Show In Our Town... R. L. ALTHOUSE' This week the spotlight turns to a young man from Missouri. I've tried to picture him as he was ten or twelve years ago, just out of Business College and doing very well for himself with General Mills back in Missouri. In all likelihood he would have gone quietly on, "eadmg a safe and sane existence and becoming a sober and respected respect-ed citizen, but no, he must waive a this and marry Mildred Anderson Ander-son of Springville, Utah. To the orderly routine of his life this must have been a good deal like the little boy who caught his shirt-tail shirt-tail on a sky rocket. He seems to thrive on it, however, and it certainly cer-tainly has not stunted his growth. To get back to our subject, he stayed with General Mills through Missouri, Illinois and Ohio, until finally he found himself in Utah. How this was done, we can only guess, but he and Mildred seem very happy about it all. Doc George should be satisfied because they have presented him with two exceptional grandchildren which, technically, is a 100 return on his investment. But we are digressing again. Mr. Althouse has seen service with Utah Copper at Magna, Bingham and Garfield R. R., Bates and Rogers and, finally, is parked comfortably with Columbia Steel. Where could he do better than that if he really wants to grow up with the country. He has no particular hobbies but he does like people, books, hunting and fishing not necessarily neces-sarily in that order but enthusiastically. enthusi-astically. We are only sorry that in the two years he has lived in Springville, more people have not taken advantage of meeting a worthy addition to our community. commun-ity. THE CATALYST. |
