Bassett, 22 year of age, a resident of Craro, Iilalio, was instantly 1.1 lied at 12:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at a point about one-bu- lf mile west of the Benjumin store when ho came into contact with a high power electric line. Mr. Ba.set had been in the employ for some time of the Huzznrd Construction Company, which has been digging drain ditches in t he vicinity of Benjumin. Tuesday about noon it became necessary to move the big ditching muchine under the electric lino, so the power company was notified to I urn off, the current and cut the wire ct that poi.it. The telephonic communication resulted in some confusion, and as a result the construction company understood that the power was turned off and that they were to cut the wires. With the understanding that the line w as dead the unfortunate young man climbed the pole do cut the wires and in doing so either grounded one or made a short circuit between the two, spectators were not agreed as to which, and was instantly killed. 'lie fell backward over the two wires, and the powerful current burned off all his clothes except his shoes and burned his body almost to a crisp. As it meant death for anybody to touch the heavily charged body, a telephone message was sent to the Spanish Fork Flro Department to bring their ladders. Chief C. W. Booth and six ilremen responded. Although another message was sent to the compuny telling them to cut off the current. Chief Booth thought it advisable to shoot the wires off with a rifle and this was done. Has Tuttle and Dean Wilcox then climbed the ladders, scrapped the body In a canvas and bad it lowered on the arm ol the ditching machine. The body was then taken to Payr.on, where it was prepared for burial. Mr. Bassett Is survived by his parents and one sister, all residing at Grace, Idaho.

Idleness and irresponsibility. It Is well recognized by many, that well organized play and recreation have as much or more influence on character as manual work. It has further been discovered that many students form habits through idleness and undirected effort in the summer vacation that are not overcome during an entire school term. And since so many educators have said we are simply a bundle of habits, how Important it is that the Sieve Stoker and daughter. Lillian arrived hero from Milford Sunday and will spend the summer hero with relatives. n and Ann Evans, residents of Spunlsh Fork, where they have lived for the pust 37 years, celebrated last Suturday utaht the 50th anniversary of their marriage at tiie homo of their daughter, Mrs. Wells T. llroekbank. The reception commenced at 7 . and lasted until 1 o'clock the following morning. The early part of the evuning was spent in a social way. A program was given, wlt I). J.

C. says in his "Cement Talk "the time to form the proper habits of living is before the cement sets (likening the brain to cement.) So that every day should be considered by each and every student as of too much value to be wasted or squandered, but the .best possible use be made of it, so that he or she might be of the greatest possible service to himself, his community, his state and his Creator. To .assist the students in properly organizing their physical labor, their recreations, health habits and civic duties, the board of education has added one more phase to the work that has been carried on during the past two years and has now arranged matters so that the principals of the three high schools of the Nebo district shall spend their summer in this important work. , . Throe Important Phases There are three important phases of this work that will have the attention of the summer educational force health, vocations and civic and social service of boys and girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen years. A plan has been adopted In this district which requires that Junior and senior high school departments in the future shall present a record of honorable conduct during the summer along the lines above stated. The nation requires that its coming citizens shall so live that they shall be physically prepared to meet the demands of the lives before them as well as possible. The health of its citizens is at the present day the problem of greatest concern on the part of the government. Next to the physical fitness of its citizens comes tho demand that they shall contribute something to the nations welfare. Idleness and disrespect for honst labor are among the curses of any society. It is therefore, important that every boy and girl, during the habit forming period of adolescence, should learn how to work. Vocational guidance, has therefore, become an important factor in edu- Evuns; song, "Put on Your Old Gray Uounet, Jenlngs, Sterling and Bert Evans and Paul Dart, four young &randsong; orlginul poem, "The Golden Wedding, a Reminiscence by Mrs. Effle Dart, read by Miss LaVern Hansen; speech, "My Early Acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Senator.

Those from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Evans of Price, Mr. and Mrs. Alma C. Hansen and daughters of Mapleton; Senator and Mrs. William N. Wiliams and son, Lyman of Salt Lake, Mrs. Ella Evans and Mrs. Sophia Evans of Provo. John B. Evans was born In Wales. September 6th, 1848. His wife, Ann Lewis Evans, was born in a neighboring town, March 31, 1850. They were married May 28, 1871. For the sake of their religion they emigrated to Utah in 1884, settling at Spanish Fork, which has ever since been their home. Both have taken an active part in the religious affairs of their ward. They are the parents of 12 children, seven daughters and five sons; six of these are living: Mrs Mary Hansen of Mapleton; Lewis Evans of Price; David J. and William Evans, Mrs. Jennie Dart and Mrs. La Reta' Brockbank of Spanish Fork. They also have fifteen grandchildren and one Besides their children they have helped to raise one motherless granddaughter, two motherless grandsons and one the . vocational teacher for Spanish Fork, Mr. Skinner, s endeavoring to have all the farmers and others who want help to. report to him and on the other side, all boys and girls and men who want work to Report so that the two might get together. Wouldnt it be a fine thing if our community would come to tho point of frowning down upon any boy or who lacks the degirl or grown-u- p sire to be busily engaged In something uplifting all the time? In alj of this work the patrons and students should bear In mind that nothing succeeds like success and success comes through proper support and effort.
