Nebo Stake Day will be held under direction of the Nebo Stake presidency on Tuesday, August 9, at the Payson Mem- BY THE EDITOR CURFEW SIREN E NOT ANSWER TO PROBLEM In view of the urgent need for skilled workers in our society today, Nebo School District, with Eldon L. Reese as Vocational Director, under the 1963 Federal Vocational Act initiated eleven new two-hovocational programs in the three high schools last year, stated Supt. Russell N. Stans-fiel- d. These new courses were: Marketing, Office Occupations, Commerical Art, Drafting, Welding, Carpentry and Electronics Vocational Agriculture and Homemaking were continued and emphasized with increased enrollments. Many students took advantage of these vocational courses and are now on their way to occupational success. ur A recent follow-u- p of Utahs high school students shows the following: Out of 100 ninth grade 17 dropout of high students school; 25 graduate from high school without further training; 55 go on to college, but 30 of these drop out of college; only 25 of the original 100 go on to receive a Bachelors Degree. Thus 75 of the original 100 could profit much by vocational courses ..while still in high school by enrolling in vocational and technical school.

Also, according to "Utah Economic and Business Review the Occupational Outlook for Utah by 1975 shows the following trend: There will be a 22.4 increase in jobs for clerical workers vocational training needed; 21. 2 increase, professional workers; 5.7 increase, ed jobs 7.9 workers; increase, managers; 10.3 increase, salesmen vocational training needed; 18.9 increase, service vocational training needed; 15.6 increase, skilled, vocational training needed; 9.8 increase, semi-- s killed vocational training needed; 8.3 increase, unskilled; .7 increase, other. Next year the Districts vocational offering s will be continued and even expanded where enrollment justifies. In all Nebo District Junior High Schools a new semester course will be required. This IMPROVED Workmen are shown pouring at the Southwest corner of the Peteetneet improvement program which will make the to the students. Peteetneet School Grounds Improvements being made For the first time in the long history of Peteetneet Elementary School in Payson, a cement sidewalk, curb and gutter, have been laid on the street just south of the school lot that is composed of two entire city blocks. The school sits at the top of East Utah Avenue, overlooking the city and can be seen from many areas in the community. The cement work was accomplished through the cooperation of Payson City and District. trict is paying for materials, Nebo School The dis- while Payson City has furnished the labor. The project is only one of a broad program of improvement on the school grounds. Albert Bowen, Payson, supervisor of LEGION AUXILIARY MEETING There will be a special meeting for Payson Legion Auxiliary Unit 48 members to be held Monday, August 1, at 8 p.m. in the Legion HalL grounds and buildings, for the entire district, said he believes the people of Payson will be extremely proud of the area after it is completed. The entire south half of the school grounds was excavated last year and top soil has. recently been hauled to terraced levels where lawn and shrubs will be planted. The lower level will be for softball play. An area at the top Gf the has been grounds, south-eas- t, blacktopped for basketball play. The area was increased on installation and 12,000 feet were laid where only 10,000 had at first been planned. A retaining corner wall on the south-we- st of the grounds will be built with a backstop for softball games. It is planned to eventually move the flagpole from the west side of the school to the east side, where there is level ground for patriotic activities. The work is expected to be finished this year, said Mr. Bowen. Recently an article was published in a daily newspaper regarding the curfew I felt when reading the article that it fit the situation in Payson as well as it did the situation for which it was written. It seems that here when the curfew siren is blown each night at 10 p.m. that it is a signal for the teenagers to course invaluable entitled, Basic Occupational PreparaIt will orient tion Course. the student in the following: 1. Desirable personal abilities interests and other qualifications essential for job success in various fields. 2. Educational and training programs at high school which are desirable and or essential for effective preparation for a job. 3. Desirable personal characteristics dragging Main Street and honking horns. Actually the siren at 10 on Friday and Saturday nights means nothing. The ordinance as passed by the Payson City Council Nov. 11, 1965, provided that teenagers under 16 years of age be off the street by 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday nights. On Friday and Saturday night, they have an extra hours grace until 11 p.m. The ordinance as passed by Payson was a standard ordinance The article as published follows: es- sential for a worker. 4. Job opportunities and job outlook at local, state and national levels. 5. How to apply for a job and make advancements on the jobs. 6. Laws directly concerned with employment in various occupational fields. 