Flower On Clyde's Grave neednt listen if youve anything else to do, but today wed like to lay a flower on the grave of a fellow back home who died last week, a man by the name of Clyde Coffman. Probably youve never You heard of him before. He was 63 years old, just about in his Fifteen years ago and a lot of us can prime, when he suffered a head injury in a remember 15 years ago as if it were yes- fall on the street.

Clyde knewnear metal hats, old hats, y about everyone in the state, and hked and the only sign of life about him was one stockinged toe that was wiggling slowly up and down. Another thing I remember was that Clyde, up to the last 1 ever heard, could still outrun any one or all of his boys, over any distance up to a half-milSeveral of them were in high school before they could run forward as fast as he could run backward. All of Clydes boys were pretty good athletes, winning their letters in high school in one sport or another. Oddly enough, although Clyde served several terms in the legislature the house of representatives, first, and then the senate I never heard anyone around home complain about the way he acted, or how he voted on any measure. Most of his boys got on, at one time or another, as pages, and came home and impressed us country boys at Sunday school with their red or green bow ties. After the legislature, Clyde began work as a lobbyist. He is the first one I everybody he knew. And in a way he was very persuasive, Id imagine.

Knudson in Brigham City, was Mrs. Anton Lang, wife of the man who played Christ in the Passion play of Oberammer-gau- , Germany, in 1900, 1910 and 1922. She is in Salt Lake City visiting with her son, Friedl Lang, ski. coach at the University of Utah, and his wife and Crystal Springs plays were produced during Lent in churches, church yards or market places, everywhere. Because of the deep distress caused in Oberammergau by the black plague, after the Thirty Years war, a vow was made by the church elders of the little village that each ten years, during Holy Week, the village of would depict the passion Christ. A theater was commenced and the first performance of the play took place In 1634.

About This Community Center .The Eagles have stirred up the idea of a community center for Brigham City again, and its a fine thing that they have. Its going to take some time, and some planning, and some fund raising, to get a community center for Brigham City. Its going to take some planning and figuring on the part of the city council Perhaps it will take bond issue. But first of all and mast of all, its going to take a firm determination on the part of a great majority of the citizens of the community that we need such a center, and need it now. The town was warm on the idea of a community center four or five years ago. The city council thought they had a pretty good idea of where the financing could come from. Then the question of where the center was to be built got kicked around a little, and nobody seemed to agree, and the matter was tabled. of three ways in We can think, which a community center might be built civic body or city For one, a council might tackle the job, use their best effort judgment and a lot of and go right ahead and build it, letting those who wanted to cooperate do so and those who didnt or who had ideas for improving or changing the project beef all they wanted to. Our guess would be that any city council that tackled it this way would be committing political suicide, if there is such a thing on the city administration level as political suicide. Another way would be for someone to get busy and sell the idea. It looks like the Eagles might be' taking this approach. Everybody living within ten miles of Brigham City, or even 20, would be accepted as an authority on just what the community needs and wants and ought to have in the way of a community center, and where it should be located. This approach would require a lot of patience, a lot of determinabecause just tion, a lot of about the time they would get to thinking they had a point settled someone would come along and reopen the discussion. For example, they might think they had it settled to everyones satisfaction that the basket- off-han- d, bull-head- high-power- r it follow-throug- . ) , rJr : h, ed He was gifted. Yes, I think the Lord blessed him with some of the greatest of all gifts:. A crows feet wrinkle around the eyes, eyes that brightly looked for the fun in living, the humor in little irritations that might aggravate others less gifted; a quick smile that meant what it showed, with a laugh close behind if there was the least encouragement; a fondness for people, great and small, lovable and unlovely. Clyde never worried much about other people's faults. He let other people do the worrying and scolding. He saw the amusing side of things. He started out in the good manner of the generation now passing, with a farm of his own. He worked for his father as a boy, to help him get the land, then when he married and settled down he bought the place from his father. It was a' good farm. Clyde prospered, although like all farmers through the 'twenties he had his ups and downs. He had six sons, each about two years younger than his next older brother. Their, mother always had a sort of harried look, when the boys were young. The boys werent reared very strictly, and all of them went though a sort of wild stage, although they were good workers. I noticed in the obituary that one of them is a judge, and another a doctor, and one of them has been county attorney back home and now is one of the leading lawyers. One of them, I know, has been about the most successful young farmer in those parts. He struck it lucky during the war years, but he also knew how to manage, and wasnt afraid to work 15 or 20 hours a day. I havent heard of any of the others not turning out all right, so surely they have. You hear about such things, back home. Its funny, the things you remember about a man. I remember one Sunday afternoon another boy and I had hiked the two and a half miles out to the Coffman home to play with the boys. Clyde was asleep in a rocking chair, with a newspaper over his face, on the wide porch that ran across the front of the white board farm home. Several of us were playing about ten feet away, hunched over near the edge of the porch. One of the Coffman boys (I think it was Charles) called another one a bed and certainly inaccurate name that begins with a b, surely not as bad a name as one used publicly by our president recently, but a bad name nevertheless. Suddenly there was a sort of a rush of wind and Charles went sailing off the porch and lit out in the yard in a heap. When we recovered from our surprise and looked around, Clyde was sitting there in his chair, his newspaper over his face, his shoes at the side of his chair, For All Jobs On Some Farms And Some Jobs On All Farms na AND The Allis Chalmers SI R VIC! MODEL G . ball court should seat 2,000 spectators, and be proceeding to tailor in the auditorium and dining hall and kitchen to fit that plan, when someone would decide the basketball court should seat 3,000, and should never be used for a dining hall or dances. The third way a community center might be built would just be to wait for the next depression, then put a lot of political pressure on the Public Works Administration, or its and get it federal funds. built with The center would be designed and built to a plan drawn by some federal expert who had spent the better part of a day in Brigham City and knew just what the community wanted and needed. And anyway, if it cost twice too much and was only why should we complain because wed only be paying half the co?t anyway! The rest would be from the government. Our opinion is that the second way, the boil it up and thrash it out thoroughly ourselves method, is the best way to get the best community center. It will be a heartbreaking job in the initial stages, and right on up to the time that no one has a single improvement or change left to suggest. It will take a lot of citizens who have the patience to listen to everyone, consider their suggestions and weigh them, the wisdom to decide and the determination to stick with the thing until its completed. Is this the job the Eagles have bitten off? We hope so. And we wish them luck!
