With the hurry-flurry of getting out the 1968 Strawberry Days advertising edition, an anniver-' sary of sorts passed us by unnoticed. un-noticed. That's right, Battle Creek Breeze was 16 years old last Thursday. Sixteen times 52 equals 832 and that's the total number of "columns" that have appeared in the lower left hand corner of the Review without a miss since June 2, 1950. i It's been a pleasant task and. a rewarding dne too. I know the "Breeze" has made me numerous friends and a few enemies. This I know to be true because both have told me so. Some folks I never would have known except for the column and that's nice to contemplate. Readers, new to this area, frequently ask how I came by , the title of the weekly epistle, "Battle Creek Breeze." Per haps if I repeated my first column, col-umn, Jun 2, 1950, those interested inter-ested would understand. It reads thus:: When I was a lad, I used to go in company with my father, up Battle Creek Canyon and "over the ridge" to snake out dead aspen logs for the winter ' fires. 4 K ! t" !

But when we returned in the evening the same breeze was now rushing up the canyon, with equal eagerness. Being too young to understand under-stand such things as air densities densi-ties and barometric pressures, I always wondered why Battle Creek breezes always behave as they do. This is just one of the many and varied natural phenonema that makes Utah Valley such a .beautiful place in which to live. The verdant hues of spring time, changing to the mature greens of summer j only to be succeeded by the reds and yellows yel-lows of early autumn and the glistening whites of winter. In the words of William Cul-len Cul-len Bryant, "To him, who in the love of nature holds communion com-munion with her invisible forms, she speaks a various language." End of quote. Since "Battle Creek" was this community's first name, and since my grandad was one of the first permanent settlers here, I just like the name and the people who live here. To me, that's reason enought. So long 'til Thursday. of Action I DR. ELLIOT C. HOWE Mission President Dr. Elliott C. Howe Appointed Head Of LDS Mission Dr. Elliott C.

Unknown Un-known to the present youth of our city is the experience of arising in the cool sunless hours to fill cup after cup with the ripe, red berries until the patch was finished in the heat of the day. Modern refrigerated transportation has reconstructed reconstruct-ed the entire marketing situation situa-tion and the impact has been felt in Pleasant Grove. Strawberries are no longer grown on a large scale in our city but the celebration that the strawberry harvest gave birth and nurtured flourishes successfully suc-cessfully as a monument to those fore sighted citizens of yesteryear and a tribute to the current boosters of today. Strawberries are a symbol of our proud heritage and a banner ban-ner to the community spirit that 1 pervades our city. It is in this spirit that the t Strawberry Days Association announces its program for the events of the 1966 celebration. Strawberry Sales Days will be conducted by the business houses of Pleasant Grove from May 26th through June 14th, with valuable prizes to be given lucky ticket holders at the June 10th and 14th drawings.
