These newsy letters are written during the early days in December and ready to mail too so that they can be really personal, thoughtful and encouraging as she intends them instead of a hurried note. She plans her home and tree decorations early too and has them all carefully stored close at hand so that she can get the most from the experience. She loves to think up and use different ways to decorate and folks are always anxious to see what lovely schemes she will try each year.

Community school program starting The term new approaches to education seems almost to have become an overused term, but a program called, The Community School," is everything that the term implies. Great ideas usually seem to have unusually insignificant beginnings, and such was the case for this program. The incident which sparked the birth of the program was a rather ordinary happening, but one which was to become most significant in the history of educational development in America. The two pioneer thinkers involved were Mr. Charles Mott, a inventor of key automotive component parts, and a junior high school physical education teacher. The teacher had been very much upset to see young children playing in the busy street late one afternoon, because the school grounds were locked up. The teacher happened to be playing tennis a day or two later with Mr. Mott and he asked him what would happen if General Motors were to shut down their production plants every day from 3:45 until 8:00 a.m. the next morning and commonths in the pletely for summer? Mr. Mott quickly realized what the educator was saying and was very much concerned about the waste of precious capitol investment and skilled personnel Mr. Mott and the educator then organized a plan for promoting the idea of the community school. It was decided that the key man in the program would be the community school director. This individual would move into the school at 12:00 a.m. each day and operate community educational programs from 3:30 until 9:00 or 10:00 p.m, at night. It was invisioned that the school, as well as the communitys economic, physical plant and manpower resources would be cooperatively organized to operate the community school program. It was planned that schools and municipalities would buy adjoining pieces of property for recreational sites and share the costs of developing them. Plans also called for the school to become the community action center to meet the specific-need- s of that particular schools area. Perhaps an illustration of a typical school in Flint, Michigan, will better explain the program.

It should be explained that all of the elementary schools have a small gym similar to those of LDS ward chapels. Other classes offered are home repairs, cooking, barbershop singing, first aid, gun safety, sewing, home decorating, estate planning, home budgeting, etc. There is also a community recreation room set aside in each school for neighborhood socials, town meetings, visiting lectures, art displays, etc. The possibilities are, as you can visualize, as numerous as the mind can conceive. The community school program is now starting in Spanish Fork, Payson and Springville. The director in the Spanish Fork area is Mr. Jack J. Swenson and in Payson and Springville the part time directors are: Blaine Montague and Dean Allen. EVERYBODY the Shops WANT AD WAY Various family gatherings were held while she was here.
