Show West Bountiful ALICE MITCHELL 295-1156 Now is the time for citizens of the USA to pause and count their blessings as citizens of a free country. They should think of the privilege of going to school as they choose. They should be grateful to worship as they please. The right to own property is still another blessing to ponder. The blessing bles-sing of being able to cross the entire country is a great one. Still another outstanding benefit be-nefit of living in the land of the free and the brave is that everyone has the opportunity to work up to the top rung of the ladder of success. Each citizen has a right to become successful. The symbol of the US is the flag with its colors of red, white, and blue.
