Its fast growth as a community has taken place mostly during the last ten years, although it has a history oi over a hundred years. I've watched this district grow, remarked Clyde Buxton, senior member of the High Council in the new Butler stake In 1952 formed in November when I was Bishop ot Butler Ward, there were 435 LDS people in the entire area. Now there arc approximately 5500. Mr Buxton attributes the increases to the development of on what was formand the resulerly farm-lantant of influx of young families. Clyde Buxton As the post war youth marries and establishes the homes, Butler area will continue to ex- - sequently Bishop of Second and Fourth as each was formed in response to the increased needs of the spreading community. In all he served siif years in three of Butler's seven wards until his release four and a half years ago to serve on the High Council of East Jordan Stake. Again he participated in the growth of the area as it became necessary to divide East Jor-ca- n Stake in two to create Butler Stake.

W. (Buck) Brady. Good weather in November and December has aided workers in completing the building at such a fast rate. The county anticipates completion by May. The structure is designed to house 25 boys and 15 girls. An allied building will house the Second District Juvenile Courts quarters. The court structure will replace crowded quarters now being UEed on the y fiith floor of the building. The new juvenile home is costing the county $1,100,000. A rollover Injured in a one-clast Wednesday afternoon was Afton Watson, 46, 1258 Highland Lake Dr. She suffered a fractured neck. Mrs Watson was driving north on the New Airport Road about 4:30 p.m. when her car ran off onto the shoulder. The driver and soul occupant of the car apparently had just about manipulated the car back onto the road, hut after traveling 232 feet went out of control. The automobile rolled over an embankment about one half mile north of North Temple on the airport road. Mrs Watson was thrown 30 feet through the air as a result of the accident. She was listed in fair condition at Holy Cross hospital. ar By Jay Overheard in Ilolladay: and business Combining pleasure is easy . . . its combining business and profit thats hard. Lets hope we have had our fog for the season. Early in the month the haze began to settle in the valley, then a wind blew it out, and the haze started right over again, reaching a genuine pea soup consistency for a couple of days before dispersing in favor of an allday drizzle Tuesday. The post office becomes a reasonable facsimile of a madhouse during the Christmas season, but the workers at the counter, at least, must get a few good laughs, and occasionally the customers get a snick- er, too. Other day a woman asked for 75 threes and 10 fours. That'll be $2.65. That much? So the clerk figured it for her, she paid the money, and on the way out turned to her companion and remarked; my, theyre high here. Yes, lady, and next year those threes will turn to fours, and the fours to fives, and the bill will be $3.50 instead oi $2.65! Bulbsnatchers are busy again, maintaining their own lighting displays at the expense of others. This is a pretty low form of vandalism, and apparently pretty hard to stop, especially when trees and shrubs arc lighted at some distance from the house.

He made the mistake of leaving the exposed mil in a jacket pocket when it wrnl to the dry cleaners. At the photographer's, Paul Pratt just laughed. Sorry, boys, but you'll have to get an edition without pictures. Run it through the soup anyway; what have we got to lose," we pleaded. We visioned a page as naked as apple pic without cheese.

The discovery of Goblin Valley is attributed to Arthur L. Chaffin uf Teasdale, Wayne County, Ut. Chafiin, now a retired river runner and former operator of the Colorado River Ferry at llile, Ut., stumbled onto the site about 35 years ago while looking fur a road route between Green River and Hanksvillc. Mr Chaffin was intrigued by Goblin Valley's unusual formations and called the area Mushroom Valley because many of the figures were bulbous on top and did indeed look like mushrooms. The name was later rhangeu lo "Goblin Valley" because the witches, spooks and goblins won out. Goblin Valley did not come into public prominence until 1949. In (hat year. Mr Chaffin took some friends, including photographer and businessman Philip W. Tompkins of San Francisco, Cali,., into Cathedral Valley and Goblin Valley.
