At that time approximately 163 Scouters, men and women, were called to the stand and presented certificates of graduation, signifying they had completed' the required work prescribed in the Basins first University of Scouting. I dare say there are very few people in the communities that make up the Uintah Basin, as described in the four LDS stakes, Uintah, Roosevelt, Moon Lake and Duchesne, who have not heard about the University of Scouting. Local papers and the radio station have' given generously of their space and time to publicize the great Scouting program. And incidently the papers and radio were cited for their help at the graduating exercises. If there are some' who have not heard about Scouting ar, k carried out in the training school, then Ill' wager my last summers straw hat, they soon will. Never have I seen such enthusiasm exhibited' in a program than was in evidence last Friday night. Over 260 people were exposed to some of the fine instruction given by experts in their fields. Scouting activity in the Basin in the future will most certainly be reflected back to the first University of Scouting. It cant help but grow to such proportions none of us dreamed could happen in such a short time. There are a lot of people who deserve great gobs of orchids for the' outstanding' contributions they made to this project. Lest I overlook .some person who did a grand job, names will not be mentioned in this editorial comment. That is, all will be eliminated except one young man. Several times I have personally expressed my compliments to Rulon Dean Skinner for the outstanding job he is doing as field executive for the Boy Scouts of America, National Parks Council, since coming to our community approximately one year ago. Scouter Skinner is, in a great measure, responsible for the amazingly successful University of Scouting. It was he who conceived the idea, and sold it to a lot of other great fellows who love boys and the scouting movement. It was Rulon who called h!s advisers together and began making plans for this big project and then saw a crowd that even he did not anticipate, make their appearance at the first class, and kept coming back five more times. Besides being a young man who knows and loves Scouting. Rulon Dean Skinner is a young man who possesses humility, one of the greatest of all virtues a successful man must possess. His humility is ground deep into his heart and soul, and because of this he hal made an enviable record during the year he has been our field executive. He inspires men and boys to greater achievement in the Scouting program. If the Basin is so fortunate to keep Rulon Dean Skinner here a few years, parents of boys wont have much to fear for their sons who are influenced to come into the Scouting program in the Basin. Of course all this is contingent on how well you and I who have sons of Scouting age support Scouter Skinner and all the other fine men who are guiding the program in our communities. six-wee- W vEv ADULTS ARE WARNED TO TAKE SHOTS SUGGESTIONS OFFERED FOR TYPHOID . . . A serious plea has come this week from health officers of Duchesne County, which Im sure would be concurred in by health officers in Uintah, for adults, as well as children, to get typhoid shots. Miss Fay Pope, Duchesne county health nurse, made the following statement to your editor this week, and most certainly should serve as a clinching fact to influence us all to not take chances: TLe health officers of Duchesne County report several cases of diarrhea in Duchesne County; and it is highly recommendel that persons of all ages take typhoid shots. These typhoid shots are given in a series of three, with a booster shot necessary annually. Result of tests as to the condition of the water supply in Duchesne County makes this area susceptible to a typhoid epidemic. The medical associations attitude on this subject was by a local doctor, who was very emphatic in his opinion that an epidemic of typhoid could easily hit this area, unless special precaution is taken. He also advocated very strongly that ail ages should make sure they have shots that would immunze' them from this particular disease. There are two ways to get these shots: First, see your family physician; and second, arrange with the school nurse to have it done when they are giving shots at the school serving your community. A word to the wise is sufficient, is a bit of fine philosophy that could apply in this situation very effectively. vEv se A reckless driver is someone who passes you on the highHarry Toffel. way-, no matter how fast you go. Ballet Dates Set For December 27 to 31 U. Of U. The University Theatre Ballet, together with a full Utah Symphony orchestra, will present a complete classical ballet for the first time in Utah history.

Talented' Mis.", Bailey Is one of the most popular dancers ever to visit Utah. Her popularity has increased with each visit. Conrad Ludlow, also of the San Francisco Ballet, plays the role of Cavalier.

These Army and Air Force schools offer 450 varied courses, many of which are valuable to a civilian Guardsman in his full-tim-e occupation. Skills in such fields as electronics, automitive mechanics, radar, food management, radio and administration may be acquired through school attendance. Completion of the school course can mean advancement both in civilian and military assignments, promotion or commission and extra pay. The Guard education program is not the only advantage which members enjoy. They also have training at home, added income, advancement, retirement benefits and even social and recreation activities. And all of these advantages are available to the National Guardsman while he is Serving his country honorably and fulfilling his military obligation.
