May the spirit of giving, which is the Christmas spirit be with you as we celebrate the birth of Him who has given all. The American Fork Utah North Stake is growing in 0 Utahns Receive numbers and in activity as each month passes. We are crowded now with ten wards in only two buildings, but the Training School Branch and the Lehi Fifth Ward continue to graciously offer their buildings build-ings to house two of our wards. We will soon have breathing room as the building projects are completed. Our new stake center will be ready in February, Feb-ruary, and the Fourth-Fifteenth Fourth-Fifteenth Ward building will be completed in the spring. The stake has also purchased a share in two hundred additional addi-tional acres for the welfare farm. This land will go into production next year. Another exciting activity in our stake is the missionary program. As you probably know, we now have a pair of full-time missionaries living and working in our stake. We also have a missionary preparation prepar-ation program which is available availa-ble to all prospective missionaries. mission-aries. These missionary training train-ing classes are directed by recently returned missionaries from every ward. Again, we wish you a merry Christmas. We bear testimony that Jesus is the Christ and that He lives. We testify that service, given in the proper spirit, brings happiness. We know ". . . that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service ser-vice of your God." Sincerely, Leland F. Priday Alvin M. Fulkerson David R.

Lamar Johnson, Denver's assistant regional administrator for Wage and Hour in the Employment Standards Stan-dards Administration. Most of the back pay recovered reco-vered from employers was for under-payment of minimum wages and overtime compensation compen-sation under the Fair Labor Standards Act: 2,594 employees emplo-yees received $141,418 in back minimum wages and 2,834 received $401,142 in back overtime over-time pay. Johnson also noted that: Another 70 Utahns received $12,123 because they were discriminated dis-criminated against on the basis of sex in violation of the I Equal Pay Act. ,.:.:,..--. One employee had $1 ,000 restored res-tored from illegally garnished wages. 250 youth under 18 were employed em-ployed in violation of child labor laws. Of these youth, 54 were illegally employed in hazardous occupations as defined by the Secretary of Labor. The division helped three employees between 40 and 65 years of age- gain employment employ-ment and helped another get rehired under enforcement of the Age Discrimination in Employment Em-ployment Act. Christmas Bells byNidaHall Christmas bells are ringing The frost is in the air The blue sky is full of silver stars With moonbeams everywhere. When children get together With Christmas carols to sing The melody so sweet and clear Singing praises to our King. In memory of the Christ Child Who in the manger lay With angels singing softly As He slept upon the hay. Ring out loud bells, ring out And help to keep us free Take wickedness from off the earth And all iniquity. Ring out, loud bells, ring out And drive away all fear So little children may always sing With smiling faces dear. Children of the Lord in numbers numb-ers Shout and praise Him, Glorious Glor-ious King Telling of His many wonders. Hear their lovely voices ring. Hallelula sings the chorus Hallelula to His name Rise and Sing ye of all nations Til the Savior comes again. May peace reign on this troubled trou-bled world And joy and love increase May all our banners be unfurled un-furled When wars and hate will cease. During this same 15-month period, the Wage and Hour staff in Utah made 370 compliance com-pliance actions, with 289 disclosing dis-closing violations of these laws for 7,073 employees in the total of $1,238,052, with most of this sum in litigation for recovery.
