UNIQUE SCHOOL West Clearfield residents will be seeing a unique-lookin- g building rise in their midsts with anticipated opening of the new Holt School in October. It is built of white-face- d metal exterior and includes two levels. District Art Director Ivan Comia says this new building will provide a unique opportunity to view art and students creations along with the chance to study a new type of beauty in the new school. In 1942. Wallaces. Odd, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Odd of Kaysville was serving his country in the U.S. Army. He began writing poetry about his family and home to occupy his time and to keep his thoughts straight. ARTHUR ODD submitted an appropriate Fathers Day poem that Wallace had written to the "Weekly Reflex and it was published in the March 19, 1942 issue This is a reprint of that same poem. The stillness just wraps around me. And my thoughts travel here and there, Things one sort of forgets w hen in a crowd, Homey memories, rich and rare. I HAVE gone way back to childhood. Traveled over it step by step. Days when you carried me here and there, With arms clutched right round your neck. And then-a- s grew older And trudged away to school, How you taught me to deal both fair and square And live by the Golden Rule. 1 BUT VMiEN thought was a man 1 began to feel that 1 Knew heaps and heaps more than my Dad, And decided my own way to try. But all too soon 1 found that I was mistaken as could be; That Dad was the one who knew all along Just what was best for me. 1 1 1 SUNS EFFECT The suns rays can have an amazing affect in the shadow created and its affect on buildings. Such will be the case exterior Holt School. Itmay look white with the to the casual observer, a district art official says, but can radiate the spectrum of colors if observed in relation to the sun at different periods of the day. te SO TONIGHT as I walk out here alone And look at the years just past. 1 see things as they really are And knew its the good things that last. 1 suppose you are sleeping right now, dear Dad, And 1 wish that I could creep Right close to your pillow and tell you Of the love in my heart so deep. By December of 1943, Wallace S. Odd had been sent w ith a tank corp to South Africa. On Dec. 2 during the Battle of Tonburba he was hit in the arm with a piece of shrapnel. The metal cut into his jacet but didnt go into his flesh. His mother still has the letter Wallace wrote to her telling of incident. THE NEXT day, the U.S. soldiers were being driven back by the Germans. W'allace got hit in the side by another piece of shrapnel. The 88 mm shell fragment tore through his jacket, coveralls and sweat shirt but stopped without en- - To Report On Study Findings OBSERVATION AREA By TOM BUSSELBERG Students CLEARFIELD may have to wait a month or two after school starts to move into the new G. Harold Hold Elementary School in west Cleafield, but it will be worth it, school district officials have told the Clearfield City Council. WEATHER AND construction-related delays have set back the facility's opening from the August 25 school starting date to some time in October, Dr. Dean Penrod, buildings and grounds duper-viso- r, told the council in their regular session last week. In the interim, students will attend the Pioneer School, also in Clearfield, and other nearby schools. The Pioneer School is set to be closed upon completion of the Holt School. Dr. Penrod said students will attend the other schools in the same class units as will be used at the new school, minimizing confusion. THE BUILDING is unique in the Davis School District because cf its metal exterior construction. That was chosen to lessen the weight on the site. It was necessary to place large amounts of fill on the site and stabilize it before construction. The two story favility will feature a second floor hallway from which the lower level can be seen, including areas where student art displays may be placed, Dr. Penrod said. Tekton Construction of Salt Lake City is the contractor for the $3 million facility that includes what he termed a unique energy system utilizing aheat pumping system. Air can be circulated throughout the building and used to cool it in the summer. ADDRESSING the artistic values of the building was Ivan Comia, district art supervisor. Anything that is different is always difficult to accept. The building is different for Clearfield. But he said two philosophies of building exist. One attempts to blend the building into the surrounding landscape so it is hardly noticed. The other tries to accentuate the building and allow it to stand out. That is the philosophy used with G. Harold Holt School, he said. Noting the buildings planned white exterior he continued, Its unfortunate if you live around such a building and only see the white since shadows change the color (by the suns rays). The new Harold Holt School will feature a hallway-observatio- n deck that will allow patrons to look from the second to first level, where many art pieces from students are scheduled to be displayed. ANYTHING A child does in that building (artwise) will be obvious. Its done to comMr. plement those within, Cornia said, illustrating the changes the sun can make in a buildings appearance with slides of a French cathedral that ranged from orange to the same day. Providing additional interior light will be a skylight above the second story. It will be bounced off various points in the building providing interesting light combinations, he explained. It is designed to be a kind of celebration of the children who are in it. gray-i- . n THE SCHOOL will be located adjacent to Steed Park, a 17 acre Clearfield city project and Dr. Pehrod said the school playground will be available for community use during nonschool hours. It should be an outstanding facility. It will include a big toy piece of play equipment. We want to welcome the people to use the facility and enjoy it. The building will be available for public use in the evenings and weekends, as well, he said, similar to the policy for use of other schools throughout the district. The findings of the Wasatch Front Regional Councils regionwide Resource Recovery Study will be presented on June 25, at 9 a.m. in the Bountiful City Council Chambers, 790 S. 100 E Bountiful. ALL MEMBERS of the five solid waste boards in Salt Lake. Davis, and Weber counties have been invited to join with special interest groups, industrial representatives and interested citizens to hear the studys findings concerning the feasibility of resource recovery from household and commercial yvaste within the Wasatch Front area. The final draft report of the consultants findings will be delivered to the council on June 16. Copies will be available on a short term loan basis for individuals wishing to review the written report prior to the June 25 meeting. The copies may be obtained by contacting the council office. THE STUDY is funded by a grant from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to examine the feasibility of recovering energy or materials for recycling from municipal solid waste.

