As a community, we are not adequately prepared to put forth our best image to welcome the tourists, the potential economic developers or the visiting relatives when they call this summer. Little time remains before our annual celebration begins and a drive through the streets of our city will convince anyone that some of us have our task, in terms of civic responsibility and beautification, very definitely still to be completed. Unfortunately, the time, effort, expense and dedication of too many civic minded families in our midst is being very seriously distracted from because of the lack of effort by too many other people, who either lack a sense of pride or are too lazy to go to work. A truely developed individual is one who has acquired the ability to look upon himself as part of a great community that possesses a hierarchy of loyalties extending from his family, to his own community, to the community of mankind. It may sound trite, but where there is a will, there is a way and each of us has to answer the question within our own mind as to whether or not we are accepting fully the responsibility of having a clean, attractive looking home and yard. The positive attitude of mind of the pioneer settlers of this city have certainly given us the position which would allow us all to have an attractive piece of property. 1 personally see no evcuse for the ugly cheat grass and half destroyed vacant homes which are spotted about our city and each of these pieces of property are owned by someone who shouldnt sleep well at night until they get busy and clean up these pieces of property. If the property is owned by someone who is physically too old to do the job, then they should contact a civic club or our city beautification committee who will put them in contact with contactor s.wtlci Icif ,'a'r e asonable flgrl ure will clean them up. It has always seemed rather ironic to me that some of the most picturesque homes and yards in this city are owned by older people of very humble circumstances, but they are individuals who have something special going for them, an ability to do honest hard work and a lack of fear in showing honest, sincere pride in a job well done. We need more of this sense of pride of accomplishment instilled into the younger generation and if we fail to achieve it, I say this country is in trouble and its days as the leader of nations are short. I also have faith in the sleeping potential, that if awakened, could make this city the number one garden spot of residential beauty in the state, but it means that many of us have got to get off our duffs and get to work.

Bringing comfort and health to the sick and injured. 2. Health education to the community and to the health workers. 3. Research to combat disease. Hospital Educational function in a community is helping the families and individual family members know how to maintain good health and what to do to gain help; it is helping young people to learn about a valuable health career; it is ongoing education for those' currently in the field.

Sunday, my brother, Dick, his wife, Mabel, Mom and I, along with our families, took a drive up there. I have never seen the canyon so green and refreshing. You can hardly see any dry trees or wood anywhere. You can believe it or not, but there are a lot of very strikingly lovely wild flowers still in bloom. The red bells, I the bright blue larkspur type flowers, the bright yellow ones bloom all around you. These have always been a source of delight to me for I really love flowers. As we drove further up, we spied busy little chipmunks, squirrels and other little animals scampering across the road, busily chattering to each other as they went. It really tickled the little ones to see this. I think it is a very good idea for parents and their children to take time out of their schedules, to enjoy mother nature together. It seems to bring you closer to each other. Soon, we came upon the rock-wa- ll and we found that others had decided to try their luck with their rod and reels. We didnt stop, but we could see that some of them had caught some pretty nice fish. The cars did not seem so prevalent as we had seen other trips, but there were quite a few people who were roaming around, looking at different things. As we came to the part of the forest that is really on top, right before you get to the reservoirs, we noticed a fern-lik- e growth of vegetation that we had never seen before, growing right along side of the road. It was hard to believe that it would be right next to the road at this time of the year. The water in the little streams was just as clear as crystal and it was a very lovely azure blue in color. The stately pines were several shades of soft green and it makes you feel proud that this is our canyon. It is indeed magnificent!! We decided to take the long way around the big reservoir and we noticed a few dry logs and trees that were still there from other summers, telling of the previous spells of dryness. Then, when we came to the fork in the road and the road that leads around the big reservoir, we came upon patches of the loveliest snow-whi- te columbines that we had ever seen. They were huge and just as stately as a queen. The only thing that we could complain at all about, was the rather bad condition of the roads. I imagine that this is due to the late spring and I am sure and confident that the forest personnel will do all they can to rectify tins as they know as well as we all do that you have to maintain good roads if you want the public to use our canyon. We arrived home again just about dark, and were very glad that we had taken the time out of the "Cherry Rush to just relax and enjoy one of the best things in our lives that is free. well-kno- |
