Show Volume Eighty-on- Euivka, Utah Nl(i28 e John Van Cotl to speak at history meeting Circle this date on your calendar... Feb. 14! The Tintic Historical Society has a fun meeting planned for that Thursday, at 7:00, in the Memorial Building. The speaker for the evening will be John Van Cott, a member of the Utah Places Names Society. Have you ever wondered where or why places received the names they have? The UPNS works at attaining these answers (some of which can really bring a chuckle. ) Mr. Van Cott is working on a book and is anxious to meet people that may shed some light on hidden mystery names. He makes his presentation even more enjoyable with slides he has collected over the ' past 30 years. Plan to attend; you may be very surprised at the information you receive. Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

Here are a few: 1 ) NEVER Pay interest. 2) NEVER buy anything from a salesperson. 3) AVOID: a. Used car salesmen, b. Lawyers, c. People carrying side arms, d. People carrying Bibles. Notice the ABSOLUTES in those tenets: "NEVER - "AVOID". It is not feasable to live in 80's USA and follow those guidelines faithfully. But one can try; and a person will be happier and more successful for the effort; and once in awhile you might have the fun of blowing all those good intentions away. My wife and I have! One day, I came home from work in Sacramento and my wife had that aura about her that I can only describe as delicious guilt. Looked like she had eaten the cuckoo clock. After my second beer, she brought out the "bird" - a Kirby vacuum. "How much?" "Seven hundred dollars. I charged it. (That obscene phrase that makes America tick). Believe it or not, after I came down out of the oak tree I became philosophical. I said, Oh well, you are entitled to one error every few years. Bobbie said. He was such a darling Mexican kid, Papa, and he needed the sale so badly. So, okay, we have the Kirby and honestly, I like it too. In fact, every three months I run it over all three floors of the house. -3 door-to-do- or Openshaw reported that a sample of the band uniforms is on the way.

W'ith the erosion of property tax base by the closing curtailment of such operations as Geneva and Kennecott and the financial bind most farmers are finding themselves in. new revenue sources have to be found. It was suggested that the Career Ladder be funded and that all funding come through the WPU rather than on the basis of ADM. If this method is used all money is equalized. A variety of other business matters were discussed: Superintendent Openshaw reported that since there is a shortage of DPT vaccine, the schools are exempt from the requirement of immunizing children. Since the advent of the evacuation, school officials have become aware of the need to survey and develop an emergency preparedness plan with the parents to make certain that every student has a place to go in disaster situations.

All parents are encouraged to attend in order to assist in a coordination of efforts between home and school for the benefit of children. the claim is also made that if you read the Britannica article on any subject you will know more about that topic than the next 900 people you meet. It's such a private pleasure to read a couple of articles, then travel down to Washington and walk among all those tourists from Iowa, secure in the knowledge that you know more about pockmark and zymurgy than any of them. It doesn't take all day to find 900 people in Washington who know less than you do! bv John V. McCormick When Marco Polo was captured and jailed during a war between Venice and Genoa in 1298. he wrote "The travels of Marco Polo." dictating it to a fellow prisoner.