He then dug out a small hallway leading to the door, and then he fixed up the bed. To make it soft, he made a mattress of straw , six inches thick, under the blankets.

They he got an old 20 gallon German oil drum and that worked beautifully, except for the smoke and fire hazard. 1941-45- Professional Business Zone Created By The Layton City Council THE SERGEANT fixed that by adding an underground stovepipe section which LAYTON business zone has been approved by the Layton City Council.

Season Now In Effect Recognizing that the fire season is approaching, and that the forest, range and watersheds of Utah are vulnerable to damage by wildfire, Paul.Sjoblom, the state forester, has designated the period, June to Oct. 31, as a closed fire season. DURING THE during the closed season it shall be a misdemeanor to set on fire, or cause to be set on fire any inflammable material on any 1 forest, brush, range, grass, grain, stubble, or hay and without first securing a written permit from the state forester or a designated deputy.

Burning permits are not a means of restricting the public from open buringing. It is however a way by which all fire fighting agencies are made aware of your controlled bum, thus reducing the need and cost of fire fighters responding to a reported fire which turns out to be a controlled fire. A WRITTEN permit also allows the fire control officer a chance to meet with you to assist you in establishing guidelines for a safe controlled fire.

During the seige, the gunmen allegedly took as many as eight persons hostage, but released all of them unharmed before giving themselves up to police officers. Richard FARMINGTON D. Thomas, of Salt Lake City, has pleaded guilty to kidnapping one of eight hostages during a drug store robbery attempt last April 3. THE DEFENDANT pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of Chris kidnapping Davis of Laytov, during an attempted robbery of Kowley Drug Store. Thomas, an inmate at the Utah State Prison, appeared before Second District Court Judge J. Duffy Palmer. Following a agreement, the defendant agreed to plead guilty to one charge, kidnapping, with four other charges to be dismissed. However, the other charges, including armed robbery, will not be dropped until sentencing is completed and the alloted time for appeal has been expired, according to Judge Palmer. A SECOND defendant in the case. Samuel James Jr., also of Salt Lake City, and also an inmate at the prison serving time on another charge, was to appear before Judge Palmer Tuesday morning, grb g Your Right To Know THE JUDGE then set June 26 for sentencing.

It is the duty of a responsible free press to give you information about city council meetings, school board decisions, and county commission meetings, but you will never read about them if you permit them to hold their meetings behind closed doors. neaping Guild Safe Responsibility Of Parents By NANCY MOORE THURMOND It is obvious that the responsibility of keeping a child safe belongs to the parents. Abu- sive, neglectful parents, however, have the same potential to harm as kind, careful parents have to protect. CHILD ABUSE ir nothing to take lightly; it is a serious, so cial problem, a national epide- mic, more prevalent than good parents wish to admit. The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare says that more than one million children suffer neglect and abuse in the United States each year. OF COURSE, the statistics do not include those thousands of cases that are never re ported and go undetected each day. Most abused children live to remember their abuse and their abusers. What will the innocent victims of child abuse be like when they grow up, after having lived through the "battered child syndrome? IN ALL probability, they will be abusers themselves. It is almost impossible to give a child too much love. It is very easy to abuse a child in one fleeting moment of lost and one flare-u- p of self-contr- tional issue which has aroused public concern and angn launched . Government agencies and private organizations alike have campaigns to educate Americans about child abuse. temper. THE PARENT who intentionally and repeatedly abuses a child is one who does not know how to show and give love. This cruel, heartless parent obviously needs help.
