Mr. Yergensen stated that the officers have decided to ask every club and organization in the Basin to participate in the celebration, by assigning them various phases of the program. They feel that a greater interest from all groups of people will be shown if they have a part in the actual preparation for the big event. With the increase of interest and things being added to the celebration, the Young Farmers feel the need of assistance from outside organizations. Making the U B I C a real homecoming for all former Basinites is one of the main objectives of the board this year, and early planning for this will no doubt create much interest for all those people and give them an opportunity to commence making plans to be with their many Basin friends during the great event. home-comin- Advanced Week; Set For Dec. 10th The monthly meeting of the Duchesne Parent-TeachAssociation has been stepped up a week, reports Mrs. Rachel Bates, association president.
