It J7S-V1T r Am, Fork hT31. f These are the times when It's good to be alive. Clear sunny days, Just warm enough to make the cool of the evening enjoyable. The other morning I arose at four-thirty; not from choice but from necessity. I nao a waier turn that couldnt be missed; things were getting really dry. v In .the hush of the pre-dawn solitude, I turned my eyes upward up-ward and.Jxheld.,a most inspiring inspir-ing sight. Never have the heavens heav-ens Seemed more resplendent The Clear dry air of Utah Valley's semi-arid atmosphere maae me stars burn with such a flrery brilliance, that they seemed al most close enough to touch. Before a background or my riads of twinkling lights, the great atara Vega, Slrius, and Capella biased forth with all their celestial beauty, In the north the Great Bear pointed unfailing toward the North Star as he has done for the -past millions of years; while In the West the gigantic planet Jupiter shone brilliantly with the re flected light ot the hidden sun. To us who live in inis war- torn world, where hate, strife, and selfishness so warp our minds, a survey of the heavens in the quiet of the early morning morn-ing hours Is a most comforting experience. . One cannot contemplate the wonders of the celestial sphere without being Impressed with the thought that the ways of God are always serene and good. It Is only man, with his blind and selfish- acts, that bring unrest un-rest and Insecurity. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmarent showeth his handywork". Psalms 19-1. ;( SEPTEMBER The maple leaves shut out the vivid light Of a warm sun whose waning Summer powers. Make lacy patterns creep across the grass Toward the nodding Autumn- tinted flowers. The fhrtar locust drones his ' lonesome dirge Beyond the dusty fence rows sere and hoanr: And filmy mists enshroud the distant hills, ' ' Bespeaking days In Indian Summer Sum-mer Glory. The corn leaves rustle in the vagrant breeze, That bears the flicker's melancholy melan-choly eall; -. -' And butterflies resume their aimless flight. Above . the dielng - milkweeds Shark and tall. . Provo River Asks-Saving Does Inflation threaten America? Ameri-ca? Can we do anything to help?. -.; -- - The Board ot Directors of the Provo River Water Users Association Associa-tion (Deer Creek) proposes to save the government one and one-fourth million dollars. The Bureau of . Reclamation wants the Provo River Water Users Association to borrow this money of the government so they can build a power plant at Deer Creek reservoir in Provo canyon. ,. The Association's contract provides pro-vides that we may build the Ewer plant "with the consent of e Secretary of the Interior," or the Bureau may build It We want to build It ourselves. So we asked Provo City, Geneva Steel and Utah Power and Light company to bid on. it Utah Power and Light company made the best bid. They offered to build the plant themselves, pay us $40,000 each year for electricity it produced and at the end of 50 years give the plant to the Deer Creek As sociation free. The Deer Creek Board of Directors Di-rectors are convinced this offer of Utah Power and Light com pany is at least half a million dollars better for the farmers and stockholders in Deer Creek than for the Bureau to build the power plant But the Bureau asks the Secretary Secre-tary of the Interior to withhold his consent We are asking help from the Citizen to get this Information In-formation before the public Yours very truly, . - member ot the Deer Creek Board of ' Directors.
