He is a fast man on the guitar and banjo which may partly account for his rapport with students. Who wouldn't like to sing along to the ripping staccato of his ole banjo? There is alwyas plenty of activity in Kay's room, "I discovered that a teacher has to be actively engaged to keep students active. I organize work and play activities, always trying to maintain a friendly attitude - whether I feel like it or not. A teacher needs to provide a pleasant atmosphere to work in, follow the golden rule and be consistent in discipline. " His sixth grade enrollment hit 38 during the year, is down to 34 now -still a large group - yet. he manages to keep a smile on tap. He gears his programming to allow the student to build himself and school in such activities as periodic talent shows. Currently chairman of the Leadership Program in Language Arts designed to study and formulate guides for the district, he points out that the area of listening and speaking need more emphasis in teaching English spelling, reading and friendly attitude to take a 30 hour class from Extension services before qualifying as a member of the Leadership team.

The affection he has for his parents is revealed by his words, "Anything I am is the Influence of my parents and the values they taught me. " writing. 'In spelling we want to teach other skills. The same approach holds good in other subjects.

Freeman is new BLM Executive Vice President will Speak at "Man to Man' Night BYU YOUR DOG-GON- E WRIGHTS by Doug Wright Some areas seem to have an overabundance of culture and others seem to fit into the disadvantaged when it comes to such matters. Emery County would have to be classed in the disadvantaged category on that score. Occasionally, however, by some expert arranging, an excepptionally good program is pulled into the area. Such was the case when the American Fork Civic Choir made an appearance for a performance in the Ferron Ward a few weeks ago. These groups dont come cheap. They have expenses too. The Civic Choir needed a guarantee of $100.00 to give their performance in Ferron and thats cheap for the caliber of entertainment they provide. The sad part about that particular performance was that not enough people showed up to provide the guaranteed fee. So, a cultural benefit that was to help pay for some much needed equipment ended up drawing money from the budget to meet the obligation to the singing group. Now thats a real shame to let good entertainment go begging for an appreciative audience. Residents of the county will have a second chance to show that they really do have an appreciation for good clean entertainment. On April 30 a group called the Kocher-ha- ns family will be at the Emery County High School Auditorium to present a musical program. The program is being sponsored by the 81st Quorum ofSeventies as a means to add to the Stake Quorum missionary fund. The Kocherhans music is a refined version of the modern trend. The girls gymnastics team from North Emery Jr. High can attest to the caliber of entertainment the Kocherhans are capable of providing. They were given a private sampling recently when they went upstate to perform in the gymnastics meet. Members of the Seventies Quorum will be around to personally contact families and individuals throughout the county concerning ticket sales. However, you dont have to wait for someone to come around. If you will 1, well call the Progress office, take your name and see that someone gets tickets to you. I have a personal drive going to show that Emery County isnt as culturally void as the American Fork Civic Choir performance seemed to indicate. Anyone care to help me prove Im right? That number is 748-243- 748-243- 1.

Campor Registration in effect May 10 The new camper registration law becomes effective May 10th. After that date a pickup truck carrying a camper must have a decal on the lower right hand corner of the rear license plate which will Indicate that current property taxes on the camper have been paid. Campers are taxable as personal property, but very few have paid taxes on them in the past. Under the new law campers will be required to be registered and registration will depend on payment of the property tax. Campers will be taxed on the basis of value. To determine value, the make, model, sire and age must be known. Campers not having a serial number will be issued one by die county assessor. It is very important that the age of the camper be known when the registration is obtained in order to avoid overassessment of the tax. Proceeds of this tax are collected and retained in the counties, since this is a local personal property tax. Camper owners who have already paid their tax this year will still need to register their campers and get their licence plate decals. All counties will have decals and registration supplies by May 3 or before. V The 1971 Saturday, the season Arena.
