late '60s there was a group that set up camp in a canyon just north of Zion National Park to meet the end It apparently didn't happen on the day or the y ear their leader said it would as they left but were back the following year I guess the world never did end for them or they found a new canyon to wait in as 1 never saw them again A couple of the quotes of one guy in this program doesn't leave much hope for California And it won't do Californians any good to move here to the state of Deseret either because his map of destruction w ipes out Utah too I've got a brother who dabbles in the "signs of the times" and some of the stuff he has read goes along with the TV show It seems like that bunch up in Montana with the woman prophet(ess) has the right idea They are going to meet the end of the world in their underground bunkers and then come out the earth I hope and their bunkers have snorkels 'cause it looked like the floods the one guy is predicting will reach all the way to Montana Besides since when was an underground tunnel safe from massive earthquakes? Besides that the one prophet predicts the earth's poles are going to switch places or something will happen which is going to reverse the gravitational pull or something like that so they'd better be cementing in some hooks or something to hang onto when they come out of their tunnels or they just might float off into space If you kind of step back and all these predictions it seems that something really big and dras syn-opsi- Lewis Slig’s tic will happen next year but there will be an even bigger one in 1998 But the thing that really gets discouraging is that I've always wanted to go back to Sacramento and be there for the opening of a time capsule they buried in 1950 to be opened the summer of 2000 AD Now it seems it all will be over by then But this kind of fits in with the signs of the times I guess I caught a short segment of Rush Limbaugh the other day when he was quoting someone (I can't remember w hat he k called her but it was like or eco-nor something like that) w ho said the earth w as now mad at us and that's why we are getting all the floods earthquakes fires etc etc And it seems that there are some folks who know something the rest of us don't — well two of them anyway one of whom lives in Rome — but they aren't going to tell us until eight days before the end That will at least let me meet one more deadline for The Reaper That is of course if it hasn't already been demolished by the calamities in '95 and '98 I never have been quite sure what one does when they know the exact time of the end 1 do know that w hen they don't know they procrastinate a lot and spend a lot of time dwelling on trivial and unimportant eco-frea- ot things If we do only have about six years left there are sure a lot of questions that I would like to get answers to but I can't ask them y et because if the world doesn't end then I’d be in a heap of trouble Besides the pendulum theory still has some validity and folks in the good old "melting pot" are slow to recognize when they are getting the shaft and sometimes move at a snail's pace in turning things around but they usually get the job done Hidden agendas eventually are recognized and the 90 percent occasionally quit taking what the 10 percent are shoveling down to them Whether it happens before the end though is something else I guess we'll just have to wait and see Mixed Doubles Sunday Southern Utah Horseshoe Pitching Association- - Invitation To Pitch Sevier County members of the Southern Utah Horseshoe Pitchers Association invite anyone interested in pitching horseshoes to their Thursday night league Weather permitting we w ill start April 14 at 6:30 pm on the south side of the Lions Ball Park 600 West 300 North in Richfield All games will be handicapped so everyone has a chance of winning We guarantee no one will be laughed at no matter what their skill level is Everyone is welcome Youths 17 and under women and men 70 and over pitch from 30 feet All men between 18 and 69 pitch from 40 feet We know there are a lot of people out there who enjoy pitching so come join us in one of the fastest-groing sports in America!
