Call Jeach Children Honesty To the Editor: I We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the Ephraim Lions Club for the fine work and long hours they and their families put forth so that our young people could participate in the baseball tournament la$t week. Not having a child play this year we went to enjoy the games and wdtch the youth of our community play. Wfe were very impressed with the sportsmanship shown by players. The Lions Club, does charge a small amount to get into the games, and they serve a mean hamburger. We understand the bulk of the money made fi$m this event is applied towards a scholarship fund for some lucky young Pageant time is a great time in Manti. I suppose Sanpeters feel the same as I were really quite proud to be a part of a community which or woman to further hisher education. The thing that surprised us was the number of young children wearing their older brother's or sister's baseball shirts, or boys and girls not playing this year wearing the shirts from last year so that they could get into the game without paying. Parents, are we teaching our children honesty by going along with this kind of action? We didn't feel like the price was out of reach for any of us and it is going for a good cause. Come on parents, wake up and lets teach our kids a little honesty. Remember the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Glen and Pat Foote man A brings such an outstanding cultural and spiritual experience to so many compeople. And when I say munity" I mean all of us Sanpeters, because the Pageant brings us closer to unity than anything we do. Its held in Manti, but residents of all communities feel as if its theirs." And so it is. We all share in the work . . . and we all share in the Report from Congress . Your mind is the place where all progress begins and ends. The degree of siiccess that you attain is determined, not by the business you are in, but by tie attitude you bring to tiat business. The simple truth is this: positive mental attitude or a negative mental attitude is the forerunner respectively to either success and happiness or failure and frustration. Your potential is established by your mental attitude! If a computer could register all your various thoughts and attitudes toward the days different situations, and at the end of the day play them back, Pageant officials have a constant struggle keeping the Pageant from circus by becoming a three-rin- g being commercialized. Many are the groups or individuals who hope to turn a fast buck by capitalizing on 0 thousand people in one having place. If they were given a free hand, the vendors would set up booths and stands all over town, with emphasis on the Pageant by Zell Gibbs 4 Within the borders of Sanpete County one finds a very definite and distinctive ambiance that seems to pervade both people and topography. Peaceful, pastoral, and prosaic are words that best describe it. The inhabitants of Sanpete County are a people devoted to their heritage; the preservation , of its material memorabilia and spiritual values. There is a great diversity of architecture in the older homes of Sanpete County. Owners . . . make every effort to preserve them. They are a most interesting feature of the rural atmosphere. Interest and curiosity about life in the small towns of America are growing in direct ratio to the ever increasing stresses of metropolitan living, and the small towns of Sanpete County are a breatji of fresh air to city dwellers. The Mormon Temple at Manti is an ethereal visual experience. It is situated high upon a hill, seeming, from a distance, almost to float amid the clouds and endless blue sky. It has since its completion in 1888, been a landmark that can be seen from many miles in any direc hub is 15-2- you would realize just why you find yourself on your present plateau of success or failure. Whether or not you are aware of it, the caliber of your thoughts and attitudes materializes in direct ratio to their intensity to become your level of existence. This is a powerful truth from the law of cause and effect. Renew the caliber of your thought pattern and you increase your achievements. Success is but a of a positive mental attitude. As surely as fire depends upon oxygen for existence, so does success depend upon a positive mental attitude to exist and to endure. Positive mental attitude must be a continuous daily thing. You have a free will, the choice is yours. Be aware that if things are not going right on the outside, it is because you are not going right on the inside No obstacle is removed and a problem can't be overcome with a negative mental attitude. Don't get hung up on something that happened yesterday or an hour ago. It is your present performance what you do now, that counts and where your mind is that determine the outcome! Your thoughts are the keynotes to success. There is nothing you cannot do if you swing your mind around to think positive and to act positive! Not to curse the darkness, but to light a candle! by Jim Hansen In a recent interview on Meet the Press," former secretary of state Cyrus Vance gave the Soviet Union an abundant supply of grist for its propanda and disinformation mill when he warned 1 Touring Sanpete j Hows this for a gobbledegook sentence?

