These county officers have served under the chairman ship of Tom Reece, Mr. Melville and Mr. Winters. Senator Frank E. Moss was the keynote speaker for the convention and called on Democrats to rededicate themselves to the Democratic Party. "The Democratic Party has a mission to appeal to the mind and heart of the American people. Our mission never changes," said Senator Moss, "we are al ways trying to preserve freedom and individual opportunity. Let us renew our faith and press for ward as we take our candidates to the people in 1970." Proclaiming the philosophy of the Democratic Party, Senator Moss emphasized the position of the party as follows: "The De mocratic party has been the li beral party of progress down through the years. Always mov ing forward, always concerned with the common people." Continuing, Senator Moss commended those people who involve themselves in political activity. "Those people who are active in politics, who involve themselves with politics, who articulate the issues before the people, are the last best hope of earth. If the time should ever come when this individual interest should wither, we would no longer have a democracy." he exclaimed. The Senator paid tribute to former President Dwight D.' Eisenhower, noting that although the late president was of a differing political affiliate, Democrats are Americans first and partisans second. He cited the late president as a great American who had served with brilliance as a military leader before he was called to the high office of president. He also recalled the former president's warning that this country should not be dominated by the military. Although his military record was brilliant, the late president urged civilian control over the military and the corporate suppliers who make money in supplying them. The Senator labeled the Nixon administration "a quiet time" in American politics. He took issue with the action of Nixon, saying, "The only thing he has decided is the ABM and I think he was h) "There are still pickets of the impoverished, the' hungry and the disadvantaged," he declared. "There is still much left to do. If we want to get it done, the Democratic Party must do!" Senator Moss challenged the delegates to overcome the poll tical reverses of 1968 and pre pare themselves for the coming congressional elections. He urged them to be strong and valiant, working for the restora tion of the Democratic party on the community, county, state and national level. State Senator Ernest H. Dean was chairman of the convention, conducting business of the ses sion with dispatch. Dean blasted the Incumbent Republican administration as a "Me, too" government, continuing the programs launched by the democrats. Opening the convention to nominations for county officers, Mr, Dean recognized the follow ing delegates for nominating and seconding speeches: Gerald Wilde nominated Harvard R. Hinton as Utah County chairman, with Byron L. McFarlance presenting the seconding speech; Reta Utah County outEgbert was nominated by WinS. chairman Wayne going ters, with Mildred Dean making the seconding speech; David Stringer, treasurer, was no- vlce-chairla- H L.

State officers spoke briefly to the delegates at the Saturday convention as did Gaylen Ross, a candidate for the post of chairman of the Utah State Democra- tic Party, and Wayne Black, Na- tional Committeeman from Utah. Each of the county officers pledged their support to the Democratic cause and praised the leadership of the county organization under the direction of outgoing chairman Wayne S. Winters. Mr. Winters was also praised by Senator Moss, who noted that the Utah County De mocratic organization was one of the best in the state. The importance of the young Democrats in revitalizing the party was emphasized by several of the speakers, with Les Brown responding for the young people. Mr. Winters also urged the support of county Democrats of the Jefferson-Jaekso- n dinner, to be held in Salt Lake City April 19.

Dear Editor: I would like to represent the community in expressing appreciation to Glen Smith for the uplifting influence that he has had on our youth. He has an unusual drive which propels him into seemingly impossible projects. This one year, he has directed three major productions: Ben Hur, Wizard of Oz, and Music Man; and these have been done in addition to all of the regular classwork of his department, one-a- ct plays, dramatic competition, etc. In addition to this outstanding drive, his dynamic personality draws the students to him and gives them the desire to do their best for him, and his deeply religious nature teaches them practical religion. Perhaps most people are not aware of these things. Each practice of a pro duction is begun with prayer, and each presentation is prefaced by a prayer circle in which all a thrilling and participate humbling moment. The desire to help young people has come with him since he was a youth himself. When he was in high school, he had the deacons meet at his home once a week where they read scripture and sang together. Then occasionally, he had them sing for church meetings. In this last musical, as well as former ones, it would have been easier for him to have had a single cast with which to work, but, instead, he chose a double cast, doubling the responsibility just so that more students could have an opportunity for that experience. And what does it do for young people to be able to participate in these productions? 1. It helps them develop certainly the most important ingredient of success in life. I have read, "Education is what you have left when you have forgotten all the specific facts." But these dramatic experiences with Glen Smith is something they will never forget, although they have forgotten many of the details from their class-wor- k. I have great respect for education and the technical knowledge it affords, but I recognize the truth of what Giblin says in his book "How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing With People" "The Carnegie Institute of Technology analyzed the records of 10,000 persons, and arrived at the conclusion that 15 per cent of success is due to technical training, to brains and skill on the job, and 85 per cent of success is dye to personality factors, to the ability to deal with people successfully!"

The students see pracical religion and moral depth in working with Mr. Smith, as I stated before. He does not hesitate to talk with them on these subjects and to encourage them to be honorable and upright. 3. The students are inspired to complete dedication to a good cause. When they are willing to lose sleep, go without meals, work all night to finish scenery and stage props, all of a common good, they are laying a foundation for the ability to sacrifice for other important things in life. These advantages are not normally developed in a classroom. As one of the High School boys said to me, "I learned more in "Ben Hur than anything else Tve done this whole year." Glen Smith is being recognized outside of Lehi for his abil ities. He has been asked to direct the musical this summer for the Utah Valley Opera Association. I think we need to realize how important he is to our school, to our young people, lest we lose him to better personal op portunities.
