Dinner ft Open House Planned Duchesne Legionaries to fly 1 00 flags this week Combined donation! from Duchesne American Legion Post 22, Duchesne City, the Duchesne lions Club and many, many businesses has made the purchase of 100 new American flags possible. The flags will fly along Duchesne's main street on Tuesday for Election Day and on Saturday to mark the observance of Veteran's Day. The flags will also be flown along the Altamont Highway, Indian Canyon Road (Highway 191) and on the road leading to the county fairgrounds. The whole town has contributed towards it. Some of the flags were 25 to 30 years old, so they are all new ones now. The American Legion members bought them and put them together. We are gningto put up the rest of the brackets today, said Vem . Peterson, adjacent for Post 22 and State American Legion Public Relations officer. He added that the theft and destruction of S300 worth of American flags adorning main street last August during the county fair also spurred the need to buy new flags and more of them. A teenage girl and a woman were charged and confessed to the thefts. They were ordered to pay restitution, but Peterson said he hasn't seen any of the money so far. In addition to their flag project, Duchesne's American Legion Post which recently added 16 new memwill sponsor a dinner this bers Friday from 2 7 p.m. at the Legion Hall in Duchesne lor all Legion members. Thedinner is free for the widow by Cheryl Meckam 'or crying out when I told her that our nest door neighbor Mr. Hopkinson had confronted me and warned me never to push his daughter down again. In my outrage at my friend's ultimate betrayal I clenched my fists at my sides and told Linda's father to "go to helL A pretty strong statement coming from an 11 year old who had never been exposed to the likes of Bart Simpson or Beevis and Butt Head. Not had I grown up in a household where swearing was al- "Yes! Mom, I swear!. She slipped! I never touched her! I declared and then it came to me. I never tagged her! "I am still IT! There was a moment of dead silence. She straightened, her hands on her hips she scrutinised my face. "You're still it? -- lowed. My mother was horrified, as I knew she would be. But 1 needed an afly and I needed one in a hurry. Someone big and strong who could block the door and call the police just incase Mr. Hopkinson came storming over from his house with the intent to maim or kill the smart-mout- h kid nest door. At least that's what I thought might be his intent after he had wheeled around and stomped back across the street muttering under his breath. Through my tears I told her the whole tragic sequence of events that led up to the confrontation on that hot summer afternoon. We were playing tag. I was "IT." Linda was running and I was in hot pursuit. She was heeding toward her house, I was right behind her just a step or two away. She was running toward their car and then it happened. She slipped and slid right under their old Buick. I reached under to pull her out but she didn't take my hand. When she did roil out, her elbows and knees smeared with blood she hit my hand away. screamed something I couldn't understood and ran inside. "She slipped on the pavement?" My mom asked, squinting her eves, her face flushed now and leva to mine. Ya. she had her church shoes on! It was like she fell on ioe and she went all the way under the car, I told her. Mother was shaking a bit and red blotches we re popping up around her neck. It was a sure sign she had reached her maximum agitation out-pu- t level. "Are you telling me the absolute truth? she demanded. "Yep! Another long silence. I didn't dare say another word. It could go either way now. She could point to my room and tell me that she never wanted to see my face again, or she could take me up into her arms and swear an oath tocut out Mr. Hopkinson 'shear! and feed it to the dog for wronging me. She did neither, instead she said, "Ok. Ok. If you're still it, then you didn't push her. Why would she go and say that after all? That little trouble maker! Well, if Mr. Hopkinson comes over here and says one thing, 111 tell him . I'll just tell him to go to hell too!" It was my turn to be shocked. It was the first time I had seen my mother impassioned about anything. She was downright bold. 1 let out my breath and leaned sgainst her, wrapping my arms around her waist She was my ally! We waited anxiously all afternoon for the phone or doorbell to ring but nothing happened. Mr. Hopkinson dropped the matter. Which was just as well, because a week later Linda and I were skipping down the street I told her 1 was sorry she fell and got all scrapped up but I didn't push her. She tola me she was sure I did posh her, why else did die fall? I suggested her rather impractical fbot wear. She scoffed. We laughed. Mr. Hopkinson and I avoided each other and life was good, but best of all was the realisation that my mother would fuigiveacuss and come to my defense, that is as long as I told her the truth and didn't break any moral, ethical or state laws. Because if 1 did, I also knew shed be the first one with a rope to string me up. She was tough but fair and fortunately for my kids, I'mtiying to be just like her. On Saturday they will host an open house at the Legion Hall in honor of Veteran's Day. The open house will begin at 11:11 a.m. and last all afternoon.

GALLOWAY RAISERS -- WO- In additiun to trying to earn the usual extra dough to help out in the classroom or with the team, Tabiona is in the procese of raising 85,000 to go towards the purchase of new playground equipment. That project ha called for the creation of a special Playground Fund Committee which has come up with a somewhat unusual, but profitable enterprise malungcalendars for 810 marked with birthdays, anniversaries of the purchasers and ad from area businesses. She reports that thanks to fluid raising efforts the committee is within 8700 of reaching their goal. MURDER 1 to spend a lot of money to make money, Eckels explained. "What they can do vanes from sc and what their needs are. Ws have tried having one or two huge ftwd hod-to-scho- raisers instead of several little ones, but there isn't a way to make everyone happy." Not only do teachers and PTA board have to decide what to sell, they also have to deal with some "pretty pushy representatives from professional ftind raising companies. "The reps an worse than used car salesman! They dangle thee carrots over their heads and turn the kids into little solicitors, lamented one school administrator. Kids who sell the most for their class or school are inspired by prom-ieof fantastic prises offered by the companies but are often disappointed by substandard good they receive for their ambitious efforts r left waiting for a prise that is never aent. At different times moat schools have tried the "no-fun-d fundraiser where parents and patrons are asked to donate money rather than purchase something. After aU, plenty of people will tell you they would just rather give a donation than be pestered by small salespeople. But guess what? It didn't work, said Duchesne Elementary Principal Fred Arko. "Last year our PTA just asked people (ogive donations because when we sell things the school only gets half of what they raise. he related. The only problem was that the money that cams in a few hundred dollars didn't match what the Hind raisers bring in.

When it come to contributing to schools to provide them with some extras, ask any one involved in fluid raising and they will tell you that local merchants are "incredible, even in the email towns" when it comes to donating, often going above and yond the call of duty.

"Certain things we do for money and certain things w do to give back to the community," said Moon. "We try to provide something they need or want and every piece has their own needs.

There were apparently no otoer attempts to interview the prime suspect. The man if he is still would be alive. The Galloway murder case was profiled in 1980 by police consultants who said that the execution of the crime pointed to someone who was possibly just startings killing spree.
