The theory and application of forest management techniques learned will be implemented by the foresters in their own districts as they solve specific problems. Each participant will write a prescription to meet a specific timber problem. This will include an oral defense of the project, another session at USU in March, a summer of field work and an individual defense of the actual management during the coming fall. Instructors include a statistician from Mississippi, an ecologist from the northwest region and members of the USU College of Natural Resources staff.

Your willingness to sacrifice has been vividly portrayed with the construction of the new Highland Second and Sixth Ward building and the Alpine Utah Stake Center at the same time. With the completion of the Alpine Utah Stake Center in August 1980 came the creation of our new Highland Utah Stake. It has been a warm and exciting opportunity to witness the call to duty, and your enthusiastic response. Many in the wards and stake have been given the opportunity for growth through increased service to others. As we consider the Christmas season, service to others stands out as one of the Saviours most revered personal traits. His counsel to the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1831 is still valid today, "Wherefore, be not weary in for And of of are work. out the foundation a laying ye great small things proceedeth that which is great" D&C 64:33. Let us this Christmas season reflect upon the life and mission of our Saviour Jesus Chrust. Let us teach of his sacrifice and love for each of us. Let us teach of his obedience to his Father and the Plan of Salvation, for which he died. May we enjoy the beauty of the Christmas season through music and the expression of love for our fellowman. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and pray for your continued and prosperity in the coming year and express to you again our love and appreciation for your support and faithfulness in the Lord's work in our stake. by feast has smoked mutton rather than turkey.
