Twelfth Ward Scouts Hold Court of Honor Scenery denoting an outdoor mountain setting provided the backdrop for the Boy Scout Court of HonoT for Troop 820, American Am-erican Fork Twelfth Ward, last week. The court of honor was the first to be held in the ward since it was divided and the first since the Court of Honors have been changed to being held on a ward basis. Eleven scouts and seven Blazer Blaz-er B boys and their leaders took part in the meeting. Skill awards and merit badges were given out by scout leaders as well as Blazer B awards. Special gifts were given two scouts for their excellent service ser-vice in money raising projects. Kim Hansen received first place and Bob Thompson, second. Dan Thomas, senior Patrol leader was in charge of presentation pre-sentation of the colors. George Fannin, district scout executive, Utah National Parks Council, was present along with Mike Davies, scoutmaster of Troop 820 and troop committeemen commit-teemen Soren Sabey, DelThomp-son, DelThomp-son, and Jim Gates. Mr. Sabey Sab-ey is also chairman of the District Dis-trict Scout Committee. A special thanks was given to the American Fork Nursery for the use of Christmas trees in the background scene. Floating Roof Keeps Water Supply Clean Reservoirs and city industrial indus-trial waste ponds are now being covered by plastic or rubber-coated roofs, manufactured manu-factured by the Firestone Coated Fabrics Co., Magnolia, Magno-lia, Ark. In addition to protecting drinking water from airborne air-borne contaminants and other debris, the roofs reduce evaporation evap-oration during the warmer months, retard or eliminate algae growth, and cut potential poten-tial maintenance costs due to clogging. At waste ponds and sewage sew-age tanks the roofs reduce air pollution by preventing most odors and other impurities impuri-ties from escaping into the atmosphere. Yoyo to 4 Million Dooinoco THE AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DEC. 21, 1972 In an era when Christmas toys are stacked almost as tall as the tree, only antique collectors and a few nostalgic grandparents remember when Santa's standard stan-dard surprises were rag dolls and whittled wooden trucks. Toys are a $4 bMlion business in America today (with doll sales representing 18 percent of that figure), in which more than 900 manufacturers compete to palm off products which, according to two University of Utah psychologists, psycholo-gists, are often inferior and unsafe. un-safe. Professors Donna M. Gelfand and Donald P. Hartmann have examined scores of toys in their research on children's imitation of aggressive play. They've found that exposure to aggression aggres-sion will cause youngsters to play aggressively when allowed to choose their own activfies and they've also discovered that many toys on the shelves today encourage aggression, sexism and greed. "In a toy department tour this season, I found that a third to a half of the merchandise consisted consi-sted of aggressive toys (war games or guns), racing cars and dolls," comments Dr. Hardmann. "Not uncommon were products like 'rock'em, sock'em robots,' who were 'turned 'tur-ned on' to annihilate each other." Toys that pervert the young psyche are no less prevalent than items which destroy the physique, according to Dr. Gelfand. Gel-fand. She says that despite the 1970 Toy Safety Act which authorizes autho-rizes the Food and Drug Administration Admi-nistration to clamp down on unsafe un-safe toys, the U.S. Public Health Service reports that 700,000 children chil-dren are injured annually in accidents ac-cidents caused by toys (excluding (exclud-ing bicycles and playground equipment). A number of toys banned by the FDA have not been removed from the shelves," she says. "Parents must inform themselves, themsel-ves, through such publications as Consumer Reports, about dangerous dan-gerous toys. Everyone shoull know enough to a"oid uninspected uninspec-ted electrical toys and toys made of glass or plastic that shatters. But how many parents realize that certain cap guns trigger a noise equal to that of a jackham-mer jackham-mer or that there are toys that can blind children and pierce their skulls? Dr. Gelfand asks. Professor Gelfant says toys play a vital role in the child's development. "They give children chil-dren a chance to practice the roles they'll play as adults in a protected environment," she says. Dr. Hartmann believes toys serve three functions in the growth process: "They are a primary socialization tool by which kids learn skills and social roles, they are sources of enter- TQMHTY FOOD IS A MEMBER OF AMERICA'S LARGEST LEASING SYSTEM AUTHORIZED LEASING SYSTEM Leases Tailored to Your Needs 6 Months -1 Year - 2 Years or Longer Auto and Truck Leasing is Popular and Desirable for Many People and Businesses SEE US TODAY! TQI-GITY FORD American Fork Phoner 796-2644 - 756-3586 - 374-6734 tainment, and they are a primary pri-mary vehicle for learning how to interact with other children." He questions whether youngsters young-sters need expensive, sophisticated sophisti-cated toys in order to properly develop socialization skills. "In a sense you could socialize over a mud puddle as well as electric train," says Dr. Hartmann, "but most parents prefer the train." The Utah psychologists, both of them parents, buy toys which encourage creativity and inventiveness inven-tiveness (arts and crafts supplies), sup-plies), learning (seed sprouting kits, terrariums, pets), cooperation coopera-tion rather than aggression (guns are taboo for this reason, and 'fun for the whole family' games are ideal), and individually individual-ly rather than sexism (why must girls always receive nurse outfits and boys be given chemistry sets?). The items need not be costly, claim the U researchers. Roll ends from newspaper backshops can stimulate budding artists, and pre schoolers are fascinated by chalkboards and measuring spoons. "It's crucial that you help children chil-dren develop a keen sense of cynicism with regard to television televi-sion advertisements," stresses Dr. Gelfand. "In large measure, ads determine children's toy preferences, and they must learn that most toys are not as glamorous glamo-rous as depicted on TV." Drs. Gelfand and Hartman offer a checklist for wise toy shopping next Christmas: Is the toy safe? Is it durable? Will it be intact the day after Christmas? Is the toy psychologically desirable? Does it teach your child the skills you want him to learn? Is it appropriate for his age? Does the toy appeal to the child? Is it fun? Dr. Hartmann adds a final word of advice: If you make the most of your toy purchases at Christmas, try spreading the expenditures ex-penditures out over the entire year. "If you annual toy budget is $100, for example, spend only $25 during the holidays," he suggests. sug-gests. "This will discourage the 'gimme, gimme' attitude characteristic charac-teristic of kids at Christmas time, and help them more fully appreciate the toys they receive." Am. Fork DUP Camp Holds Christmas Party The American Fork Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers held their Christmas Party at the home of Gloria Scoville on Monday, December 18. Captain Alice Lund presided and Miriam Park offered the prayer. Mrs. Scoville was in charge of the program. Utah County Captain Velma Comer of Lehi was welcomed as a special guest. Ed Scoville sang several favorite fav-orite Christmas Carols accompanying accomp-anying himself on the guitar. Lynette Morrill played "O Holy Night" on the organ followed by Nida Hall reading an original Christmas Story written by her son. Rosemarie Chipman rendered some Christmas music on her violin accompanied by Joyce Allison on the piano. The following children sang Christmas carols accompanied by Mr. Scoville on the guitar. They were: Steven Scoville, Terry Chatter, Sharon Bowman, Shanna Morrill, Carl, Craig, Steven and Sandra Durfey. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostesses, Mary Chipman, Thelma Crandall, Virginia Vir-ginia Warnick and Miriam Park. Passenger business on European trains is declining just as in the U.S. Railroads there say they spend $1.20 for every dollar taken in maintaining service.
