists. Many of them are pieces by early Utah artists to enlarge that growing grow-ing collection. Several of the new paintings were given by generous individuals in-dividuals who share a love for our museum and the extraordinary extraor-dinary things that are happening there. During the month of January, thousands of visitors from all over the state have come to view the splendid Norman Nor-man Rockwell exhibit. Several of these people have asked what the musuem building was originally built for. It was built for an art museum and has never been anything else. Since the first painting was donated in the spring of 1903, by John Hafen, it has taken many thousands of hours of volunteer time and work to make the museum what it is today The Springville Museum of Art is rapidly becoming "a place to go." A visitor to the museum from the New York art circle, remarked, "This is the best kept secret in the art world!" But not anymore. Things are happening at the Springville Spr-ingville Museum of Art. If you haven't been there lately, go now. Go and view the Rockwell paintings and all the new acquisitions ac-quisitions that are on display in the Grand Gallery. You will be proud!

COMMENT FAG Caveman married a Red Devil Dear Editor: I was a Caveman. I married a Red Devil. Together we raised six Springville Red Devils. Those six sons are all graduates of Springville High and achieved in academics and extra circular acitivites. All six are Eagle Scouts. All six served missions for the LDS Church. Three have college degrees, two vocational degrees and one is over maintenance for a school district. Each of those Red Devils are active in their communities and church and are good husbands and fathers. They could not have been better sons had they been "pussy cats!" Each citizen of Springville needs to support and become acquainted with the various departments at the high school. We need to recognize the achievements and honors that take place in the music, drama, art, homemaking business, science, mathmatics, English and athletic depertments. One visit to Fenton Billings wood work shop or Bob Brocks, lab., will tell you we have good things going on at Springville High School. Become acquainted with the record of the FFA or any other department at our high school. THEY ARE DOING GREAT! Read letters from California people who were impressed not only with the performance, but with the behavior of the SHS band students who toured there last November. County sets Springville zone hearing The Utah County Commission has scheduled a public hearing Feb. 8 at 11:30 a.m. on a. zone text request submitted by Springville City. The city wants a change that wilf allow construction of hydroelectric' generating plants in the Critical E n v i r o n m e n t -1 zone. The proposal gained a favorable recommendation from the County Planning Commission. If approved, the zone text change will allow Springville City to construct con-struct new hydroelectric power generating plants in Upper Bartholomew Bar-tholomew Canyon and next to their existing plant in Lower Bartholomew Bar-tholomew Canyon, as well as a generating plant and water storage tank in Spring Creek Canyon. The zone text change would allow Springville City to increase its power generation ability from .5 megawatts to about 4 megawatts in order to help meet demands placed in the city's power system Stouffers Foods Corporation, which intends to build a food processing plant in Springville's industrial park, will require eight megawatts alone. Voltek volunteers "Save the Buck- or Doe, or Fawn ii Valtek, Springville manufacturer of automatic control valves, is one of the many organizations aiding the starving deer in Utah County. A "Save a Buck-or a Doe, or a Fawn" drive, headed by two Valtek employees-Brad Allan of Payson and Don Close of Orem-have collected $250 since its kick-off January 11. Allan said 1,600 lbs. of deer pellets have been purchased from the donations, and delivered to the Trojan Powder Co. property at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. Lumber for four feedine bins built by employees was donated by Valtek. "It all started when a friend of mine nad to haul away a few dead deer that starved in Spanish Fork Canyon," Allan says. "I love to hunt but I also love the deers' beauty. We just had to do something." "We saw the need for private individuals to become involved, so here we are," adds Close. According to Allan and Close, all Valtek donations are going toward the purchase of deer pellets. Notice to class of 1965 The graduating class of 1965 from the Springville High School is holding a meeting tonight, February 1, at 7 p.m., in the high school cafeteria for the purpose of making plans for their 20 year reunion to be held in September of this year. Anyone from that class who is interested in-terested in helping In any way are invited to come. If there are any questions, contact Kathleen Childs Card, 489-6113. E Granted, there are students having problems at Springville High School. Like any other school, we did not escape this area. But these problems did not come about because of a mascot emblem either in or out of context! A grateful Springville mother, Mamie Hjorth Proud of 'Red Devils' Dear Editor, I couldn't believe my eyes when I read in the Salt Lake Tribune (Jan. 20) what Mrs. Peterson said about Springville High's mascot, the Red Devils. I was born and raised in Springville. After I married, my husband and I moved to Price. We have lived in Price for nine years now and I have tried to go to every game Springville Red Devils have played against the Carbon Dino's. Whether its football or basketball, you'll find me sitting in the stands. I go to these games because Springville is my hometown and I'm pround of the "Red Devils". Look around you Mrs. Peterson, Springville has alot of terrific people in it. That's what makes Springville the great town it is. Most of these people are life long residents and at one time or another they were a Red Devil. Just because Springville High's mascot is a Red Devil, it's not going to affect the young children. Like most of us in time, they'll be proud to be a Red Devil. If you feel that strongly about the Red Devils, maybe Mrs. Peterson you should consider moving to Spanish Fork (Dons), Provo (Bulldogs) or Orem (Tigers). A Red Devil and proud of Springville High.

