Or at least, so it may seem. For Utah is planning a concentrated effort on Landscape Improvement, and this will go hand in glove with our preparations for our 100th year. Governor Rampton has selected a Landscape Improvement Committee for 1970, and the Governor is urging action on the part of all citizens to participate in this clean up pro- gram, and declare landscape improvement year for 1970. This campaign is an extensive one and a large group of people have been given certain responsibilities, including, churches, radio, television, news media, municipal league, colleges, counties, council on local affairs. Chambers of Commerce, Boys' State leaders and Girls' State leaders. Following is a list of objectives of the Governor's Landscape Improvement campaign: TO MAKE THE MANMADE LANDSCAPE PERLY REFLECT WHO LIVE HERE. THE HIGH OF UTAH PRO- OF THE PEOPLE STANDARDS 1. To eliminate all junk cars from communities and from view of all highways in Utah. 2. To eliminate all dilapidated buildings and fences from the landscape, including barns, sheds, houses, business buildings, and other structures. 3. To clean up all vacant lots in communities end to keep vacant lots mowed and fence lines free from weeds. 4. To clean up and keep clean all home grounds, barnyards, and other ereas throughout the State, inside communities and outside communities. 5. To clean up, fix up, and paint up all homes, schools and other public buildings and other structures requiring paint. 6. To prepare all unpaved streets in communities to suitable condition for mowing end to mow periodically to keep weed growth subdued. 7. To smooth irrigation ditch banks in communities and keep them mowed or sprayed to control the weeds. 8. To keep all highways mowed and to treat fence lines along highways with a soil herbicide or a spray to control weeds. 9. To keep dll highways, streets, roads, parks, recreation areas, schools, eating stands, and other areas free from litter with a litter control program sponsored by youth through schools. To educate all citizens in litter control. IQ. To remove all dead, dying, and unsightly trees from the landscape in inhabited areas and along roads and high- ways. 11. To accelerate the rate of planting of shade trees on streets, in parks, and on other public properties. 12. To make all schools a suitable example by developing neat, well kept, attractive buildings and landscapes. To say we have none of these problems locally would be foolish indeed. To say we cannot overcome them would be lazy. Color Country as it is often particular area called could be the most beautiful place on earth, with the beauties of scenic grandeur that mother nature has blessed the countryside, if only man can do his part and keep his trash and litter in the right place. Let us back the Governor in his campaign for landscape improvement . . . we are the one's who will benefit most. This December SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS, Kanab, Utah 11, 1969 r- Kanabs Cowboys started off their encounter with Piute High last Fridaylike they may just double the Thunderbirds, by dropping in eight straight counters, before the visitors could get clicking. However, when the Piute squad did find the range they came back with six straight counters of their own. Kanab led most of of the game, but in the final minutes the Thunderbirds pulled ahead and won the contest by two, School 46-4- 8. One of the most difficult problems of the editor is to explain to some businessmen the difference between free advertising and news. The owner of a small speciality shop who said she "didn't believe in advertising" always made a point of sending the local newspaper a notice of her buying trips to New York. She was incensed when they were not printed. don't advertise in "Does this mean that just because your paper my name has been blacklisted?" The editor attempted to explain that the stories on the repeated buying trips were free advertising. "It is simply a method of informing people that you are acquiring new stock and personally making the selections." She demanded to know just when her name was news. "We gave a whole column to your daughter's marriage. We printed a front page story on the drive you started to improve the appearance of the downtown area. These stories probably helped your business indirectly. That we don't object to. They weren't designed simply to promote your store." The editor could have pointed out that often the line between free advertising and news often is too fine to split. When a local business, for instance, i undergoing a major overhaul which will affect the appearance and perhaps the trade of the community, a news story about the change is justified. It vvoud be justified free advertising. On the other hand the retailer would be foolish and not to back the news story with more details d in legitimate advertising, which would not be applicable to the news section.

