Ow J4ometoum J4eart StrinA BY Holli Crosby Walpole "Under the Quilting heritage Chances are, many of us on these cool February evenings will curl up beneath a homemade quilt of some kind; whether yarn tied or hand stitched, log cabin or star design, we are all kept warm by l&em. Quilts manufactured by a macnine simply cant compare to those Grandmas painstakingly stitclkid i long ago. Often upon skipping to Grandmas house we were greeted with words, careful now, a quilts up, and soon wed wee that her entire living room was sliced in half by the beginnings of a shiny new quilt. To reach the other side of the room we had to crawl, but for one reson or another wed never quite make it. As soon as we'd reach the middle, the environment suddenly transformed to that of a secret fort, and only the scouts were sent out for cookies and lincoln logs. While we were contentedly building below, above us we could hear the rhythmic poking and pulling of needles down and up through the material and batting. We never really knew who the other grayhaired Grandmas were that chatted busily with Grandma while sewing, we just knew that from our vantage point they wore weird shoes and funny underwear. From below we could watch their age spotted hands guide the thread trails to their destinations. If ever we raised to peer quilt-leve- l we liked to try on the thimbles, however a glance at their battle-scarre- d finger tips reminded us just who needed them most. ' We grandchildren were the beneficiaries of their talents A silky baby quilt came first, later worn thread bare and used as filling for a bed cover for the one newly baptized. There was a quilt for graduation and another for marriage and before the eyes dimmed and nature robbed her strength, there were quilts for the greatgrandchildren as well. How I hope that the joy our Grandmas received in giving us such selfless works of art was equal to what we feel now as we wrap these emblems of history tight around us each night. Someday I will learn to quilt like Grandma and preserve this domestic tracition for posterity. And like her, I will let my grandchildren crawl beneath the quilting frames and build with Lincoln logs in their own little fort . . . knowing full well that theyll someday reap what was lovingly sown while under the quilting heritage.

There has been a great deal of productive legislation considered up to this point. Several of the more controversial bills have been debated and voted on during the past few days. The entire state and especially the rural areas of southern Utah should benefit from some of these bills. One of the more controversial of the year is House Bill 145. This bill would allow private employers "to test employees for drug and alcohol use. Although nearly all the Representatives are in favor of reducing the use of controlled there are technical substances, aspects of the bill that bring controversy. Specifically, liability against the employer would be limited as long as the employer followed the appropriate procedures in drug testing. After debating the issue for two days, the House passed the bill which is now before the Senate for their consideration. Senate Bill 23 will have specific effect on rural Utah. It deals with the amount of weight logging trucks may carry. Presently, trucks may haul up to 80,000 lbs. if there is 40 feet between the axles of the trailer. This bill will allow that same weight to be hauled by trailers with less than 40 feet between the sHes.In effect, this would legalize a practice that is already occuring in Utah. This bill, of which I was House sponsor, has passed the Senate and House and is before the Governor. Due to the financial situation of the state and the needed dollars for the education system, there are many in favor of some type of head tax. House Joint Resolution 12 would make it possible for there to be a Constitutional Amendment to allow fees to be charged for chidren in the elementary grades. This resolution was debated twice on the House floor but failed to pass each time by a couple votes. There are many other important issues before the legislators this year. Due to the difficult financial we are unable to situation, accomplish everything that is necessary. I am working to pass those bills which are high priority to Utah as a whole and ecpecially to southern Utah. House Bill 11, which would lower the age for compulsory school attendance to 16, has passed the House by a fair margin and will now be considered by the Senate. Attached to the bill is a sunset clause. This clause, if the bill is enacted into law, would cause the law to expire after two years unless the legislature takes further action to renew the law. The bill still faces a difficult battle in the Senate, however. House Bill 16, also important to southern Utah, passed the House rather easily earlier this week and is also being considered by the Senate. The effect of this bill would be to give liability insurance breaks to small municipalities, small hospitals and small businesses. Fredonia Seniors On February 9 the governing board of the Fredonia Senior Citizens met with plans for the Arizona Diamond Jubilee program being finalized. Rhea McCormicks cloggers will perform and a plywood floor will need to be placed over the carpet Chester Guff will take care of this. Chairs will be borrowed from the county building. Board members will make cookies and punch, buy ingredients and cups and napkins and posters are being done by Irene Bistline. No band was available due to the long weekend and many people being out of town. Miss Graham does want to be invited to play in the future though. Edith Lukus, Sue Jensen and Edith Holmes will help Zelda Bucher make cookies on Thrusday and on Friday they will decorate the building. In following up old business, Edith H. brought a carpet sweeper and a bell as promised. Chester and Ivan went to the old elementary school and got some shelves. Some have been installed at the center and others for the storage shelter are in storage and will be put in soon. The school gave the flag pole to the cento1. It is bend but can be straightened. New rope will be purchased and a spot to put the pole will be chosen before landscaping starts. The center already has a flag given to them by Bob Stump. Concerning stationery, Edith H. had three pattern layouts for the board to choose from. Belinda Glover, of Kaibab Industries, did several styles of printing and Edith did the art work. A pattern was chosen and Edith will have a ream will be printed. Envelopes purchased. A lady came and asked the board if they had done anything about Bingo. She, and others, would like very much to play at least once a week. Eva Goodall said the Flagstaff seniors had applied for a permit and she would call down there and see who has to be contacted. Games open to the public will be started when a permit is obtained. Since someone had complained that they never knew what the governing board was doing or what was going on and the board started meeting once a month in the mom- - ing and rehashing the meeting for those who have lunch a new policy will be followed. Since the board meetings are open to anyone they are invited to attend and get their information first hand if they dont want to read about it. If there is something they wish to discuss they should contact President Edith Lukus and it will be placed at the agenda. They are invited to speak but cannot vote on anything. Some people have gotten a little lax in notifying Zelda when they want to come to lunch. She needs to know how many people to plan for. Regulars need to let someone know when they will not need lunch. Eva Goodall reported on a regional meeting she and Ivan attended. She told of how the Williams seniors earned a lot of money collecting aluminum cans. This was discussed at length and decided it was not profitable for us as we are so Car from redemption centers. Laura Stevens suggested going ahead and putting a quilt on. If it is not completed before the birthday program it could be leaned against a wall then everyone could see what looks like. Everyone quilting agreed with this. Special thanks was given to Chester and Evan for the shelves and to Edith H. for the sweeper, bell and stationery. Those attending the meeting were Edith Alta members, Lukus, Brooksby, Laura Stevens, Chester Guff, Sue Jensen and Edith Holmes. Guests were Ivan and Eva Goodall.

Twenty-eigbids, totaling around $2,000 were received for salvage from the school for paneling, carpeting and wood flooring. Work got underway at once to dismantle the building. The original school dates back to 1934 with additions as late as 1956. Fredonia Town Council has suggested the site be turned into a park area so it can be attended and not become an eyesore in town.

All the other passions do occasional good, but whenever pride puts in its word, everything goes wrong; and what it might really be desirable to do, quietly and innocently, it is mortally dangerous to do proudly. -- Ruskin BRADLEY TREE SERVICE 5 years continuous operation In Southern Utah Professional Arborists "WE DO IT RIGHT" Safety trimming - hazard removal crown reduction, natural prunning small 60 ft. aerial lift and large trees. truck - brush chipper truck ALL ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT STUMP REMOVAL ifomim & cMsmminiM - 644-555- 5 St. Gsorgs - 673-873- 3 Ksnab V |
