For instance, The Utah Foundation jidicates that business is moving to the suburbs around Salt Lake City (See Story Front Page). According to the Foundation between 1967 and 1972 business activity in Salt Lake City proper increased by 48 percent but business activity in the area of Salt Lake County excluding the city increased by 115 percent. The popular old song that asks "how you gonna keep 'em down on the farm" is out of date it seems. Where once the influx of people was from the country to the big lights of the city, the federal government seems now to be pulling its hair out in attempts to persuade big business and the ordinary citizens to take an active interest in large cities. More and more news stories report declining enrollments in city schools while suburbs are exploding with increased population. The desire for the clean uncluttered environment found in the country will attract more and more people maybe too many. Oregon, for example, has openly displayed its distress at the number of California natives moving into the state and buying up valuable property. On the local scene, Tremonton and Box Elder County are liable to see a smaller but similar growth. With the opening of freeway between this city and points south, more and more Ogden and Salt Lake City residents will be tempted to move to the country. Predictions that someday the Wasatch Front will consist of one elongated city from Salt Lake to Tremonton don't seem very far fetched now. The number of new homes dotting the highway sides are growing evidence. Certainly the area along the Wasatch Front will be some of the most expensive property in Utah. The expansion will be good in someways as it increases the value of property and the market for local businessmen. But it will also bring with it an increased need for services such as water, sewage, homes, and hospitals. As well as proper city planning. It's something to think about.

Notable among these are: children exhibiting interest making well reasoned inferences based on their observations, and applying their inforacquired previously mation. The music program ts an exciting, fresh, and new approach to the teaching of music in the elementary grades. The program, entitled "Threshold to Music" by Miry Helen Richards, is being enjoyed by the youngest to the oldest pupil and in addition is producing satisfying results. Through this fantastic program, the child is first introduced to the exciting world of music. It quickly then builds a wholesome attitude toward music by providing a great variety of valid musical experiences, and develops significant reading skills as well. Charts have been prepared which not only hold the attention of the children, but in addition, offer many challenges. Continued Pg 5 The American educational scene is currently marked by changes in programs and by innovations that seek to establish totally new programs. The two words "change" and "innovation" have interesting meanings, and they mean interestingly different things. The word change is related to the word "exchange." It connotes the idea of making something different in one or maybe two particulars, but not converting to something totally new. Innovation on the other hand does mean the introduction of something wholly new. With the completion of a newly remodeled building, we sought new ways of accommodating the educational needs of the students. One obvious change was correlated with the underway this afternoon when the Box Elder County Board of Education and the Box Elder Education Association meet to begin talks for the 1973-7- 4 school year. The two groups will meet at 3 p.m. in the Northern Utah Uni Serv office, Brigham City.

Long hair and all that I mean look at the way the people down in the Weber School district have been carrying on over the dress standards. Things really haven't changed all that much even in the relatively short time since I was a kid a couple of years ago. Just take a minute and think back to some of the crazy styles of the past Back about 1964 there was this thing going around where everybody had to have large muscular ankles. I mean there were guys going around with ankles that were bigger around than their biceps. Ask someone who was going Advertise In Your Hometown Paper 1 tf rl $Jv3 r JH i to get your foot crazy styles. Take the fifof thick Adlers ties for instance. That was size shoe.

Oh ya, it was important that the outside pair of Adlers you know the ones you could see-w- ere either bright red or green to match your shirt The final thing was to make sure that there was at least eight inches , of Adler showing between the bottom of your levis and the top of your shoe. Anyone who could still walk after all this was accomplished was right in style. There was another crazy thing we did then. For some strange reason it was decided that wearing just one shirt was- to high school at that time. n't enough. Don't ask me who He'll remember. Everybody decided.

Then, since nobody really had muscular lookyou could button the shirt about ing ankles any way, the trick half way up on the outside rewas to first put on a thick pair vealing the shirt underneath. of Adler socks. Then to get That was about the time that' that muscular look the guys dickeys came into style. It doesn't matter how far you would force another pair of Adlers over the first.

It wasn't what they wore so much in those days as how they wore it The style was to see how low you could wear your levis on your hips without get-tiarrested for indecent exposure or having them drop to your knees when youtookadeep breath. That style had its critics too. If Miss Ruby Johnson, the infamous Bear River High school English teacher were still alive she could tell you. The story goes that she once drug an unwilling student down to the principals office when he refused to forsake style for authority. Looking back its plain to see how momentary such fads really are. Those people who get excited about todays abbreviated styles can take a little comfort in that thought. Meanwhile I'm going to enjoy myself while I've got the chance.

Frowning on various suggested forms of retaliation, King explained that NFO will not be a party to violence or destruction. "If members insist on this type of thing, they do it on their own. It is in no way a part of our organization," he said. Proselyting new membership, the collection of past dues and enacting a proposed loan program along with the employment of several approved methods of demonstrating and influencing public opinion were advocated to help alleviate the present crisis. County units are expected to become ultra active in achieving desired goals.
