A HOT SPELL is a good time to just sit around and deplore things ... unless youve done some deploring lately you probably have no idea how many things you can find to view with alarm. OUR FEARS AND WORRIES may assume different shapes, but stripped of all their masquerades, the fears of men are quite identical: the fear of loneliness, rejection, inferiority, illness and death. Nor are we unique in the spiritual hunger which unites us even more than does physical hunger: the hunger for love, recognition, understanding, security, belongingness and a satisfying communion with our God. V Driving to Salt Lake the other day I noticed this sign on the back of a large van: Children should be seen and not hurt. And a cute one in a millinery store: Wanted: Girls to trim rough sailors. SIGNS OF THE TIMES: ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS is the late Rev. Dr. Peter Marshall, formerly chaplain of the U. S. Senate. While browsing through a book published just before his death, I came across this: We confess, our Father, that we know we need Thee, yet our swelled heads and our stubborn wills keep us trying to do without Thee. Forgive us for making so many mountains out of mole hills and for exaggerating both our own importance and the problems that confront us. Amen. As Life magazine once said: U. S. Senators often had the feeling that they were being prayed AT as well as being prayed FOR, O, God, our Father, let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.

Give us the courage to stand for something, lest we fall for anything. . . Amen. And, a little cute, terse one: Save us from the sins of worrying, lest stomach ulcers be the badge of our faith. Wasnt he wonderful? Mr. Marsh is shown with a normal yardstick in front of a valve, which gives an idea of the huge size of the new line. There are several of these big valves in the main line. AND, the net result, of course, is shown next with Fire Captain Roy Smith testing a hydrant near the fire station that is now fed cast iron line with full directly from an pressure of over 125 pounds.

What made her success all the more remarkable was the fact that she had had no previous business experience. She had been asked to outline the principles upon which she had built her business. When she submitted the article, the publisher exclaimed, This is astounding. Would you mind telling me where you got these articles? She said: I guess you are not very familiar with the Bible. My article is practically a re' write of the 12th chapter of Matthew. I had to go immediately to my Bible to look up this chapter.

The basic lease is for ten years. ACCORDING TO WORD re- ceived here from W. D. Brewer, Regional Operations Director for the Post Office Department, the low bid for the new post office quarters at Magna was submitted by Nelson Bros. Construction Company of Salt Lake City. The Nelson bid was $6,795.00 per year for lease with two five year renewal options at $6,895.00 annually. One of the new innovations in the building is a bank-typ- e counter without the familiar floor to ceiling partitions and clerk cages. A complete system and separate lobbies are also to be featured in the new buildmg. Provision will be made for ample parking space. These, and many other fine new features, will make it possible to better serve the needs of our growing community. THIS NEW post office for Mag' na is part of Postmaster General ar Summerfields Modernization program. Since 1953 private contractors, following postal specifications, have built nearly 3500 new and completely modern postal facilities in all parts of the country. About 1400 new ones are scheduled for completion this year, but nearly 12,000 more existing facilities still need replacing or complete modernization. Meanwhile, under the modernization program, about 2,500 of the nearly 3,300 federal buildings will be completely renovated, enlarged, or if necessary, replaced by new leased facilities. Each program provides patrons with far better lobbies in which to transact their postal business, and postal employees with far better working conditions. have thoroughly enjoyed the association of hundreds of boys and girls for the past 35 years and wish all of them well in the years to come.

THE BIG PUSH to the lakes and streams started Friday. Major highways leading to such spots as Fish Lake, Scofield, Panguitch and other lakes were jammed with fishermens vehicles Friday afternoon. Upon his return from a weekend trip, one local fisherman remarked: It looked like a parade going through," as he told Of traffic headed for Fish Lake. Anglers had their tents pitched in campgrounds all over the state Another local Isaac Walton fan, returning from Soapstone, said campgrounds along Beaver Creek and the upper Provo were jammed with campers. 1960 opening of the Fishing Follies were better than in many years. Retarded runoffs and low snow levels at higher elevations resulted in clear streams whereas in normal years most streams were high and muddy. And from all reports of returning Magnaites, the opening harvest of trout exceeded any catch in recent years. All streams were heavily planted during the past several weeks as the game departments fish trucks rolled steadily. DESPITE THE favorable stream conditions, the largest turnouts were on Utahs major lakes. A large gang gathered at Scofield Reservoir in Carbon County. This lake, treated chemically in 1958, was full of trout. Others went to Strawberry, Hyrum Reservoir. |
