drops his change on the floor As you bend down to help him pick it up his partner walks away with your luggage You’re getting ready to take a photograph of your spouse in front of the Washington monument A very friendly couple approaches and offers to take the picture for you As your attention is diverted by the gentleman taking the photograph his friend is stealing your or handwallet out of a bag These typical scenes represent just two examples of the ways in which sophisticated pickpockets and thieves are operating any place where people travel Some thieves are so skilled and organized that they execute their con with the same precision that a football quarterback runs his plays It is now old hat for criminals to pick pockets by bumping into people instead they will use a method like one of those illustrated above and will often work in teams Another modem twist is that the thieves are often indistinguishable from other vacationers Gone are the days when you might reasonably expect to recognize a thief on the prowl Despite these slick methods of Gratitude for the good times we live struck fear The word “pneumonia" into the hearts of families when one of their members was diagnosed with the dread disease Until the 1940’s when the first “miracle drugs” became available the best known cure for pneumonia was mustard plasters and turpentine stoops every four hours around the clock There was a “crisis” about the ninth If the desperateday with pneumonia ly ill had survived the treatment and made it through the crisis he would live Some lived many died Edward L Lyman had Grandpa in Oak in April 1906 pneumonia City He had stood in a cold rain to help bury Brother Lofgren and was chilled He walked back to his home His wife Mary met him at the door am a sick man” He said "Mary A fast buggy was sent to Fillmore for a doctor He came and did all he could with the knowledge of that early time He prescribed ice packs to be kept on Grandpa’s chest The sons hurried to Oak Creek canyon to find a bank of snow that had not yet melted Millie a daughter and a RN came to do all she could Day and night she stayed with him giving loving care and following the doctor’s orders He continued to get worse harder and harder to get breath One day when the breathing was difficult Grandpa said “Maybe if you would cut off my moustache I could breathe" They cut his moustache and still be suffered for breath He said “The lilacs are smothering me” So the lilacs that were in full bloom on the big bushes by the front gate were cut and floated down the ditch One hard night he said to his wife and daughter “If you are going to keep me alive tonight you have work to do” They could not keep him alive He died before morning Grandpa that life loving busy needed man was dead at the age of forty nine leaving a wife and seven children grieving for their loss friend Ole made a Grandpa’s casket but it was too wide to go through the door of the home Grandpa had built Friends came to express sympathy and to see their friend Eddie for the last time in the shade of the locust trees After the funeral the casket was put on a wagon and the family and friends walked behind it to the same cemetery where Grandpa had helped bury a friend nine days before We live in the “best of times” The is still frightening word “pneumonia” but not the threat and death sentence that it was in 1906 but still to be respected Gratitude for these good times Mary Henrie separating you from your valuables a traveler need not feel at the mercy of thieves By following the police’s advice to “Be Alert Be Aware Be Suspicious" you can discourage even the most cunning thief This applies to travel of every variety — from making connections at the airport to camping with an to staying RV in the “wilderness” at a posh hotel in New York City Aside from always being aware of your environment and where are another way your belongings to help protect yourself is by not carrying a lot of cash A security spokesman recommends that the safest alternative is to carry Travelers Cheques like American Express andor charge cards so your vulnerability to cash theft is greatly diminished Now erjoy

2 st floor Salt Lake City Utah 84111 These letters form the basis for the "Dear John Letters" Dear John Dear John I have two good friends that are as different as night and day One has a lot of confidence In himself having always been successful in school sports work etc The other Is becoming withdrawn and Is starting to drink heavily While he has never been especially good at anything he now seems hound to fall at everything what with his drinking and bad attitude I really care about both of these guys and it bothers me to see what one Is doing to himself What causes this and Is there anything I can do? Signed Wanting To Help Dear Wanting: Under normal conditions even good friends differ from each other But when alcohol abuse becomes a factor that difference becomes enormous becomes affected and Perception thoughts feelings and attitudes change becomes distorted The Reality alcoholic’s and goes down the tubes and everyone loses confidence in him Feelings of anger frustration concern and helplessness are experienced by everyone Some try to ignore the problem Some deny it ists Others strike out or leave However none of these works very well The first important thing to do would be for you to go to A lot of people respond to this by saying “But I don’t have the problem it’s his!” The problem belongs to everyone associated with the alcoholic Everyone becomes affected And the more they learn about their dynamics the more effective they become in coping with them There’s one point to keep in mind: When the family of the alcoholic gets the help the alcoholic gets better Not always but often The next important step would be for you to contact the local treatment center and gather information about a treatment process If you are prepared when the next crisis occurs the odds are you will be successful in helping him get the help he needs So don’t give up CONFIDENTIALLY: The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because the average boy can see better than he can think Silver bowls made to hold fruit or flowers need careful tending Acid from decaying flowers or fruit can etch ugly little pit marks into silver that will be there forever Meetings: Mon & Wed 8 pm at Delta City Bldg Chamber of Commerce office 76 N 200 W Delta Tuesdays: 8 pm at IPP Housing Community Center Millard Courtly Chronicle Progress The ALAN0N: S Susan Call Editor PROBLEMS?

The Millard County Chronicle Progress office will be open Fridays and MonEvelyn Mallet is the day from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm for your convenience office manager and will be at the office during those times Should anyone want to contact the Delta office direct on others days the phone numbers are or send pictures articles or advertisements directly to and Box 249 Delta Utah 84624 i To be sure we all fail at that from time to time Sometimes our personal abjectivity gets in t’'e way of objectivity We too have our bad days Newspaper people since the earliest beginnings of the trade have had to fight for their credibility I’m not certain why that is but modern-dapolls place us somewhere between lawyers r and salesmen when it comes to believeability because it’s Maybe basic truths frighten a lot of people Even after two million years of existence man is unwilling to graciously accepted the face that he is a mere mortal There are a few men who stand above that criticism Tom Wicker and James Reston of the New York Times in the print medium are the only two who come to mind immediately Of course we all accepted as gospel anything uttered by Walter Cronkite but then it’s tough to disagree with a man who looks like everyone’s favorite uncle It has always been my belief that a newspaper has but two basic roles to fulfill in justifying its existence It must inform and it must entertain That last is especially true with the coming of television How much easier to listen to Rather Jennings or Brokaw (in living color yet!) and believe you’ve heard all the news worth hearing for the day The truth is any metropolitan newspaper in this country prints more words in a day than all of those lustrious anchormen spiel in a month Another truth is that you get only 22 minutes of news in a telecast A full seven — count ’em seven — minutes are given to advertising and local stations get 30 seconds at the start and finish of the program “Yeh” you say “but it’s free” I'll just let you think about that for a while Community newsrwners such as the Chronicle Progress may not totally constitute the backbone of the country but they are without doubt one of the vertebrae Be honest now what would be your initial emotion if you failed to find a paper in your mail box next Thursday morning? It would be my guess that “Sue Dutson and those people of hers down there” would come in for your personal interpretation of the wrath of God And do you know what? In all probability we’d deserve it You see it’s like this: it’s not that we ve promised you a paper next Thursday but rather that we have a duty to deliver on that promise It is as Robert W Service wrote: A promise made is but a debt unpaid” Believe me when I say we’re not looking for applause here No one deserves a laudatory reward for merely doing his job as best he can But on the other hand we graciously accept the psychic income of an occasional kind word VVe d like you to drop in on us Uninvited that’s okay We’d like you to see our operation and then go away wondering as we do how a newspaper can arise each week — not unlike the phoenix bird — from the fire that is our seeming confusion 3 ho knows?
