'SERVING Volume 58 Number IS Y'all Take CHARLIE THOMAS, well known local figure, is shown with a bushol of tomatoes grown by Delta City Police Chief Tony Call-ister Call-ister and his family in their back yard. Mr. Thomas says in all of his 71 years he has never seen tomatoes such as these. The tomatoes to-matoes averaged approximately a pound each. He had great plans for Mrs. Thomas to make preserves preser-ves with the tomatoes. "I don't always shoot a little bull," Mr. Thomas grinned, "no kiddin', these here are the biggest big-gest tomatoes I've ever seen. Utah should be proud of produce like these. You know, this just goes to prove that Tony is mot on'y a good cop but he's a good gardener, gar-dener, too." Mr. Thomas, a great lover of West Millard County, arrived here in March 1919. He was born in Wil low Springs, Illinois. His father was killed in 1902 at the age of 23 years leaving his widow and five small children. "We had a pair of twins somewhere along there," Mr. Thomas explains. His mother mov-her mov-her family to Chicago to make their home. "That was a good woman. My mother. She needed help to ! raise that family and as soon as I was old enough to work I quit school to bring home what I could," he recalls. "She was a good Catholic Catho-lic and she raised us kids to be good Catholic but I've slipped some," he grins sheepishly. "She was a good woman." Life in the big city proved too difficult for the young mother and her children. In 1915 they moved to Babcock, Wisconsin, to be near her parents. Charlie enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1918. He received his discharge dis-charge on Jan. 23, 1919, his birthday. birth-day. He returned to Babcock for a visit with his family and decided that he wanted a change. He caught a train and headed west. He arrived in Delta March 21, 1919 amid a windstorm. His first night in Delta was spent in the old Ward Hotel. He married Verda Oppenheimer of Sugarville in 1921 in Fillmore. They are the parents of ten child- ! ren. They farmed the DaFoe place norm oi sugarville. Mr. inomas also al-so worked for the Ron Mortensen family for sixteen years. "Raisin" a family during those depression years was one of the greatest challenges ever faced by a ram," Mr. Thomas says.

And she still makes good bread. Of course, she don't make our butter anymore. There's something else I wan to tell you about that depres sion. Two fellas came out to see us and I guess they thought we needed help. They asked me about different things. I told them we were getting along just fine and didn't need their help. Finally one of them said, "Mr. Thomas, you know these cottontails make pretty good eatin'. Why don't you and the family try eating some of them?" I didn't like that and you know I'm always one to make a little joke, too, so I said, "Mister, I've fed my kids so much rabbits that when visitors come into the yard the kids thump on the ground and run under un-der the house." Well, that man threw his cee-gar to the ground. Stomped it out. Gave me a disgus ted look. Got in his car and drove away. We never did see them again." Charlie is a real family man and he's proud of his children and grandchildren. H 1 s conversation turns constantly to them. "I've got good kids. And I've got good grand Paul E.

(Picture by Mrs. Charlie Thomas. Story by Inez Riding.) n 7, -By INEZ RIDING AND TWO MORE BOOKS Bill Mortnsen recently stopped me on my travels about town and said he had a book that he thought I would like. The book was "Sand Pebbles" by Richard McKenna. Bill was right. I did like it. The main character of "The Sand Pebbles" is a quiet, unassuming unassum-ing young sailor that grew up in Nevada. The period of the book is the 1930's and the setting is a U.S. gunboat in China waters The main character was such a brave young man in such a quiet way who thought very little of him self. His love of the boat's machinery machin-ery dominated his whole being. Only On-ly when he was in the engine room did he- really gete an inkling of his worth. In a very real sense he was the backbone of the whole ship. He loved a young missionary girl who had little use for U. S. sailors. He never did seem to know that, though. It's a very good book and has been made into a movie starring Steve McQueen. The second book that I recommend recom-mend is a brand new one "The Return of the Sphnix" by Hugh MacLennon. This is a good study in Canadian politics and the "understanding" "un-derstanding" gap between a Canadian Cana-dian political figure and his son. The book is timely. The son is a young hothead who joins the group working for the seperation of Quebec Que-bec from Canada. The father believes be-lieves the future of Canada depends de-pends on a united country that recognize re-cognize both the French and English En-glish culture. All thru the book, I kept thinking think-ing of DeGualle's recent visit to our northern neighbor and his cries of "Viva La France." The Vietnam war is discussed in the book.

Mr. Henderson went to Alaska and joined the National Bank of Alaska as a loan officer in 1965 after serving three years in a simi-liar simi-liar position with a bank in Hawaii. He received a B.S. degree in finance fin-ance and banking from the Brig- ham Young University in 1963. Mr. Henderson is the son of Pres. and Mrs. Warren Henderson.
