The Legion Donates American Flag By Jeny Hansen Troop 636 Scoutmaster Several months ago the District Boy Scout Staff decided to use the funds generated by the Camporees to purchase an American flag for the Fishlake District of the Boy Scouts of America. The District, comprised of the geographic areas made up of Monroe, Richfield, Richfield East, and Salina Stakes had never owned a flag and had to resort to borrowing one or saluting the flag on the sleeve of someones uniform. Research was conducted into the prices of flags and it was discovered that flags could be ordered very reasonably from the American Legion. Instead of processing the order as received, Mr. Ronnie Torgerson, the commander of the Salina Unit of the American Legion, met with their executive board and they voted to donate the deluxe flag kit to the Boy Scout District Where They used to Smoke This shed behind Ora Christensen and Bruce Shaheens homes in Salina will soon be torn down. Apparently, kids have been caught smoking in this and other sheds in the area. One smokers mischievousness finally caught this shed on fire. Mr. Shaheen said Mrs. Christensen gave him permission to tear the shed down to prevent a more tragic consequence from the kids smoking. girls were chosen from five contestants last Saturday at the Salina Rodeo Grounds. The Royal Rodeo Court will reign at the July 2 and 4 Salina PRCA Rodeos. On May 12, at the monthly roundtable session of the Fishlake District several scouts, Britton Hansen, Troy Torgerson, Plaul Torgerson, Travis Honeycutt, and Warren Hansen, conducted the opening flag ceremony after which Terry Torgerson, a member of American Legion Post 16 and the Scouting coordinator of Troop 636 presented the flag to Quinn Christensen, the president of the district. Quinn was especially grateful that he would no longer need to serve as flag and flag pole, and that the new colors would be used at all district functions in the future. YAs Want Own Branch The Salina IDS Stake leaders are currently studying the feasibility of creating a separate ward or branch for the more than 130 single young adults in the North Sevier area. Although nothing official has be- en decided, stake leaders say they want to help reactivate many of the single young adults in the area by giving them an opportunity to serve in leadership positions that only a separate branch experience could provide. The move also would help active young adults learn leadership skills by giving them the same opportunity to serve in the branch, officials said. The stake presidency has authorized the taking of n eitrvev In the stake to see what objections, if any, would come up against such a move to help the young people in the area.
