Early files of the paper were only partially bound, but the history of the community is shown in detail and J. Cecil Alter's "History of Early Utah Journalism" lists The Magna Times, then known as The Magna Banner. Eighteen years ago, newsprint could be bought for around $8.10 per 1 00 pounds. Now it costs over $18. Postage on the paper then was a meager sum, while now it continues to go up. Other operating costs in proportion have increased to bring the overall costs of produc-in- g The Magna Times to almost five times what it was 18 years ago. We wish to thank each and every person for their cooperation during the past year and also extend best wishes for their happiness and success. $ THE ENORMOUS profits and boost in prices of drug traffic are fantastic. Recently Willis Wynn, supervisor of physical education in Granite School District, cited figures on same. At the beginning, a kilo (2.2 pounds) of marijuana costs $2. By the time it changes and additives are used, that same $2 sells for $300 on Salt Lake Speed (amphetamines) which has a manufacture cost of $30 a pound, goes up to $11,200 on the black market. Morphine, which is the base of heroin, sells for $340 a kilo in Turkey, and by cutting it to a 5 percent mix, brings a final price of $225,000. Mr. Wynn remarked that the best way to combat the drug problem is to tell the young people and give them the true facts of the damage done by drugs.

I received such bright accounts of the family and their activities that I began to wonder if I were missed at all. Then a letter from my eldest daughter, Becky, removed all doubt. "Dear Mom," she wrote, this is the biggest house I ever saw since you have been away." RECENTLY, A pretty shop opened in Salt Lake City, selling miscellaneous gifts, and over the doorway, was this phrase: "Au Petit Bonheur. I asked the proprietor what it meant a little happiness. How suggestive a phrase. The little happiness, the modest joy . . . Moralists are always talking of the grand and comprehensive happiness. And to the romantic imagination, joy is conceived of as a great joy, an attitude, an ecstasy, a forever. But the French specialize in the petit bonheur: the small omelette, the little wine, the intimate foyer of enjoyment. Is it sour grapes to settle for the little happiness, to aim to make happiness out of the most modest ingredients: little things lovingly collected, simple meals in modest surroundings with unpretentious friends, discoursing, perhaps, on not too grand ideas? Do we tell ourselves the unspectacular moments satisfy only because all moments are threatened, because even gentle goods like honey, fruits, vegetables cannot be taken for granted any longer? How many millions in the world would now compound for the petit bonheur! over the desk, waiting their turn to apply are SIGNING UP For work, under provisions of Harold Masearenas and Pat Salazar.

Father's Day - Past and Present The king of the jungle provides a regal distinction for fa- thers among Dinka natives in Africa. Traditionally, young men of this tribe present their fathers with the skin of the first lion they kill! There are many other ways of making past and present the man of the house feel like a king. The ancient Greeks held a feast at which father was given the lions share of the best food and drink at the table, and a libation was poured to the fathers of the community. Our Father's Day originated in 1910 with Mrs. John Dodd of Spokane, Wash. The woman wished to honor her father, Wil- pre-dinn- liam Smart, for his devotion and kindness in rearing six children. In the United States, the third Sunday of June is now so Important an occasion that 50 million families are expected to spend more than a billion dollars each year on toiletries, ties, bowling balls, clothes, golf clubs, lawn mowers, a special chair, etc. A typical father in this community is Sam Martin, 3303 Magna, 83 years of age, who still works every day for M&M Prescriptions. As a representative father, we salute him. and wish all the other fathers in this area a Happy Fathers Day! Ru-lo- er MR. MARTIN,. , . .
