I suppose all the toys and wrapping is picked up and put away so the kids can play with all the boxes. I remember they made the best forts, Well, ' only week, day?

Youll notice my priorities when I list prosperity before happiness. But to a lot of people they are synonymous. Not to me though. Im much happier now, doing what Im doing, than I was in the Marine Corps where I was paid twice as' much as Im getting now including the G.I. Education Allowance. And thats not figuring in the P.X. and Commisary privileges we had. Why is it that people only wait until New Years to make resolutions? Maybe its so they wont have to wait too long into the year to break those that they made. Its like tobacco addicts who say they're going to quit next week, on their birthday, Christmas, or as soon as theyre done with the pack of cigarettes or can of snuff. It very seldom happens that they follow through with their premise. Just like New Year resolutions. How many of you followed through the entire year with your resolutions? Do I hear a month, reporter mine than to ask a question and get a no comment as an answer; an answer that rings in the ears for days. I can see their point. They want to see a fair and impartial Jury sitting in front of them. Heaven knows I want that too, especially if Im sitting next to the lawyer. But I believe that the people selected for jury duty have the intelligence and integrity to put aside prejudices and preconceived ideas in order to sit with an open mind on the jury stand. And in order to select people who have not heard anything about the case theyre about to hear or have not formed opinions about it, they'll have to be selected from among all the people who have been living on top of ML Logan for the last 30 years. I attempted to get a background of the case the local farmers and ranchers are bringing against Utah Power and Light Co. for the flooding of 3800 acres of farm land from Gordon Low who is representing the farmers.

In subsequent calls, I was informed, once again by his secretary, that he had no comment as he was leery of all the publicity his clients had been getting which might be detrimental to their case. Ive heard of no comments before by people representing others but never from one who is representing someone who is representing others. I wanted to explain that I was objective in my reporting and that nothing would be printed that might be harmful to either side, but I wasnt given the chance. Legal matters is not one of my strong suits I guess. AND PRIDE The Sky View Bobcats basketball team, girls ver- sion, has been in full swing for awhile In preparation of their opener Jan. 6. They are to be commended for the job theyre doing and have done in the past. They work two and one half hours a day, not to mention weightlifting and jogging they do on their own. They are not rewarded with a varsity letter as the boys are or with the public recognition and publicity that the boys get Their only reward is the satisfaction they get in learning to work as a team with the other girls and giving their best shot in a very competitive team effort The games are as exciting as the boys games, if not more so, and the price is right. There is no admission for these games so there is no reason why the girls shouldnt be playing to full houses. I hope to see you at their games. Have a Happy New Year.
