Farmers were Invited to a strike meeting last night to hear details concerning the growing strike movement across the US. School Talk Lef fere To Editor thing." That's a statement sometimes heard by policemen, juvenile judges and school Santa Claus is an ingenious old fellow.. .we all know r the saw an example of it first-han- d that. But other day when the jolly old elf made his premiere visit to Tremonton. After sitting for about an hour, patiently listening to the wants and woes of a string of eager-eyeyoungsters, one sweet young girl informed Santa she wants a pair of slippers for Christmas. "What's your size?" Santa quizzed. The young miss confessed she didn't know and seemed concerned as to how Santa would produce the slippers in a size to fit. Santa saved the day when he suggested that the youngster leave one foot hanging out of the quilts Christmas Eve so he could try the slipper on to insure a proper fit. The youngster hopped off Santa's lap with a grin and Santa gave a sigh of relief. I suspect the little miss will make sure the foot protrudes from the sheets on Christmas Eve. Star-Gazis one of those proponents of shopping at home, but even I'll admit that it sometimes has its drawbacks. I came out of a local store Saturday loaded down like a pack mule with Christmas booty for Santa's sleigh when to the stomach, Mrs. Star-Gazgave me a stiff-arpushing me back around the corner. "Junior's coming down the sidewalk," she screeched. Panic gripped me. What could be worse than to be d with a sack full of unexplainable caught Christmas loot. Like a criminal going over the prison wall as the siren sounds, I searched for a place to hide. I even considered throwing my packages into some other shopper's arms and simply walking away. By now my palms were sweating and I'd recovered had knocked out of me the breath that Mrs. Star-Gazwhen she shoved me back against the building. "Check again," I told her. "Maybe he turned the Star-Gaze- principals. Let's examine the statement of George's Dad: "I give him everything." What did he really mean by that? Did he mean he bought George the most expensive skateboard at the store when he scored three touchdowns in a Little League game? Did he mean he gave George six dollars when he got six "A's" on his last report card? Or did he mean he bought George tickets to a concert by his favorite musical group when the boy was elected studentbody vice president? If those ARE the kinds of things Dad meant, then he should consider some information from researchers. They indicate that' the most effective rewards parents can give their youngsters are the ones. It's possible for parents to forget that the best thanks in life are free. This price-tasociety can blind us to the simple truth that young people place a high value on getting some sign of approval from Mom or Dad. It may be a smile, a show of excitement about some accomplishment, a handshake or the simple statement, "atta way!" One thing more from the researchers: If your child does, do something worth some kind of praise, give praise now. Rewards may not have much effect on a child if they're delayed. So maybe you won't want to wait until Christmas to give your child a reward for. something he or she has done. Remember this when considering your gift: If you're trying to think of something to give a child who has "everything", give that kid a pat on the back arid an "I'm proud of you." d "non-materia- l" g Rosldont Fools Wator Systom Plcturo Was Tainted TfaOIko DInn)o)(o)l,l(olD By Leonard F.

He said that he rarely sees the parents of his students at an open house or parent teacher conference. He believes that it would be a waste of his time to write the performance requirements for his students because his students don't care and parents of his students would never ask for it. I was disappointed to hear this teacher express this sentiment, but I could appreciate his feelings in the matter. Many parents of high school students don't care what the schools are trying to do. They do not enjoy the teen years of their teenager does or says. That doesn't mean to ignore it, but handle it slowly - calmly and with total dignity. I believe that the reason parents don't come to the high school is because they don't feel welcome. I believe that parents are basically afraid of high school teachers. This may be due to several reasons. Maybe the parents had some - experiences where they felt intimidated by their teenager, by being told to not come to the high school because it would cause the student to be teased by hjsjeejgi, W&alsg have to admit that there are students and parents who just don't care. glad when he is out of his teens.

If parents would just realize that teenagers respond best children and have been heard to say, "I sure will be and partners are invited to attend.

Luckily, Junior had done a 180 degree turn and was walking back up the sidewalk in the opposite direction.

The following amounts were expended in the following Water Resources was not correct. The paragraph indicated that Honeyville has an excellent water supply, but most of the existing distribution system was installed in 1911 and is in poor condition. Many of the old lines are too small to meet the demand of Honeyville's increasing population. This simply is not the case. The original water system was installed in the year 1921 but has been updated many times since. A grand total of $107,688.94 has been expended since 1911 to update the system. Does that sound like the system is outdated? The first update was made in 1925 when the Madsenville water main extension was installed at a cost of $8,174 and all old water mains were renewed at a cost of $4,776. It was updated again in 1932 at a cost of $829 and 1935 another $505 was spent on the system. The year 1936 was the year Honeyville started a complete updating of water works. From 1936 to 1938 a total of $48,218 was spent updating the system. The system was updated again in 1958 and 1959 with extensions and improvements costing $1,302. In 1961 above, they just want those years out of the way as fast as possible. I am not going to accept that as a majority view. I can't blame my high school teacher friend for being a bit discouraged, but I am still optimistic. I have never seen so many good families, good parents, and good teachers in any area of the United States as we have in Box Elder County and I think we all care about the welfare of children. We can do a better job of communicating with each other, and that is the main reason for our current emphasis on performance curriculum and positive Coop Meeting Slated The annual member-stockholdmeeting of paragraph in a news release from the Division of A indicated As a well was added water supply costing Editor: m er jifoite movie iNfl UnivtfUl Mmm ThrricolorPMiwttin P( i Drlng this complete 'ad and receive 50 cents discount on purchase of any ticket for STOITE BAmEX TREMONTON, UTAH MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION "SWASHBUCKLER" ft 2 i |
