Show Page Eight The Mt. Pleasnt Pyramid Why celebrate bicentennial ? October 7, 1976 Provo writer praises museum available. For a time Fairbanks By Hieron H. Luke There are museums, and had a studio of sorts there. When he discontinued that, he left museums. Theres the kind that feature much of his work and Sanderson grandma's cooking pot which came across the plains, and grandpas Nauvoo Legion sword which he only wore on the 24th of July. And then theres the museum at Fairview, Sanpete County. For a starter it has many Utah-bor- n s works of the sculptor Avard Fairbanks, something which probably no other museum in the state can boast. They are mostly the plaster models, but they look and just like the real thing there are quite a few of the real thing also. How did a little town like world-famou- Fairview get these for. its museum (which is located in the, old school) when many a larger' one would give its cultural eye teeth for them? His son married a Fairview girl and they interested him in the town. He started out in nearby Spring City, also in the old school, but a manufacturing firm took it over. So in Fairview, Sanpete County, not very many population you can see the work, or the models and casts, of one of the great sculptors currently alive. But that is not all the Fairview museum has. It has a roomful of woodcarvings by Lyndon Graham, former custodian of the school, which defy description. In his way, hes as great an artist as Fairbanks only not so famous. But he should be. He carves horses (the greatest action Ive ever seen) and old coaches, and the Taj Mahal. You have to see it to believe it. It has some relics of a rural past that will stir every old farm boy including me. A hay knife, a replica of the one Ive cut many a feeding from the stack before the 'days of baled hay. and a harpoon hay .. down-to-eart- fork, and h Jackson fork, remember them? When hay was handled loose without benefit of neat wire or twine. And an old grindstone, the likes of which I used to pump till my legs were numb sharpening mowing machine knives. I always wondered why I pumped and my Dad held the knife. He was a lot bigger and stronger than I at the time. Sanpete Valley was about as rural and early as they come in Utah. Still is in many respects. Most of the artifacts (Fancy word for relic) came right from the valley including the cash register from the old Fairview Mercantile which was formerly the Fairview branch of the territorial-wid- e Zions foot-ped- Cooperative Mercantile In- stitution: (If I can slip this in without someone getting mad or huffy, as children wed call those initials Zions Collection of Mormon Idiots). But the Fairview museum has it has Golden something else G. Sanderson, a spry 76 who moves like a kid and whose eyes sparkle when he talks about his museum. I say his museum; because he's been the guiding light, the prime mover, the chief ramrod, ever since it was started in the 1960safter Sanpete consolidated it's schools and the building became First Application Relieves Itchy Skin Rash Also Helps Promote Healing Medicated Zemo quickly relieves itching, irritated skin.

Baxter, Spring City Lets turn the pages of history back to 1620 when the Pilgrims first came here for religious freedom and the right to live in pursuit of happiness that they desired. But the tyrannical kings of England would have none of that - they imposed restrictions that were impossible to live with. In the summer of 1776 the Declaration of Independence was written and signed July 4, 1776. The colonies had nothing but a love for liberty and it was that love that carried them through to the defeat of the proud British army. That was carried on by The By over for a museum.

The Union was saved as Lincoln planned but it was years before the North and South were again united. Our country was growing, railroads and mills were being built all over our great country, prosperity and the love for liberty was everywhere. Then came World War I. Our boys went overseas to France, singing "Over There, Over There, and we won't come back until its over there." Thousands of our boys never came back and were buried under the poppies in Flanders Field, The war ended the war to end all in 1918, wars", as it was called. But in 1938 Hitler started another war.

Thats why we celebrate. We see the words In God We Trust stamped on our coins and on some of the buildings. Lincoln said Without it, we cannot win, with it we cannot lose.

Theses people are elected by you and are accountable to you. Are they afraid of people expressing their thoughts? Are they afraid the people will ask questions they cannot answer? While I was on the board for two years, few people came to the board meetings but when they did start to come, I soon learned the reason they stayed away. Never before in my life had I viewed such open hostility toward other human beings. One board member made the statement that when people come we dont get anything done. In my opinion they never really accomplish a thing in the many hours the meetings drag examined before or after the purchase. When I objected to not approving any purchase before the fact, I was informed that the board approves the budget each year. True, the board approves of the budget category by category. Evidently those on the board are willing to turn one or two people loose with over one million dollars each year, to spend as they see fit without question. When problems of students or other problems were brought to the boards attention, the feeling was to let the superintendent handle it, he has had the experience.

Once a month board meetings are four to five hours long dealing with such trivia. When it comes to our childrens education, that is a long way down the road. Why are these people so content to do nothing and accomplish nothing for the hours wasted? It has not changed since I was there. I did not feel good about it and for the life of me I dont see how the board members can feel good about it now. It has always been my feeling that when people attend a public meeting such as a board meeting they come because they are interested and not because they wanted to cause a problem. come sometimes They because they have a problem and need help and came to find an answer. Too many times people are turned away being made to feel they are the problem. They leave feeling guilty and ashamed they bothered anyone. If our public servants are not there to serve us and to help, then I feel they have no business being there. Next month elections will be held for president, on down to state offices and school board members. Search your hearts and your minds to decide on those people you will vote for, those who you will place your trust in and then vote for those who you feei will do the job you expect.
