The high school concert and jazz band both performed. Members of the American Fork High School band were in concert in Kanab last week and thrilled local music fans with their extraordinary performance. The featured Hatch Reports on Funeral services for Alvira B. Ford were held Monday, May 2, at the Kanab South LDS Chapel. She died Thursday, April 28, at the Kane County Hospital in Kanab, after a long illness from cancer.

Nuclear Freeze, Draft percent oppose a freeze if it would leave the Soviet Union with greater military power. nuclear freeze. The draft. Salvador. The defense budget. As we address these and other national security issues, its important to remember one thing: no matter how they're resolved, their greatest impacts will be on our young people. Our young would have the most to lose in the event of a nuclear war. Our young would be most directly impacted by a resumption of the draft. So what do our young people think about these issues? That's what I asked a group of 300 Utah high school students recently. Their answers are illuminating. Fifty-nin- e percent of these young Utahns oppose an immediate nuclear freeze; 81 A El "1 agree with how Reagan is handling our defense. Another question asked whether the United States should continue the policy of opposing increased Soviet or Cuban influence in Central or South America. Eighty-thre- e percent said yes. On the more specific question of whether we should continue to provide military and economic aid to El Salvador, 73 percent said yes. "The American people cant let Communism invade Central America," said a student from Viewmont High. Fifty-eigpercent favor a draft if the milpeace-tim- e itary's manpower levels drop too low; the same percentage said women should not be included in that draft. A Lehi senior suggested a compro- - The United States must maintain strength both militarily and reputationally, said a young woman from Ogdens St. Joseph High. We cannot let others manipulate us into a disadvantageous position. The high costs of our military budget were the subject of another question; 83 percent answered that the increased defense spending President Reagan has proposed is a useful incentive to negotiate arms treaties. Eighty-five percent approve of the Presidents general handling of defense issues. I believe in a strong military to protect our freedom," said a young man from Taylorsville High. I feel that women mise. should be drafted, but not into combat situations," she said. A student at Layton High, on the other hand, strongly opposed a draft. I have other things to do after 1 graduate, he said. Although these comments and opinions are not part of a scientific poll, they do reflect a lot of thought and feeling on issues that are vital to the future of our country and our young people. They also reflect a lot of support for the President's effort to mestic relations help (divorce and child custody are two exampls of domestic relations). Some county governments in Utah have decided to use some federal and state social services monies to pay private attorneys a small fee to help poor persons. The Legal Center for the Handicapped in Salt Lake City helps disabled persons establish their rights, in areas like education and access to community services. And many attorneys who usually charge fees will provide free services (sometimes called "pro bono" e resiservice) to dents in many kinds of legal matters. More than 200 such private attorneys have volunteered over the last few years to take client referrals from Utah Legal Services and the Lega Aid Society. The lawyers working for the listed above organizations provide help in Civil legal matters. Another type of legal matter is a criminal matter.

