Returning from a night meeting recently, I pulled into a place hoping to grab a quick milk shake. The drive-iwindow had eight cars backed up behind it, so I opted for the counter. After all, there were only four people in line there, I thought. Little did I know that 153 others had been given a number and were sitting at tables just for their food. This modern living be. Take fast food n Looking over the situation, I decided I didnt really want that milk shake anyway. Another convenience Ive grown suspicious of is the bank drive-i- n window. Trying to cash a paycheck quickly the other day, I was confronted with a line the length of the Great Wall of China. As we speed freaks waited in the heat and car exhaust for more than 20 minutes, both our tempers and our car engines grew progressively hotter. Some people got wise to the convenience window, though. They walked inside the bank to wait in comfort. At least they werent laboring under the delusion that the service was going to be fast there. Naturally, they got served faster than anyone else. Something about dealing with customers through vacuum tubes and a microphone seems to slow bank tellers down. Im getting to the point where I avoid any service that is labeled fast. After all, maybe God doesn't really want us to get things done quickly. Besides, every time I do things the slow way, I end up way ahead of the game. FEE. - SAT. Letters to the Editor SEPTEMBER Review Editor: I would like on behalf of the Roy Chamber of Commerce to congratulate you on the first edition of the LAKESIDE REVIEW. It was well done, and I predict it will be well received on the Wasatch Front. Please compliment your Managing Editor and all concerned. I also would like to thank you for your accurate coverage of the concerns of the business community in our area. We wish you continued success. A Republican Dream Twas the year nineteen hundred and eighty one, The grand old party returned. The records of all the New Deals, Were promptly gathered and burned. Our budget was balanced, our taxes were cut, And government handouts were spurned. Soon our friends overseas saw us busy as bees, Making cars, childrens toys and t.v.s. We rebuilt our merchant marine, And resumed shipping tons of machines. All over the world no one was surprised, America returned to free enterprise. We dispensed with a lot of our bureaus Done away with some agencies too. The bureaucrat haven had shrunken, Yet we still have plenty to do. So lets all start pulling together, And very soon we will see, The rest of the world will respect us. And call us the Land of the Free. Clark Burnham Farmington, Utah M Sincerely, Glade B.
