Adams returned re-turned home last Saturday morning, after spending a month in Southern California.' She visited with her daughter and son in law, Mr. and Mrs. Harold (Dawn Marie) .Phelps and their five daughters in North Hollywood. " They vacationed part of the time at the beach home of the Phelps' in Ventura. Here they were close to the ocean and spent time visiting and relaxing. relax-ing. Mrs. Adams reports a very nice trip and a good month of relaxation. If Battle Through long and costly experience, ex-perience, most of us have learned learn-ed not to expect too profound a display of intelligence1 on the part of our elected politicians or their appointed hirelings. .... However, we often hope that they employ common sense. But even then," we are many times disappointed. c According to recent reports, the Utah State agency having to do with driver education in the high schools, is again call-v ing for help. The automobile manufacturing companies have said, that beginning next fall, they will no longer furnish new cars for the-students to prac tice with. So, right away and without investigating other sources of revenue, the. directors of the program have called for a hike in the "driver training fee" charged Utah car owners, when they register their motor ve-. hides next yearThe owners now pay $1.00. The directors want to raise the bite to $1.50 or even $2.00. In our humble and unsolicited opinion, the present fee and certainly theiee, when raised, is discrimination of the rankest order. If learning to drive a motor vehicle is an approved part of the high school course of study, why should the cost of the same be levied against the car owners, as a group. It's a subject in the curriculum curricul-um 'of Utah's public school system, Just like English, algebra alge-bra or American history. As such, the cost of the driver , training program should come out of public taxation funds. Don't know why owners of motor vehicles in Utah have not objected to this unjust dis- . crimlnation long before mis. i DEDICATION Remodeled and ready for dedication ceremonies cere-monies Sunday Is Manila Ward Chapel Services are at 6:00 Strawberry Days Queen Contest Asks for Entries The Queen Contest Committee Commit-tee of the -Strawberry Days Assn. is urging al girls Interested Interest-ed in entering the annual Queen Contest to submit their entries as soon as possible.

It's always open season against us car owners. -.... We pay a husky sales tax when we buy the buggy in the first place. Everytime we purchase pur-chase a gallon 'of gas, we pay a state and federal tax. The same is true when a tire blows out and we purchase a new one. - . . When we have the heap repaired, re-paired, we "pay a tax on the new parts used and a- service tax on the labor. Each year we pay to have our vehicle registered, reg-istered, and later on, inspected. . We pay the regular property tax on the assessed valuation of. the car each year and if we park it on the streets ' of most sizeable cities, we pay a parking fee, just for the space. ' 'Soak the car owner. He likes to drive and will pay almost anything for the privilege," has become the slogan of too many of our tax-hungry politicians. For one, I'm not agin driver training in the high schools. I believe it has a useful place in the curriculum. In fact, I believe it's more valuable to the youth than ballet dancing. And that's paid for with public school money in some Utah schools. As one self-appointed spokesman spokes-man for v the oppressed and bedeviled clan, the "Lowly Car Owners," I say, "let's have an end to such discriminating shenanigans." Why not tax each plumber $1.00 a year to subsidize the , shower baths the kids take each day in high school? It would be no more unreasonable. unreas-onable. - - So long til' Thursday. Old Clock Back In Business on Main , Street In PL Grove The "Old Town Clock" in ; front of Grove Finance Co., formerly Bank of Pleasant, ' is a going concern once more. True to his pledge, when he purchased the building, Grove Finance manager S. Hal Hay cock has the venerable time-; piece up and running again. ! The clock, after frustrating Main Street visitors for sev- ' eral years, is telling the truth ! once more, and Mr. Haycock promises to "keep it honest" ' from now on. Repair work required considerable con-siderable time since the worn out parts had to be made by hand. The clock was repaired and set going again by Clyde F. Kouold of American Fork. Local Girls Asked To Get Ready For Rodeo Queen Kenneth Gillman, chairman of the Pleasant Grove Strawberry Straw-berry Days Rodeo has issued ' a special Invitation to the girls of the Pleasant Grove area, to start practicing . their : horsemanship horse-manship and plan to enter the Rodeo Queen Contest which will be held on the' evening of Memorial Mem-orial Day, May 31st. The contest is open to any girl 16 years old or over who has never peviously been a Queen of the Pleasant Grove Rodeo previous attendants are still eligible to compete for queen. The girls will be judged only on their horsemanship-special horsemanship-special fancy clothes are not a requirement, Mr. GDlman emphasized. em-phasized. Girls from all over the state are expected to enter the contest, con-test, but the Rodeo Committee feel that is would be of special excitment and interest if a girl from our own community could be the winner. The Strawberry Days Rodeo .Queen is scheduled for numerous numer-ous appearances on Radio and TV, so a Queen from Pleasant Grove would surely be a special boost for the celebration.
