WRAP The Summit County 649-906- 6 - THEN three-week-o- ld (801) Everybody applauded once more, and the man at the head of the table asked, Mr. Bell, is it true that you have managed to keep the westeni side df the road torn up with an open ditch for better than three months, and youve only been working from Park West to Thaynes Canyon? Mr. Bell nodded vigorously, showing all his teeth. I looked hard to see what he looked like, smiling. And sure enough, my eyes werent failing me. All his teeth had little numbers on them. You are to be congratulated, Mr. Bell. Your efforts are outstanding, said the man at the head of the table. When the clapping died down, he continued. Gentleman, you have all seen what tireless, conscientious works will accomplish. Have any of you arrived at new tasks which we can perform in the name of progress? At the far end of the table, a small, pale man with an elongated head stood up. Mr. Kilwatt, said the big man, have you got something fra- us? I swear as I looked at the little feller his head lit up. He blinked on and off a couple of times, nodded, and said, Mr. Chairman, we at our grand, amicable corporation have decided to spend the entire winter on the same road. But, and he lit up to a full 100 watts, we have chosen to dig up the CENTER! Again, there was thunderous applause, and even a few whistles. Suddenly, though, a big, burly feller stood up and banged on the table with what looked like a miniature steamroller. Thats not fair! he screamed. Our department has decided to replace the entire road. With any amount of cooperation from the weather, we should be able to keep the road torn up for three to five YEARS ! The chairman tried to keep the peace, but there was no way. General pandemonium followed. The burly guy lunged at the little guy and broke his head And thats when I woke up, all sweaty and heart-raciI knew immediately that it was a dream. There wasn't any mention of the water COALITION, ar MLnCffl half-raise- Re-diggi- ng OSLO, NORWAY WASHINGTON, D.C. Last week I meandered downtown and picked up my Coalition . I was right surprised by the size of the thing. With the paper shortage and all. But it sure came in handy up in my little house on the hill. I read the whole thing religiously , like always, and when I finished, it was dark so I crawled in my old bed roll and called era day. Guess it musta been my snack I had before (while readin ) that got my systems rff kilter, but I dreamed like I never did before. The dream went somethin like this. I was sittin in a long, plush room at a great big table. All around me were fellers dressed up in their Sunday best (even had ties on, so its plain it wasnt in Park City), smokin big cigars, and fumblin papers around on the table in front of them. Course, they didnt pay any attention to me, but I swear I heard every word. The big mocker at the head of the table spoke up and called the meetin to order, and asked if there was any old business. About halfway down the table, a guy waved his cigar, to get the big fellers attention, and stood up. He wasnt anything special, except for his tie. It had flames painted on it, and flashin on and off were neon letters, MF, MF, MF. Sure was a hell of a tie. Anyway, he stood up and relit his dgar with a gas lighter that played Flame of My Heart, and said, Mr. Chairman, I want to bring to your attention the fact that our magnanimous corporation is reaching the end of our blessings on the fair town of Park City. We have spent the entire summer digging up the east side of the road, all the way from the freeway. Weve kept a crew of 75 men stopping traffic. Weve dug up all the driveways, and ripped out all the roadside shrubbery, including 143 aspens and 786 scrub oaks. Weve left boulders all along the roadside, and managed to leave enough gravel on the road itself to crack at least 57 windshields, given the right amount of traffic, of course. Needless to say, he went on amid thunderous applause, were very proud." When the man sat back down, the big man at the head of the table smiled broadly and said, choking back a cry, Thats real progress, Mounty. I hope that you saw to it that your pipe welders were all apprentices, so that you can go back during the ski season and dig the whole thing up again. d from his chair. We did more than that. We used Mounty is a certainty with us. And the whole bunch apfaulty pipe. plauded again. The big feller nodded, and said, Were truly proud of your efforts, Mounty. Is there any other old business? As soon as the words were out of his mouth, a little pudgy guy stood up and said in a high, ringing voice, Mr. Chairman, it is not without proper respect that I bring to the attention of this august body the fact that Mr. Fuhls efforts were not the only endeavors in the Wasatch this summer. As you may recall, our company is still involved in laying 55,000 pieces of pipe along the western side of Park Citys only highway. With the fall season well on its way, we feel confident that we should be able to keep the road torn up until at least the middle of November. nd past 400 years.
