U2J Tulii, LINKING LEAPS PAST AND PRESENT --LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE "LEHi;UTAH; THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1947 NUMBER 25 Lehi Power Users Get Lowest Rate In State, According to Figures Released by Engineer Lehi City electrical consumers are enjoying one of the lowest domestic rates in the state, it is revealed by Dr. Thomas Adams, dty consulting engineer, who auotes figures from six representative repre-sentative communities to bear out this statement. These figures show that Lehi's rate for the first 25 kilowatt hours to the domestic user is only 88 cents, as compared with $320 for Logan. The rate to 600 J. w. h. is 9.20, as compared with 14.50 for Price. A complete tabulation follows: For the first 25 k. w. h.: Lehi $88; Price $1.68; Logan $3.20; provo $1.30; Kaysville $1.42; Murray Mur-ray $1.65. Up to 200 k. w. h.: Lehi $5.60; Price $6.50; Logan $5.31, Provo $5.48. Up to 600 k. w. h.: Lehi $9.20; Price $14.50: Logan $13.51; Provo $10.68; Kaysville $12.25; Murray' $13.50. Some of the cities attach as high as 5 per cent penalty for late payment. Since the city power plant was closed last summer, the peak load has increased to over 500 k. w. h., according to Mayor Dean Prior, an increase of over 50 k. w. h. Meanwhile, costs of pro-ruction pro-ruction have decreased from 1.8 cents under former power plant system to 1.17 cents at present, a saving of 6 to 7 mills over generation gen-eration costs. No loss check has been made yet, however, Mayor Prior said. Electrical consumers now total over a thousand, according to an estimate given last week by City Electrician Duane Woffinden. Mayor Prior added that complaints com-plaints have been reduced to a minimum, the only major inter-suption inter-suption of electrical service was several weeks ago when a transformer trans-former burned out, part of the southern section of town being left without electricity: -.overnight Trouble of this kind will be largely eliminated after sufficient suf-ficient new transformers have been released to replace the Farm Land Prices Will Take Decline Farm land values will probably decline when farm product prices and production become more nearly adjusted to larger-run larger-run domestic and foreign demand, de-mand, the Department of Agriculture Agri-culture warns farmers. Land values rose another 14 per cent during the last year and now stand within 11 per cent of the 1920 inflationary peak. By November No-vember 1, land values bad reached reach-ed a point 83 per cent above the 1935-39 average and were above 1920 levels over a large part of the country. Another bad feature of the situation is that more neoDle have gone into debt to purchase farms during each of the last 4 years than during any other year since 1920. Stimulating the demand de-mand for farms are such things as record high farm income, which increased more rapidly than operating costs, and a national na-tional income 2l2 times as high as before the war. When land prices have risen unduly, farmers will generally be better off in the long run to postpone farm purchases and use their income to retire debts, purchase savings bonds, and build up financial reserves to buy land later at safer prices, to replace re-place worn-out equipment, for improvements and better living levels. Work Begun On Survey For Sewer Dr. Thomas Adams has been retained as consulting engineer to design and supervise the construction con-struction of Lehi's sewer system, it is announced by Mayor Dean Prior. He has commenced work on a preliminary survey on grading grad-ing and other problems, and will present figures to the city council coun-cil as soon as an estimate has wen reached.

High School Principal Lloyd B. Adamson offered the Invocation, after which Mrs. Margaret McMillan Mc-Millan sang "Goodbye, Sweet Day," accompanied by Mrs. Ray Carson. The first speaker was Max Sharp, who paid tribute to Miss Thurman by stating, "She was a born teacher." He said she was genuinely interested in advancement advance-ment of students, and considered each of her pupils as an individual, individ-ual, striving to fit him for the highest calling his talents would permit. "She was a counsellor and advisor," he continued. "She could be one of a group of youth yet retain her dignity. She was inspirational, a true friend, and her passing is a great loss to the community," he concluded. Frank W. Shaw of the high school faculty played a violin solo, accompanied by Miss Fox, after which Bishop Ernest B. Garrett, also a fellow teacher, spoke. He traced the history of the Thurman family, showing that Margaret came from a family fam-ily of teachers, the combined years of their teaching service totaling 200 years. He said she had a strong desire to work with young people, and had ability to develop character in students. In conclusion he said, "Her efforts spent in helping others are testimony test-imony of the effect that she was a true Christian lady." Following a vocal solo, "The Lord's. Piayer," jsubg by, Armond E. Webb, accompanied by Miss Yvonne Ash, Bishop Goates gave a few brief remarks. The benediction was offered by Bishop Cecil L.

