Wallace Harding Awarded $5,000 Under Employee Suggestion Plan For one Pleasant Grove fam-ily, Santa came early this year. And when he arrived it was dad. Wallace V. Harding, father of five, last week won a $5,000 award, only the second of its kind ever paid, under the Employee Sugges-tion Plan at U.S. Steel's Gen-eva Works. Mr. Harding, assistant solu-tion operator at Geneva's Nit-- rogen Plant, picked up his pay-ment, minus taxes, just in time for Christmas. In presenting the check, Ray-mond W. Sundquist, Geneva general superintendent, recog-nized Mr. Harding for his shar-ed interest in improving the overall competitiveness of the Utah steel industry. He pointed up his contribution as an ex-ample of the important role every Geneva employee fills in this common responsibility. The innovation that won the payoff boosted production of ammonium nitrate prills dur-ing hot weather when higher temperatures have caused a re-duction in the prilling rate. Mr. Harding suggested a new method to inject saturated steam into the top of the prill-ing tower, which lowers temp-eratures at the base of the tower and increases prilling rate. His idea qualified for the maximum award, paid only once before, under Geneva's Employee Suggestion Plan. u t V - v '. " - - Z". - " ' ' ...

Grove High Last Wedensday Pleasant Grove High School C.D.T.A. Class graduated their pre-schoolers. Senior girls who participated as student teach-ers in the Child Development-Teache- r Aide Class had a sense of nostalgia as the thir-ty four and five year old boys and girls received diplomas. The student teachers were excited at the progress the pre-schoolers had made during the last two and one-ha- lf months of schooling. One stu-dent - teacher remarked, "I never realized how smart little kids are. It takes a lot of work to teach and take care of children. If nothing else I have learned that each child is an individual and needs to be treated differently." One parent commented on the C.D.T.A. Program saying that she noticed that her child was taught a concept every day such as what makes a kite fly, or snow makes water when it melts. Another parent said, "The pre-scho- ol graduation exercis-es were especially impressive. I actually think that will re-- main with us as long as a high school graduation." Delores Bradshaw, advisor of the C.D.T.A. Class, noted that the pre-scho- ol experience can be a very good first step in beginning school. Children leave their families for an hour and a half each day and are with children of their own age. They learn many of the things which will prepare them for learning to read, write and use number concepts. Most of all, they learn what it is like to be in school. They leam more about themselves as they ad-just to the expectations of other people. The C.D.T.A Program at the high school is open to both senior boys and girls. The class is designed not only to help the community, but to lead the high school student to a better understanding of selt and others; basic needs of children; desirable attitudes toward children; responsibilit-ies of parenthood; influences of heredity and environment on the individual; and employ-ment opportunities.

' ' , , TORN DOWN NOW Old home which stood at head of Main Street in Pleasant Grove, just west of Lee's Barber Shop, was once a hotel in early days of Pleasant Grove. Building was torn down several years ago so Main Street could be widened to north. Old Hotel at Head of Main Street Was Torn Down in Recent Years (By Alta N. Hone) Two weeks ago the Pleasant Grove Review published the history of thelayhew House, one of the first hotels in Pleas-ant Grove. The Hawley house was another Hotel. It was at the head of Main Street. It was built in 1870. The soft rock was hauled by wagon from Midway. This house had one and a half stories. Hawley bought the home and property from Benjamin Driggs. He took in roomers and had a livery stable out back where they rented out horses and buggies to the townspeople. This house was bought and run as a hotel by Corneilous and Elizabeth Kelley Baxter in 1892. It was known as the Bax-ter House. It had eleven rooms in it with a number posted on each room. The Baxters had twelve children. Agnes Baxter married Samuel Burns who ran the livery stable. He also had a hack to pick up people at the railroad station and bring them to the hotel. The hotel was dicontinued in 1900 and was then used as the fam-ily residence. Trade Tech Evening School Classes to Begin on Jan. 4, Register on Jan. 3 How would you like to make a grandfather clock this win-ter? No? Then maybe you'd like to make a fine cabinet for your kitchen ... or fix your snowmobile ... or do welding repair work ... or learn a hid-den fact of Utah history . . . or paint a picture ... or sell real estate ... or even drive a truck. You can learn thes and nearly 100 other skills at adult education classes in the com-ing winter quarter evening school of Utah Technical Col-lege at Provo, according to Roger H. Plothow, director of continuing education and the evening school. Evening classes for the win-ter quarter begin Jan. 4 with registration scheduled Jan. 3 from 1 to 8:30 p.m. Inquiry at the college may be made any school day, Mondays through Fridays, from now on except on the holidays. A catalog may be obtained with a full listing of courses. Utah Tech evening adult ed-ucation classes, open to any one in the community, are at-tracting increasing numbers of of Utah Valley residents who find them a pleasant, profitable way to increase their skills and learning said Director Plothow. The fall quarter just ending attracted over 1,000 people, most of them adults, in over 100 subjects ranging from art to welding. Such facilities are available for winter quarter and can handle even more if necessary. Courses are open to anyone 16 years of age or older. The winter quarter will run for 11 weeks. Tuition is nom-inal, said Mr. Plothow, and varies with the type and length of class. Most classes meet two nights a week, although some meet only once a week and a few as much as three times. A few of the evening class-es continue from the fall quar-ter, but the greatest majority of them begin fresh for the winter quarter and no one is handicapped by not attending in the fall. Director Plothow stressed the admission policy of Utah Tech: "Open to anyone 16 years of age or older who can benefit from the instruction." The evening school faculty is composed of members of the regular Utah Tech day school, plus individual experts in the community who teach their particular subject and give stu-dents the benefit of their ex-pertise. Adults may audit evening school classes without credit if they wish. Or they may gain credit if they desire, which would count toward a Utah Tech associate degree or be transferable to other institu-tions in Utah of higher learn-ing. A minimum of 12 students is necessary to justify a class. Since 1969 the Utah Techni-cal College at Provo has been fully accredited by the North-west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools the same organization which accredits high schools and other coll-eges and universities in the Intermountain and Western ar-ea. |
