Show iVAWtVAVAvSM as anh(y ftSS I 1 -by Frank We didn't do it on nurnnse An pypitpH lflHv caller informed us of the actions recently, of a teenager in returning a lost wallet. We heard over the phone lines, his name was Gary Allen. And we used it in our story just that way. So, wouldn't you know it, the deserving young man's name is GREGORY ALLAN. We're downright sorry young man. Anybody as honest as you surely deserves to have his name used correctly. So, again, plaudits for your honesty! Had a delightful experience this week. Because a freight truck driver forgot to pick up a mailsack we were required to make a trip to Eureka. Hadn't been there for some time, and thoroughly enjoyed our jaunt. The town seemed rather quiet and waiting for something to happen, at least that was our impression. im-pression. It's a pretty little place, but moving very ' calmly. Understand a lot of fine proud people live there and take lengthy commuting trips to work lately rather than move elsewhere. Once, we are told, it was a busy and throbbing with activity boomtown. Don't know whether to wish all that frantic scramble back again or prefer a continuance of the current calmness. calm-ness. It's an interesting problem to think about Heard this week of a poll recently conducted by an organization called "Stop Immorality on TV". It was reportedly backed by "an influential list of board of directors including Dr. Ernest Wilkinson and J. Bracken Lee". The poll indicated that public outrage against immorality on TV has reached such proportions that 88 percent of those responding say they are ready to boycott products of companies that "exploit sex to sell their wares". . According to the survey, 91 percent of those participating par-ticipating also believe TV fare is more immoral today than was the case just ten years ago. Ninety-two percent further believe that TV programming is eroding the nation's moral fibre. In a "Harris" poll recently, it was reported that seventy percent of the public believe American businessmen are not providing sufficient leadership in raising America's moral standards. . Stop Immorality on TV officials assert the time has come when the American people want action in enforcing en-forcing standards of decency and the vast number of Americans are determined to defend their homes from invasion by programs that would tend to subvert or destroy the family's religious beliefs and standards as the center of moral training. To this we add a sincere and hearty amen of our own. Let's not waste any time getting the garbage off our TV screens and out of our homes. We feel this the greatest and most important "pollution problem" now crying for attention at-tention in this land! And, why not extend it to our theatres too? It happened in Stockton, California. Mrs. Johnnie Lee Fegion has sued her husband of 28 years for divorce on the grounds that he "chases girls". What, you now ask, is so unusual about that? Many women have filed for divorce on those grounds before, and others will no doubt be filing for the same reason in the future. But, here's the rest of the picture, Mr. Fegion is 103 years of age! The couple have been separated for the past seven months. Mrs. Fegion, age 100, was granted her divorce and the judge ordered or-dered her "errant" husband to pay $7.50 a week in temporary support for the next two months. How about that? Heard about the latest luxury gift item in Japan? They're now selling specially gift wrapped sets of 'matched steaks' in that country. As we recall it, there are four of them, nestled on artificial grass, in a special miniature tub container and carefully gift wrapped. The price, are you ready for this, is $85 (eighty-five dollars) ! Wonder if the next step will be mounting bits of steak bone in wedding and engagement ring settings? Clever people those Japanese! The generosity and thoughtfulness of a friend took this writer and family to a delicious dinner and outing at Kelly's Grove last week. It was the annual picnic and fun day sponsored by the Utah Farm Bureau. Our friend was Mrs. Vesta Boyer, through whose consideration con-sideration we were invited to attend. The fried chicken and salads were superb, the canyon was refreshing, and the day was very much enjoyed by our little party of five. Our thanks again to all concerned con-cerned for their kindness. We've heard of ridiculous shortages but one noted in a recent item in a daily paper caught our eye last week and, in our estimation, wins all honors in that department. It seems that, in the city of Denver, Colorado, and its immediate environs, there is a shortage of (are you ready for this) toilets! One plumbing company manager reported he has back orders for 3000 of those big white bowls ! The shortage is being blamed on the failure of the industry to keep pace with the demands and a strike by American Standard Company, producer of about fifty percent of these fixtures. In the meantime, Frank Jagodzinski, branch manager of the Crane Company says he "could be king of Denver if he could lay his hands on a thousand toilets".

Then, while passing through our town, the bus threw a rod and there they were, stranded. Many local citizens united to help them find help and a place to stay while repairs were being affected. They erected a four tent camp across the road from the junior high school in the vicinity of the seminary after refusing to impose on anyone by staying in homes which were offered. MONEY Section Two Instrumental in helping them effect this temporary settlement were Wayne Cutler, Ken Creer, Orrin Nielsen, and others. A noteworthy donation of time and mechanical skill in getting a rebuilt short block engine installed in-stalled in the bus was Frank Memory. Marve Cox opened the facilities of the Art City Drive In Theatre to provide a free movie. And, we are told, donations were made in financial form as well as those noted above.
