You'd be wrong! It probably wouldnt surprise you that a visitor spent $30,000 in this city, originally a Mormon community which long ago traded its dry gulch for a spinning wheel, a city which spends more on electricity than it does on education. But it would surprise you where the visitor spent the $30,000. Located among the neon lights, the dancing gorillas and the $1.99 buffets is a mall. ..and inside that mall is my favorite Las Vegas entity: The history shop. Most cities have a mall, but few cities have a history shop. Even though Las Vegas is comparais tively short on history, it is long on money. ..and history and it to documents, comes when photographs signed money postcards, all elaborately framed in glass with brass nameplates and written authenticity. Its at the history shop that a customer can buy Joseph Smiths signature on a personal letter.. .or Marilyn Monroes scrawl on her first studio contract... or John Lennons signed agreement to pay a monthly rent on a New York apartment. These whiffs of history dont come cheap; most of the framed according to the memorabilia is priced at $1,500 and manager, $1 ,500 is a steal. Youre making an investment, he says. They dont make land anymore--an- d they dont make these documents anymore either.

You can have it for only $85,000, says the manager. And, noting my hesitation, he added, Of course, we can check your references and accept your personal check. even it lags in stature The Gen. Lee document is a beauty-b- ut compared to the famous Abraham Lincoln letter which, accordchanged the course of history. ing to its brass nameplate, Here in Abe's own handwriting is his reply to the Illinois child who suggested he grow a beard. Here also is the girls original letter, along with a later explanation that the stains on Lincoln's reply were caused by errant snowflakes, not her own teardrops a$ some history buffs have proclaimed. And here is a metallic image of Honest Abe, complete with the beard that the little girl suggested. How much would this display cost, I said. The manager smiled, rubbed his' hand lovingly on the frame and said, Its a priceless document, of course. It would cost considerably more than Robert E. Lees letter. I didn't ask what considerably more actually meant. And neither did I ask the name of the young man, a California kid in his low 30s, who called the manager over to witness his check. The young man was starting on his history collection, he told me. His first three purchases included a signed photograph Mick g of Greta Garbo, a signature of greeting from a album. 1957 record a on a and autograph Holly Buddy Jagger Its not just Hollys signature either, the young man said. Look here. ..all of the Crickets have signed it, too. There cant be too many of these around. How much did these three pieces cost you?" Just $30,000," he said proudly. I've wanted to buy some history for several years now. Ive been coming into this shop since I was a teenager. Only in Vegas can I have as much fun in the casinos and then come over here and invest in something (54), photography in which radiologists can view the heart both at rest and at levels of exercise. Despite medical technology. Dr. Burtenshaw says his profession still doesnt know what "causes cardiovascular disease. "But we do know some of the keys to preventing it." he says. claiming some 700,000 victims each year. In addition, five million Americans suffer from cardiovascular disease, the most common problem being the obstruction of major vessels hampering the flow of blood to the heart muscle itself. Such disease is especially potent since the majority of victims have no symptoms prior to the initial heart attack. (In a presentation to Davis North physicians, Dr. Wayne Wenzel, director of nuclear medicine and diagnostic ultra-soun- d at Denver's Presbyterian Medical Center, noted that heart attack or death is the first up--an- d, one-of-a-ki- of-a- just-rollin- priceless."

Im going back to the Frontier Hotel now," said the man. I feel awfully lucky today. He left. And so did I. ..but not before thanking the manager for his time. One day you'll start your collection, too, he said. I have some autographs here for as low as $350. It's an inexpensive way to start. ..Now if you're from Utah you might be interested in this signed photograph of the Osmond Family. They were on the Andy Williams show then and they..." An interesting thought. Maybe next time. risk" factors include MAJOR gender (males suffer more heart attacks than females), hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, stress and a lack of physical exercise.

Other items, cleverly disguised as entertainment, are not only without value, but are detrimental and degrading rather than have the uplifting and building. Many truly creative geniuses which can with us instead of attract to products repel power harmful effects on both our minds and lives. have However, there are some guidelines, which if followed will keep us from succumbing to the inferior goods and services all about us. (1) What is the purpose of the item or idea? If it is strictly a g vetnure, a second look would be in order. (2) If there is only a little good mixed in with many false premises, also with the idea of selling for profit, look further. (3) Is the it just for fun? product something which will benefit you, or is (4) Put a financial limit on yourself, and then stick to it, limiting your purchases mainly to necessities. With whatever you have left over, be extremely selective as to what you will allow to invade your mind and your life. Great books, superior music, good entertainment of any kind will successfully influence living only to the extent with which we reject the enferior, the low, the demeaning, or even the trite and commonplace. Creators of inferior products and public relations experts would soon be forced out of business if their goods were left unpurchased, their ideas would remain powerless if uncopied, and their influence rendered helpless if rejected as unworthy by the judges - the purchasing public. mass-produce- d high-power- -- Idea-make- rs long-lastin- g, money-makin- -- District agrees upon names for new schools FARMINGTON -- - Even though the Davis School District will be working with an extremely tight budget for the next few years, the administration has decided there are enough funds available to open bids for the construction of two new elementary schools in the north end of the county. The decision was also made to give names to the new schools which will be located in Clinton and in Clearfield near the Syracuse border. SCHOOLS SUPT. Dr. Lawrence Welling recommended going with generic names because they seem to be easier to handle. He asked and received Board approval for the names West Clinton" and Antelope" Elementaries. Twenty-fou- r suggested names for the schools were received by the school district. Many honored people or events. CONSTRUCTION bid openings for the schools will be prior to the May 6th meeting of the Board of Education so that a contract can be awarded at that meeting. It is anticipated that both schools will be operational for the 1987-8- 8 school year. THE STUDY did make some re- commendations which the Air Force adhered to. For instance, the effected area was reduced from 2,478 square miles to 1,360, And potential affected residents of adjoining areas will now total about 50, compared to the 350 which may have been affected under the original Air Force proposal.

She is presently carrying a 3.0 grade point average in high school and will soon receive her cerdiploma. She also is pursuing a tificate in the clerical trade and is progressing well in that vocational training choice. Her leisure time is spent watching football games and car races on television, running, swimming and playing racquetball. The new schools will be patterned after the Layton Elementary and the Woods Cross Elementary Schools. Supt. Welling invited patrons to visit these schools to get a feel for what is being planned for Clinton and Clearfield. ASST. SUPT. White stated an air conditioning line item would be placed in the bids so that it can be added later if the district at some future time establishes a year round school program.
