Show 1 6 THE PAYSON CHRONICLE Campaign success Even though enjoying the most successar ful drive in the history of Christmas Seal campaigns in the state, Utah campaign director Royden G. Derrick reminds those who have not c ontribut ed yet that although the Chr i st m as season is past there are still three months remaining before the drive ends. As of December 31, $51,111.14 had been contributed, said Derrick. We are quite elated by this response, but we still have a goal of $58,900 to reach by our March 31 deadline." Funds raised this year, 93 per cent of which remain in the state to support local projects of the Utah Tuberculosis and Health Association, will be used to fight emphysema, tuberculosis, air pollution and cigarette smoking. The UTHA is increasing its effort in the field of air pollution, hoping to create a public awareness of the problem in Utah and to suggest guidelines by which the public may act to correct worsening conditions. As an early step toward fulfilling this committment, the association encourages public attendance at hearings scheduled during this month throughout the state to establish criteria regulating omission of sulfur dioxide. The meetings are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, January 6 Price; Wednesday, January 7 - Moab; Friday, January 9 -Salt Lake City; Wednesday, January 14 -Cedar City; Thursday, January 15 - Richfield; Tuesday, January 27 r Vernal; Friday, January 30 - Logan. fund-raisi- ng MEXICO holiday Departs February 6 Returns February 14 Call MILDRED .

Reidhead From the desk of the Superintendent This is the first in a series of articles which will attempt to keep the citizens of Nebo District better informed about the schools and answer questions which arise periodically. May I recommend that you file these short articles for reference. They will provide you with ready answers to questions which you might have from time to time. I shall attempt to provide both information of a general nature and specific information which will give a break-dow- n on district expenditures, new programs in the district, new educational trends across the nation, and answer specific problems as they arise. Mypersonal feeling is that the schoolsbelongtothepeople, that decisions must be made by the elected school board for the benefit of all the children in Nebo District, and that it is our responsibility to keep the citizenry informed about their schools. Every school patron should know the members of the Board of Education. The following men have been elected to four year terms on the Nebo Board of Education: Glenn Coffman - Springville, Lynn Crook - Santaquin, Dr. Robert Hogan -Payson, Dr. William Sorensen - Spanish Fork and Ray Whiting - Mapleton. These men are responsible to establish policies for the operation of the district. They serve overlapping terms. Three board positions will be on the November ballot in 1970. Traditionally, there has been low voter interest in school board elections, despite the fact that usually the school board is the largest employer within the district boundary. The decisions they make probably affect more people than any other board or corporation. usually exchange gifts, do thoughtful acts for each other and communicate by letter, telephone or in person. Even though they may not see eye to eye all of the time they seem to temper their feelings and prejudices to the point that they can join in the festivities and spirit of the season and let by gones be in the for a short time at least. background Many people will reflect for weeks to come over some of the lovely cards and letters they received and recaU incidents in the past where they shared good times with the senders. Couples who live alone often spend the next few weeks in remembering how lovely the trees and lights were this holiday season and also thinking of trees and lights and experiences of the past. Grandparents who enjoyed the companionship of grandchildren and children during the holidays will relive the experiences again and again. Most people did find enjoyment in the holidays but few hated to see them really end. Countless mothers have made the comment that they could hardly wait until the children were back in school. To many of them it seemed that the holidays lasted a little bit too long. They often said that they had really enjoyed the vacation for a few days but it seemed that the children were beginning to get bored and restless and, out of sorts and tired of even the new games and toys. Folks who entertained guests during the holidays were in some cases glad to get back to normaL As one lady commented on it, hard to get up smiling day after day and be congenial and pleasant when you are tired and nervous and have a headache, it will be nice to just be myself and be grouchy or sick or lazy if Its feel like it. So far as I am concerned it was a wonderful holiday and it didnt last too long, I enjoyed my family and friends, guests, the cards and letters and remembrances, the decorations, acts of love and everything, but Im glad to get back to normal.

(A farmer had to be hardworking to raise peas back in the days of the pitch-fork- ). I especially remember one man with whom I became very friendly. That feller had the worst habit of swearing of any person Ive ever met. When he started spinning off those long horrible oaths, that I figured hed stayed up all night to figure out, I was almost frightened that God would strike him down dead. He seemed to color up every sentence with some new approach of using the Lords name in vain, or a new use of vulgar words or a combination of the two. In other words that feller swore like hell. Fall came and I attended a social function and there I saw my swearing friend. He looked pretty good in his store cloths. I had never thought of his owning a Sunday suit as he looked so at home in his overalls, but there he was even better looking than I was. The first thought that came to my mind was: How can this character get by in a dance hall without embarrassing himself and others with that colorful language that he was so fond of? But you know my wife and I walked up to his wife and liim and the guy had a good sense of humor; his language was good, in fact, after my wife had danced with him she commented on his intelligence and good manners. Now this little story brings me to my That subject for today;Discipline. vulgar gentleman proved he could control his vulgarity when he took a notion, but he had more fun not taking a notion. It proved all of us, under certain conditions, can control our language, our tempers, our appetites, our thinking, our etc., our etc., our etc. In fact, in my humble opinion, I would classify discipline as being among the top ten important words in the English language. It is not a word tobe used by school teachers only; all of us have a use for it. We must discipline ourselves to pay tithing, to fast, to push ourselves away from the table before we over eat, to stop talking about our neighbor, to stop living beyond our incomes, to tell ones wife he loves her, to refrain from telling his neighbors wife that he loves her, to hold hoinenight, to read the Book of Mormon, regardless of creed, etc. etc. Lately Ive been trying to discipline myself into liking this modern jungle-lik- e music and modern art, but Ive decided one should only discipline to better not worsen himself, but I suppose that learning to be broad minded about all these activities that we dont understand is a type of discipline. Im beginning to believelike the feller who : said that anything that is fun is either fattening, immoral or against the law. So, I suppose that the things we enjoy doing takes less discipline than doing the things that arent so much fun (Figure that one out Old Chap). a Celelbratroe 90-da- y ROUND THE Roth' With the holidays over and things back to their normal pattern it is a time of reflection and memories.