Wed like to encourage the city fathers to research the problem and take whatever action is necessary to protect our Pageant, and at the same time protect our local businesses. that President Reagans get tough attitude toward the Soviet Union was offending the Kremlin and thereby diminishing the chances for arms limitation talks between Washington and Moscow. True to their track record, the establishment media has joined the attack with unbelievably biased relations, and reporting of Soviet-U.Reagan foreign policy in general. Dovish Senate liberals, until recently silenced by the rejection of their foreign and economic policies at the polls on November 4, seized the opportunity to shift unsuccessful criticism away from President Reagans popular economic policy to his conduct of foreign policy. Senator Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts charged that except for Reagan's reflexes, this President has no foreign policy. California Senator Alan Cranston asserted that the Reagan Administration did not have a human rights or Mideast policy and stressed that the Administration desperately needs a sense of direction." President Reagans foreign policy does indeed have direction and substance. 1 find it difficult to believe that these liberals are really concerned that the President's foreign policy doesnt have any direction. A more plausible explanation is that they are simply unhappy with the tough-Sovidirection President Reagans foreign policy is taking. Why are liberals like Vance, Tsongas and Cranston so infatuated by style and words as opposed to substance and anti-Sovi- tion. Each year on its sloping, d lawns an epoch pageant called The Mormon Miracle Pageant," is performed, and viewed enthusiastically by thousands. It portrays the establishment of the Mormon Church, and relates graphically the Book of Mormon story. Over 120,000 visitors annually view the Pageant. In the Manti-L- a Sal Forests scenic Skyline Drive runs for a hundred miles along the crest of the mountains. This is probably one of the longest uninterrupted vistas of sheer pristine beauty to be seen anywhere in the world. 'The splendor and majesty of ones immediate surroundings at any point along this exquisitely scenic drive is vying constantly with the potpourri of beauty spread out mile upon mile below. In the fall it is unbelievably beautiful, and the white world of winter, viewed from the heights on snowmobile or skis, is, quite literally, indescribably overwhelming. Several canyons leading to the mountains from Spring City, Manti, May-fieland Ephraim provide easy access to one of natures most pristine and versatile areas. Cool, well-tende- wooded picnic areas and campsites with facilities dot the canyons. Reservoirs, lakes, and streams offer excellent fishing and boating. The county is a favorite region for fall hunting, and highly valued by winter sports enthusiasts for easy accessibility, vast spaces, and uncrowded conditions. Another of Sanpete Countys outstanding attractions is the Fairview Museum of History and Art. It contains a large, roofless solarium where tourists are invited to rest in a setting of flowering shrubs and trees, vines and waterfall. Dr. Avard Fairvanks, world renowned sculptor, has loaned the Museum many originals of his et Murals painted by a famous local artist, Max Blaine, grace the walls and act as setting for special exhibits.

There is certainly nothing wrong with the local merchants having special sales and catering to the increased foot traffic created by the event. They keep their stores open 11 months other than July, with very little volume because of our sparse population.

USPS Why are they so afraid of offending the Soviets? In the recent past, foreign policy leaders like Vance have been so careful not to offend the Soviets that they have all but ignored the massive Soviet arms buildup and Soviet intervention in Afghanistan, Africa and Central America. At the same time, these liberals have blindly pushed for closer and friendlier ties with the USSR. These leaders refuse to recognize the facts, and instead spend their energy and effort "intellectualizing the significance behind the Soviets latest call for disarmament or their dununciations of U.S. militarism. Unfortunately, this criticism of President Reagans foreign policy is blocking U.S. efforts to modernize NATO's nuclear forces by playing right into the hands of European pacifists, and is giving the Kremlins intense propaganda attack of Reagans foreign policy added credibility. The expert Soviet propagandists are making such skillful use of the campaign against President Reagans foreign policy that Afghanistan is quietly becoming a forgotten issue while American attempts to modernize NATO's aging nuclear forces are running up against stiff Western European opposition. We in the Congress can speak out in support of President Reagan, but with media arrayed the establishment have we little us, hope of having against our voice heard. Some presidential advisers believe that the virulent criticisms of President Reagans foreign policy must be answered, and soon. I tend to agree. I believe the President will eventually find it necessary to circumvent the media and go over their heads with an appeal to the American people for support of his foreign policy. . grounds.
