"; f.'"ll - . . . - ? i By KALYN SECRETAN Amidst thunder and threatening rain some 550-56- 0 Central School students ventured out to launch their PTA helium balloon on Sept. 9. The wind seemed to grab a few balloons before the 2 p.m. official state-wid- e launch. PTA President Tammra Salsbury organized the event including the students, teachers and PTA. The morning kindergarten students had their own launch before they went home from school. The PTA wanted to express a special thanks to Desiree and David Brailsford's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Reed Olsen from Seattle, Washington. They volunteered to come to the school with their daughter Judy, the PTA secretary, and help inflate the balloons. Mrs. Salisbury said, "They put in a lot of hours, we would never have been ready without them." As balloons were carried by the blowing wind, many were caught up on the school ground back stop. Several youngsters climbed to retrieve the b alloons and give them a chance to drift away. The balloons carried a message: Hi!! I am a PTA balloon. I was launched in Utah on September 9 at 2 p.m. Every school child in the state had the opportunity to send up a balloon for PTA. Now that you have found me would you please send a n ote to my friend back home to tell him how far I flew and how long it took me? Thanks! The gusty wind caught several balloons in the back stop at Central School's balloon launch on Sept. 9. Several young men captured the balloons to give them a second chance. The balloons drift a long way. Last year balloons were found across the county and in Eastern Canada. The special project is sponsored by the Utah Congress of Parents and Teachers who also launched balloons from the State Capital. The goal of the event is t0s. courage parents to join and k active in the PTA and to workil better education. fVALUABLE COUPON I The Total Look J j welcomes to its staff i !

She was not speaking of the ability to read but of the love of reading. There is much controversy over whether should learn i to read and if so, which is the best method. Each child is different and his level of understanding and development are different. Some I can learn to read, other children will not begin until they are five or I There are things that you can do though, to help your child develop "a love of reading." Begin at birth when the baby is still in a crib. I Provide stimulus for your child by using crib sheets with designs I rather than plain ones. Move the crib around occasionally to give the ' baby a different view and hang a mobile above the crib to provide I color and motion. 5 As parents you should talk to your baby, using correct English and I try to avoid "baby talk." If you want your child to speak correctly he must first hear it correctly. Read to your child aloud from the time he is Part of the benefit of early reading aloud to a baby and young child comes I from physical contact. Cuddle your child as you read and create a warm and pleasant time for sharing books, thus developing in the 1 child "a love of reading" they will associate with pleasure. I Provide books for the child that are appropriate for their age group " and development. Also let your child see you reading and enjoying it. As your child sees books and reading in his life he will learn lo read and he will love reading when he is ready to begin. valuable COUPON)" The Muffler Man I m is NOW in Town j !

Varsity team floats down Green River ala Powell Team No. 6832 of the Pleasant Grove 10th Ward floated 97 miles and spent six days on the Green River following the route of the 1869 Powell expedition. The combination of white water thrills, the original route of the first exploration of the Green River, and ancient" Indian ruins made this trip an exciting high adventure. Many hours were spent in service along the wilderness area of Desolation and Grey Canyons cleaning and improving camping spots. It was reported that water fights were the order of the day. The scouts took on every boat on the river, and even though many of the battles lasted for hours and through many rapids, the scouts emerged as the wet but victorious survivors. The trip from Sand Wash, Utah, to Green River State Park in Green River was an exciting experience they will not soon forget.
