Organized a chorus The "Harmonettes," consisting of 15 girls from the First Ward,, was recently organized under the direction of Miss Ferrell Madsen, ward chorister.

They are scheduled to sing in the American Fork Third Ward, December 18, where they will present a complete program. The reportoire of the chorus includes classical selections and the better known favorites as well tory. as religious music.

WllClttl nnd uhpnever P Wing All School teachers of the Alnine district are receiving in struction in first aid procedures to follow in the event of an atomic attack or disaster, according to Leo Hanson, assistant superintend In Lehi, high school teachers have already completed the two-ho- ur course, taught by the district school nurse, and elementary teachers will receive their in struction soon. Mr. Hanson reported that all teachers have been enthusiastic about the instruction they have received, since' it included the most recent information available from Red Crosi and Civilian Defense sources. He declared that parents should feel more secure, knowing that the teachers have this important information at hand. A second step in the preparation of the schools as far as civil de fense is concerned is also going ahead rapidly. It is the purchase of special emergency first aid kits. In some cases, children are contributing one cent each towards the purchase of this equipment. Each classroom will have one of the kits, which will include first aid supplies, sterile water and medical supplies. They will be sealed in compact metal cans and stored in the closet of each class room where they will be readily acessible in the event of an im- ergency. They will be labeled as to content and will carry the warning they are to be used only for emergency or disaster purposes. The schools already have first aid supplies for every-da- y use. Mr. Hanson said the teachers are receiving tfiliw medical supplies as they complete the defense course. Committes in each school have already sought out the safest place in each building where students could be taken in an air attack. The schools now have a number of programs which will fall nicely into the civil defense plan. All are expert on fire drills, and all teachers are well acquainted with the placement and use of fire extinguishers. Also, standard first aid courses are regularly taught in all high schools. Mr. Hanson declared that since the schools have the responsibility of hundreds of children, they owe it to patrons to guarantee the best possible protection for all children.

The 20 million dollars invested in the last 10 years in Utah is more than the company had invested in the state during the preceding 30 years. One of the problems of the telephone engineers in a period of such rapid growth is forecasting just where the growth will occur and how rapid it will be. Engineering a major telephone construction job to serve a new the subdivision, manufacturing needed cables, wire and other equipment, and fitting it into the present telephone service generally requires a period of from eighteen months to two years The engineers must estimate the possible growth of the subdivision so that there are enough facilities to meet the immediate and foreseeable demand. But at the same time no they must exercise care that more tlephone plants be installed than can be used, thus avoiding an Investment lying Idle. So, according to Mr. Strong, the problems of the telephone engineers in a time of such rapid obgrowth are very difficult. The is to prothe of company jective vide the kind of service customers want where and when they want it. The company, with Its ability to raise the necessary capital and secure the necessary equipment and supplies, is moving as rapidly as possible to accomplish this objective, said the manager. sired.

Considerable interest was shown in this election, as is evidenced by the number of candidates in the race, as well as the comparatively high number of ballots cast. A total vote of nearly 600 is considered high for a school election. This figure is even more significant in view of the unfavorable weather conditions on election day.
