During the month a total of ten arrests were made, one for running a stop sign, one following an automobile auto-mobile accident and eight on drunkenness. drunk-enness. A fine of two dollars was assessed on the stop sign case, five dollars on first offenders and ten dollars on second offenders of the intoxication charges. In one case a twenty-five dollar fine was assessed on an intoxication and disturbing the peace charge. A noticeable absence of intoxication intoxica-tion on the streets has been seen the past ten days since the city council issued orders that arrests are to be made whenever officers find persons per-sons Intoxicated. It Is surprising to find that not a single case of speeding is on the city docket for the month of August and yet there Is hardly a day passes that cars and trucks don't race through Main street far in excess of the speed limits.

Qroesbeck and Myrtle Houston; Room mothers, La-Von-Baird, e-hairman.- Each roots te school is to have a "room mother" who will work in connection with the teacher and executive board of the P.-T. A. The Installation of the room mother is something new in this distsrict, although this method of contact between teacher, parent and child has been used for some time in other parts of the state and nation. It has proven most helpful wherever It has been used and the officers of the local organization have high hopes that it will prove equally successful in this city.

Band Members Enjoy Day At Lagoon By Maxlne Taylor After enjoying a highly successful summer, going places and doing a lot of things, the American Fork high school band concluded the season sea-son with a trip to Lagoon last Friday. Fri-day. Now I admit when the band parades pa-rades before you, all decked out in flashy red and white, they-all look the perfect picture of dignified children, chil-dren, but when they go out Just to have a good time well, that is an altogether different story. Oh my yes! Last Friday at 2 o'clock, we hopped Into our waiting bus and prepared to leave. Mr. Bird had Just given us a quarter each from the city which was to entitle us to a free swim and we were in the heighth of our glory. If you have ever had anything given to you free you can understand what a gleeful bunch we were. Why, with the ruckle we each brought from home we could spend days at the resort! Well, the bus was Just starting up when here came Mr. Bird again, and guess what he had this time. Youll never guess, so I'm going to tell you quick a brand new dollar bill for each of us, with compliments from the Poultry day committee. Well, I'm asking you, did excitement reign for the next few minutes? It 'Bwafcfertatoly.'idid;'m-;WhW'''W'Tse: tied down we were Just leaving Murray Mur-ray in our dust. The trip up was fairly quiet. Each one of us was trying to figure out how we could possibly spend a-11 that money In one day. After arriving we all made for different places and things so I can't make an exact report, but upon up-on looking around when leaving I could see that everything had been used. The toboggan slides were worn thin, the giant racer rattled something awful, and the fun house was a total wreck. We concluded the day by dancing In that grand dance hall to Eddie Brunholt's orchestra and although we country folks felt a little awed by the city dudes and their fancy "trucking" and "Big Apple", we managed to hold our own. Did we have a good time? Did we enjoy ourselves? Did we try everything? every-thing? Did we eat 'till we were all afflicted with indigestion the next day? We surely did! And we want to thank the city and Poultry day committee for a grand time. We all surely did appreciate it and we wish to take this opportunity to tell them so.

Registration at High Schools Of District Next Monday Seminary Makes Contribution to Community One of the most uplifting and progressive elements in any community com-munity Is Its religion. It is the foundation upon which our state was settled. .s we know, the fine, noble influence of the Gospel has spread through out the nations of the world. Wherever the Gospel message has been widely accepted church seminaries and Institutes have been founded. The L. D. S. Seminary offers dally classes of religious education to the Junior and Senior High School stu dents. Consequently It Is a stabilising stabilis-ing religious factor in the lives of these young people. Usually these students who become well founded In the faith are more stable and upright socially and spiritually. Spirituality Is one of the most desirable de-sirable personality traits we can acquire. It Is the divine element In man; the supreme crowning gift that makes him king of all created things. To acquire spirituality an individual must have a desire for such an acquisition and a faith ln eternal realities ' But; 'as James says, "Faith without works Is dead." One must therefore have an opportunity to work and practice. The Seminary offers such oppor tunities In our community." in this Institution the students prepare themselves for constructive and active ac-tive service In the church and civic organizations. They are offered opportunities op-portunities to participate dally in the Seminary. Leadership abilities are encouraged ana the young people peo-ple learn early to accept responsibilities. responsi-bilities. They participate in ward functions that have been worthwhile worth-while and entertaining. While outlining, out-lining, and participating In such functions the students have received much Joy and development. They have had the opportunity to strengthen their faith by means of study, prayer, and practice. The three dally courses listed In the Seminary curriculum are Old Testament, New Testament, and Church History. Each of these are vital, worthwhile courses. The study of the Bible Is considered both as a literary work of art and as a history his-tory of an ancient people. The Old Testament preserves for us the story of the moral and spiritual problems of early Israel. The fine characters represented here make us realize that the qualities that made successful suc-cessful men in Bible times remain the same today. In the New Testament study, the life and teachings of Christ are In troduced. Personal application of the instructions of our Savior la stressed in this course. The Church History class ac quaints students with the lives of our church leaders, especially that of Joseph Smith. In this course the Book of Mormon and other church books, as well as the beliefs and principles of the Latter-day Saints are studied. This year the ninth grade students stu-dents will have the opportunity of registering for one weekly class of Seminary. There is also a tenth grade class scheduled dally for 8:15. Such a complete schedule will undoubtedly un-doubtedly make all students registration regis-tration more convenient and satisfactory. satis-factory. Students look forward to the Seminary classes. Here amid pleasant pleas-ant surroundings they voluntarily meet and discuss with their friends vital religious problems. Principal E. Ray Gardner, with the assistance of Mr. Charles Sampson, will be ready to welcome the students back this fall. These teachers will be glad to consider any individual problems and offer all possible aid to Interested students. With the help and cooperation of the prospective prospec-tive pupils and patrons, the year of 1937-38 should be a banner year for the American Fork 8emlnary.
