Show PG Bell Ringer Soles Prize Winners Listed Bell Ringer Sales Days for 1968 were highly successful, according to Gerald Belliston, C of C president. With the final drawing held last Fri-day, over $600 in cash cer-tificates and merchandise was given away during the C of C sponsored Sales Days. The Kiwanis Club and the Lions Club also helped during the sales days, working in the hot dog stand on Friday nights when the drawings were held. They should be congratulated for their community spirit and help, Mr. Belliston said. Another outstanding contri-bution to our Christmas Sales and community spirit is the help of Utah Power and light Co. and their local agent, Maron Oveson. He, with the power company equipment, has done an outstanding job in putting up the Christmas decorations with the Jaycees, in decorating the Christmas tree with the Cub Scouts and Chamber of Commerce, and in policing the whole lighting system while it has been turn-ed on. All this of course is free of charge, and has been furnished not only this year, but for the years past.

"Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL LXIV, No. 52 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1968 SINGLE COPY 10c Legion Ladies Enjoy Christmas Party Saturday Members of American Le-gion Auxiliary Unit 70 enjoy-ed a Christmas party at the home of their president, Mrs. Arvilla Harvey last Saturday afternoon. Assisting as hos-tesses in serving a delicious Christmas luncheon were Lyd-i- a Hilton, Elodia Goss and Mary Washburn. After the opening prayer by Geneve Dalton, Mrs. Harvey expressed thanks to Lela and Karl Banks for furnishing the 70 original Christmas cards that were sent to the Pleas-ant Grove and Lindon ser-vice men. She also thanked Mrs. Goss for addressing and mailing the cards. It was announced that next month's meeting, featuring Rehabilitation, would be held at the home of Reva Ahman. A crib blanket will be made for the LDS Children's Hos-pital. Also, seven needy fam-ilies of the area are being currently assisted with Xmas boxes, it was noted. Music chairman Sarah Mon-so- n, introduced the following program numbers: Vocal solos, "The Holy City' and 'Winter Wonderland," by Karen Springer, accompanied by Irene Jenkins, who also played a piano solo of Christ-mas arrangements. Reading by Kathy Jo Chris-tense- "A Christmas Trag-edy." Those present, not previous-ly mentioned, were Sylvia Peterson, Ivella Hansen, Em ily Pederson, May Jensen, Lucille Walker, Lela Banks, Louise Heidenreich, Millie Hoffman and Dora Fisher. jJ 1. tt--i V yy fin 1 KIWANIS OFFICERS Walter Brock, cen-ter, was elected new Kiwanis Club presi-dent at recent meeting. Homer Robertson, left, is secretary-treasure- r, and Cornell Haynie, right, is new vice president. The officers were installed last Saturday. Kiwanis Club Installs New Officers at Last Saturday Meeting; Brock Named President The following directors were also installed: Millim D. Radmall, Kenneth Harvey, Ronald Firth and Paul Ford-ha- Holdover directors are Leo Harvey, William Mair and Harvey Rawlinson. Last year's club president, Elvin Carson, will automatic-ally become a member of the board for one year. Installation of new officers and directors of the Kiwanis Club of Pleasnt Grove was held Saturday morning by Charles Sessions, Lt. Govern-or of the Central Utah Dis-trict. Walter Brock was nam-ed president, with Cornell Haynie vice president and Homer Robertson, secretary-treasure- r. At a recent meeting, the 1969 Theme and Objectives for Kiwanis International were reviewed. A great orator once asked, "What have you done for lib-erty? If nothing, what can freedom mean to you? Kiwan-ian- s believe this is a rele-vant question "what will we do for freedom?" On all sides we are caught up into the debate between the dove and the hawk, the voices of youth power and black power. Fighting faiths are upset, and we shudder as we read that "God is Dead." If there is any rallying point for Kiwanians it is now, as it has been for years, "re-sponsible freedom." In the absence of responsible action, however, freedom is a trans-parent abstraction, a trite word with little real meaning for anyone. The theme for 1969 em-phasizes again the call for "responsible" citizens. It says, "Freedom is our Indi-vidual responsibility." We