In fact I have seen the time when some students applauded a play by the opposing team. Way back, ot 26-6- well-execut- 2-- intia-count- When I left Kanab for sevreal years, and worked in a college, I attended many college games and was disappointed at the poor sportsmanship sometimes displayed. However, I was more disappointed to come back home several years ago and find it, to be sure on a smaller scale, right here in my alma mater. Last weekend when the Piute team returned to the floor at halftime, their rooting section cheered wildly, but some local fans booed. I think it would be well for a member of the studentbody officiating board to ask at each game for the cooperation of all fans in showing the best of sportsmanship. I have also heard this idea from others. Schools in the region are being scored and judged by league officials as well as game officials on such things as lighting, floor conditions, gymnasium conditions, AND crowd reaction. y 2-- Kanab led at the end of each period except the final one). At the first quarter break In the they headed Piute last minutes of the second period Piute hit another six straight and whittled the Cowboy lead to 1 point, 2524 at half time. The third quarter was close and tied at one time, but Kanab pull4 at that period ed ahead break. The final 8 minutes was a hotly contested period. Midway in this quarter the Thunderbirds took the lead, and their fans went wild. With a few moments remaining Craig Haacke dropped in a free throw which tied the score. Then Piute scored a field goal and that was the final score of the game, and The Thunderbirds took home a victory. Randy Johnson of Piute led all scorers with 20 points. Rounding out the Cowboy score were: Don Corry and Craig Hulet with 11 each; Arlon Chamberlain with 9; Kerry Black, 8; Lamont Haycock, 4; Robert Ramsay, 2; and Craig Haacke, 1. In the Junior Varsity encounter the Piute team thumped the young Cowboys 18-1- 0. 38-3- 39-2- 6. The following night (Sat., Dec. 6) the Cowboys bounced back and dumped the Richfield Wildcats to the tune of 5345. The game with the Widcats was close most of the way with Kanab maintaining a lead most of the time. At the end of the first period, it was 13-- 8 for the Cowboys, with Corry carrying the load by accounting for six of the counters. The Richfield crew came back in the second quarter and tied the game up at one point, but the Cowboys wouldnt be denied and pulled out to a 9 lead at intermission. The Wildcats made another stab at the Kanab lead in the third period and came to within one point and setting up an trailing exciting final period. The pressure was on the Cowboys, particularly in the last three minutes, but generally they turned the pressure to their advantage, capitalizing on the Wildcats frantic desire to get the ball and score, and they pulled ahead to win the game 5345.

I believe we read this paper more and enjoy it better than the big papers they have around here. Its great to keep in touch with the happenings around Southern Utah. Athough we are miles away, we look forward to the SUN. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Geraldine Judd Boerup 50-3- er Kanab news notes Mr. and Mrs. Wester Lewis received word that their daughter DanNell has a new baby boy, bom Saturday, Dec. 6. school in the spirit of Christmas when they present their assembly Dec. 19. They will give their version of The Night Before Christ- inas. Everyone is really happy for Christmas and are counting the days until vacation. . . . Well, I guess Christmas is going to come whether we want it right away or not. Most towns have their decorations up, Christmas music can be heard, and Monday evening a light snow covered the ground and the temperatures have turned down somewhat. Highlight, or at least one of the highlights, of the Christmas sea- -' son in Kanab will have to be the dance revue put on by the students of Mrs. Norma Hulet last Saturday evening. Quite a number of youngsters participated in the event and their dancing was extremely well done, their costumes were bright and gay, and the kids themselves were personality plus. A bouquet to Mrs. Hulet for the very fine Christmas entertain- empty skull. I suggest that we all make booing taboo in our games locally, and lift our opinion in the eyes of others. Enjoyed a banquet in Fredonia a week ago, which was a Scouter Recognition and Awards affair. A very fine ham dinner was served and several awards were made to individuals and businesses for financial contributions to scouting in Kanab District. Seven individuals or businesses received certificates for having made donations of $25 or more, and three, Sherman Jensen, Don Elison, and Kaibab Industries received plaques for having made donations in the amount of $100 or more to the scouting movement. Congratulations to these people for their desire to help in the very important training of our young men. ment heat bills?

In several cases the keys were left in the unattended 'Standard For Oil 644-237- 1 Company of California that SPECIAL cars. CHRISMAS GIFT This, according to Kelly, is inviting trouble. He also states that leaving keys in an unattended automobile is a misdemeanor.

Last year some poor sportsmanship was shown by many of us. Perhaps officiating is not always what it should be, however, the only thing booing accomplishes is giving oneself, his team, his school and his community a bad name.
