In fact, a survey of 2,200 students showed that they ranked writing skills at the top of their "worst subject" list. Teachers are seeking ways of making writing more interesting to students. It's one subject where students learn by doing. In Illinois, some teachers had students ask their seventh-grad- e a group of preschool children what they'd like to see in books that were especially written for them. Then each seventh-grade- r was to write a children's book for the youngster he or she had It was a good interviewed. experience for several reasons. This was the first chance some of had to write the seventh-grader- s audience. They for a to know four- - and It was an experience in recite it. Let's face it: Writing skills are basic to many kinds of success. Parents, too, can perform a valuable service to their children by encouraging them to write. When you prompt your daughter letter to Aunt to write a thank-yo- u Polly for that print dress, you're not just nudging the youngster into meeting an obligation of etiquette-you'- re providing her with a learning experience. Urge your son to write his own comic strip when he complains that the ones he's reading don't have enough action in them. Persuade your children to correspond with the cousin who lives in California, the best friend who moved away to Michigan, or the kids they met last summer when the family went to Dallas for vacation. If your children do these things, they may not go on to become Hemingways. But the practice will help them develop a skill they may desperately need someday. the board approve participation.

Colonel Conner held no high regard for Brigham's flock and hostile relations soon arose between his troops and the Mormon civilians. When the soliders berated the Mormons for "stupidity" the Saints paid them back in their own coin; declaring that if they chose they could steal the Fort's cannon and bell from under the nose of its guard. With the soldiers taunts growing more unbearable daily, a group of reckless young Saints sneaked into the Fort one rainy night, attached a tow rope to the cannon, and left one of their number concealed in camp. As soon as the sentry had passed on his tour of inspection, the lurking prankster muffled the bell's clapper and gave the prearranged signal; his confederates, waiting outside, began pulling on the rope, and the cannon left the Fort. "Discovery of the theft brought great hue and cry and rewards posted for the names of the culprits-wh- o, only then, were beginning to realize the enormity of their offense, as. well as the difficulty of concealing a cannon and bell, Until a better solution could be found the equipment was secreted in a barn and covered with hay. Time passed. Came 1877, and the little Dixie town of Leeds was bringing to completion a new meeting house. But, as yet, there n was not bell. Seth Pixton, from Leeds chanced to make a trip to Salt Lake and in the course of a conversation mentioned the new meeting house and its lack of a bell, whereupon, one of his listeners possibly one of the related original pranksters-h- ad the foregoing story and added, "if you'll take that damned bell to Dixie, it's yours." "Hiding the bell in a sack of grain Pixton had it transported to Leeds; and with completion of the church in 1878,' the bell was formally installed, Fifty years later, in 1929, Leeds built a new chapel and wished to. furnish it with a new bell. On this occasion, no difficulty attended its procural. Advised of the impending change, the owner of a pioneer Museum at Cove Fort eagerly provided the church with a fine new bell. All he asked in exchange was the Old Camp which now Floyed heirloom, occupies an honored place in the -- Fort's collection of Beaver, Utah Subjects) The senior seminary students of Beaver Stake will be selling tickets for the BYU Young Ambassadors show on Monday afternoon March 13th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Tuesday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. They will try to visit every home in the Stake but if they miss you, contact any senior seminary student.

The following story is told concerning the church bell in that community. "Originally attached to a cannon carriage, the bell had come to Deseret with Johnston's Army and throughout the life of Camp Floyd had been used to The little Mormon village of Leeds is an outgrowth of Harris-burg- , Washington County, Utah. The organization of the town took place December 1st, 1867 when the John S. Harris and Richard Ashby families settled there. After spending the winter in a tent, the Ashbys built a log cabin and in the Spring of 1868, their daughter Katie was born, -t- he first white child to see the light of day in the new settlement. The town was first called Bennington in honor of Bennington Strigham presiding Elder, but early in 1869, the growing village was renamed Leeds, after the town in England where Bishop Stringham had formaly labored as a missionary. Several years after the founding of Harrisburg, a diversion dam was constructed on Quail Creek which later supplied an abundance of water for the town of Leeds. The new settlement prospered, and when Andrew Jensen, L.D.S. Church Historian, visited the community in 1892, he noted that it occupied a pleasant situation "and is a prosperous place from a financial point of view." The people, he said were better off as a whole than any of their Dixie Neighbors." This was probably brought about by the fact that the mining town of Silver Reef was less than two miles away and during the boom days every available pound of farm produce and meat found a ready market, along with every cask of wine from her vineyards, which brought top prices from the miners. Even after the miners and mills of Silver Reef had closed, the agricultural town of Leeds was still prosperous. The abandoned Catholic Church at Silver Reef was moved to Leeds and converted into a combination dance hall and threatre and many small stock companies enroute from Salt Lake City to St. George played a one, two or three night engagement there which ranged from comedy to drama and sometimes concerts. The early citizenry of Leeds was comprised mostly of McMullins, Angells and Stirlings, but President Brigham Young owned a three and a half acre water right at the edge of Leeds and here maintained a home for his wife Harriet. She was one of the town's first school teachers and Oscar, son of Brigham and Harriet, was the town's first blacksmith.
