HI TEACHER Funeral Services For Mrs. Ann Lunt To COURSE OE STUDY AT THE SEMINARY The Nephi Seminary Has Total of 185 Students Enrolled A Three Year Course is Given. LeRoy Whitehead, principal of the Nephi Seminary was the main "speaker at tLe Nephi Kiwanis club meeting last Monday evening. Prof. Merrill, head ot the Church schools, was also in attendance and gave a short address. Judge Thos. H. Burton was In charge of the program. Principal Whitehead's talk Is herewith published: "It has been my pleasure in life to spend several happy hours with the Kiwanis Club in their banquets and meetings and I have found them to be iuoat energetic in every way. I have noticed particularly that they have lived up to their motto of being builders. You gentlemen are builders in the communities in which you live, as the civic needs of that community are made known, but you also have another organization ' in your community that has as its motThat organization to, "We Build." is attempting particularly to build character as It applies in the lives of the boys and girls of your community. That organization is the Seminary. Many of you have passed the splendid building here in Nephi and no doubt have wondered just what is carried on in that institution. What are your boys and girls learning as they come there each day to receive instruction? It is to answer those questions that I hare been asked here tonight. The Seminary is the outgrowth of three conditions which existed when the movement began and which still exist in such relief as to foster the growth of the work. 1. The need for the giving of a complete and scholarly treatment of religious education to students of High School grade. 2. The inability of the Church, in because of give this istruction to all of its young people through the medium ot schools in which secular as well as religious training may be given, and the inadvisability of being responsible for unnecessary duplication of the very effective work now being done by the state high school sys- - d The News, Vol. 13, No. 47. Tn ...i. . ID IIOIfEIR .. .. .... if Be Friday 2 P. M. Funeral services for Mrs. Ann Lunt, wife of Shedrlck Lunt, who died last Tuesday morning, will be held in the Juab Stake Tabernacle, Friday afternoon at 2 p. m. Mrs. Lunt was 78 years of age on June 12, 1929, and an early pioneer of this city. Complete data concerning the life of Mrs. Lunt will be published in next week's issue ot The V 1(17 I , ' tern. 3. The manifestly just and proper platform of the Constitution of the United States which provides that religion shall not be taught in the public schools. With these three conditions existing It is evident that whatever method of giving the needed religious training should be adopted It must be carried forward by an institution of recognized scholastic standing, of a private nature, closely associated with the High school but wholly separate institutionally, entirely free from any Infringement of the Constitution referred to. The Seminary, as it is now being operated, seems fully to meet these conditions. It is purely an institution of the Church, having no organic connection with the state school system. The expense of maintenance and operation is entirely borne by the Church. The housing and classroom facilities are provided by the Church, as is also the teacher. They are In no. way connected with the public school ownership or supervis- ion. . j KIWANIS BALLOTS The members of the Nephi Kiwanis club received a ballot, Wednesday, on which was printed the nomina tions for officers ot that eluo for the year' 1930.

Rutledge, were in Nephi, and met with a group of Nephi ladies relative to the establishing of a unit of the Auxiliary in this city. Mrs. Chester Foote, was made temporary chairman, and Irs. A. W. Howell, was elected temporary secretary. Mrs. Saxton explained what the Auxiliary was doing in the state and nation, and also outlined the plans for the coming year's work. She also showed the close cooperation between the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. ' Following Mrs. Sexton s address, it was decided to establish a unit in Nephi, and a membership campaign was soon under way, and since Friday a number of the Nephi ladies have signed the application tor a charter. Saturday evening, there will be a conjoint meeting of American Legion members and those eligible for membership in the American Legion Auxiliary. It is reported that there are already seventy-thre- e ladies in Nephi who are elegible for membership in the American Legion Aux iliary and a permanent organization will be effected at Saturday night's 74-2- DAY i'resiueut Hoover.

Mr. Garrett also reports that they have recently shipped four yearlings to Afton, Wyoming, and the purchaser is well pleased with the sheep. James Garrett and Sons hava only been raising Ramboulllet sheep for the past four years, and already iliey have brought some good advertising to this community, as a sheep breed ing center, and a continuation c.f the business should be both profitable to the community, and to the breeders. The same man Judged the rheep, at the Arizona state fair tbat was the judge at the Utah State Fair, and in commenting on the prize winning lamb stated: "Bring him again next year and you will make these fellows eyes pop out." Mammoth City Is Now Disincorporated Judge LeRoy H. Cox, who has been holding court in Price and Provo for the past week or ten days, came down to Nephi Wednesday and held a short term of court in the Fifth District court. The important case heard during the afternoon was the petition to disincorporate Mammoth City. The official canvass and returns of the vote held on November 5th having been filed by the Mammoth City council, and the canvass showed that 103 votes were cast for the proposition, and 118 votes against. The majority of the votes being in favor of diaincorporatlon, the court decreed and ordered that Mammotn City is hereby discontinued as a municipal corporation, and that none of its officials shall have or exercise any further power. It was also ordered by the court that all books, documents, records, and the corporate seal of Mammoth City be turned over to the county clerk for safe keeping.
