I found an old brass button From grandfather's uniform Left hanging in the attic No more could it be worn. From my mother's wedding dress Was one of lustrous pearl I I wore it on a pinafore When I was just a little girl. Among them was this dainty one Of exquisite Sapphire blue. A perfect match to those you have So I am giving it to you. Now I lost so much time dreaming O'er the old tin button box. Would you please just loan a ! needle To mend my hubby's sox ? Mrs. Theo Pierson WE ENTER A Today marks the passing of one hundred years since the first Mormon pioneers entered Salt Lake Valley, seeking a new home in the West. It has been a cetnury of progress, wherein the barren desert has been transformed into a fruitful, prosperous pros-perous and beautiful country. The remarkable change wrought by our pioneer forefathers and our parents before us. was not made by dreams and plans alone, but by sweat, and blood, and tears of every man, woman and child who came to settle this territory. But their vision, coupled coup-led with their everlasting determination and energetic work has made the last hundred years a century that will stand out through history. What will our descendants of one hundred years hence look back upon in our accomplishment? The answer to this is in our hands. Let us begin a new century in Utah in the same spirit those sturdy pioneers of 1847 began the first one hundred years ago-with ago-with faith in the building of the intermountain empire, with pure-ness pure-ness of thought and heart, with willingness to face each problem for the good of all with an attitude of unselfish helpfulness toward our fellow men; that they, too. may live to see as great a development devel-opment in our state as our pioneer forefathers did. Let us go about our work of continuing to develop our re-sources re-sources and our community efforts that our lives may be rich, full of Joy of accomplishment through cooperation and brotherly love.

Mayor Urges Sewer Subscription Drive Support of Citizens Electric Line Improvements Are Slated Duane Woffinden, city electrician electric-ian has been asked by the city council to prepare a map of the present electrical distribution sys tem, so a study may be made by Dr. Thomas Adams, Lehi City consulting con-sulting engineer, for improving the system. Upon Dr. Adams' recommendation recom-mendation improvements and changes will be made in the system sys-tem to lower maintenance cost and line loss, Mr. Woffinden stated. Since the municipally owned plant was closed last September, power consumption has grown from a previous peak load of 410 kilowatts to the present 500, he said, representing a 12 to 15 per cent growth. Part of this has been due to home and commercial improvements im-provements and additional use of electric appliances, and part of it has resulted from new home con struction. There have been approximately approx-imately fifteen new homes conn ected to electric power in the last six months, he added. tj capital WeisJ Patients at the Lehi hospital this week are as follows: ; LeGrande Dunkley returned home July 15 after undergoing an operation.

LEHI CITY TENNIS TOURNAMENT ENTRY Name Division Entering Singles Doubles Partner Mayor Dean Prior stated today that with the launching of the canvas to subscribe the initial payments pay-ments on the proposed sewer, installation in-stallation for Lehi, that one of the greatest steps toward a wealthier, greater and better Lehi is taken. The need and value of , the system to Lehi is too evident on all streets and private correction of known sanitary problems have been too numerous to longer Ignore. The finance committee of the Lehi Council have worked out an intelligent, in-telligent, workable and applicable, plan to finance your share of the proposed sewer. There is not one reason under this plan that any home, business or establishment in the area to be sewered can not meet the minimum payments. The vote of bonds last December showed the public recognition and willingness to help solve this long recognized problem; a problem rec ognized way back before 1933, when an ordinance was passed stating sta-ting that all other means of dis-' posal would have to be abandoned when a sewer came within 100 feet of ones residence or business. All drains and such as the one extend ing down Center Street which is now a near-the-surface sewer, will be condemned and removed. The agents in the field seeking our subscription are asking you to invest in the future of Lehi. As Mayor of your city I cannot too strongly urge your participation in the program of civic improve ment. No community regardless of its size can continue to demand its place in the respectability, of heal- , thy environments for its children who neglects to handle its wastes scientifically and modernally When called upon, Subscribe. The more money raised by this means, the less bonds and interest pay-mnts pay-mnts will have to be Issued and met. The challenge is now before you. How are "You", father and mother of Lehi's present and future generations gen-erations going to meet it? I plead with you to carry the ball now, today. Make the slogan "Get into High Gear-Get a Sewer this year,- a Reality, not a Dream." DEAN PRIOR, Mayor Keneth Simpkins and Chris Gearheart arrived Sunday from Great Falls, Montana to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Leon Asay. Mrs. Gearheart, who has been here for several weeks with her sister, Mrs. Asay, who has been ill, will return with them. Mr. Simpkins is a brother of Mrs. Asay.
