HOME OF OFFICIAL EMERY COUNTY NEWSPAPER Volume 58 Emery County (Utah) Progress An Open Letter to Parents As you probably have read, next week has been proclaimed American Education Week, for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting these needs. I have often thought as a parent, that I am still a student. Few of us sill attend classes or read textbooks, but all of us study the welfare of our children. As students, we are still trying to learn what is best for our youngsters and try to apply this knowledge. In these studies, some of us are more successful than others, yet all of us are eager for high marks, for our childrens sake. We parents, as students, have a students responsibilities to learn and then to put our learning to effective use. This involves us in a three-wa- y challenge for our childrens sakes. First, a challenge to understand our children. Second, a challenge to understand the influences which affect them. Third, a challenge to use our knowledge for their best interests. Wisely and sympathetically we must seek to understand our childrens concerns and enthusiasms, their, abilities and shortcomings, their actions and reactions. We cannot know' our child unless we know his environment and the influences which affect him. This, necessarily, brings us in touch with his teachers and his friends. This then is one of the purposes of American Education Week. Each school in the county is planning an activity in conjunction with this week and we of the various stalls of the Emery Co. School District would like to extend an imitation to you as parents to participate in this activity with your own By Clarin D. Ashby It has always seemed appar. ent that you can buy ia mans time; you can buy a mans physical presence in a given place; you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. However, you cannot buy initiative; you cannot buy loyalty you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds and souls. You have to earn these things. Clarence Francis. At the bottom of this column, you will note a picture of people descending from a plane. On the surface it would appear that it is an everyday occurence, but to this particular story we would like to add a few notes. The plane in the photo was one of two aircraft chartered by Carter Oil company, which, together with one of their own planes, took on the task of hauling all the weekly newspaper publishers on a tour of oil and gas developments in Utah. The story starts back just a little farther, however. Thursday evening of last week we were invited to Salt Lake for a dinner and briefing on the proposed flight, and were then outfitted with hotel accomodations (everything on Carter Oil), so that we would be rested up for the flight the next day, which was to begin about 6:30 a.m. After an early breakfast, we were taken by bus to the Salt Lake airport, where we boarded the planes, as described above. We were assigned to flight No. 1, and within minutes we were heading east out of Salt Lake. Due to the weather, our route was a little different than was planned, taking us east to Myton, thence southeast towards Grand Junction. As we flew east the ground below was swallowed up in a thick layer of white billowy clouds, and only occasionally did we get a glimpse of the terrain below. However, as we turned south, the clouds began to break in spots, and the pilot got word by radio that the oil fields in the area was open, so we swung our course in that direction and made a bee-lin- e for the oil fields before the clouds could close in again. On the way we got a glimpse of parts of the desert and Moab valley, then passed by several peaks of the LaSal Mountains as they pushed up out of the white clouds. The tour of the oil fields and monument valley was very intersting, and the weather held up good. Following this sightseeing venture, we headed for Farmington, N. M., where we landed for refueling. While we were waiting for refueling operations, we were astonished to hear our name being paged. We found, upon inquiry, that it was the stewardess from one of the other planes in our group, that wanted to talk to us. You see, she was an Orangeville girl, Carolyn Robertson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Buck Robertson. She had noticed from the passen. ger list that we were" from Castle Dale, and felt we might have some six-ho- ur four-corne- rs hoy or girl. Pheasant Hunt Scheduled For Opening Utahs pheasant and other upland game bird seasons get underway at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, November 9.

Monday morning a heavy snow began falling, and although the storm lasted only a short time, some areas received over four Inches of snow before the skies cleared. Reports have been received that some of the mountain areas in the county received nearly three feet of Bnow during the storm, with a high moisture content. Flat canyon was reported to have one and a half feet of snow at noon Sunday, with the bulk of the heavy storm coming after this time. Prospects for good watershed conditions during the coming winter months are higher at the present time than they have been for several years. The ground has been soaked thoroughly prior to this storm, which should allow a high percentage yield from the winter cover.
