Show Remember when. I had one of those mornings last week when I stood and looked in the bathroom mirror and sobbed. My hair was hanging in greaselets, my pores looked the size of dimes and 1 felt as if I was standing in clutter to my knees. After that tragic awakening, I decided to get with it. I planned to go shopping that afternoon and accordingly prepared myself. I bathed with the smallest soap in the house, put my money where my mouth was, used the proper mouthwash so that my friends wouldnt have to tell me, wore my cross your heart bra and put my blue bottle friend" in my purse. I know you think I had an auia of instant charisma. I . thought so too. 1 I dashed out to the car, smirking in anticipation. My first stop was a local department store where I waltzed to the cosmetic counter. While I waited, I browsed and tried all the sensual scents. The salesgirl waited on the customers before me, the customers after me and then started to talk on the phone with her boyfriend I hesitantly Would you mind showing me some age spot whispered, removal cream?" She minded. My next stop was the grocery store. All through the store, I kept telling myself things like, Shes young and ignorant. She doesn't know any better. She's shallow . . petty. Im a mature woman and I naturally appeal to a discerning type of person. I almost convinced myself, but as I was standing at the checkout stand, a friend - I mean someone I used to like said, Jan, Ive been meaning to call you. Have you heard about Overealers Annomyous?" I slunk out to the car and slowly drove home. I shuffled into the house and comforted myself with a candy bar and a ! -- drink. Just as I was feeling better someone called and told me about her new home. Speaking of her new neighborhood, she They are said, "I really like it, but everyone is all middle aged." Forever daring, I asked, What do you think is middle soft aged Oh, forty, she replied. Hanging up the phone, I went into the bedroom to put on my nightgown. I felt like Id better crawl between the sheets and plan my funeral. Perhaps some of my old, friends might come. I was standing there holding my flannel nightie, sunk deep in self pity when one of my children came in and said, When I grow up, I hope that Im as pretty as you I)o you wonder why I adore being a mother? p IIILetfers So Edi Ur I new built : have learned that the Bicentennial facility on the Salt Palace as well as the Capitol Theatre, are to be called the Salt Palace I personally take Center. exception to the name proposed. The buildings were to commemorate the nation's Bicentennial and that connotation should remain with the name. Secondly, the facilities do not belong to the Salt Palace, its Board, the Bicentennial advisory committee (who made the decision on the name), or only to the people of Salt Lake County. The news release states this facility is owned by the people of Salt Lake County. This is a gross misconception. The facilities for which the appropriations were made, the arts center and the Capitol Theatre, to the people of the State of Utah, as well as to the people of Salt Lake Grounds, County. The state retains title to a proportionate share of the buildings from the made by the Utah State Legislature plus the interest made available to the commission from the appropriation. Without this appropriation from the Legislature there would probably never hae been a center for the arts. There were no monies available at Ky .. The first Roy Day celebration, other than on a holiday, was held July 11, 1940 at the Roy City Park. events led to this first annual Some interesting celebration, principally, the formation of the Civic Improvement Organization which was initiated Jan. 11, 1940 at a meeting held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Whitson. Mrs. Joseph W. Jensen was appointed temporary chairman and Mrs. N. Eldon Steck, acting secretary. On Feb. 7, 1940, a public meeting was held at the Roy School to further the development of the organization. From d this gathering, the following committee heads imwere chosen to carry out the plans for the city-wid- e provement programEdwin Howes, O. Dean Parker, Grant Gibby, Mrs. W.T. Whitson and Mrs. N. Eldon Steck. They were not assigned, however, to their respective committees until the meeting held five days later. At that time Edwin Howes was put in charge of public relations and civic beautification, assisted by Mrs. Joseph W. Jensen, Mrs. Roy Kuhns, William Clark and Joseph Ogden. O.Dean Parker was appointed chairman of the roads with the following committee members: R.V. Stubbs, Reid Jensen, James Q. Davis, Phillip A. Dix and Lloyd Berrett. Grant Gibby was placed in charge of the committee on Youth Interests, aided by Arnold G. Holland, Raymond Terry and Ionard Howes. The membership and entertainment committee was headed by Mrs. Whitson, assisted by Mrs. Roy Tullis, Mrs Leda Hamblin, and Mrs. Lyle Lakes. Mrs. Steck continued as secretary of the organization. The enthusiastic and industrious committee members soon had the cooperation of the whole town in putting over their first big effort, initiating what was to become the annual Roy Days celebration. Rivalry was high in the selection of a Queen to reign over the festivities of that 11th day of July in 1940. The honor finally fell to lovely Roma Baker. After the parade, which had used the creativity and the cooperation of all the children in the town, everyone congregated at the city park to participate in the schedule of activities. These included lunch, sports, a variety of contests and races for the young and old alike, a baseball game between competing Roy teams in the Farm Bureau League and a polo match between a Roy and Hooper team. But to begin it all, was the program, Joseph W.