7. Worker responsibility to management, and managements responsibility to workers. 8. Field trips and personal appearances of successful workers before the class. In Springville a new three-ho- ur course in Simulated Office work will be taught by Eldon L. Reese. This course will orient students in the following area: 1. Receptionist, 2. Record Keeping, 3. Secretary and steno, 4. Office Management, 5. Duplicating. In Payson, a new two-hp- ur Drafting course will be initiated by George Cheever, who had done as excellent job in one-ho- ur Drafting and two-hoCarpentry courses in the past. All Marketing and Office Occupational course for advanced students in shorthand will both be taught by June Brown, new to the District, but an e perienced teacher. Support of all business men in giving these Marketing students part-tijobs, is solicited. Students trained in the fine art of selling should help every business improve its image and thus increase its profits. In Spanish Fork the same program as last year will go forward. Mrs. Larsen had one of the states most outstanding Marketing and Office Occupation programs, with some 52 students on part-tim- e jobs and school related courses. Nebo School District has the finest Vocational Educational personnel available. Parents should encourage their sons and daughters to take advantage of the many opportunities available to them. As the above Occupational Outlook indicated, there will be great demand for skilled workers in the future. Also, as the follow-u- p of high school students shows, vocational education is basic for about 75 of the ninth grade students. The three high schools, under the direction of their principals, Harold L. Bartlett, Powell and J. Angus Lynn Christensen, will run courses wherever the need exists and the enrollment justifies the courses, stated Supt. Russell N. Stansfield. Where the enrollment is too low to justify a class the district will permit a student to attend the Central Utah Vocational School in Provo and still graduate from high school. Members of the Vocational Advisory Committee for Nebo School District are: R. B. Money, Spanish Fork; Gale A. Hansen, Payson; Mrs. McKay Mrs. Christensen, Payson; Hugh Hjorth, Springville; Dr. Mark Lewis, Spanish Fork; Max Knight, Springville, Dan Bates, Provo; . Harold L. Bartlett, Springville. ur start CGBFEW If teenagers have their way, curfew shall not ring tonight, or any other night, for that matter. HONORED AT SENIOR CITIZENS DAY George C.

Farewell Sunday Farewell Testimonial Dennis Ray Heelis honoring will be held Sunday, July 31, at 5 p.m. in the Santaquin-Tint- ic Stake Center. Elder Heelis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Heelis, is a graduate of Payson High School and LDS Seminary. Representing Santaquln First ard in the Northern Mexican Mission, he enters the Mission A Home August 15. With no more pencils, no more books to occupy their evening hours the youngsters Hock to even the smallest center of town to hack around" with whatever group happens to be hacking at the moment. Completely unsupervised, and considerably less inhibited than their elders, they proceed to kick the gong around until somebody blows the whistle. They swirl and eddy about the public streets like an untidy tide, meeting their peer groups on incoming waves with each turn of their noisy sea. Then trouble happens once, or even more than once, and some founding father, who has ,been wondering for veeks how to get his name before the electorate again, calls for a curfew. Then the battle is joined. The kids scream that it is unfair, that it discriminates against those with no trouble on their minds, and does nothing to stop those determined to damage property or worse. A curfew for teenagers, however however broad its interpretation, is just another crutch for parents who lack the gumption to set their own rules. Its another hedge for law enforcement that wants to ignore a problem it is not handling adequately. A curvew sweeps the streets clean of the reminder that a vast source of energy is going to waste. It sweeps under the rug the simple truth that enterprise is being crushed the weight of a stupid limitation with no real meanbe-le- ath ing. It absolves parents of the necessity of training their children to not only stay out of trouble, but to avoid the semblance of trouble by a careful selection of their friends and their activities. Most of all it relieves them of the trouble of darned well seeing to it that they carry out their orders. It absolves the towns and of providing adequate protection against those who would be trouble no matter what was planned for them, but mostly it saves them the trouble of making any sort of concession to the truth that here are thousands of future citizens with absolutely nothing to do with their time. A curfew, in short, is an easy answer for those who want to avoid the questionl cities M ain event of the day will be the serving of a barbecue beef dinner beginning at 5 p.m, A program will be presented during the evening and concessions for children will be conducted earlier in the after- noon. Tickets will be sold throughout the stake by the Seventys and High Priests Quorums.
