Nothing, Weather Report 4-- Castle Dale, Official Station Alvin Jensen, Observer Should you happen, to call the PROGRESS office some time in the future, and "get that feeling that you are talking to someone a long way off, dont be alarmed. You see, the telephone company installed a new hands-fre- e telephone here this week, and from what we have been, told, when using the mike unit of the same, it sounds as if we have our head in a big long barrel, with you standing at the other end. Of course, it really isnt that bad, but it does sound different The reason the unit was installed, however, was to facilitate taking news and other information over the phone without fumbling with a phone in our hands while trying to write. Or should someone want some information on their subscription or other facts about the paper, it is possible for us to carry on a conversation while acquiring the information. Since every big step forward in advancement also presents a few drawbacks, we hope you will soon get used to "the sound, and not be alarmed when you hear that far-o- ff voice. 4-- H NORTH EMERY 4-- H By LaRae Jones North Emery Ferron Lions Give High School $76.49 for Polio Rangers wait anxiously for the return battle with the Bulldogs this Friday on the- South Emery court.

Plaque Awarded to ' Utah for Driver Training The top national award given the State of Utah, was presented to Governor George D. Clyde today for the outstanding driver education program conducted last year. The handsome plaque was presented by Dr. Marland K. Strasser, Association of Casualty and Surety Companies, at a special joint session of the Utah Legislature. The award was in recognition of the highly successful driver education program integrated into the states high school system last year. Such program involved over 90 of the high schools and enrolled over 81 of the eligible students. They all received the minimum amount of classroom and practice driving instruction required by the State Board of Education. This participation was substantially more than double the national average of only 32.5, enrollment in the complete, standard course. Dr. Strasser, on behalf of the Association and the several other national professional organizations promoting safety, denied that such programs are frills" as some critics have branded them.

The consti- tution was read and accepted by the group, and a charter for the club was received. Letters were read inviting club members to several colleges for their science meets. Carbon College invited students there April 10, and CSU also extended an invitation. Winners at either one of these meets will go to the state meet at Logan, which Is May 9. The club has the opportunity to go to three different meets with their science project or research paper, so it looks like it will be will worth their time and effort to do these. At some of the later meets the club plans to have visitors from both CSU and Carbon College. They will help with yie science projects and give talks on science. Each member received a certificate stating they belonged to the Science Clubs of America, which Is an international organization devoted to the furtherance of scientific knowledge. Under the supervision of Lynn Peacock and with the help of Bennett Ray Gunderson, the club is well on its way. Other officers of the club are Joan Fillmore, secretary; Clifford Oviatt, vice president, and Jonnie Ward, reporter. . Besides garnering the highest of points during the first week of the contest, Mrs. Reid also turned in the largest number of new subscriptions, giving her the first weekly prize of $10. At the close of each of the next three weeks another contestant will also receive $10 for the most new subscriptions. As the contest progresses, it is certain that contestants will go up and down on the ladder, with probably several ladies enjoying the feel of the top position for a Bhort time at least. With only about 1000 points separating each of the ladies, the difference could be equalized with just one subscription, since a two-yenew subscription would number ar bring 1250, or a three-yea- sub- r scription 2000. It is easy to see where the person on the bottom this week, could climb to the top in just a week or two. Standings at present, include Mrs. Reid with 5500 points, followed by Clarasee Brotherson of Elmo in Second place with 4000 points. Other contestants line up in the following order, according to their points: Rose Ungerman, Hunting-ton- ; Louise Blackburn, Emery; Kathlyne Worthen, Ferron; and Berniece Anderson, Castle Dale. Check this list and see where your contestant stands. If they are down, get behind them and see that they climb the list to put them in a favorable position to make a drive for the top spot and the grand prize. If they are already near the top, they will also need your support in keeping them there. , , Prizes will be awarded Saturday evening, March 14, following the close of the contest Friday, March 13. The grand