Often, it pointed ahead to a brighter day for those who had reached the dead end of worry and despair and of loneliness. , Now approaching the fifth house, he saw someone some-one waiting for him. Wiith a quickening step the postman walked on. He had no letter to leave three. No one had written any. "The unwritten letter," he said sadly, "It is the cruel letter." It was a discovery the postman had made many times. The unwritten letter was the most delayed sometimes lost opportunity to make someone happy. Moments saved by putting off the letter that should have been written were precious little compensations for good intentions that did not flourish.

The recommended dosage for either spray or dip is four pounds of 50 percent wettable DDT per 100 gallons of water. Spray equipment should be capable of producing 400 pounds operating pressure, to give best results in the control of both sheep ticks and cattle lice, the entomologist concluded. Bruce Nostrom Is Lauded In Magazine In the September 1947 issue of 'The Circuit" a magazine pub lished for the employees of Utah Fower and Light Co. (UDalco). appeared the following article. ATTENDANT'S SON r - - WINS ACCLAIM Sons and daughters of Upalco employees continue to achieve note in various fields of endeavor. This time it's baritone Bruce Nostrom, son of Jennie Nostrom, company office attendant at. Lehl. Acclaimed by local critics fol lowing a concert appearnace in Salt Lake City September 3, the promising young singer left for New York City the next day, where he will study at. the reknowned Julliard school of music.

Rich, Utah State Extension dairyman, dairy-man, warned today. "The best assurance of continued con-tinued income on the dairy farm during cold weather an extra stack of hay and a few bushels of farm grains in the bin," Mr. Rich said. Roughage is usually the cheapest cheap-est feed on the dairy farm, even though alfalfa is now above $20 per ton, he pointed out. Despite the high prices now be-; ing paid for grains, Mr. Rich warns farmers against selling themselves short on feed. "Some farmers have been tempted to rush out and sell their farm grains and find themselves short of feed next spring or they often sell their own grains and buy ready mixed feeds." Good alfalfa silage and farm grains are good for a 350 or 400 pound herd level. Other good dairy practices that farmers should observe, especially espec-ially this time of year, include having plenty of bedding and an open shed or barn well-bedded down, also good feed racks in which to put the roughage. "Cows do not need to be kept In a warm place. But they do need a dry place and warmth where they lie down." Paul Willes Will Leave On Mission Mr. and Mrs.James P.

Dorothy Bone TO SUCH AS I October! flinging filmy veil, You drift along the woodland trail Unmindful of the wistful pain That with your coming lives again. Small whispers stir across tne grass And sadness breathes where-er you pass. - . You laugh and frolic, cap awry For you leave sadness to such as I. On gypsy feet, with lavish hand You scatter charm throug all the land Trees sprout gold at your Midas - touch, Leaves fall scarlet from your pixie clutch To flutter through your purple haze And splash to rest in leaf displays. I weep for beauty soon to die, But you leave weeping to such as I. Deon Mickel Beck CHALLENGE She asked me for a poem To print upon The Sun. I said I didnt think I had A satisfactory one. She said, "Come on; we know you write. Send us a line or two. It needn't be a masterpiece . Most anything will do." And so, one day, while on my way Around my garden, fair, Thrilled with the beauty and perfume per-fume Around me everywhere, I thought, "Why not just pass it on In words that rhyme?" And then I sat right down to muse and write; My soul poured from my pen. With misgivings I had gained From a former printer's error, I sent these verses to The Sun, Hoping their fate would be fairer. And through the days that followed I couldn't help but wonder If, by some kindly chance, they could Come through without a blunder. Then from the broad face of the Sun, My poem smiled hopefully. With eagerness I read! Then reeled At what they'd done to me! A word mispelled A line left out, Two words made into one! And where were punctuation marks,, Nary a single one! Furious, I paced the room, And threw The Sun upon the floor. I vowed I'd never muse again; My writing days were o'erl But Time, the Healer, works his way, Balm we can always borrow. What fosters grim disgust today May speed a smile tomorrow. Once more, I offer to The Sun A simple theme in rhyme. If it's accepted, muddled not, I'll come again sometime. Fern Russon |
