WHAT A DOLL-Karen Bartholomew shows off doll she purchased as part of the American Fork Library's auction. Posing with Mrs. Bartholomew is Annette Smith of the Friends of the library, who oversaw the project. The library earned $368 from the sale of 16 dolls. The money will go to purchase computer hardware for the library's new computer. A.F. Volunteer Fire Dept. plans concert Justice, a southern rock band, will perform at the American Fork Junior High School auditorium Friday, Dec. 23, at 7:30 p.m. The performance is sponsored by the American Fork Volunteer Fire Department to raise funds to refurbish the city's classic fire engine. Tickets for the concert will be $4 at the door. However, tickets are being sold at reduced prices for students and their families at the American Fork Junior High and High School. The band recently released a song, "Silver Wing" and "Bending Me." They are embarking on the second leg of a concert tour with the North Utah County performance. The band is made up of Gary Whittaker and Doug Hake on lead guitars, Larry Barnes on rhythm guitar, Stan Robertson on bass guitar, Craig Adams on drums and Doug Tate on keyboards. The members of the band bring a combined 110 years of playing experience to the concert, which will include several Justice originals as well as popular songs re corded by other artists. The group has performed as an opening act for groups such as Mel McDaniels and the Grass Roots. Library declares amnesty for month The American Fork Library has declared an amnesty on all overdue materials for the month of December, according to City Librarian Celia Tomlin. During the month, no fines will be collected on overdue materials returned to the library, although there will be a fee assessed for damaged materials. "We would appreciate the return of all materials as soon as possible," Mrs. Tomlin said. She explained that the library will soon be converting to a computer checkout system. In order to get a family library card for that system, all fines will have to be paid up and all late books returned. She said the amnesty will give many residents a way of taking care of this without having to pay the usual late fine. ', .

PKTKKSKN I asked Mrs. Godfrey's third grade at the Forbes school to wrilp a paragraph describing how to trim a Christmas tree. One boy wrote, "Well, first you have to gel a tree for sure, and if you don't have one you might buy one." Another said, "The first thing is to get some candy canes and light bulbs." And still another said he'd put the lights on first and make sure they worked. A girl said, "I would make some gingerbread men and then go downstairs and get tinsel and ornaments." or-naments." An enterprising merchant-type boy suggested flocking the tree "if someone would pay me for doing it." Most of the class said a star on top "or someplace else" was necessary, and one kid with an eye to escaping any hard work suggested getting Santa Claus to decorate it for him. One girl put il succinctly and Jaycees to hold reunion Members of the American Fork Jaycees who were active in the organization from 1950 to 1955 are holding a reunion Saturday, Dec. 17, at 5 p.m. and the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grant Ivins, 1040 N. 100 East, American Fork. Mrs. Ivins said the meeting of "exhausted roosters," as Jaycees are known after they turn 36 and can no longer be members, will be held to "renew friendships and rehash the old days." She said those attending are encouraged to bring any pictures, scrap books or movies they have of Jaycee's activities. Persons interested in attending the get-together should call 756-2612. ( HEWS? 786-5273) right to the point: "Put on stars, bulbs, lights and lots of presents." And another with an eye for beauty suggested, "You can put some popcorn to make it pretie and tie on all the bootiful balls and silver stuff." One who seems in a hurry for the great day to arrive said, "Put a bunch of presents under it and open one each day and Christmas will come faster." And last of all, a small girl wrote, "Put a lot of happiness on the tree and lights and love." Then I asked them to write a paragraph listing what they would buy if they had a whole hundred dollars to spend for Christmas. Well if those kids have their way they'll beat inflation. One boy would buy a computer and a library and a new home, all for a hundred dollars. A girl said she'd buy a Santa Claus and his bunch of elves so she'd never run out of toys. One boy would buy a remote control P-51, a Mustang, a Seaplane, a B-27 and some bombs. Those kids really want to get around. One boy suggested a motorcycle, a three-wheeler, a four-wheeler four-wheeler and one bullet-proof traserzam, whatever that is. And another said he'd buy a car and drive it to California and then to New York and last to Washington, DC. Several girls opted for cabbage patch dolls and barbies . with a trunkful of clothes. One boy had it figured out this way, "I'd buy a new bike for seventy-five dollars and some G.I. Joe stuff for the other twenty-five dollars, and I'd ride my bike all around the world." One wanted a horse, another a bunch of dogs to chase all the cats out of her yard, and still another desired an elephant because it would go without gas. And one last little girl with a big heart wrote, "I'd buy a lots and lots of presents and give them all to the peepple."
