Show SOUTHERN UTAH NEWS - Thursday, March 10, 1SS3 Paga Three Fredonia T own Council The Fredonia Town Council met for their regular first meeting of the month with all members present except Tony Judd. Guests present were Preston Brooksby, Dick Hunk-inEdith Holmes and Dennis Patton. Dick Hunkins led off the meeting representing the Fredonia Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber would like the City to have an official seal that represented the town on badges, seals, stationery and police cars, etc. The chamber suggested the town hold a contest for the design to be used. The contest would be open to all ages of people living within the town limits. A committee was suggested to handle the contest. It was thought the Centennial Committee might do it. In general, the council was in favor of the suggestion. Dick Hunkins told the council he was supposed to present a petition to them signed by senior citizens and others requesting the town to take over the Senior Citizen program. He did not have the petition bit could produce it later. He also mentioned there was a rumor that the town had already chosen the person who would handle the program and asked if it was true. According to Mayor Judd, no one has been chosen. When, and if, the town takes over the program a study will need to be made to see if the present office staff can handle the additional work, or have more help hired. If additional staff is needed the position will be advertised and applications accepted. Library Dennis Patton, an architect from St. George, was present to show plans and drawings of the new library he has planned. The council was pleased with the changes he had made, such as moving the building closer to the street with parking in the rear, 30 spaces. The library will be 32 x 64 feet with 2,100 square feet of space. It will have a full s, , f4 p , . r GIRL SCOUTING Rising to Greater Heights Is the theme of Girl Scout Week, 2.

Its a different state, a different town with a new Courthouse and a new generation making memories that can never be demolished, like talking with Sheriff Riddle on the parking lot, getting the license plates for their first new car - paying a traffic fine to Judge Mosdell who makes paying them not TOO painful. Memories that will last throughout their lifetime. My "Old Courthouse is no longer there on Courthouse Square, but the memory will never fade. It will always be a very dear part of my life.

New carpet is needed in the front portion, and a wall needs to be removed to enlarge themiddle office. A proposal was made, and agreed to, concerning the purchase of a new typewriter for the town clerk. Prices had been compared and the clerk was instructed to purchase the machine. A sidewalk is needed from the street to the office. Gerk Kimball was asked to obtain some bids on Councilman Dean carpet. Heaton said he would donate time in getting the sidewalk in. Items on the agenda that were tabled included Power Franchise, Water Rates, A proposal from a landscape architect, with prices quoted, for the landscaping of the new system, sprinkler library, shrubs and plants.

Mayor Judd asked that a letter of appreciation be sent to the MIA group that swept the main street sidewalks. Also a letter to the Fredonia Chamber of Commerce for their work in obtaining Dr. Mears, and a letter to Dr. Mears for deciding to come to Fredonia. Mayor Judd stated there is a need for an annual town cleanup. It could be just one day with everyone pitching in.

People will be asked to register their birthdates with Joy Jordan. Street beautification has hit a snag with the State as the culprit. All the state help promised turned into twelve trees that the town is not sure they want on Main Street. It is not known how much leeway the town has when it comes to landscaping along the street. It is hoped the project will involve all residents in town.

PTA Corner PUT ACADEMICS FIRST In years past, we as parents have not had to worry about our children getting into college or vocational school. It was a matter of, If I have the money, my child can go. It is not that way anymore. In the past two years the colleges have added new courses in science, math and languages in order to gain entrance. Now they are talking about restricting enrollment. What does that mean to you and me? This means that MUCH MUCH MORE emphasis should be placed on our academics or school work. This means that if your elementary child does not learn his math, science, spelling and language, he may be resigned to a blue collar or laborer job with no hope of rising further up the ladder. We, as parents, can help with this dilemma. Find out from the teacher weekly or monthly (not just twice a year r Conferat ences) where our child needs help, if he is learning and memorizing his times tables, if he is up on his homework and then follow through. It takes about thirty minutes a night before the childs bedtime to have a good, program. This also teaches good study habits which are essential to all future formal educational successes they will have. Students who have gone on to college or vocational school have come back and stressed "Teach those kids how to study while in elementary and high school. Dont let them get away with "I don't have any homework!" Make them study. Demand that they study and develop good study habits. Parent-Teache- e, Good study habits from an program reinforces in the childs mind that education is not merely a function of school and teachers but is an ongoing process in the home. But, you say, "our teachers are paid to teach our children. Let them do it!" Our teachers are paid to do that part of teaching from 8:30 a m. until 3:00 p.m. Most of our teachers in the elementary have approximately 30 to 32 students. Please put yourself in their shoes for a moment. would you like Imagine-ho- w to have 30 to 32 kids at your house (boys & girls) EVERYDAY, from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. and still try to give each of those students the individual attention they need to learn and memorize each thing that is required? Think about it, please. Academics and learning are the KEY to their future! PTA SAFETY PROGRAM With the murder of the 11 year-old girl up north, we are giving each child in the elementary school a small booklet that they can color, reminding them of the few safety rules they can follow regarding the things they should use in their everyday lives. Do you realize that it isn't only Stranger Danger they should be aware cf, but of someone they may see at public places frequently that are over friendly and try to ingratiate themselves to the children. Go over the booklet with your children. A reminder every once in a while never hurts. by Marie Barney Safety Commissioner in Lehi.
