J$-lim.-T jricl THANKSGIVING This Currier and Ives lithographic print helped to establish Thanksgiving as a traditional holiday for families. Throughout the nation this week, Thanksgiving is being celebrated by family units. Thanksgiving National Family Week As emphasis is placed upon the family circle and family relationships during this time of National Family Week, citizens of our nation focus attention on their own family "Our Family Can Be Forever" is a whole new con-ced-to us, commented Ross Fulton, a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints. Referring to a slogan found in the Home Evening Manual, published by the church, Mr. Fulton explains that this motto has been framed and can be found hanging in the corridor of their home. Prior to their conversion he and his wife Gretchen were interested in changing their life style. They were alarmed at the direction our socity seemed to be heading and especially were concerned about the future of their children. (Continued on Page 6) k '1 ' ; 1 I " I t s' - i ,!

Bankers Warn of Con --Men The Utah Bankers Association is cracking down on the schemes of bunco ar-tists, by declaring November as Anti-Frau- d Month in Utah. The Utah Bankers Association has become greatly concerned over the increasing incidence of bunco frauds. Highly skilled con artists make frequent trips into the state to systematically fleece unwary victims. Most often the victims or "marks" are those least able to afford the loss. Favorite targets of the bunco operators are elderly people with modest savings accounts. The Utah Bankers Association is launching a full-scal- e educational program designed to alert Utahns to the ploys and schemes of bunco artists. Among the actions planned are a public service TV cam-paign featuring announ-cements by Utah Attorney General - elect Robert B. Hansen and other top Utah law officials, public service radio announcements, news releases, and posters and in-formation cards in banks and other public places. In all in-stances, citizens will be asked to notify their bank or local law enforcement authorities in case of suspected fraud. Anit-Frau- d Month is the second annual such event in Utah. Doris Taggart, Utah Bankers Association Anit-Frau- d Month cahirman, initiated the Anti-Frau- d program in November of 1975, after a friend was taken for $12,000 by swindlers. Working in pairs to deceive their victim is a common scheme among bunco artists, according to the Utah Bankers Association. For example, a well-dresse- d man in a nice car fills up with gas at a service station. He usually makes sure a young, inexperienced boy services him. The man suddenly realized he has left his wallet in a nearby motel. However, he says he will give the station attendant an expensive-- looking ring as collateral for payment.

Thumpers mother told him that if he couldn't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. Now that the way I've felt for the past couple of weeks. I have been so disturbed about some of the things that went on during the elections that I felt that it was better to not say nothing at all. I'm so proud to be an American. In spite of the EPA, the CIA, and all the other abc organizations. I ching the budget. We have untold wealth around us. Being able to buy a ham-burger, joy riding in the car, haveing a warm home. Our richness comes from this country. Fertile land, opportunities, American ideals, competition are but a few of the riches. Richness is enjoying the things that you have and using them to the best ad-vantage. Three cheers for America. think our first blessing was being born in America. We all get discouraged about taxes and scandal and graft but there are so manyj great things that are still very im-portant. We have just built a new shop and I go down to work and look at it and have to pinch myself and say, "Hey, this belongs to us." Where else but in this country can you grow up and work for the tings that you want and realize a dream? A friend of ours went to India on business and found that a factory employed some 2000 people and they were payed 60 per day. Here we are in a small community in the west and have the opportunity to set goals. Not just set goals, but to achieve them. If a person has gumption enough he can accomplish anything. We are all concerned with soaring cost but the middle class American is living like yesterdays rich man. Americans have more leisure time and more money to enjoy that time. Our style is being cramped a little right now with the increased cost of fuels, but we can learn to stay home more, flip those light switches, and turn down the furnace. All you need to do is remember the out house and the coal stove and some know all about the kerosene lamps. My husband asks, "What's rich" Well I think a tank of gas is rich. I use to only be able to buy 50 worth. A friend said that ten dollars is really rich. Richness is not money its a way of life. It's being able to do something you want to do without pin-i- t Swine Flu Shots Set for Mall This Saturday The City-Count- y Health Department of Utah County will hold another clinic Saturday, Nov. 27 at the University mall in Orem.

FLYING Kimberly Turner, Nathaniel Weeks and Bonnie Turner fly the Bicentennial Flag under the American Flag at Lindon Elementary School, in Bicentennial City. Lindon City Named Bicentennial City Lindon City has received the honor of being recognized as a Bicentennial city. A Bicentennial Flag and cer-tificate were presented to Mayor Willard Johnson. The recognition came as a result of two bicentennial grants received by the Lin-don city and Lindon school. The joint school and city am-phitheater grant and the school Bicentennial Mosiac were two important projects in the award. Many other projects and programs were also mentioned to help Lin-don qualify for the award. Because of the school's contribution Mayor Johnson and the City Council felt the school should fly the flag for awhile and display the cer-tificate. The flag is raised and flown daily under the school's American Flag. Both studen-ts and staff feel honored and proud to have the flag at the school. Many thanks to all that have made this possible. ii,V" ''' ' t .. . vl""w' ...