Perhaps the people of the state and their elected representatives, as well as Lake County, should help to select a name for the Salt Bicentennial facilities. It might have the full title of the Utah Bicentennial and Center for the Arts then for a short title be called the Arts Utah Center. Lets have a name with more dignity, imagination and great representation than "Salt more Palace Center. Erncstll. Dean S late Senator by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale Sinful or cracked? Q. More and more women wear pants suits where I go to church. A few say its wrong. My grandma says its wrong to wear them any time. A book I read said that in olden days a woman who dressed like a man was either sinful or cracked. Is it wrong for a woman to wear slacks and pants suits, especially to church? A. The worship of God, the Heavenly Father, the King of Kings, the Creator of the Universe, is never to be a light or frivolous act. If one were to be received by the President of the United States, he or she would dress respectfully and appropriately. dress is no sign of respect to the Sloppy or While we ourselves Deity. prefer dresses for women in church, since prevailing style considers pants suits respectable, there is no real reason why such dress should not be acceptable as proper attire for public worship. Need to win them back am a disabled veteran, 28 years old, a college student, have been married almost eight years now and have a son six years old. Three weeks ago my wife left and filed for a divorce. I know she loves me, but she tells me she cannot live with me because I have a bad temper, a negative attitude toward everything and cannot show my love. I think now she is right about my ways. I know with help I can change, and change permanently, and make my wife feel wanted and loved. I dont think I ever realized how much I love and need my family until now. How can I win my familys love again? A. The answer to your question is very simple. Change yourself from what you are to what you ought to be. One of the greatest facts about human nature is that no person needs to remain as he is. Obviously you know what you should do. Curb that bad temper and change from a negative to a positive attitude. Granted, that is not all that easy. But I have personally seen thousands of people change. And the'best way to do it is to let Somebody change you. And you know who that Q. I Somebody is! We have a booklet, THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, which has helped others with problems such as yours, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone reading this column who would like a free copy of the booklet may obtailn one by writing to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Afraid of failure T uonvcA -- Vo be (k. dc nnvj moWiv 1 o be an undejr-fTbe-v-e- . a, DiPtren c.t . Mm. r. u a rev At age 37 my husband returned to school to study Q. mortuary science. It was a hard, grueling program and he literally "sweated it out. I studied along with him, typed his papers, worked at a job to help pay his fees. It was a struggle, but we had unshakable faith that God meant this for him. After four years he graduated and we borrowed heavily and set up our funeral chapel. My husband is doing a magnificent job for the few families who have come to us, but people in our community continue to go to our only competitor. Expenses are high and money goes mighty fast. I have gnawing fears and doubts that God doesnt hear us any more. I dont want to become bitter and have my faith in God weakened by what possibly could be ambition or vanity, or both. I cant seem to find the answer within myself right now. Please give your suggestions. A. It is curious that when business doesnt go so good, God is always held accountable for it. Mortuary work is a business the same as any form of activity. First, make sure your community can support a second funeral chapel. Then, study and read and get to understand the principles of communication and personal relationships and human helpfulness. In due course you will begin to build a clientele. You can establish a growing business if you serve people in a way that is pleasing to them. Getting bitter isnt going to help you. On the contrary, it will hurt you, because people will pick it up and avoid doing business with you. But a loving, positive attitude will draw them to you. income-producin- g wBiratf Ibegnims Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of stories about the earlier days of Roy. This weeks story is about the first Roy Days celebration held in 1940. the time which would have made it possible to apply for matching federal funds. The legislation passed in the 1974 and 1975 Budget and Outlook good for hospital led the citizens in a moment of silence to honor the memory of the first settlers in the town. Jesse Stoker was awarded a $10 prize for having the most descendents, which number 23. Runners-u- p were B.L. Bybee with 13 and William E. Dalton with 12 descendents. A street dance climaxed the event of the day. The second annual Roy Days celebration sponsored by the Civic Improvement Organization was held July 10, 1941. Pretty Miss Norma Brown was chosen Queen with Miss Renee Russel and Miss Bernice Child as attendants. Floats were entered by various organizations and the Weber County Sheriffs Posse added color and interest to the parade and the year old town band, under the direction of Levi Parker, furnished the music for the occasion. The feature of the day; , were the trick riders and ropers of Bus Calsons Troupe and their trained horses, and a carnival. Other interesting events, races, contests, ball games, etc., continued through the day with a dance concluding the activities at the park. Residents of Roy and the surrounding towns and visitors from all over the state came to enjoy the special Home Towm event. Through the years this community revival, so to speak, has done much to keep the town aware of itself and its own importance in the scheme of things. Working and planning and playing together has established enduring friendships and solidified community goals.

Staff The new Weber County Hospital Administrator is taking some definite steps forward to project a positive image to the community about the facility he heads. At the end of February, a meeting was held at the heads of departhospital with the county commissioners, ments and staff, all the way down the ladder to aides and according to David Van Moorlehem, adorderlies, ministrator. He described the meeting as informative as to the needs of the staff and the problems they encountered in d discussion, performing their jobs. It was an "open-endewith no agenda or topics to be discussed in particular. Van Moorlehem described the meeting as productive and one that he plans to have every three months to keep the lines of communication open between all levels of the hospital. His actions to have these meetings should be commended. This is definitely a step in the right direction to get the hospital again respective in the eyes of the county residents. For so long, this facility has been the object of numerous attacks and a political football for some to toss around lightly. Many have had ideas that might have worked to make a go of the hospital, but with the hiring of a competent administrator by the county commission with vision, the hospital can move forward helping those in the county who need medical attention but are financially unable to totally foot the bill for the care. The hospital is needed by the county to help its residents and should be preserved. It is a helping hand to those in need and hopefully, as soon as possible, it can be a facility. But, until the time that Medicare and Medicaid monies for qualified patients can be obtained, county residents should be glad that they are able to help the needy. With these meetings as initiated by Van Moorlehem, the staff will be able to give quality care in their jobs with the open lines of communication aiding that process.
