In selecting projects for the PTA program it is necessary to keep in mind the basic objects of the PTA policy which are: To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church and community. To raise the standards of home life. To secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children and youth. To bring into close relation the home and school so that parents and teachers may cooperate in the training of the child. To develop better educational standards as to secure for each child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education. It Is Important to note that the PTA program does not in any way seek to direct admlnls tratlve activities of the school or control their policies. The primary obligation is to the child and the PTA strives in every way to cooperate with teachers, administrators and board In providing a quality education. The PTA feels it is the responsibility of the parents to recognize the value of the specialized training of the teachers and the responsibility of the teacher to recognize the parents fundamental interest In the quality of the education provided for their child. The PTA organisations policy Is one of absolute absence of Interference of either the PTA or school in defined and accepted realm of the other. A number of outstandlngpro-Jec- ts are being investigated and the PTA program for the coming year will be announced in the near future.

CAMP AT Soap Stone for the past week. Mrs. Belra Nowllng from Henefer was (me of the ladies present from our county. The blind learn to do. many things at this camp. They learn to do handicrafts, they enjoy dances, and variety shows all done by blind or partly blind people. A group of Lions from Kam as were present Thursday evening and enjoyed supper with them, then were held in awe at the talent presented to them during the program, and still more surprising were the people who had never been there before, to see two totals blind persons get up and dance and very seldom ever bump into anyone else. The Lions from Kamas who were there were: President and Mrs. John Bigelow, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. DeMar Wilde, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Frazier, Stiff Hoyt and Randy Taylor. The Lions Club help sponsor this activity for the blind and pay their expenses while they are at camp. This year the camp was smaller than usual, there were about 50 members who stayed the full week and about 75 when the part time visitors came. This is a very worth while project, and helps the blind people very much. They gain friends who also cannot see and they grow real close because of the things they do alike. Many times their spirits are lifted when they meet others who are total t. blind who make their own domes, or who do their own ironing or wash in a conventional washing machine, or who knit beautifully. There are also many blind people who can read faster with their hands than we do with our eyes. Hats off to the Lions Clubs all over the state who are helping these blind people and others Just like them to grow and develop naturaly. Summer Social The Coalville BPW held their second social of the summe a Hawaiian L uaijj at Mountain Meadow Ranch recently. Gary Smith, chairman and her committee entertained the more than 30 members All ready to go in a sack race that.turned out to be the hit of the Summit County camp this year are J. Reed Moore, Dr. Kumagai and Mrs. Edna Atkinson. J. Reed Moore won, on his hands and knees. 4-- H LeRoy Howard's Disappearance Is Cause of Widespread Search The mystery surrounding the disappearance of LeRoy T. Howard is not lessening.

Wind Up Construction for their untiring efforts toward securing needed funds through Congress and the Approprla tlons Committee to aid in ac celeratlng the construction completion. We contemplate some monies being left in the construction fund of the Project and have been informed this money could be utilized and administered for needed future construction under Bureau of Reclamation supervision, by our District officials. The continued support of our Government Officials will be vitally needed to aid us in securing these funds for additional developments on the Project as water needs dictate. It is the general procedure for the Water District, who has the obligation to repay ap proximately 80 of construction costs to the Federal Government, to accept complete Jurisdiction and operate and maintain projects when the es Bureau of Reclamation their assignment. We contemplate receiving the balance of this responsibility in two or three phases within the con-plet- next 2 years. It is our desire to negotiate a contract with the Bureau of Reclamation to also operate and maintain the only power sources on the Project, being plants at Wanshlp and Gateway. This would better enable us to eliminate any duplication of services. We are determined to operate and maintain this Project for, the water, users as efficiently as it can possibly be done. We have yet to determine a solution for especially suple-menta- ry irrigational water needs in parts of Summit County and are working now to arrive School Patrons Urged To Do Better This Year With the beginning of school nest week our thoughts will again turn to the activities on the hill. I believe everyone will agree with me that last year we reached an all time low at North Summit. School activities were poorly attended, PTA membership far below that of South Summit and Interest in school activities low. Were beginning a new year, lets turn over a new leaf and resolve to give the school our 100 support. Get behind the school board, administration, tfachers and anyone who has the Interest of our children at heart and let them know they have your support. You might even try com- plimenting those who are doing such a wonderful Job, it cant hurt anything. This can be a better year if we want it to be, but it may take some effort on the part of the publlc.-Mar- y Baker. The repayment contract authorized by the citizens of Weber, Davis, Morgan and Summit Counties some years ago amounts to $81,656,000. This amount to be repaid to the Federal Government within a 60 year period. The overall Project costs are estimated to be tween 105 and 109 million dollars. The difference between repayment obligation and the overall costs represents a nonreimbursable recreation, fish and wildlife, and flood control benefit, which supposedly is a benefit to all citizens of the nation as a whole. Although some of the projected water needs throughout the Weber Basin Project hav not materialized as planned the Project itself is proving its great worth and benefits in many areas. This development of the 'last water hole belongs to you, and your individual support of it will contribute much towards its success. Wayne M.