HT V A cb Legislative Report By Don R. Strong The budget session for the 45th Utah State Legislature concluded at twelve o'clock on Saturday night with people scurrying through the halls trying to get the last bills signed. I don't believe all of them made it through. It is always interesting in-teresting to watch the bills being discussed through the time allotted during the session and come to vote the last day. Some things will never change. There are some significant things which happened. This session. I believe the Career Ladder concept is a measure which needs to be in place. It allows us to single out the teaching profession separate from the rest of the education community. In the past, the only way to affect the system was to fund it across the board. I believe the time to reform the system has come. With the career ladder concept I think it will be much easier to deal with. There were a lot of companion bills on education but I'll have to wait to see which ones passed. The mood of the Legislature was to effect in this year and future years the type of reform necessary to upgrade education. It won't be done in one year but I think we did make a start. It was obvious that the funding of education and flooding would require some tax raises. We felt very strongly that the tax increases should be broad based. I believe that by dealing with several different methods of taxes we successfully effected everyone but I don't think any one group was injured more than the others. The raises were difficult to make but I didn't see any other way to do it. There was a three cent increase in the gas tax with the money going for the repair and maintenance of the State System of highways. The Interstate System is in pretty good shape financially but the state system of highways which carries most of the traffic is woefully un- Unions and political endorsements G. Donald Gale, director of public affairs for KSL, in his editorial comment on January 17, 1984, posed these questions about unions and their position in endorsing political candidates. "What right does a union--or any other dues-supported organization-have organization-have to endorse political candidates?" can-didates?" "That 's the question Mike Royko asked in his newspaper column recently. And it's a question all union members ought to ask themselves these days. Already, some unions have endorsed candidates can-didates in the presidential election. Such endorsements usually carry with them financial support, organizational support, and subtle or not-so-subtle pressure on members to vote for the endorsed candidate." "But decisions to endorse are made by a few union leaders. No one polls the members to find out how they feel about the candidates. Leaders meet in secret session to decide how they will spend the money of union members and how they will use the political influence of union members." "Those who disagree have no voice in the matter."

I thought it was a positive move to address the problem of poor roads. I believe this session was the most compressed and issue oriented session I have been associated with. The lack of revenue presented problems with every budget and every program. Each item had to be addressed in light of the whole budget process. It was impossible to do things in isolation. If we treated one group unfairly or worse than another we would hear about it. It was a very delicate balance to try and keep all the interests of state government happy or fairly dealt with. In treating the education package it was also necessary to treat the public employees and others fairly. Flooding was an issue which had to be dealt with and I believe the package passed by the legislature will do exactly that. The flooding issue had some interesting sides to it. Salt Lake County would not sign the dredging contract with the Corps of Engineers for dredging of the Jordan River. I suppose they wanted the water to stay in Utah Lake. As a result they were not successful in getting the causeway across Great Salt Lake breached. I think they will be in double trouble when the flood waters come in spite of their wishes and flood Salt Lake County. I think they cut off their noses to spite their face. It will still be a few days before we know what bills really passed both houses. I know what passed the House but in order for a bill to become law it has to pass both houses and be signed by the Governor. There are always a few bills vetoed by the Governor. We will meet in special session on March 19th to consider those bills vetoed, those that should have passed and need to pass, and the Constitutional questions which will be put on the ballot for the vote of the electorate in November. Chief among those bills will be the Judicial article which deals with a streamlining of the entire Criminal Justice System. "It is a total distortion of the function of labor organizations. The same applies to professional associations and other non-political organizations. Their function is to bargain with employers, or to protect the rights of members, or to improve the standing of the profession, or to perform other activities defined in the constitution and bylaws of the organization." "KSL believes when union leaders assume they have the right to represent the political views of all their members, they are assuming a right which not only does not exist but which threatens the rights of individual members," Mr. Gale said.
