Our boys dont get a fair shake. The only way to win Is to pin, then they have to do that 2 or 3 times. Theres too much dlscreptancy between the two schools since they were built. There are a lot of parents that would like to see a referee from out of the Basin, Just to see if our boys are really that bad, or If there Is favoritism for Uintah. You cant tell me that a coach that has attended school with a referee from high school through college wont be partial to that school. Parents help our boys so they'll keep up their good work. Lets give them a little confidence by standing by them. Jane Edwards and Wrestling fans from Uintah and Duchesne County.

Tridell Utahn White rock a At Christmastime, 1969 The celebration of Christmas takes on added meaning each year. It reminds us that material success holds value if we neglect the spiritual. The strongest tie in human endeavor is that of the family, and through this tie we project our good wishes and feelings to those around us. Some of us express the holiday in material ways through an exchange of gifts, others through an exchange of cards, personal visits or telephone calls. But they all focus on the main little i theme of brotherly love. It is the time of year when in spite of some commercial overtones, becomes contagious when friendly, kind thoughts and actions are directed toward our fellow-maIt is a time when voices are heard in song and prayer and the cares of the world melt away. Let us try to extend the quality of the Merry Christmas of Christmas Day to the other 364 days in the year by looking for positive ways to further of all mankind. the well-bein- g good-fellowshi- n.
