I, Tibby, am refering to the small small talk that goes on about you when you're not there, of course. When the boys are talking in the locker room at gym do they rate you as smooth material? When the girls are chorusing of an evening about this-- a and that-- a and who's with whom these days do they label you as a good friend, a likeable type, a sought after queen? Is the 'twist-Tom-and-Tilly-t- alk of the type that terms you a terrific teen or a troublesome trick? Do members of the human race ages 12 to 20 agree that you always show up looking pert, always end up doing the right thing at the right time? Are they aware that you know when to stand by them and when to stand up to them? These are questions to consider if your life and your happiness concern you at all. And of course they do. Show me an unconcerned teen, and I, Tibby, will show you an unpopular unhappy one. Get smart, teens. Spend a night doing some careful and honest injun self-analysi- s. Find out about YOU. See yourself as others see you. When you discover your unpleasant habits and tendencies, start up a campaign of self-improvem- It's the only way. You can read and study and watch and learn about how to be popular. But if you don't DO something about it, where does all this knowledge get you? So c'mon, teens, I, Tibby encourage you to make the effort toward constant DO something to better yourself everyday. And then the talk about you will be GOOD! "Teen-Talkers- " OLYMPUS JR. HIGH by Nick Sturgeon Primary elections for next year's student-bod- y officers were held Thursday, April 18, at Olympus Jr. Students voted in the districts in which they were registered before school or during noon. Candidates still in the running include Jeff Mix and Al White for President, Doug Barnes and Billy Hoge for Vice President, Tat Carman and Lourene Taylor for Secretary, and Ruthie Romney and Joan Stapleton for Historian. . The Olympus Jr. Bulldogs went down to a 3-- 2 defeat at the hands of Valley Jr. in a baseball game at Olympus on Wednesday, April 17. Rug Factory (Continued from rage 1) ' Deseret Industries stores in Salt Lake Valley, Ogden, Logan, Provo and Los Angeles. They are sold through Relief Society groups, also. They have been so popular that stores as far away as San Francisco, Los Angeles and St Louis have asked managers Stewart B. Eccles and Holger M. Larsen if they might buy the rugs to sell in their stores. However, the factory is operated as part of the welfare program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, and the pro-ducts are all distributed through Deseret Industries stores and Re-lief Society groups. The rugs are woven in many sizes from two feet to six feet wide, and in many lengths. It would even be possible to weave a rug as long as 750 yards. Mr. Larsen estimates that is takes half a pound of wrap, or thread, plus two-and-a-h- alf pounds of rags to make a 27"x54" rug. A goodly portion of the work in the factory is custom weaving. Many persons have contributed rags to help make up the 750 pounds needed each day in the factory. By phoning DA 71 they can get a truck to come right to their door to pick up their contributions of rags. The looms and other equipment for the Sugar House factory were acquired for Deseret Industries three years ago when Mr. Eccles went east to investigate the pos-sibility of buying such items. "Everywhere we went, we were invited to leave." Mr. Eccles said. "The factory owners were so afraid of competition, they were not willing to discuss their opera-tions." Finally, he found a factory own-er in New Jeresy who was ready to retire. He was willing to sell his looms providing Deseret Industries would buy all his other machinery. Three railroad cars were required to ship it to Sugar House. When the machinery arrived, Jess Long of Tooele was assigned to set it up and put it in running order. There were no "do-it-yours- elf instructions with, the used looms, but Mr. Long was more fortunate than those men who set up the original Sugar Mill here. Long had the help of the photo-graphic memory of Mr. Eccles. According to Mr. Larsen, Eccles can tour a plant, grasping the methods and function of the entire operation as he goes. Thus he was able to explain how to set it up, to mechanic Long. Tours of the factory can be arranged for church and civic groups by dialing DA 71 for an appointment.
