VOLUME 24 Chester Lyman Named Mayor Of Duchesne City 1955 Program Of Extension Service Planned Initial steps are underway for planning the 1955 work program of the Extension Service in Duchesne County. Franked cards are being mailed to Duchesne County women by Mary Lois Reichert, home demonstration agent, on which are listed 20 various suggestions for demonstrations, illustrated talks, and schools. In order to have a voice in the planning of the 1955 home demonstration program in the county, each of these women are asked to select for choices of courses by filling in the numbers 1 to 4 on the blank spaces next to the suggestion on the card, and to sign their name and community, then mail the card which is addressed to Miss Reichert. Suggestions on the card from program planning include: Salad making, meat cookery, quick mixes, bread, sweet rolls, nutrition discussion, casserole dishes, freezing and canning, color in the home, use of the budget, home management, laundry, selection of electrical equipment, lamp shade wood refinmaking, upholstery, ishing, hems and seams, pattern fitting and alteration, selections of clothing, new fabrics, pressing. Returned cards will be compiled and requested services listed by community and by the county as a whole. Then a general planning meeting will be called and a county committee will help Miss Reichert determine which of these demonstrations should be given according to the number of requests for each. This committee will help her outline the number of communities in which to give each demonstration. Planning of the Extension Service program is done in this manner in order to meet the desires of the women of the county as far as possible, Miss Reichert explains vice-preside- nt Community RESIGNS Otto E.

And again we find the world vomiting forth hate and war for the very reason We have forgotten God! The earth is the Lords, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. He is a God of Peace. He is the King of Peace. And He has placed His sons and daughters here that they might live in peace and serve Him in righteousness. His Son is the Prince of Peace, whose message is a message of peace. And His Spirit will speak peace to all those who will turn their hearts to Him. 1954. Yet there is a spirit of discouragement among those who seek peace, even among the Christian, the the righteous of the earth. There is a spirit of discouragement that seems to whisper, Whats the use? a spirit that says "What can my small voice do to stay the tide of Communism, to stand against the forces of found on every hand? God-fearin- COUNTY AGENTS MAKE 54 REPORT. rfl1V' anti-Chri- Those who stand for Christ and for peace might well remember Abraham and the promise he obtained from the Lord that even Sodom would not go down to destruction if only a handful of righteous could be found in her. A little leaven will leaven the whole lump. Every man who turns to Christ is another soldier for peace, who by his acts brings the day of peace and the hope for peace just one man nearer. And as we approach a season heralded as one for glorifying God and proclaiming peace on earth goodwill toward men, it is for us who believe, again, to dedicate ourselves to Christ and the cause spoken by the heavenly hosts when they announced His birth to the shepherds. TURN TO CHRIST; turn to Him with all your heart. Believe that He is the Prince of Peace, the Son of God, literally; that He came into the world to do the will of His Father, the Great King, to work out the infinite and eternal atonement, and to preach the gospel of peace to all who would hear.

The newly appointed mayor has a long line of experience as a city councilman and assumed his position with full knowledge of the many and varied problems of a small city.

Parents Can Help Children Learn Study Habit If you have ever wanted to kick yourself for never learning how to study and who hasnt you probably hope your child will latch onto this valuable tool early in life. You may be resigned to worrying along with that old mind of yours a mind that mal es you consult notes in a conference because it refuses to retain specific facts, makes you carry closely written file cards when you make a speech, makes you read at a snails pace in order to master information. But your child need not be so handicapped. Not, at least, if you take the trouble now to see that he learns to study. And dont think his teachers can carry the ball alone. Even though he is getting instruction on how to study at school, it doesnt follow that he will continue to practice good study habits at home. The following formula is suggested for getting a youngster not only to open his school books but to do his homework with a mind ready to learn, to explore, to experiment: 1. Set him free. A child's brain needs training in independence. He cannot look to you for the naswer forever, and you should start a campaign to let him think for himself early. 2. Give him a motive. Probably many a child has the distinct impression that he is studying so his. parents can be proud of his report cards, or so he can make like a quiz kid when the neighbors drop in. The really good reason, which makes sense and which will appeal to a youngster, is that studying is a tool for finding out about things that interest him. 3. It takes some scheduling. When a youngster reaches junior high school, he is as busy as Santa Claus on Christmas. And the pace gets even faster in high school. . . You dont want a youngster to be a bookworm any more than you want him to be a butterfly. So sit down and help him plan his activities to suit his time. 4. Although a youngster may want to study, there is still the problem of actually getting start . . That is why the physical setting is important. The living room is definitely not that setting. It is not fair for the rest of the family to remain quiet, and the center of the visual noisy group is not an ideal place to tackle the books. So give the youngster a place of his own where he can study regularly whether it is in his bedroom, at the dining room table, or in a corner of the attic. It is much better if he can have his own desk and his own chair (a straight-backeone). A good lamp is essential of course. If, even with these provisions, a child complains that he just cant concentrate," a few further (Continued on Back Page) ed. d Drunken Driver Given $100 Fine Richard A.