must recognize our responsi-bility for involvement to show by our actions what we believe. A twentieth century poet wrote: "How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by auth-oritarian dogma. Always in the final act, by dedication and faith. A. B. Gibson stressed the second objective for 1969: Re-affirm the family's role as the basis of a strong community and nation. To stand up for freedom we must preserve and strength-en those institutions integral to responsible freedom. Gerald Belliston presented the third Objective: Enhance our association with Circle K Clubs, Key Clubs, and other youth groups by meaningful guidance and support. Our fourth Objective was given by Lyle Thacker: Edu-cate parents and youth as to the consequences of the use of habit forming drugs. To stand up for freedom, we must present that which corrodes, degrades and en-slaves the human being. Many thousands of indivi-duals handicap themselves each year by becoming ad-dicted to drugs. The fifth Objective present-ed by Homer Robertson is to develop international friend-ship and understanding with special emphasis on continu-ed Kiwanis growth in other countries. Dee Olpin presented the sixth objective for 1969: Orig-inate and support action pro-grams designed to eliminate pollution of land, air and wa-ter. Kiwanis stands up for freedom by proving ourselves worthy stewards of the prec-ious natural resources which we have been blessed with. Keith Story explained the seventh objective: Motivate all men to respect law and order. Kiwanis stands up for free-dom by standing up for the rule of law. The German Philosopher Hegel wrote, "To the ideal of freedom, law and morality are indispensably requisite . . . society and the state are the very conditions in which freedom is realized." Christmas Essay Gives Thoughts To Ponder About (The following essay on Christmas was sent to us by Howard L. Blood, Mountain States Telephone Co. We thought well enough of it to publish it and give Mr. Blood credit for sending it.) Christmas in the United States is many things. It is remembrance of the Child of Bethlehem. It is a time to give consideration to our pur-pose on earth to those less fortunate than we and renew our spiritual lives. Christmas is also family fun, crowded stores, gifts un-der the tree, wreaths, candles, bells, holly, mistletoe and good things to eat. It is chil-dren's breathless anticipation and it is quiet moments of peace. The tapestry of American Christmas is richly woven with threads of customs from every corner of the world. Because it celebrates the birth of Christ, we think of Christmas as going back near-ly 2,000 years. Actually, the celebration, as we know it in the United States, is relative- - ly new. As a legal holiday, in all states; it dates from 1890. The first individual state rec-ognized it in 1836. Christmas is truly a testi-mony to the brotherhood of man and the hope of eternal life for everyone, "... Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Vikings Win and Lose Again Over Past Weekend Games The Vikings take the floor for their last practice tilt next Friday, Dec. 27. The Murray High School Spartans are coming to town. As usual, there will be two games, 6:15 and 8 p.m. After the first of the year, it's play for keeps. It was a busy weekend for Coach Jack Hill's basketball team, Dec. 20 and 21. Friday evening at a "Fam-ily Night" affair held at the local high school gym, they beat a good old grad alumni team 69-5- Attendance was not up to expectations, due to the heavy snow storm, which buffeted the area most of the day Friday. Saturday night the Vikings made a wintry trip to Clear-field High School and were snowed under by 22 points, 6543 Clearfield fielded three boys who scored in double figures T. Gardner, 15; Garrett, 12; and S. Gardner, 10. Pleasant Grove countered with two players in the two-figu- re cat-egory, Mike Shoell, 10 and Larry Jorgensen, 13. The winners jumped into a lead, 13-- 8 at the end of the first period and in-creased the advantage until the final gun. Funeral Services Thursday for Norman Walker Funeral services for Nor-man B. Walker, 41, who died in the American Fork Hos-pital on Sunday, Dec. 22, at 7:30 p.m., will be held on Thursday, Dec. 26 at 1 p.m. in the Second-Fourt- h Ward Chapel.