Y N. Y.. 10017 Q. I know I should have health insurance, but Ive always been afraid Til be rejected. I don't know why really because I'm in pretty good health and haven't had any major Illnesses or operations. Exactly what does an Insurance company consider when you apply for health insurance? A. Mien a person applies for individual health insurance, a number of factors areevaluated and compared against known standards. For instance, age is a prime factor, since the chance of illness or injury is usually greater with advancing age. Middle aged or older people are also more to degenerative susceptible diseases. Sex is another factor. There is a higher incidence of disability among women than mea However, men have more accidents. Women are prone to certain diseases, and of course, lose time from their jobs due to maternity. The present physical condition of an applicant is determined through a medical examination. A number of questions in the insurance application relate to medical history, since prior illnesses may affect the future health of a policyholder. Some occupations are riskier there are also envthan others ironmental hazards In certain exposure to dusts and jobs poisons, for instance. So far as a policy for you is concerned, the decision will be made on your individual circumstances. If, however, you are in good health, not severely overweight or underweight and don't have a risky job, you probably wont have any trouble getting the health Insurance you need. s Hi and Happy 1970! I suppose that aU your Christmas decorations have been boxed up and put away for another year. I thought I had all mine gathered up, but I discovered the other day I had forgotten the bells on the front door and Elaines little Santa Claus on the fireplace shelf. All the gifts have been put away in closets, drawers and cupboards and the last of the snow flocking has been vacumed up. I was so glad to get our tree out. Its strange isnt it - everyone can hardly wait to get the tree up and by the time its been indoors for about 2 12 or 3 weeks or maybe longer, it begins to take on a monster image and it seems so good to get rid of it. I wonder how it would be to have two or three trees in your house like some people do. Theyre probably glad to get them out, too. Well, kids will be kids, and the other ask day, Elizabeth, our little me very seriously what special day was there in January just like, Well, She Christmas is over - whats next? and her sister, Elaine, got some stenciling sets for Christmas and there just happened to be a heart in it, so during the last couple of days of their vacation, when the Christmas spirit had sorta worn off, homemade valentines seemed to be the big interest. But me - Im going to enjoy January. Between the usual daily routines and getting our records ready for income tax, I hope to get a few of the things done that Ive had tucked away in the corner of my mind in the department labeled, Ill do it when I have time. The first project I hope to work on is organizing our colored slide pictures. We have boxes and boxes of them and every once in awhile , Ive let the kids have a picture show and boy are they mixed up.

The new year of was ushered in on rather peaceful terms this year, dont you think! What I mean is there were relatively no bad accidents, parents fires, shootings or other tragic incidents that may have marred the holidays in our area. This in itself is something for which we all can be very humble and thankful for. It only takes a short look around for us to realize how very fortunate we are and to be living in the Land of Zion. Lets give our thanks to God for these blessings and try to do less and less complaining. How many of you have done the same thing that you did on previous New Years?

Our Christmas Day included a trip to the hospital to visit my mother who unfortunately slipped and fell and had to spend a few days there. Until something like this happens you dont stop to realize that there are man people who do not have the opportunity to enjoy a normal Christmas.

For a Years tions which were made in a grand flurify of excellence only to be broken the very next day. This seems to be the thing that happens every year without fail. Its almost as certain as death and taxes. How about resolving to do things silently to yourself and then see that you keep the promises made. If they are then broken, you are only letting yourself down. Hey you know this just might work. If there is anyone you hate to hurt it is yourself so maybe there is hope that this will work. There are a few resolutions which would benefit all of us, providing we keep them. 1. Be Humble: There are very few persons in this day and age who know the meaning of this word. Lets resurrect it. 2. Be thankful: Its one of the easiest things for you to do if you really want to. 3. Be courteous: The days of chivalry may not be dead; they may have just had a bad sick spell, Lets try and find out. 4. Be generous: Nobody likes a miser; he doesnt even like himself. Do you? ; 5. Be understanding: If everyone in the world would try a little harder to understand how another person ticks there would be a lot less breaking of springs. 6. Be cheerful: Who do you know that can drown out a happy face and a bright, whistling tune? 1 thought of them too, but lets not follow their example. 7. Be faithful: Have faith first, in the Lord, Trust him. He will never let you down. Secondly, have faith in others and lastly, have faith in yourself. 8. Be respectful: Have a lot of for if you do there will be no reason for shame. Respect others, if you feel they deserve it. 9. Be firm. If you make a decision, and you feel it is right, stick to it. Dont ' let anyone talk you out of it. 10. Last, but certainly not least, dont be afraid to love someone, Put a little love into your life. Remember, the old proverb, As Ye sow, so shall ye reap." It makes sense and remember too, that everyone needs to know that they are loved by someone and I mean in the good meaning of the word, Love. One good saying that will always be a benefit to you is, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, The good Mr. and Mrs. John Kirk and son, Kent; Mr. and their daughter and Mrs. Phil Thompson, and three children enjoyed a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Kirk at Slaterville, Utah son-in-la- , present with a future.
