Show - -- Pape 4 Ben Lomond Beacon OdDW E)&)7li By Carol Jean Shaw Anyone who has lived in North Ogden for any length of time perks up when they hear Cherry Days. Cherry Days is the big celebration around here. It is an annual event, involving a large percentage of the community in activities that span a week culminating in y celebration on an all-da- 4. July The celebration began back in 1932, when a group of d individuals a formed organization to laud the cherries for which North civic-minde- non-prof- it Ogden was then famous. The celebration was a combined effort of the committee, the Growers Association, Cooperative the Ogden LDS Ward North and the North Ogden Kiwanis Club. The celebration continued on a more or less annual basis until the early 60s when it died out. Big years were 1957 and 1958, when they were trying to earn the money to build the North Ogden swimming pool. In 1974, the city fathers decided to revive Cherry Day. It has grown and expanded every year, until now it includes activities that appeal to almost everyone. In order to make Cherry Days the huge success that it is, hundreds of people get involved, planning, building floats, cooking, practicing, or doing any of the many jobs that need to be done. But the man who coordinates it all is Dale Wride. Dale has been the spark plug behind the Cherry Days celebration for seven years, ever since it has been sponsored by the city. The booths arent even taken down or the litter picked up before Dale is planning how he can make Cherry Days better the next year. He is always on the lookout for ways to make things nm smoother and new activities to make it more exciting. New this year is a Mother of the Year contest.

By Jane Bergen Calvin Coolidge was born July 4, 1872, in Plymouth, Vermont. He was educated at Amherst and graduated in 1895 with a degree in Law. Later on he was a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives, a mayor of Northampton, member of the Massachusetts senate, then graduated on the presidents position within the senate. In 1916 to 1918 he was lieutenant-governo- r, became of the United States in 1921 to 1923 and when President Harding died in San Francisco, Calvin Coolidge became the thirtieth President of the United States of America. Calvin Coolidge was spending the summer with his family at Plymouth Notch, Vermont, a small village in the foothills of the Green Mountain country. His father woke his son in the middle of the night, and quietly told him the news about the death of President Harding. The son, quietly dressed and went down stairs into the parlor of the farmhouse. Are you still a notary public? he: asked his father, the elder Coolidge. Yes, was the answer. Then you will administer the oath. At 3 a.m. by the light of a kerosene lamp, the father conducted a ceremony which was usually reserved for the chief justice of the Supreme Court. Placing his hand on the family Bible, the son solemnly pledged to uphold the Constitution. He signed the same oath George Washington had signed 134 years earlier. The father stamped the paper with his notarys seal and was the first to call his son, Mr. President. President Calvin Coolidge was a calm, cool, well organized man, with a dry sense of humor. As a boy he spent his summers working in saw-milor logging. He was a quiet industrious young man. He graduated from college with high honors. In the next 20 years, Silent Cal served in 19 offices, from town coun-- v cilman to state governor. He served in more elective offices than any other president. The policemen of Boston went on strike in 1919 because the police commissioner refused to let them join the , ls classes to be offered this School summer by the Weber District. Several American Federation of Labor. When rioting followed, the city was threatened with a general strike, Governor Coolidge sent out the militia and put Boston under martial law. He sent a wire to Samuel Gompers, President of the A.F.L.: There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody; anywhere, anytime. If Mr. Coolidge didnt agree with labor organizations, he spoke up and voiced his opinion. He cleaned up the scandals of the Harding administration in his quiet efficient manner. In 1905 he married Grace Anna Goodhue and later fathered two children. A Republican, President Coolidge was cautious and frugal, and reduced the national debt by two billion dollars. He opposed the reduction of Europes war debt: They hired the money., didnt they? When he bowed out from the White House, he was more popular than when he entered it. He died in 1933, at the age of 60 and was buried at Plymouth, Vermont, .the village of his birth. President Calvin Coolidge didnt elect to write a middle C in his last name initial in his name. The capital Coolidge is larger than the capital C in his first name, indicating he upgraded his father. The two capitals are joined to the next small letters and whole nameis exhibiting a conservative writing pattern. Conservative people are not receptive to new ideas. They believe that what has been tried and found true, that is the route they are going to take. The long stem on the small g in the last name Coolidge is showing restlessness and a need to use his legs. He could not sit for long periods of time at a desk.
