Young roots Today's AF Youth Council has roots In the city's past By Betty G. Spencer The organization of the American Ameri-can Fork Youth Council and the Youth Court has received well-earned well-earned acclaim. The two groups have been well directed and well oriented.

Bruce Bo wen, senior class president at American Fork High School, served as executive secretary. secre-tary.
