IHCHESNE COUNTY, UTAH State asked to 116 miles of road A booster club has been form ed at Union to help develop an Interest In athletics by adults The group of the community. will meet twice each month, and will go over various aspects of the sport presently in season, Including rules, prospects for the future, game films, ect. ties of the school. For Instance, a good dramatic society could help stimulate the dramatic arts In high scliool and Junior highs. Besides creating an Interest within their y, own group, and within the they could foster programs to build an Interest In students, by offering their help In stage production, with coachmake-u- p, proing, props, motion, ect. Dramatic presentations, where a student ran learn the thrill of living a part on stage, as well as ttie pride of accomplishment In a part well done, are so few that they are almost in schools of the area. The support of a dramatic group could help build this area of development to a status which com-mlnlt- It should hold. Or what about the music department. This could and should be the center of activity at a school, with assemblies and special programs centering around the use of individuals and groups with musical talents to display. Our music departments have suffered In past years. There seems to be Improvements In sight. But what about a booster group that Is willing to put In some time to help foster a growth In this field. Bands and choruses need the encouragement and support necessary to organize and plan concerts or programs for the public. Funds are needed for uniforms to give the band the "glisten" that will attract new students into Its ranks. Music and Instrumentation Is always a need. Where are the band and chorus boosters? Again, we feel that the boosclub for athletics Is wonderful. It helps provide a needed correlation between the community and the school. Let's go one step further, however, and build a system of support in each community of the county for other areas of endeavor In our schools. The time and effort so expended will reap untold rewards In (wilding the moral of students who are now being left by the wayside. ter Its written that a person with a chip on his shoulder Is always carrying an unnecessary burden. Pardon the obvious effort toward self glorification, but we felt It worthy of note that the STANDARD was notified this week by the University of Utah that It had received the editorial of the month award for September. (The October award winner has not yet been announced.) This announcement in and g, of Itself Is not too but when added to the fact that this is the third such award In the nine months so far this year, one cant help but be proud of the accomplishment. There are about SO papers competing for this award each month. To win once In a year, amid the rough competition, is But a real accomplishment. to add a second and third such And honor Is a real thrill. you can bet that were shooting to cop a fourth award yet this year, with the October, November and December presentations yet to be made. earth-shakin- turn iiiilps Of state roads to the county arterial system was cksrusse.1 recently at a meeting of the Duchesne County Commissi, .n, at Duchesne. E. Paul Gilgen and Maurice Klchey of the PTES Action Committee, James L. Deaton, State Road Department of Highways District G construction engineer, and Joseph E.

The discussion Included the cost of Improving these to l e borne by revenue from a proposed .01? per gal. gasoline tax If you dont enjoy what you have, how would you he happier with more? The group, with a better understanding of the athletic department at the school, should provide an excellent foundation for freater support and growth. We congratulate the tuckers of this plan. Without wanting to detract from the Importance of forming a Ixraster club to lietter correlate sporting activities, we might make a suggestion of another form of boosting that Is needed at our schools.
