S-- Z Combine Snares Youth Arlund Thaxton, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Thaxton, 3940 So. 2200 West found himself in a very unhealthy condition last Thursday afternoon. The Thaxton youth had been operating a wheat combine for Phil Condi in a field at 4173 West 4530 South. He had taken the machine out of gear, and go down to clean the elevator out, when through some unknown reason, the gears started again, pulling the boys leg into the machinery. Luckly for the Thaxton youth, a group of young boys were breaking Brashers to Welcome New Family Addition The family of Dr. Burton F. Brasher received a new addition to the family today, Thursday, Aug. 20. The new addition is Ann Mari Josephson, from Sweden. Miss Josephson was due to arrive at 6:25 a.m. by United Air Lines. The Brashers were on hand to welcome her at the air port The younger children of the Brashers were discouraged against such an early morning venture, therefore waited at home to greet their new sister. Ann Marie Josephson is a foreign exchange student who will attend Granger High when school convenes in the fall. The Brashers own children, Kent 11, Greg 8, Linda 4, and Karen 2, are all real excited over the aspects of a big sis18-year- -old the law by swimming in a near-b- y canal, hearing his calls for help, they ran to investigate. Melvin Clifford, 14, and one of the first on the scene, turned off the ignition. His companion, Jerry Borrowman, 11, ran to a near-b- y construction area to summon help. Carpenters, plumbers, men from the Salt Lake County Fire Department, all aided in rescuing the boy from his trap. The boy lay in this precarious position for one hour minutes before he and forty-fiv- e was finally released. Arlund Thaxton when finally released, was taken to Kearns Medical Center and was found to have sustained only scratches and bruises. Not as much can be said for the combine though, for after- the men got through using hack saws, wrenches, metal cutters, etc., it will be a regular gigsaw puzzle to put back together again. Young Thaxton is a student at Granger High School, and one of their track stars. His main concern was whether he could run again or not. - Farm Bureau To Sponsor Contest Baby Farm The Salt Lake BuCounty reau Womens Auxiliary is going to sponsor a Baby Contest to be held at the Salt Lake County aFir, Aug. 22, at 5 p.m. All babies living in Salt Lake County, ages 6 months to 18 months are eligible to enter.

Spaciousness and graciousness are depicted in the' modern home by wide expances of glass walls that open and combine two rooms into one, family areas with foating partitions etc. Doors were invented for closing, Civil Defense Gets Underway A meeting of Block Chairmen of District No. 6, under the chairmanship of Dr. Charles E. Parkin was missionary to speak. Returned Missionary To Be Speaker David Christensen, returned missionary, will be speaker at the Kearns Stake adult Fireside meeting, Sunday, Aug. 23 in the Kearns Ward Relief Society Room at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Christensen is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Christensen, Ari-mIdaho. He has just recently returned from serving a two-yemission in the Australian mission field. During the two years, he was in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. In his talk Sunday evening, he hopes to give a small insight to those attending on the Australian way of life in comparison to the way people live here in our land. He will also relate incidences that took place while he was on his mission in the Australian mission field. All adults of the community of Kearns are invited to attend the Kearns Stake Adult o, held Monday evening at the home of Mr. Parkin. At that time, final instructions were given to the block chairmen as to contacting the various homes in their areas for the public opinion poll that is being conducted in Kearns this week. The chairmen were also given their public opinion report sheets that will be filled out when contacting these homes. Thirty-tw- o block chairmen attended the meeting. ar District No. 6 also have a babysitting chairman, census chairmen, publicity chairman. It is gratifying that so many of the public are volunteering for committees. In District No. 6, five persons have volunteered for a telephone committee, five for a typing committee, two for a mimeograph committee g comand two for a mittee. that each member of the family could have privacy when they wanted to. Togetherness should be a matter of emotional rapport and not mere physical proximity. In this respect, the old fashioned house is far superior to its modern counterpart. It may have been cluttered and dark but at least it provided the tennants with places of refuge when they felt like being alone. Children require all the privacy they want, in these times of over organized activities, and the trial adjustment. The French recognize these needs, and most homes are designed to give each member of the family the maximum of privacy. Many homes of today have more space devoted to the car than to the children, with a large area for the barbecue pit and no study for the father, an all electric kitchen for mother to work in, but not a nook and corner for her to escape to for a few minutes of peace and solitude when the going gets rough. The great charm of the old house does not consist in the elegence of the living room or the graceful curves of the stairway, but the cool refuge of the basement, the redolent mustiness of the attic, the alcoves and turnings and just plain ' hiding places from the world.
