In the Chicago Tribune Travel Section for May 27, 1973 appears an article arti-cle by Rosalie Goldman, which is well written and contains some really spectacular pictures of Utah's Wild Canyon -lands. It is titled "The Land of Standing Rocks," and reports a trip into Western Canyonlands by the author. Description of the area is superb, but one paragraph para-graph really bears repeating: re-peating: "Yes. we started start-ed on an interstate, but paralleling us were those splendid gray and black Book Cliffs. Scenery begins be-gins the moment you enter Utah and never stops. They throw away for a highway view what we would fence in and guard and advertise." Now. that's telling it like it is!

The first meeting is Monday, June 11, at which time Jack will have repaired and put padding on the trampoline. The trampoline and mats will be in the gymnasium with the rest rooms back in operation.

Mrs. Trevor Whiteside and Miss Shelly Thompson both of Green River, and 3 great grandsons, Tommy, Tom-my, T.J. and the new baby Whiteside. March and Babe started start-ed a small cafe across the street from the Midland Mid-land Garage, and then moved up into the present location of the Arbon, where they build a fine business. Babe was killed kill-ed in a traffic accident several years ago, and since then March has carried on the business, maintaining the fine reputation rep-utation of the Arbon. March was kind, considerate con-siderate and generous, both to her employees and to everyone else she met. She kept her business busi-ness standards high, and her girls respected her and enjoyed working for her. She did not aspire to a shining public figure, fig-ure, but that doesn't mean she wasn't always generous and cooperative coopera-tive with all of the civic projects that came along. The Tasker family was exceptionally close-knit. Most of them worked in the cafe from time to time, but they also did other things. Pat is a heavy equipment operator opera-tor and also has worked in steel construction on buildings. Peggy has spent most of her working work-ing life associated with her mother in the cafe. March w ill be greatly missed by her family and by the business people peo-ple of the community. Peggy will manage the cafe, with the help of her daughter Shelly, striving to maintain the high standards that her mother always set. FROM NEVADA R. L.
