This is just to say "Thank You' to the P T A officers of the Juab High School for the P T A meet ing held last Wednesday. We were very happy to hear your plans for the future of the school and its students. It is evid ent that the faculty, the school board, the Superintendent and principal are striving for improvement in our schools. They have the students' interest at heart, Now is the time for parents to cooperate with them and let them know we are interested in these same pupils after all, they be long to us. We are glad we were among the dozen that attended the meeting to hear their plans and to the other dozens that did not attend, we would like to say: Be present at future meetings. Let's be as interested in our children as their teachers are. SAnna G. Ostler. reg Those two letters are fine . . we always like to get Letters To The Editor they give our readers a different point of view and maybe give them something new to be thinking about. With regard to Mrs. Ostler's PTA letter, we feel that each of us should take a lot of interest in PTA and such organizations, but there are only 24 hours in each day and seven days in each week and all of us can't be to all the places at once. We appreciate the letter of Jacob Coleman regarding the Old Timers party last Saturday night . . it's genuine praise for the fine work of the committees heading this fine annual event. Our hope is that this organization will grow in their annual get together and that it will take its rightful place as a highlight of the autumn season. m. Another thing we like about letters like those above is that it relieves to a certain extent our necessity of thinking of something to go in the column . . send us a few more week to week. We accept reg Shall we say "We Dare You" That's a good way to start an argument . . but here goes . . . We dare you to go up or down, east or west, north or south along any street in Nephi and be proud of its condition. . . we must exclude that street between main and first east on second south on the north side. Other than that there may be a few certain areas that one could truly be proud of, but by and large there's too big a collection of noxious weeds to make anyone feel proud . It . . is the responsibility of the pro- perty owner to clear and care for the area in front of his premises to the center of the street . . let's you and I and you and you all the rest of us take a couple of hours before breakfast some of these mornings and clear them up Continued on Page Five Nephi Local News Items Mayor C.
