The Santa Claus house in Civic Center square was broken into, pushed over and practically destroyed; destruc- tive acts have taken place at the cemetery; businesses have reported valuable signs stolen or destroyed; and construction and road signs have been removed from sites and dumped into the creek.

I The story of Nellie Noble, as taken from the, Where Children Come First, the history of 50 Vears of PTA written by Bonaro and 'jHarry Overstreet is an inspiring example. "It was a real job for jme as state organizer to travel into every little town and wake up the mothers to the idea that they had responsibilities to other peoples children as well as to their own, to the expecially motherless children, and to the children whose mothers were obliged to work, Mrs. Noble said. "I personally called on every mother in the towns where I went. . .to urge her to come to the meetings to be held in the to form schoolhouses Mothers Clubs (as PTAs As the 85th MT.

Nellie Noble and other mothers wanted to learn about the kind of education children were receiving, so they visited schools, and were appalled by what they discovered: - "We found many small, children with their heads on the desks sound asleep. On investigation we found that these children came from homes where there was very little food and that their parents had diluted some beer or wine and given it to them instead of food. Out of this experience came first the Penny Kitchens where children received a hot bowl of soup and ultimately the now nationwide school lunch program. The program started in Los Angeles where Mrs. Noble and her committee convinced the city Board of Education they should give penny kitchens a trial, They found local .

It seems that a lot of young people and some older people, too, just plain dont care. In this time of rapidly changing situations in the world, we must stay abreast of those changes and become qualified for our jobs if we are to be a success in this world. It takes a lot of study, ambition, self searching and work to become the winner all of us would like I Everyone wants to be a winner. When we get old enough to leave home and venture out into the world, most of us want to be successful. How then does one become successful? That question faces all of us. Not all of us will become as successful in the eyes of the world as will others.

II Fairview looks at hydro study report Bv Kickell Jaines-lris- h FAIRVIE- W- The City Council Tuesday night heard a detailed report on the hydro electric study prepared and presented by Tom Holstrum. This study was funded by the Department of Energy to determine the feasibility of producing power from the flow of Cottonwood Creek and Fairview Lakes. It was hoped that hydro pow could replace some of the power Fairview will have to buy from other sources. However, the study revealed that because of the short time period (approximately four months) river flow can be used and the high cost of equipment and construction, hydro power is not cost effective and other power sources will be cheaper in the long run. This study is available in City Hall for your persual.' The status of the old dance hall was discussed. The city is interested in purchasing this building and will seek more information to estimate costs for repair and maintenance. The Senior Citizens have expressed willingness to be involved in the fix-u- p and supervision of this hall and Council members felt this would be a good arrangement and would benefit the citizens of Fairview. A financial review showed the city to be in good shape, in the black and it is felt that continued careful management of the budget will keep it there. became federal COMMUNITY CALENDAR SUBSCRIPTION RATES $1 (in advance) 30' per copy 1.00 per year $12.50 per year Outside Sanpete Co.
