The Just things By Jim Landers We had a pleasant phone call from Portland, Ore., this week from a woman who wanted to thank a Riverton couple for doing something nice for her and her husband. Mrs Richard Staeger, Portland, became stranded on last Sunday when their car broke down on the way to the airport to catch a plane. But the couple from River-tostopped and picked them up and drove them to the airport in time to catch their plane. Mrs Staeger didn't get the name of the couple but she said that they are the parents of eight children, seven boys, and would like to thank them. So it seems that there are still some nice people in the world who would go out of their way to help other people and still others who haven't forgotten to say thank you. The two old pictures that we have on the front page this week were culled from old files at the city hall where some of the girls there have been doing some cleaning. The interesting thing is that most of the sidewalk construction has held up pretty well along North Main St. but there are some areas that are badly in need of repair. The Hillcrest basketball team once again did pretty well in the state 4 A tourna ment, finishing sixth in the state, which is an improvement of two places over last year. And the players and coaches at Hillcrest deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done in the tournament. Another group of high school kids who fail to get much recognition but do an excellent job for their schools at ball games and other func tions is pep band kids who put in many hours of practice and are working throughout most of the ball (tames. These kd are taken for granted mmt of the time, but even with all of the none at a high school game, if the pep band wasn't there they would be missed by everyone. n mm J 11 n Sandy police arrest pair at Mt.

Because this development would have horses, with stables and an arena in the center, an A-- l zone with a variance was requested. A public hearing will be held April 3.
