Show School and Horn by Dr. Daryl J. McCarty Executive Secretary Utah Education Association This column may solve one of the most aggravating problems that Americans encounter every year at this time - living up to the New Year's resolutions we make. One reason we don't keep faith with our resolutions is that we write them, don't show them to anyone else, and consequently don't face the jibes of friends and family when those New Year's promises are forgotten. So the following are my own resolutions, for all the world to see: 1. 1 will seek, share and savor a memorable experience with my child at least once a week. 2. I will spend at least as much time with my child as I spend with my books. 3. 1 will join my child in at least one good cause. 4. 1 will listen more intently to my child. 5. I will permit my chid to face the consequences of wise and unwise acts. 6. 1 will love my child enough to say "no" at the proper times. 7. I will live up to my end of the unwritten partnership contract that I have with my child's teacher - a partnership dedicated to helping, inspiring and prodding my child along the path to excellence. 8. I will learn new things myself, thereby showing my children that education is a process that should never end. 9. 1 will seek ways to give my child responsibilities. 10. 1 will say I love my child, show that I love my child, and then do my best to prove it. Globetrotters Slate S.L Appearance It's unusual to arrive at a basketball game and find the entire audience in hysterics--unusual unless the home team is the Harlem Globetrotters. Over the past 50 years, the Globetrotters have become synonymous with basketball magic and their brand of on-court on-court antics has become an American tradition--a tradition tradi-tion enjoyed by the people of over 90 countries where the magicians of basketball have performed. In this their 51st season, the Globetrotters will travel over 75,000 miles, bringing them even more intimate contact with the world's funny bone. As part of that 75,000 mile trek, the Trotters and their variety of half-time attractions, attrac-tions, will be in Salt Lake City on January 17 for a 7:30 p.m. game at the Salt Palace. Tickets for the Salt Lake game are $3.50, $5.00, and $6.00 and are available at the Salt Palace Box Office and at all ZCMI stores. "There is no question that today the Globetrotters are the world's greatest family entertainment," en-tertainment," says Globetrotter Globet-rotter president Stan Greeson. And from the attendance records set by the Trotters in all parts of the world, there seems to be no one who can argue the claim. The Globetrotters have to hr hEc U P0 I TREE LIGHTS. Have you replaced or repaired frayed Christmas tree light cords and tightened loose plug-cord connections? connec-tions? Have you investigated newer lights that burn cooler and safe-, and use less electricity than some of the older ones7 Test your lights before mounting them on your tree or house. Many lights for indoor use on trees are rated 7 watts each, and no more than 85 such lights should be connected to a single outlet. The new pinpoint "mini" lights use very low wattages and it is unlikely that the average homeowner could get enough on a tree to overload a circuit. "OCTOPUS" OUTLETS. Have you any of those "octopus" outlets around the house... the ones with too many appliances plugged into one circuit? Never overload electrical elec-trical circuits; use proper size fuses. Overloaded Over-loaded circuits are a fire hazard. OUTDOOR LIGHTS. Have you checked your outdoor holiday lighting cords to make sure they are "outdoor rated," in good condition, and are properly protected from weather (especially where cords may be plugged together)? Are you careful not to stand on wet ground when rigging and testing them if they are plugged in? Most outdoor lights are rated 10 watts; the maximum number of such lights connected to a single outlet is 50. UL SAFETY SEAL. Do your lighted decorations decora-tions and cords all carry the Underwriters Laboratory UL safety seal? Make sure the UL is inside a circle. .not a square. Have you checked that moving Santas and other lighted Christmas decorations are properly grounded? Have you briefed your family on turning off Christmas tree lights when you leave home? (If you want to leave the house lighted when you're away, it's safer to do it with other lighting.) Reddy says: Have a happy and sale holiday season... and use the electricity you need... but need what you use! QOflgllteJ their credit the record for the largest crowd ever to watch an outdoor basketball game for an appearance in Berlin in 1951 drew over 75,000 people. More recently they set the indoor in-door attendance record when more than 30,000 fans welcomed wel-comed the Trotters to the Louisiana Superdome. Who, other than the Harlem Globetrotters, could set worldwide world-wide atteandance records and be welcomed as the home team in 94 countries? Mountainville DUP Camp Molds Christmas Party The D.U.P. Christmas party of the Mountainville Camp at Alpine held their Christmas party at the home of Bertha Heaton of Alpine. A hot lunch was served with all the trimmings trim-mings and a lovely dessert to 22 members. A regular meeting was conducted con-ducted by Captain Ethelyn Barnett. The opening prayer and blessing on the food was given by Alice Farnsworth. Christmas songs were conducted con-ducted by Bertha Ingram. Roseafton Cesario, Class leader, lead-er, gave a very interesting and enjoyable lesson entitled unpublished un-published Pioneer stories. More Christmas songs were sung and the closing prayer was by Thelma Newman. The fun time of exchanging Christmas Christ-mas gifts was conducted by second vice captain Bertha Adams. The Mountainville Camp of the Daughters of the Pioneers wish all North Utah County daughters a happy and prosperous New Years. AMERICAN FORK CITIZEN WEDNESDAY.
