Show played every day housewife over the and quickly decided that I am definitely getting too old for that hard of work. My legs ached right up to my chin and the mental strain really wore me out. Bottling peaches and doing pickles is quite a feat for someone as out of practice as I am but adding five little girls really put me through the paces. The little ones wanted to help but arent quite big enough and the big ones are very capable of help but didnt want to. So I put the little ones down for naps and put the big ones to peeling peaches. They worked away pretty good but soon the kitchen was knee deep in peach juice and I wondered at the wisdom of my plan. If one kept moving it went well but standing in one spot too long resulted in slicking solid. When my tolerance of the peeling project reached the limit I sent them all out to clean off in the hose. And of course the temptation was too great and soon a little spraying each other started and the fight was on. I know Jeans policy for that, is if they cant get along, projects are assigned to work off the excess energy. So I started barking orders. It took quite a few to get them settled down and somewhere in there I let the jam boil over on the stove. I had things fairly well under control by the time Jean got home and the first thing she I weekend said was, There kitchen floor." is something sticky on the No Kidding. So I told her about my day. I didnt miss one detail. She was really sorry she had been driving hay truck all day and missed all the fun. Then I took the older girls to the pool and I went to the comfort of my little office for a little R. & R. And thank goodness for Taco Time. Sunday brought the problem of what to do with all my canning efforts. It is difficult enough to sit 9 people to the table with my typewriter and various other necessities without adding several bottles of fruit. So cupboards had to be rearranged and then of course there was the problem of the kitchen floor. Down the middle just wouldnt cut it especially since how the fridge hadnt been pulled out since the gallon of lemonade had dissappeared under it. And somewhere in there, Jean decided to bake bread. We both managed to delay starting the bread and floor projects and the next thing we knew it was a.m. and we finally got set down to eating hot bread and admiring a clean floor. Just never seems to be enough hours in the week for me. 1 Fire Safety Week Matheson from his bal- tute of Child Abuse to educate foundation cony and a breakfast at abusive and proc parents the Travelodge tect children from maimwelcome-reservati(public ing and death.

The different several ways to investigate and thethe for new only way facility pav that a bonding company will bond for 20 years is through a mill levy on property tax. So that leaves us with the decision of whether we want the facility more than we want our taxes raised ever so slightly. Property taxes will go up this year if the bond election passes. That is a certainty. But as Millard County grows, the property tax levy has chances of going down. For example, a lime plant that is within the boundaries of the EMRD. valued at around three million dollars, will be operating soon which would take considerable burden off the rest of the taxpayers. Considering the three above mentioned facts, where does all this leave us? It leaves us with a decision to make! The decision to be made is whether it is time for the East Millard area to be a progressive place where people work together as a unit to accomplish their goals, or if the East Millard area is going to roll over and play dead w hile the rest of the world goes flying by. A yes vote on November 6th will be a gigantic step forward for the future. will Since the planning of the new indoor swimming pool started Iasi winter. I personally have talked with many people about how Delta went about getting their swimming pool. After visiting with all these people, certain things have come to my attention that most people in the East Millard area believe. . Delta seems to get everything done first on that side of the county. This belief tends to have a lot of merit, because it is usually true. Why? (This can only be a personal observation.) Because they can see the need for something and so they get together and work together to get something 1 accomplished. side of the county can about everything from the sprinkling system to the new high school. Which leaves us sitting in the middle of the street getting hardly anything accomplished on any of them. 2.

MISSOURI - A visit to is to experience an inner peace and tranquility that is almost unknown in the world today. and Located between Jameson Gallatin, Missouri, this gently rolling lush green valley of shaded glens is a significant site in Mormon history. The trails through the valley, made by the pioneer inhabitants, are still easily discerned as each leads to the ruins of a once log cabin. Only the stone lined foundations remain as a stark reminder of a happier day in the lives of the pioneers. An almost forgotten cow- shed is the only building still w ithstanding the ravages of time. Tower Hill stands as a beacon in the wooded valley. A monument erected there by the Mormon Church explains the history of and its religious significance. The monument reads: "On May 19. 1838, a surveying party led by Joseph Smith, prophet and first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, arrived here to found a new city. One follower of the Prophet. Lyman Wight, had already built a home on the side of this hill ovei looking the Grand River. A half mile up the river Wight operated a ferry, and inland from that place the Prophet began laying out a city. He in tribute called it to Adam, the patriarch of the human ,'aie. " The Mormon settlement established two years earlier at Far West, 35 miles to the southwest, had already doubled m size lrom its original plat, one mile squate. The Prophet now desired to lound other settlements alter this pattern. His party spent ten days near and returned again later to stake out land on both sides of the river and eastward beyond Daviess County's boundaries. "Settlement here proceeded rapidly. Within weeks the city exhibited dozens of log cabins, with two or three new ones build almost daily. Late in July a Saints company of Canadian Latter-daarrived, and in early October more than 50(1 members of an emigrant camp from Kirtland. Ohio, settled here. The city was similar in design to others established by pioneering Mormons.

The fervor for city building exhibited here enabled the Mormon pioneers to settle 350 towns in the intermountain West, including their new headquarters at Salt I ake Ciiv, Utah."

In May and June 1838. Joseph Smith visited with Lyman Wight, whose home stood about half way down the west slope of this hill. During his stay the Prophet named this prominence Tower Hill. He said that an alter, or tower had once been erected here by the Nepltites, an ancient people in the Americas whose story is told in the Book of Mormon. "In a further revelation concerning the area's history, the Prophet told his associates that on the bluffs to the north Adam had built alters following his expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