Fyfe When we look at the calendar these days, my wife and I realize that we have now been living in Southwestern Utah for over ten months, and still we say there is so much to see. Why, we have not even been to Bryce Canyon yet! What about skiing at Brianhead? Will we get to Zion Park soon for a trail ride? One can see we are still eager for exploring our natural surroundings and all they have to offer. Amidst our frustration, however, we recently managed to have two more experiences unique to the area. The first was a trip to the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Although we had seen them from the air last autumn, we had never put our toes into the softness of the pink sand. Early in April we decided to give it a try. The trip was prompted by the ten-davisit of our son, his wife, and our grandson from Chicago. Our son, Douglas, an attorney, and his wife, Kerry, a school teacher, always look for new adventures in this part of the country. After they spent a few days in Las Vegas, when we were forced to babysit with sixteen month old Geoffrey, they returned to Kanab for some rest. In a conversation with Joe and Marjory Wolfe, however, they soon hit upon the idea of a picnic at the dunes. Their ulterior motive was to have Joe drive his CJ-to the park and try to in the jeep. So it desert the negotiate developed the rest of us in our car followed Joe, Doug, and Kerry in the jeep to our arid adventure. At that time of year we had the park practically to ourselves, although later on a young couple came with skis, apparently to test their skill on sand. In order to try their luck on the dunes, Joe and Doug changed the rear tires on the jeep to oversize paddle tires with low poundage, the better to climb some imposing dunes out in the wasteland. It was not long before Joe had our son and his wife in a whirl over the brilliant landscape. We later learned that Kerry kept her eyes closed on some parts of the roller coaster ride. As I held Geoff ! tried to explain what his mommy and daddy were doing out in the wild with a daredevil driver like Joe Wolfe. Marjory y 7 four-wheel- and calmly took pictures and told Marion was Joe me not to worry. Finally to where we stood, the chugging jeep up after disappearing several times in the wzantM grandeur of all that sand. He Marion and me to go on the next ride. Ut course we did and then learned why some Kerry shut her eyes. In climbing could we all dunes at an alarming angle, see ahead was a clear blue Utah sky. Then crossing the ridge we could make out only a sea of sand in front of us. We feared the worst - a rollover. Joe, fearing nnthino assured us we were safe and with the brought us back to rendezvous others. The picnic? Oh yes, we cooked hot 1 to dogs in a chill wind and left by p m. Sahara. our in from the recover sojourn Our second recent expedition was much more placid but it begs for a sequel . Several days after our loved ones had returned to Chicago, the Fyfes decided to the go fishing. Of course, we talked Wolfes into going to Lake Powell for bass. Armed with our gear, our Utah licenses with the Arizona stamps, newly purchased anchovies for bait, and our lunch, we reached Antelope Point, where we would fish from the rocks. Over four hours later we had been checked by a game warden, used all of our bait, lost two hooks, and watched three bass being pulled in by others. Nary a nibble, however, for Joe and me. I was just getting the hang of casting after thirty years when we decided to call it a day. Vowing to come back soon to prove we could catch fish, we counted the day a success because of the gorgeous weather, the breathtaking scenery, the companionship of our wives, a delicious lunch, and one most unusual event. Once in the act of casting, 1 caught sight of something on the surface of the lake just to my left. . Had a bass dared to swim so close with its head above water? beaver, Not at all. It was a good-sizewho had slipped into the water down the steep rocks without our knowledge. When last seen he was well out into deep water paddling toward the dam to greet numerous fishermen in their boats. I could not imagine hooking a beaver, but it would make a great fish story. We will have to go some to outfish that beaver, but we will try. d Grandma Rides Aside by Lola Esplln Here in the West sidesaddle riding individuals and groups are few and far apart-I'- m learning. I have just returned from an unrelated convention trip to Anaheim, Calif., where 1 enquired briefly of two cab drivers and a motel manager if there were any riders in the area. If any had appeared in their parades, they were from out of town, they all said. In Riverside a couple of my column readers and very gracious hosts, Joe and Nellie Dean Abernathy (I went through school in Kanab with her), met me at the bus depot and treated me to a most pleasant visit, gourmet food, overnight lodging and tour in the area. Among other places, they took me to Joanies Saddles and Tack Shop on Van Buren Road. Joanie had one sidesaddle hanging high on the East wall in her shop. It had a kelly blue lining which told me it had been rebuilt in recent years, but it again needed more repairs. The leaping tion in California. When I asked her if she ever wore an she answered, apron, Whats that? I have learnSideed from the saddle Association in Ohio that the girls there wear them in horse shows- -a safer substitute for the long skirt. My one inquiry in Las Vegas revealed that only two local girls ride sidesaddles there and only in their horse shows. The other entries all come from out of town. So there may be no organization in Nevada, yet. However, there is a group in Miles City, Montana, according to the Western Horseman. I'll learn more about it as time goes on, and 1'U locate more individuals, too. Mid-We- horn was broken. The saddle was for sale, but I didn't want another rebuilding project.
