Show f ft?::::::?: Change in Social Security law -by Frank G.King We just returned from our weekly "time travel to the past in Springville", namely, the surveying of the Herald files for our feature on what was happening in this city ten and twenty years back. One of the most enjoyable things about doing it is to look over the advertising carried in those issues. Those prices ! You could actually think of buying a car without wondering won-dering how you would make a down payment on the down payment! Oh well, just goes to prove you and this editor are getting stronger every day. Remember when you could take a ten dollar bill to the market and not be able to lift what it would buy? Now you can carry that much with one hand! Doesn't it look beautiful outside? That blue, blue sky, the frosted trees and shrubbery, the white coated mountains! But oh, the chill in that winter air! And you can't win in this kind of weather, because when you try to hurry anywhere you gulp too much cold air too fast, and if you don't hurry you might freeze in your tracks! We heard a fella saying the other day that where his son is now serving on an LDS mission (South America) it is presently summer, with 130 degree temperatures and 70 or 80 percent humidity. Can you image that! Too hot on Christmas day to cook a turkey, so they settle for cold sliced white meat in sandwiches and spend the day at the beach getting tannedTWouldn't that be rough! Heard about the United States approving Utah's bid for the Winter Olympics? Now everybody is beginning to wonder if the state can afford it and how we will handle the problems connected with such an affair. Our governor is giving it a comparatively mild left-handed endorsement, saying that while we could likely take care of any sanitation problems it might bring, the transportation situation connected with such an affair could get a bit sticky. New York state's bid for the games at Lake Placid was on condition that federal funding could be obtained, but rumor has it that some Utah sources said our state wouldn't need such help! That's like the drowning man refusing the life preserver in our humble estimation. Oh, well, maybe we'll work it out somehow! Seems they're still trying to figure out why the chair lift at that ski resort in Idaho started running backwards the other day. Could it be the machinery was trying to back away from ideas about Winter Olympics? We see her two or three times every day, always at the same place. Right on the intersection of 400 S. and 100 W., with her white late model Pontiac parked nearby. She is there early in the morning and in the late hours of the afternoon. Frequently her own youngster can be seen sitting in the car as she safeguards other kids crossing 400 South enroute to the walkway leading to the Westside School. Don't know her name, and much of her face is usually hidden behind colored glasses, but we think she and all the others of her kind in Springville deserve long and hearty applause. She is the "crossing lady", there to see that the kids get to school on time and across that busy intersection without trouble or danger. The hours she and her colleagues around town put in are voluntary, we're sure, and sometimes longer than you might suspect. Again, thanks "crossing lady" you do your job well and we've yet to see you miss a day. Pass on our plaudits to all the other crossing guards in town! Now, we'd like to have a serious talk with one "Tom Smith". At least, that is the name he gave when he phoned to report a fire to the city the other day. It was cold and very wintry and about 3:20 p.m. He gave his address as something like 234 E. 300 S. and said the house just east of 211 E. 300 S. had a fire. He seemed clear and alert on all details and the man on duty at the police office had him repeat his story for verification. Then two trucks and firemen rolled out to find the blaze. And the whole thing was as phony as a "three-dollar bill"! Address, fire, and everything else were non-existant and completely 'unfindable' for the firemen. In case you read this young "Smith" and think you did something smart or got away with something, it just isn't funny! In fact turning in a false alarm, according to Police Chief Graham, is a serious misdemeanor and could cost you up to $299 in fines and six months in jail! The firemen don't mind rolling their equipment in any kind of weather and fighting real fires, but they, and we, hate, repeat HATE, false alarms. So think about that "Tom Smith" and just hope you aren't tracked down soon!

They were cited for the presentation of a plaque and certificate for their contribution of time and efforts in aiding local scout work. The presentation of the award was made by Dr. Kenneth Creer, District Commissioner. The goal of criticism is to leave the person with the feeling that he's been helped.
