I'm not a romanticist, hence I haven't formulated this conclusion from the sight of traditional young lovers lov-ers aimlessly meandering about hand in hand among the bursting burst-ing buds and the buzzing bees, nor"" am I an astronomer who has scientifically calculated the advent of spring by the sun's crossing of the Equator. Rather, I'm just a plain ordinary citizen citi-zen of American Fork with just a plain ordinary sense of smell, which is all that is necessary to make the official proclamation. proclama-tion. Each year about this time with astounding regularity, there emanates em-anates from the fields south of American Fork a rich, sour, nauseating nau-seating odor, that to use a colorful col-orful expression, "is enough to gag a mag'jot.' I'm sure that travelers stopping stop-ping here must conclude that American Fork, pride of central Utah, Steel center of the West, is located on the edge of a vast cess pool. And perhaps they aren't too far wrong. . I am in no way contesting the right of farmers to use barnyard barn-yard manure to fertilize their fields.

Since this is something that has started within the last two or three years, and barnyard manure has been used even more extensively as a fer tilizer prior to this time, it must be that the present method ol handling is the cause. Perhaps our farmers can revert to past practice and so spare the citizens citi-zens of American Fork this yearly year-ly nuisance. Sincerely yours, Sherman R.

The 32 letters of the alphabet are rapidly learned by eager students Kenneth Bishop, Kevin Gordon, Jim Sorrelles, Johnny Jacobs. Each child in the class can write their own name, as well as learning many other Persian words. Most important aspect of learning is the wor'd brotherhood which Mrs. Salari teaches, emphasizing the worth of every individual. Harrington Third Graders Learn More Than Three R's in Classroom "Extra" The eager third grade students fortunate enough to have Mrs. Manijah Salari as their teacher have learned more than the basic ba-sic "Three R's" this year! Along with their regular school activities, these lucky children are learning first-hand the Persian Per-sian language and the culture of that beautiful country. Mrs. Salari was born in Tehran, Iran, and came to the United States following graduation from high school. She attended college In Nebraska and was then married and came to Utah to attend graduate grad-uate school at BYU. While working toward a Master's Mas-ter's Degree, Mrs. Salari also received a teaching certificate and began to teach in the Alpine School District. She taught second sec-ond grade at Harrington School last year. Since young children are always al-ways interested to -earn about new places and new languages, Mrs. Salari has generously shared shar-ed her knowledge of her native Iran. The children have been taught that each individual should be valued for his own worth as a person, not judged on the color of his skin or his religious beliefs. be-liefs. To the happy third graders, Iran is not just a far-away place on the map - it is their teacher's homeland - and a country, of interest in-terest and respect.'

This acceptance of differences in cultures cul-tures and countries will be valuable val-uable in helping the children to be understanding and tolerant when they are leaders of the next generation. Every time the class has a spare moment, Mrs. Salari teaches them a new word or two of Persian. Each child in the class can write their own name and several other words In Persian. Per-sian. Most of the students have written the 32 letter Persian alphabet, al-phabet, comparing the sounds which are formed with the sounds of the English alphabet. The children have seen a Persian Per-sian rug, jewelry and other interesting in-teresting objects from Iran which Mrs. Salari has brought to share with them. The students may never have the opportunity of visiting Iran, but they are aware of the people who live in that far-away land and tne contributions which Iran has made to the world. t ii fit MM OGDEN 1940 Wall Avenue Phon. 399-1171 LOGAN Walker Bank Building Phone 752-6310 SHU Lehi i Utah Cancer Drive Underway in Business Dist.
