Smith Brigadier Editor Once ayain winter comes, brinyiny freezing temperatures and blankets of snow to Utah Valley. With this comes added pleasures and plagues from the frozen ponds to the sniffles and cough, from the frozen radiator to the ski slopes, and from the slick roads to the ice 'skating ponds. HOLIDAY RUSH!? The holiday rush, coupled with the slick roads and the inexperienced driver, also marks winter as one of the most dangerous seasons in which to drive. Take, for instance, the last snowstorm which hit the area and the travels of our friend, Seymour Nurd. Seymour putts down the road happy, nonchalant, ready for the world. Roads are slick, the snow swirls around his bald tiies, and frost covers his windshield. MAKES LEFT TURN takes the left turn just like any other. (AcSeymour celerate and hold your ground!) But suddenly he realizes that he is on the only car on the road going sideways. It is usually about now that the fateful words of good old Drivers Education return: When in a skid, turn in the direction of the skid to straighten the vehicle. What do you mean, turn in the direction of the skid? cries Seymour as he tuns the wheel the other way. (You have to change direction if youre skidding.) Change direction he did and Seymour is now the only driver going backwards. A stop sign looms ahead. No need to pump the brake; since hes going backward, all Seymour has to do is press the gas to make the wheels go the other way. Fine. Now Seymour is the only driver going backwards down the sidewalk. TREE PLANTED No one knows who planted that tree in Seymours way. But it matter little now as the tree, Seymour, and his car are all a matter of history. Moral: Never drive backwards down a sidewalk if there is a Johnny Appleseed in the crowd.

By Brent Ashworth Many things in this world seem pecu- Often, just the simple writing and mailing of a letter will have some effect upon the history of a nation or the world. A classic example of this was seen only a few months ago when- Jarvis P. Garrett of Albuquerque, N. Alex., received a letter telling the whereabouts of that infamous outlaw, Billy the Kid. The letter was mailed 85 years ago to Garretts father, Pat, the famous sheriff of Lincoln County (New Alexico Territory) who gunned down the outlaw on Jttlv 4 1881. The Post Office offered no explanation of why the letter was 85 years late. Perhaps if it had arrived on time, Garrett would have found Billy the Kid three weeks earlier! That gets one to thinking about the possible existence of other undelivered messages that might have changed history had they arrived on time. Like, perhaps: Dear Gen. Custer. We are pleased to announce that tl latest volume in our series, Know Your I During the intervening century the town of Appomattox itself had moved a few miles away, but the original village had been authentically rebuilt. And for the ceremonies, hundreds of in Yankee and Confederate soldiers battle-worregalia marched beneath their proud banners. It was a colorful, moving, and (in a way) sad event.
