The group's first weekly
meeting was held Nov. 12. at
the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Marshall Woodell. Three films
were shown cocerning the
meaning of the humanities.
The next meeting will be
held Nov. 19. and other meet
ings will be scheduled
throughout the year.
The junior class has
planned to hold two activities
which will help pay expenses
at the Prom next spring. One
of these is the annual Sadie
Hawkins dance which was
held Nov. 17 at the high
school.
The other event will be a
style show which will be open
to the public for a small ad
mission charge. The slyle
show will be held Dec. 1;
dresses will be modeled by
junior class girls and Ihe
dresses are being loaned by
local merchants.

spring: but after holding hear
ings. Congress let the bill die.
Internior Secretary Stewart
Udall plans lo launch a ma jor
drive for the conservation
fund bill in the new Congress.
But the direct annual tax on
boats is expected to be quietly
dropped, possibly in favor of a
one-shot excise at the manu
facturing level.
Major source of revenue for
the fund under the new plan,
according to administration of
ficials, will probably be an
automobile sticker which
citizens will buy if they wish
to use various federal outdoor
recreation areas, such as
parks, campgrounds and pic
nic sites. User fees currently
are charged for some areas,
such as selected national
parks, but not others.
Politically Palatable
Some officials regard the
auto sticker as more political
ly palatable than the annual
boat tax. as well as more fair
because it would apply only
to those who use recreation
areas developed or maintained
with federal funds.
While some boaters use in
land lakes and reservoirs cre
ated by government dams,
many others use rivers, bays.
