Makes ya feel Wow, Great to Live Here a kinda old. Editor: Since we are beginning a new year, I would like to make some observations concerning the area in which we live. For the benefit of those who may not know, I have been the victim of a serious and prolonged illness. I have spent many weeks in three difthe LDS and University ferent hospitals hospitals in Salt Lake City, and the Cooley hospital here in Brigham City. I have been treated with the utmost skill and consideration, but nowhere have I been treated with greater understanding and compassion than by our local doctors and hospital personnel. In this day when many doctors are reluctant to make house calls, Dr. Thomas L. Hannum and Dr. Otto F. Smith put my interests before their personal consideration. They went out of their way many times in my behalf, seeing to it personally that I received the specialized treatment which was necessary for my recovery. Although the Cooley hospital is not a large institution, the capable hands of Ray Vandersteen and his staff put it in the same category as the finest medical facilities in the nation. Everyone knows the magnitude of the expense such an illness incures; I am particularly thankful to my employers, the board of education, for the fine insurance program and for our cumulative sick leave policy, both of which have made my financial burden much lighter. The personal concern of Supt. J.C. Haws and Principal Carroll Nichols, for my welfare, was a great source of comfort to me and my family, as was the generosity and concern of my colleagues, friends and neighbors. At a time such as this, one really learns to A k: appreciate the value of friends. Its great to live ' in Brigham City. - J V :X Sincerely, iw v. l;-1,- mi V fX X if: & X X X j X & f.

M J V C v 0 ; : ' ; ; Deplores Treatment Editor: After listening to the mayor on television enticing people to live in Brigham by pointing out all the advantages. Im wondering how pleased they would be with the treatment my family received from one of the local merchants during the holidays. My husband purchased some shoes for me from a local shoe store and had them gift wrapped. When I opened them Christmas morning they had given him the wrong size. I returned them explaining he had asked for a double A and received a B, only to find they had nothing in the store that would fit. I then asked for my money back, whereby they informed me that for them to give a different size than my husband had asked for would be g sizes on him and they didnt do that in their store and furthermore they didnt refund money at Christmas time and there were probably no stores in Brigham City that would. He then ask for my name and phone number so he could call my husband to find out who waited on him. My husband told him he had. Then he said, Mr. Korth, I am going to refund you money, but I dont want you or any of your family ever in my store again. He threw my money on the counter and said the same thing to me. I told him his courtesy overwhelmed me and walked out of the store. He wont have to worry about me or any of my family coming in his store again because there are too many merchants in Brigham City who do care whether we come in their store again. I had two more exchanges to make after I left one being at Blocks. The first thing they asked, after not being able to find the size I needed was, Would you like your money refunded?

First of all, the people of our city have not decided by another bond election as to whether or not we need a new big City hall. Second, do the people of Brigham City know what our outstanding debt is at the present time which amounts to a considerable sum? Third, If our city office is crouded for space, which at the present it does not look that way, by all means have facilities to take care of our needs.

It wasn't a very impressive year as far as real big things happening, except for the fact that this writer was born. Anyway, that's what happened a quarter of a century ago. A whole quarter of a century ago, whew, that's a long time.

When places of the the beauties Williamsburg are restoring past, we seem to be doing the opposite. I moved from Brigham City 41 years ago, but I still visit you several times a year. Every time I look at the city hall, and I never fail to look, I think of the old fire station that opened on to Main street. I think of the many times as a boy that I watched Charlie Brown and others of the old volunteer fire department run toward the city hall when the siren sounded. Why instead of tearing down the old city hall, dont we restore it, so that from the outside it would look like it did originally. What would Europe be like if they tore down all their old and beautiful structures. Nelsons funeral carriage in London is known as the ugliest thing in all England, but do the British destroy it. They certainly dont. In Salt Lake City, we have a new civic center, but we didnt destroy our old city and county building, and even though it doesnt tie in with the other structures in the complex, there would be ned to pay if we suggested tearing it down. Most of our modern architecture today has no personality of its own like our old structures have. The Brigham City Hall has a look of its own. If you destroy it, I for one will miss it. - Sincere ly yours, Louis M. Madsen, 2079 Sahara drive, Salt Lake City Respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. R.N. Price, 540 South Main street Obituaries Kevin J.

Brigham City has already destroyed many of its old historical homes, landmarks. Is this to continue? Will future generations of beholders say this is the desecrated land of Mormonism, where everything of historic value has been destroyed?

Editor: A Christensen, many people take advantage of it. We certainly hope this building will be retained and used. We agree with Frederick Huchels views and have reasons in addition to those he expressed, for feeling it would be a mistake, at this time, for any of the reasons given favoring such action to destroy this building. It is easier to tear down then to build. So often, and even in our town, we have let landmarks be destroyed which have later been regretted.