Pore-Blooded Indians More than half Bolivia's people are pure-blooded Indians; most of the rest are mixed Indian and white. Despite the mineral wealth, agriculture looms important in the future. Well-established crops are coca (source of cocaine), cottonj corn, coffee, cacao (source ol chocolate), choc-olate), sugar cane, rubber and cinchona cin-chona (source of quinine).

Expecting to be in the fight for the Alpine Division Di-vision championship this year, the five veteran performers will swing into action under direction of their new coach, Earl Holm-stead, Holm-stead, son of the coach who made basketball history for the local school some years ago. Orlln Wathen and Bob Roberts will be at forward position, with Earl Clark at center and John Meyers and Dean Peck at guard. Wathen, who stands only 5 feet 6, is a dead shot and fast on floor work and follow-in plays. Roberts, his 5 foot 10 partner, teams well with him, and the two should chalk up plenty of points. Earl Clark, who stands and even 6 feet, shoots well with either hand, and his feinting ability should place him in position for plenty of shots. Meyers and Peck, both seniors, were outstanding out-standing on the Pioneer team last year. Reserves are all new to league games this year, although good prospects for a winning combination. combi-nation. Don Rutledge and Dean Colledge are forwards, Donl Peterson will substitute at center, and Merle Evans and Wallace Berry are reserve guards.

Blake Hodening Horse Of British Isles Strange miracle plays were always al-ways intrinsic parts of the holiday season in the British Isles and in many such traditional perform ances, one of the characters rode a grotesque hobby horse. Gradually, the horse assumed the character, istics of a star performer and in time, stepping out of the play altogether, alto-gether, began going from house to house expecting hospitality, after frightening families half out of their wits. Of course, the Hodening Horse was no ordinary horse: two boys, covered with sheets and a horse blanket, usually supplied his vital ity; his wooden head was hideously hideous-ly carved with gouged eyes, hobnail hob-nail teeth, etc. The boys manipulated manipu-lated strings to make the teeth clank, etc., and sometimes placed a lighted candle in the hollow of the head to make the mouth seem to belch forth flames. In Wales, It was customary for the Hodening Horse to recite long extemporaneous verses: if the Horse outwitted his host, he was Invited in for cakes and cider. A less witty procedure was followed in some rural communities and along lonely roads: wealthy citizens and travelers were attacked by unknown Hodening Horses who demanded "fines" from their victims. erlng baskets and in defending their position, proving they have the stuff of which champions are made. fihut 7Wr Mrs. May Hansen, and Mrs. Helen Zuayle " returned- home Saturday from Palo Alto, California, Cali-fornia, where they visited with Mr. Basil Hansen for two weeks.

By WILLIAM RITT Central Press Writer A CHICAGO Inventor suggests sug-gests the building of dirigible balloon houses. The plan so far, unfortunately, is in the dream and not the blueprint stage. ! ! ! , At that, an airborne bunga tow would enable a householder to be a stay-at-home and a gadabout gad-about at the same time. ! ! ! The inventor didn't say, however, how-ever, how he'd manage to give the flying house a constant supply sup-ply of hot and c!d running water. T ! t One advantage of a sky-cruising mansion would be tho lack of a lawn to mow and sidewalks to free from snow. However, there'd be the nuisance of con-. stantly sweepirag clouds off the front porch. t I I The home in the heavens would be piloted from the living room. However, the back-seat driving advice would, no doubt, be supplied from the kitchen. I I !
