Their yard has been dug down to the roots of the tree, large limbs have been sawed off and finally, the huge tree stump- about the size of a Volkswagen car- was hefted by heavy equipment and loaded on to a large truck. At last, access was finally provided for plumbers to repair the sewer lines, so that the large hole in the ground could be filled with soil.

In 1939 The Town of Orem took over the community commu-nity celebration, designated "Greater Orem Day" in observance of the town's twentieth year, as an incorporated incor-porated community. The thrust of the celebration turned to showcasing the outstanding fruits and vegetables veg-etables of the community in the form of a community fair to be held in early October. Also associated with the Orem Community Fair was the selection of an Orem Queen. According to the rules, "A queen and two attendants will be selected from each of the ten wards. They must be unmarried, 15 years of age or older and must be able to ride a horse, as several events are being planned by the Orem Riding Club, which will include the queens. They need not own a horse of their own, as the riding club will furnish them for these events." Jesse L. Smith was chairman chair-man of the queen committee.

The representative rep-resentative explained that she did not feel an urgency to run until there came a time when more women were becoming involved in politics, and there were "strident voices claiming to speak for the women of the world." Dayton looked for a woman candidate to support sup-port who would speak for families, and when one did not "step forward", Margaret made the decision to run for office herself. She said it is "a sacred honor" to serve in the Legislature, and credited her husband, Dr. Lynn Dayton, with successfully suc-cessfully campaigning for her by going door to door and speaking personally with citizens. Dayton asked members of the audience who had served in the military to stand, and noted that they had "blessed the lives of Americans" by preserving the nation's freedoms, including the opportunity to meet together, and the RUNNING ACROSS AMERICA Continued from front page and seen the atrocities themselves. They have interviewed more than 100 Tibetan refugees to learn more of the problems. In short as best can be summarized by Jackson and Dewaal, the Tibetan people suffer cruelly at the hands of the Chinese government, gov-ernment, which claims the country as part of its own. The government tortures and murders people whenever when-ever they see fit. The Chinese do not allow the Tibetans to speak their own language, worship how they please, have their own government gov-ernment or even fly their own flag. Jackson and Dewaal said the Chinese government sends forth half-truths and other propaganda prop-aganda about how the Tibetan people are treated well. That leads up to the Trails-America Run for Dignity and Human Rights. About two years ago, the founders planned a run across the U.S. to raise money and awareness of human rights abuses. Of course, for at least one organizer, he got more than what he planned for. "I hate running," Jackson said. "When I came up with this idea and planned it, it was for someone else." However, when it came to pulling it off, Jackson would not sit it out. Dewaal said, "It's hard being away from my wife and it's also so monotonous to run 15 miles a day through very lonely roads. But there's people who suffer suf-fer so much and when I Your Transmission SHOULD be tuned up once a year or 12,000 miles! SWF QSf SFMX With Transmission Trouble!

Dayton then spoke about two meetings that she had attended as a legislator that had affected her. One was a meeting in Washington, D.C. with other legislators and cabinet members. President George W. Bush spoke, and mentioned God, family, and prayer in his remarks. The president, she said, was "so open about his desire to be prayed for", and "unashamedly asked us to pray for him." The second meeting took place about a year ago in Salt Lake City. Dinesh D'Souza, from India, who is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and who served as a senior domestic policy analyst in the White House during the Reagan administration, spoke at the meeting about his book, What's So Great About America? Dayton shared ten of D'Souza's ideas about what makes America great. 1. America provides "an amazing life" for the "ordinary "ordi-nary guy", or common man. 2. There is more opportunity opportu-nity and social mobility in think about that, it keeps me going." The two self-described non-runners run 15 miles a day each and then sleep in the back of a pickup truck in the evening. They have two sponsors, who would rather stay anonymous, have provided some funds to help cover gas and food costs but they still describe the venture being done with a "shoe-string budget." "A lot of people didn't take us seriously when we started but now that we've run 800 miles, people are calling us to help," Jackson said. They have received donations dona-tions along the way. People of have stopped their cars to give them money and restaurants have given them free meals in various cities. Along the way, Dewaal and Jackson will speak at Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis or any other organization that they can to help people become aware of the problems prob-lems facing so many people in so many nations, especially espe-cially Tibet. When they reach Washington D.C. on August 9th, they will meet at the Lincoln Memorial with other charities for a human rights rally. The two left Utah County on Wednesday, starting out from BYU campus. The same place that stifled their protests in the past. The two organized a silent protest in 2001 when the Chinese Ambassador came to the campus and all they wanted to do was distribute dis-tribute a few hundred pamphlets pam-phlets they had printed up. v ' y V a CLUTCH REPLACEMENT One coupon per customer.

America has gone further fur-ther than any other society in establishing equality of rights. No country has expended more blood and treasure to get rid of the institution of slavery. There have been great efforts made to rid the nation of bigotry as well. 8. America has found a solution to the problem of religious and ethnic conflict by creating separate spheres of religion and government, gov-ernment, and by extending rights to individuals, rather than to religious or ethnic groups.

America has the kindest, kind-est, gentlest foreign policy of any country in history. This was illustrated in the recent war with Iraq, where great efforts were made to avoid the destruction of civilians, and extensive humanitarian efforts were made as well. 10. America is the freest and most virtuous nation on earth. Freedom will be used badly in a free society, but freedom also brings out the best in people as they opt for good when good is not the only thing available. Coerced virtues are not virtues at all, but just an outward semblance. America is far from perfect, but has the best life the world has to offer, and is worthy of the love and sacrifice sacri-fice of citizens. Paul Berrett, presidentelect president-elect of the Orem Golden K Kiwanis Club, acting on behalf of President Jack L. McClaskey, who was ill and excused from the meeting, asked members of the local clergy, attending the prayer dinner as guests, to give the club specific suggestions and input on what members can do to help the youth of the community. were disappointed at the school's stance toward the Chinese government. . The two runners keep a regularly updated website of their run with pictures. More importantly, their site, www.reliefalliance.org, is full of information about human rights abuses, especially espe-cially those in Tibet. 1 Life Business ' W 1 4tciauce TfeecU' tito r x jtk ? 3 " 0 |
