The band performed during half-tim- e of the televised game, their second show of the year on TV, using music and formations depicting characters from outer space. Climaxing the show was a special arrangement of "Star Wars" which included the characters from the popular motion picture. The versatile band plays for everything from football and basketball games to tennis matches and baseball games. It has also played for a Presidential inaugural parade in Washington, D.C., and in the 1974 Fiesta Bowl. Surprisingly, only 26 of the 148 members of the band are music majors. Members come from a wide variety of in-terests, including engineering, pre-me- pre-la- architecture, and accounting, to name just a few. They come from coast-to-coa- (including Alaska) and from Canada.

STORAGE VAULTS These $2 million storage vaults are man made caves used to preserve valuable genealogy records of ' families.' They were built by LDS Church. People Searching for 'Family Roots7 . focused .. appreciation and gratitude for the privilege of being born in this choice land. As Alex Haley, the famous author of "Roots" has said, "the most powerful in-vestment anyone can make is an investment in a human being." In the process of his search Haley blessed all of this nation with a better un-derstanding of its past. And so it is with any individual who becomes involved in this work. With attention on the Family during Utah Valley Family Month, it is interesting to note that some people in our Community are consistent in researching their family "Roots." In a recent interview, it was discovered that a number of ladies who were making in-dividual efforts, organized a research group and attended Genealogogical Library sessions weekly together. According to Clyone Lowe, a member of the group, we learn, "There are many reasons people find ex-citement and challenge in genealogy, and each is motivated differently. Perhaps it is a hobby for some, a desire to trace a family tree or prepare a family history. For others, it is fulfilling a religious obligation." A national survey shows that in the last 10 years Genealogy has become the nation's third largest hobby. It becomes addictive because it satisfies a basic curiousity about where we come from and everybody has that curiosity. Bea Adams, another of the group stated, "There is such a thrill as you look through old ward records of Pleasant Grove and find the records of loved ones. It is a satisfying feeling to be able to verify and document accurately events of their lives. It brings me closer to these people as I find out about their lives." Searching out one's distant dead relatives leads you through journals, certificates, documents and family Bibles in a search for names, dates, and places, discovering along the way if any of your "family" did anything in-teresting, important or ex-citing. It is often a shocking revelation to discover the personal events and ex-periences of the past. Par-ticipants enjoy the search through the musty hunting grounds of cemeteries, court houses, libraries and archives. "My genealogy pursuits have permitted me to become acquainted with some of my distant relatives who live in England through correspondence," stated Beulah Whiting. She con-tinued, "Often my letters give me an opportunity indirectly to be a missionary by planting seeds as we correspond. I am a direct beneficiary of the vast microfilming program of the Genealogical Society as countries become more cooperative and realize the importance of record preservation. I receive records on film of births, deaths, and marriages that assist me in my extension of family pedigrees." The LDS Church's keen interest began with the Church's founder, Joseph Smith, in the 1830's when he told his followers they should keep genealogy records in order to perform proxy temple work for ancestors so the dead could receive benefits of the Mormon religion in the hereafter. According to Theadbre Burton, President of the Genealogical Society it has spend more than $100 million gathering data since formed in 1894. Despite the staggering costs, the Church continues to offer its "do it yourself" facilities to the public, free, charging only for copying records and microfilm. are welcome as well as members. Barbara Larsen, who attends each week, told of visiting with a young girl from California, who is a chemist by profession. She spends her winter vacation at the library, and enjoys Utah skiing in between. Of the group's efforts, Barbara remarked, "We have all felt satisfaction as we meeet with success, but still understand that not always are we successful in our search for particular information., But along the way we benefit from our search as knowledge and skills are developed." Other fringe benefits were listed by LaRue Walker as she talked of her participation. "We find that we gain a basic education in history, geography, paleography (handwriting) topography (map study) heraldry, languages, economic and social cultures of the world. You will agree that this is an interesting adventure into learning for everyone who engages in the work of tracing their heritage." Donna Brock said, "It gives me a greater op-portunity to identify with my family past, present and future. I think often our youth are seeking an identity, longing to identify with a hero figure. They have a great need to belong. This work of genealogy gives me this satisfying feeling." The group agrees it is an opportunity to escape the tensions of every day, by taking a day to go to Den-mark, Germany, England or Scndinavia and relive the experiences of their ancestors. As they trace them to America, they feel a greater 4.0 Unemployment (Continued from Page 1 ) area. Nationally the area is being ranked as one of the fastest growing localities of comparable size in the U.S. as determined by most of the significant measures available of economic and related factors. The 1970 U.S. Census showed Utah County pop-ulation to be 137,776 with a labor force total of 44,270. By July 1975 the Utah Population Work Committee reported the number of Utah County residents had risen to 168,500 and the Provo Job Service office showed the work force to be 65,695. Currently the population is estimated at 179,500 and meanwhile the work force has reached to a new e high of 72,464 up 3,890 from October 1976. That's an increase of 5.7 percent. During the past 12 months Utah County employers have added 3,019 new jobs to their payrolls, Mr. Thurston noted. Understandably, this large growth is having a traumatic impact on the number of jobs available through the Provo Job Service. Mr. Thurston said his office received nearly 12,000 job openings during the first nine months of this year. This is a substantial increase over the same period of 1976 and additional job offers are coming in for the complete range of occupations from unskilled to highly skilled, professional and technically trained job seekers. The Job Service manager points out that his office at 190 West 800 North in Provo and the branch office at 265 North Main in Spanish Fork together have the largest single source of job op-portunities available in the county., For this reason, he encourages all job seekers in the area to make Job Service their first stop in beginning their job search. "Our job matching system is computerized," Mr. Thurston said. "So it's modem and fast and efficient, and the computer assist frees our placement interviewers to work with people instead of paper. I'm certain we can save Utah County job seekers in finding satisfying and rewarding employment and at the same time we can shorten the time Utah County em-ployers are without the workers they need."
