Show Tf t; Monument dedicated to lake resorts A monument to the Utah Lake Resorts was dedicated Thursday by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers at a ceremony near the entrance to the Utah State Park at Provo. The monument was constructed by Lawrence Tuckett and his son George of Spanish Fork. Rock from the monument is from Lincoln Beach, it is colorful and rustic looking with various shades of moss clinging to it. It is artistically designed, a monument of distinction. Congratulations to the Tucketts for the fine job. The Daughters of Pioneers are proud of it. The Tucketts also gave a liberal donation toward the monument. The piece of ground was donated to the DUP organization for the monument by Kenneth Olsen of Provo. It was financed by donations from members of the entire Utah County DUP organization. The unveiling of the monument was by Mildred Ream, Spanish Fork. President Florence Boyer, Springville, gave the history of the early resorts and presented the monument to President Kate B. Carter, of the Central Company, Salt Lake City. President Carter then presented it to Mayor Verl G. Dixon of Provo, who accepted it with pride and promised that the city would protect it. The dedicatory prayer was offered by Utah County Commissioner Stanley D. Roberts. The opening prayer was given by Ray Murdock, Provo city commissioner. The Dixon Junior High School band, directed by Melvin Billings played for the ceremony. James Gilbert sang a solo The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and Scout Troop 779 of the Sunset Ward posted the colors. Congregation sang with the band the desk of the Superintendent From At the close of this school year, I would like to make a report of the success of our Nebo School District Instructional Media Center. The growth of this, department since its beginning in 19G6 has been phenomenal. The services being rendered to your boys and girls as well as to our teachers have grown in the same proportion. As you remember, the I.M.C. began operating out of the second floor of the Salem School. It was soon apparent that if we were to increase the number of materials for use in the schools an expansion was inevitable. It was therefore decided to do some minor remodeling of the Lincoln School in Springville and move the I.M.C. to that new location. The move was completed in June of 1963. Also during last year the I.M.C. started a new program of purchasing, warehousing and distributing school supplies, equipment and furniture. The old Industrial Arts building at the Springville Middle School was and shelves, cabinets and storage areas were constructed to facilitate the storage of these supply items. This facility has made it possible for our district to purchase items in large quantities directly from the manufacturer rather than from retail outlets in Salt Lake. This program has given your schools instant delivery on most supply items thus helping teachers and students to have better education as well as to save Nebo District an estimated $20,000.00 per year. This past year also saw the beginning of district centralized purchasing. This is being done through the I.M.C. which has the facility to warehouse, deliver and account for items in our schools through the district data processing department. You may have noticed our new district I.M.C. delivery van. This van is on daily delivery from our I.M.C. and District Office to each school, carrying supplies, A.V.A. equipment and materials and intradistrict mail. This delivery system is a real asset to our district. This past year saw a change in our district print shop. No longer are we just interested in doing the districts professional printing but we also feel a need to bring high school students in to give them training in this specific area. This program will give strength to our vocational programs in the district. Probably the most important aspect of the I.M.C. is the A.V.A. materials and equipment it provides for teachers and students of our district. During the past year every school in our district ordered from the I.M.C. materials to be used in instruction. Our teachers placed 19,871 orders for materials during the past school year. The I.M.C. reports an estimated usage of its films, filmstrips, pictures, etc. at 80,000. Approximately three-fourtof our teachers are now using this media with your boys and girls. We are certain that children learn more, learn faster and retain more when they use these types of materials. As I came into the district I tried to develop a feeling of the community-schoconcept. This, as you know, we have done with our building use program. Next year our I.M.C. will operate under the same philosophy. We want you to feel free to use the I.M.C. and the services rendered ol by it. In as much as this department is relatively new to most citizens, we want you to feel free to visit the I.M.C. and talk to the staff there. They will be glad to show you through the building and explain the program to you.

The company will be presented an E.H. Harriman Gold Medal Award at a luncheon to be held June 10 in the New Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C.

G. Dixon, Provo; Mildred E. With an employee casualty rate comprised mostly of injuries of 6.40 per million man hours, Union Pacific was far below the rail industry average which is annually around 12.0 casualties per million man hours of work. Compared with other modes of transportation, manufacturing and the contract construction industry, the railroad industry has been the safest in which to work for several years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 1967, the last full year for which figures are available, railroads had an employee casualty ratio of 12.1 per million man hours compared with 20.7 for air transport, 31.7 for trucking, 14.0 for manufacturing and 26,0 in the contract construction industry. Eighteen other railroads in five groups will also be honored at the luncheon for their outstanding safety records in 1969. The selections were made by an awards committee headed by Harold F. Hammond, President of the Transportation Association of America. tart on a dime guests. The DUP Monument committee wish to give special thanks to Paul Dixon, Spanish Fork, who took pictures for the newspapers and Leonard Banks, Radio KOVO for the PA system and recording of the ceremony.
