Spring vacation for the school children has passed. It doesn't seem possible school will be out in another five or six weeks. During this time we haven't known if it was winter of spring. So where do we go from here? Oh well, I guess the weather will be telling us if we should plant a garden or just buy some artificial flowers. But I do worry about the nurseries. Many families had to color their Easter eggs and have them for their dinner in the house. Maybe we learned a little more about what Easter means. Both of the LDS wards in Centerfield had Easter programs. The Centerfield 2nd Ward had a cantata with Stephanie Lambertson directing and Kathy Brown as the narrator. The songs were just beautiful and many that we had never heard before but with great messages. The 1st Ward had two speakers, Ivan Munk and Kent Despain. Songs by the choir were sung to make the talks even more inspiring. The congregation added to the spirituality of the service. Angela Peterson performed a special number she had composed on the piano. What a lot of talent we have in our valley. Many family members and friends filled the Centerfield chapel for the funeral services for Hazel Fjeldsled Frcdrickson. Hazel had lived in Centerfield for many years before and after marriage. She raised four children. Max, Marlenc, Gwendolyn and Terry. They all have great spouses and a lot of children and grandchildren, many who performed on the program. The tributes were special and certainly told the stories of the humor and talents of Hazel. The congregation sang a favorite song of hers. Hazel married Leonuiel Fredrickson, and they lived in the "Flats" as we called it. The children have great memories of those days. When her husband died she remarried and went to live with her second husband in Santaquin. (J. H. Kay). They too, had many years of happy times. Some who attended the funeral services for the ones in the fatal accident that occurred south of Centerfieid said it was very sad. Charles and Doris Kirk were the grandparents and were both killed in the accident, and then the one granddaughter died the next day. Two more grandchildren are still in critical condition in the hospital. We all feel the heartache and hope many people will give generously to help the family. We congratulate Ira and Fran Nielson on their being honored at the "Old Folks Party" in Centerfield last week. They are great people and have contributed much to the valley. Their children were there to surprise them, except those who were too far away. We give them our best wishes and tell them how much they are respected in the valley.

EPHRAIM Volunteers neededfor new Ephraim park By Kathy Lin Eggleston EPHRAIM—Ephraim City's Park Committee is looking for volunteers to help develop a new city park at about 100 East and 700 South in Ephraim. With the help of a $ 150,000 federal grant, the committee and city are working to develop half of the approximately 8-acre park this year. 'The city council worked on the idea several years ago and plans were drawn up," said volunteer Dean Cox. "We used those plans to apply for and receive the grant." About $60,000 in playground equipment paid for by the federal grant and another grant from the playground equipment manufactures, Great Western Park and Playground, has been sitting in storage until it can be installed sometime in August. A private party is donating the storage, Cox said. Meanwhile, ground leveling for a regulation-size soccer field is underway. The committee hopes to start building restrooms and to buy additional playground equipment soon. Pavement bricks inscribed with the names of $100 donors will be placed in the walkway throughout the park as a fundraiser. Donations of professional service, equipment or supplies are still needed. "We need a dump truck to move some topsoil donated by the city into the park," Cox said. "We got the top soil for free but we have to move it." Anyone interested is invited to a meeting on Thursday, May 11, at 8 p.m. at the Ephraim Public Safety Building at approximately 500 S. 100 East. For more information contact city planner, Bryan Kimball, at the city offices, 2834631, or Dean Cox at 283-6067 in the evening. If you are able to donate supplies, call Loma Olson at 2834597. -Av £<;- WHAT'S NOT IN YOUR WALLET? YOU'RE LIKE MOST OF US, THERE'S NEVER MUCH CASH. ghat's where we come in.
