This Weekend The silence of the old Manti North Ward will be shattered this weekend.

Activity will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday evening, May 30th with the final tryout session dated for 6 p.m., Saturday, May 31. Pageant roles are open to all residents within the Manti Region (Gunnison, Manti, Mt. Pleasant and Moroni Stakes). Macksene S. Rux, pageant director, will be in charge of the tryouts. The 1975 production marks the sixth year that Mrs. Rux has supervised the actors and technicians for the pageant. Assisting Mrs. Rux will be Helen Dyreng and Jane Braithw'aite. All leading roles are open," great-grandfath- Mrs. Rux emphasized. She noted that participants have often mistakenly felt that many of the parts were filled prior to the designated tryout sessions. Persons must audition for the role they desire, she concluded. A special call is being made for families to join together for pioneer roles. Many parts call for older persons, Mrs. Rux noted, and others call for youth. In other words, there is is something for everyone interested in being a part of the pageant, she said. One restriction placed upon young children is that they must be accompanied by their parents before they will be considered for a part in the pageant. The Mormon Miracle Pageant will open on the Manti Temple Hill Thursday evening, July 10th. 39 MHS Senior Students Win Many Scholarships Thirty-nin- e senior students have accepted scholarships from many different institutions which total over $14,500.00 Theater Tryouts The Sanpete Community Theater will hold tryouts Monday evening, June 9 at the Little Theater in the Noyes Building.

I Don't Hang Up On Obscene Calls , Says Chief Manti Police Chief Cal Nielson reports that a wave of - reading, writing, gardening, were received by students at Manti High School. which 7nA' Bruce Jennings obscene phone calls has been occurring in the area. Chief Nielson reminds offenders that perpetrating such an act is a serious crime and that penalties for those convicted are very severe. He also reminded citizens that if such a call is received, the person receiving the call should NOT hang up. Leave the receiver off the hook, dont listen to the call, go to another phone and notify the telephone company. Leaving the receiver off the hook enables the telephone company to trace the call. If all citizens will help us on this, Nielson said, we can apprehend those making the calls and put a stop to this despicable practice..
