Show Universal Microfilming Box 2603 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101 Jaycees Begin Community Project in Fairyland Parti at Training School ; Fairyland Park at Utah State Training School will take on new luster and added years of usefulness use-fulness as a result of a community com-munity service of the American Fork Jaycees. Looking about the community for a suitable project which would contribute to the community as a whole and for a group which would benefit from a helping hand, Jay-cee Jay-cee officers Jerry Seals, president, presi-dent, and Jed Wiscombe, project chairman, determined that the efforts of the group could best be directed toward renovation of Fairyland Park. The park was completed some 12-15 years ago through the generosity gen-erosity of many of the steel workers at Geneva Works, U.S. Steel. The men labored under the direction of Myron Strate, who served as general chairman of the project which would provide pro-vide a suitable play park for the children "who would always remain re-main children." Included in features fea-tures of the park are the biggest pumpkin in Utah Valley, a gigantic gigan-tic Pied Piper who lures visitors visi-tors inside the spacious grounds, Jack in the Beanstalk, the Toon-erville Toon-erville station, Paul Bunyon's Log, which houses the miniature railroad, a full size merry go round from old Saltair, a tram, fun house, a miniature ferris wheel and several small structures struc-tures which were once attractive candy houses, the three bear's house and other inviting attractions. attrac-tions. A large fountain was also one of the major features of the park. Time has taken its toll of the construction, however, and many of the figures which were delightful de-lightful additions have been damaged dam-aged through weathering, as well as vandalism. UtahStateTraining School officials have had the matter mat-ter of renovation or restoration of the park under study for some time, attempting to determine the best use of remaining facilities both for residents of the school and community visitors. The emphasis em-phasis is no longer on entertaining entertain-ing the residents, but on providing provid-ing learning experiences on both an academic and vocational level which would be challenging as well as satisfying.

The envelope has been missing since September 2, according ac-cording to Ron Bate, owner.
