Steel Days Celebration Draws Plaudits As the 1968 Steel Days Celebration Cele-bration fades Into history, we take this opportunity to congratulate congrat-ulate Councilman Joseph B. Hanson, Han-son, general chairman of the celebration, and each member of the Steel Days Committee. We feel that our city needs a community celebration. Contrary to the opinion that American Fork has outgrown such a celebration, we feel that the support of the community shows that our residents res-idents want such an activity. This is a unifying vJvity, involving hundreds of committee members as work on the various events is planned and carried out. Several years ago, the Steel Days Celebration died an unnatural un-natural death, the victim of apathy and neglect. The new Steel Days image is strong, vibrant and very much alive- thanks to the support which is forthcoming from the American Fork City Council. We commend the council for their action in reactivating the Steel Days Celeb-ation. This celebration is a credit to the community, bringing many visitors vis-itors to participate in the Steel Days activities and adding new st A. U luster to American Fork's reputation rep-utation as the leading community of North Utah County. We extend the appreciation of the community to the 1968 committee com-mittee and look forward to the even bigger, better Steel Days Celebration now being planned for July 17, 18 and 19, 1969.