Survivors- - include his par-ents, 2 sons and one daugh-ter, Richard Lynn, Norman Lane and Christina Dawn; al-so surviving are two broth-ers, Dale W., El Sobrante, Calif., and Paul R., Draper, Utah. Thirty Years of Conservation Reported by Leo Harvey (The following are excerpts from the President's report, given at the recent convention of the Utah Association of Soil Conservation Districts held in Salt Lake City recent iy.) This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Soil Con-servation District movement in Utah. In 1938 the Miners-vill- e Soil Conservation Dis-trict was created under the Utah law passed in 1937 by the legislature. Since that lime 49 SCDs have been or-ganized, covering the entire state except the Navajo In-dian Reservation in San Juan County. Consolidations of dis-tricts have reduced this num-ber to the present 41, still cov-ering all of the land area in Utah. SCD supervisors are now working on many conserva-tion projects on private, state and federal lands throughout the state. They are laying plans to further help land-owners, groups, communities, towns and counties in broad conservation and natural re-source development responsi-bilities, We you and I as sup-ervisors need to look at our progress over the past 30 years of district work. We have been charged with stew-ardship of these lands, and their development and use. What progress can we report on this conservation and de-velopment work at this 30-ye-mark? tion and resource .development shows an annual return on investment of 12 per cent. This means the total cost of conservation and improve-ment work placed on a farm or ranch, or on an irrigatici system, is returned in about 8Ms years. As you can see, conserva-tion and resource develop-ment is big business in Utah. It is good business for the landowners and operators; it is good business for irrigation companies, communities, and towns and counties. The effect of our work is to build tempor-ary and permanent jobs for Utah. This builds the economy along main street. We estim-ate that some 3,500 man-year- s of work have been provided in he installation of this work and that over the past 30 years some 1,000 permanent fuU-itm- e jobs have been cre-ated. In addition, the pur-chase of equipment, supplies, tires, gasoline, cement, steel, fertilizers, and lumber for a $179,000,000 investment over the past 30 years, make eco-nomic sense to our many Main Street merchants. A good part of the time and effort that we supervisors are now spending in the state of Utah is devoted to the devel-opment of resource conserva-tion and development "pro-gram of action" on a multi-district basis. This, in my opinion, is one of the most necessary and challenging jobs facing soil conservation In 41 Soil Conservation Dis-tricts we have worked on in-dividual farms and ranches, on drainage and irrigation group work, on flood preven-itio- n projects, on water distri- - button projects, with livestock groups, on holding ponds and irrigaion reservoirs, on ero-sion control structures, ditch and canal lining, on a thous-and different projects and ideas of local people. Taking these ideas, each board of su-pervisors, working as a team with local, state and federal agencies, have placed a tre-mendous amount of conserva-tion work on the land. Our most accurate estim-ate shows a state-wid- e invest-ment of farmer, state and fed-eral funds of 179 million dol-lars over the past 30 years. This amounts to almost six million dollars each year, state-wid- e. Our best estimate for the annual return for this invest-ment to the landowners and to the economic life of the State of Utah is some $21 million each year. This means for each dollar invested in conservation and development work, $3 annual return can be expected. To put it another way, state-wide, investment in conserva- - districts in Utah, and in the nation. The challenge is for the soil conservation districts themselves within the framework of the several state multi-count- y organiza-tions to prepare a resource development "program of ac-tion" which will provide for the necessary rural improve-ments making rural Ameri-ca economically compatible with its urban neighbors. . We are pushing toward this end in Utah, for we have plac-ed into operation organizations dedica-ted to determining the re-source development needed within their boundaries. If done, this will make each of these multi-distri- land areas a more desirable place in which to live and work. I believe we are living in an era of exciting times. If I could make one point with you today, it would be that I believe each Soil Conserva-tion District in Utah has a major role to play in develop-ing and further developing rural America to the extent that it becomes for each of our soil conservation districts truly a "Community of To-morrow." 28 Students at USU Are from Pleasant Grove LOGAN Twenty-eigh- t stu-dents from Pleasant Grove have been enrolled at Utah State University this fall ac-cording to the office of Ad-missions and records.

Forest Service Employees Give Gift to Others A gift to others in lieu of Christmas Card giving to each other, was the project of the employees on toe Uinta Na-tional Forest this Christmas. This week a 20 ft. shuffle-boar-d, a bumper pool table and a cash donation of $100 for purchase of a portable table tennis set was present-ed to the Youth Center at the State Hospital as a Christmas gift to the 65 pupils from the Forest Service employees. Through the kind efforts of Harold Thatcher of Provo, the word went out about the need for recreation equipment for the Youth Center. John Ele-gante of Orem heard of the need and graciously donated a used shuffleboard. The Main-tenance Crew of the Uinta National Forest donated their time and talents to rejuvenate the shuffleboard to a "like new" condition. A special thanks to all em-ployees and all others who have given of their time, tal-ents and money to make this project possible, is expressed by Mrs. Willie Smith, chair-man. Mrs. Smith is personnel management specialist of the Uintah National Forest, Pro-vo. "We will truly have a more blessed Christmas be-cause of our gift to others," she added. tle Creek (Eljrisirnas $f fl Vlineteen bundled and Sixty-Sig- ht W 0v Huge rockets zoom beyond the blue, 3 Jjj Sleek satellites invade the skies; ?i j That yesteryear were still and void H? flw Of all space-probin- g arts of men. 2$ Across the troubled seven seas, Jtjj A Contention, greed and guile are rife; Df$ While selfish hate and stupid fear, S5 Turn man 'gainst man in conflict, dire.