prize, a Necchl Automatic sewing machine, to be given through the cooperation of Price Trading Company, will be awarded to the woman at the top of the list as of 6 p.m., Friday, March 13. Second prize, a General Electric Cannister type vacuum, through the cooperation of Justesens in Orangeville, and a third prize of a card table and chair set, will also be awarded at the same time, Saturday evening. With such a small field of contestants, the possibilities are high that your contestant can place in the top three bracket, and win one of the prizes. She will require your support, however. Subscribers of the PROGRESS are again urged to contact the contestant of their choice, and offer to renew your subscription, if it expires any time within the next year. If possible, subscribe for more than one year at a time, as it will save you money, and will aid your contestant to receive a higher number of points. Wins First $10 Prize . . . n, Huntington First Schedules Ball Huntington First Ward MIA this week announced plans to conduct their annual Gold and Green Ball this Saturday, February 28, in the Huntington LDS recreation hall. According to MIA leaders, the theme of the dance will be built around a Hawaiian motif. Music will be furnished by the Music Vendors. A floor show will be presented during the evening, and will feature an dance, as well as several couple dances. Dick Huntington and Glenna Jones are dance directors in charge of the floor show. Family Poultry Club Honored By Cooperative The Happy Family poultry club, composed of members from Castle Dale and Cleveland, again walked away with a goodly share of the awards at the recent Utah Poultry and Farmers Cooperative convention. The awards were given by the cooperative in the annual Junior Broiler contest Saturday afternoon. The club received first place honors in state competition, and a prize of $50. In addition to the club prize, each individual member of the group received an award. Ralph Wayman, Castle Dale, received first place in the division, while his brother, Van, placed third, and his sister, Mary, placed fourth in the same division. They received checks for $35, $20 and $15, respectively. In the Single-broo- d division, Don and Ruth Wayman tied for secend, each receiving $20. Boyd Nielsen of Cleveland, also a member of the club, placed fifth in this division, and received $7.50. The club competition was based on conditions involved in producing and marketing more than 1000 broilers during the year, while the individual broods were calculated on 1000 or more birds. During the meeting, the Wayman family was honored as one of the outstanding family units in the junior broiler contest. Mrs. Oscar Wayman, leader of the group, spoke briefly in acceptance and appreciation of the honors. Alaska Openings Not Plentiful Numerous Inquiries about job opportunities in Alaska have prompted State employment offices to issue go slow" warnings to would-b- e migrants to the 49th State. John C. Forrester, manager of the Price employment office said that so far, Alaskas labor demand is confined almost exclusively to seasonal type jobs, mostly in construction. At present there are no job openings for the average job seeker. Latest information from the Alaska Employment Security Commission indicates that one out of five Alaskans is unemployed and will probably continue jobless until late Spring. The long range outlook for Alaska is excellent, he added, and our newest State will some day support a labor force much larger than at present. But with Alaskas climate, the problem of seasonal unemployment will always be there, just as it Is here In Utah, he added. Even in Spring or Summer, Mr. Forrester advised, a job seeker would be unwise to leave for Alaska unless he had definitely signed up for work before leaving. Rites Conducted For Emery Larsen Funeral services were held Thursday for Emery Larsen In the Castle Dale LDS chapel under the direction of Bishop Forrest Peterson. Speakers were A. D, Keller, Price and Leon Ralphs of Ferron. Musical numbers were by the Singing Mothers, Calvin Jewkes and Yvonne Jorgensen. Prayers were by Charles Stilson and Pres. Glen Bott. The grave was dedicated by Aldo Childs. Burial was under the direction of Witbeck Funeral Home. best-qualifi- teachers we have available. The stakes are far too high to entrust them to the least qualified, he said. Governor Clyde, in accepting the award, acknowledged the outstanding legislative recognition accorded the driver education program. He suggested that it now constitutes a real challenge to the colleges to assure that ample, qualified teachers are provided. The joint legislators also heard from a typical high school student who had completed the driver education course. He was Bob Ether-ingtoof Jordan High School, who told the group what the course had meant to him, and how much better prepared he now is to assume the responsibilities related to driving safely. all-gir- ls Nina Nixon Bowman, 63.
