The "Forgotten Friar" by Dr. Ted Warner. Open letter Dear readers, In contrast to the usual "letter to the editor," I have a few words to say and thought I might say them in a "letter to our readers." Summer, since I last was on the job here at the newspaper office in early June, has been one of my busiest ever. It seems that my husband Jim came home one day and announced an-nounced that we were going to move to the country where our boys could "raise animals," have "Chores to do," and "learn to work." And our family would try to become as nearly self-sustaining self-sustaining as possible. Of course I backed him 100 percent and we went house hunting. We found a partially completed Cape Cod Colonial made of used brick with a magnificent setting in the middle of an alfalfa field half way between Spanish Fork and Mapleton. The second crop of alfalfa was blooming and ready for cutting when we moved in. We failed to consult . the "Farmer's Almanac" and the day after the hay was cut, it rained. We never did get a garden planted and my feeble attempt at marigolds in the solid clay soil failed completely. ; The third crop of hay was soon ready for cutting, however, and you guessed it. It rained again! We still hadnt learned to read the "Farmer's Almanac." At present we are "camping" in the house with only our beds, a few clothes, some dishes and just enough food to get by. Number one son, Jim, his wife and baby are living in our home , downtown;. untUJSpring when he plans to graduate from BYU. And from the looks of the action at our new place, it will take until spring to get our accumulation ac-cumulation of 23 years in the same house sorted through, discarded or moved into its new place. In keeping with our plan to become self-sufficient, we are tyring to do most of the work there by ourselves. Painting and papering isn't exactly my "cup of tea" but we're working at it and are slowly whittling away at all the jobs ato be done. We love the location. The boys are happy. For some reason the sky looks a thousand times bigger. And the view of Maple Mountain and Spanish Fork Canyon covered with autumn leaves is magnificent. At any rate, I am happy to be back at my typewriter and invite all of our readers to call me, bring news in, give us any news tips you might notice, or write us a "letter to the editor". Our paper , although we may try very hard, can only be as good as our readers help us make it. Sincerely, Oneita Sumsion, editor ' THANK YOU ' We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all our friends who were so kind at the time of the passing of our husband and father. To all those who sent flowers, food, or expressions of sympathy, we are most grateful. Norman Frost Family ion here September 3. Utah Historical Flags Program by John and Violet Cross. 4.

This was announced today by Utah Tech President Wilson W. Sorensen, who has named Mrs. Maxine Christensen of the Utah Tech business faculty to head the program. Mrs. Christensen already supervises the legal secretary program which she instituted at Utah Tech three years ago. The legal assistant program will lead to a two-year associate degree, said Mrs. Christensen, although those men and women entering it will be given credit for previous college training and practical experience in law In -1 ( (LaBado mm ps Celebration and Solemn Pontifical Pon-tifical Mass, Salt Palace, Salt Lake City. 2:30 p.m. In late July, 1776, while members of the Continental Congress busily collected offices.

This new higher price is the result of a new Federal Power Commission ruling which allows the producers we purchase from to charge more for natural gas committed to interstate sales since 1973. It also will reflect the increased cost of.natural gas from . Canada. Three years ago; we paid 330 for the same amount of gas we pay $1.80 for today (the price went from $1.60 to $1.80 on September 10th, and it will increase to $1.94 on January 1, 1977). .These price increases are imposed by government, not negotiated. The only alternative to paying the higher price is to give up the supply. ' It does not mean increased profits for Mountain Fuel. It does mean that the price we pay for natural gas is going up, so the price you pay must go up also. What can we do about these higher prices? Unlike many gas companies, we are not totally dependent depen-dent on outside producers for the gas we supply. Our own exploration and drilling programs have been successful, and about a third of the gas you use comes from our own wells. . The gas we produce ourselves costs us far less than 22 - 26 signatures for their Declaration of Independence, across the land in the deep Southwest, two Spanish priests, Francisco Antanasio Dominguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante, set forth on a journey of exploration destined to take them from Santa Fe, New Mexico, north through western Colorado, across northern Utah and down to northern Arizona before returning to Santa Fe five months later. The Franciscan friars and their party were the first Europeans in what we now call the Four corners area. Their purpose was to find a new route to connect the Spanish Mission s in New Mexico with the newly established mission headquarters in Monterey, California. Indian friends guided the group to Utah Valley at what is now Spanish Fork City on September 23, 1776. On entering the valley, they stated of Utah Valley, "This place is the most pleasant, beautiful and fertile in' all New Spain." both at night because, said Mrs. Christensen, persons taking it will probably be employed in the daytime.

In a recent fire involving the lower foothills of Round Peak, we would like to express our special thanks to those who helped to extinguish this fire with due thought and concern for preserving the beauty of the surrounding mountains. We also want to thank Mapleton City, the County Fire Marshall Floyd Lundell, and the U.S. Forest Servce in extinguishing the same fire.1 ' Fire Prevention Week is soon approaching, and we would like to ask the citizens of Springville to be. aware of fire hazards in their homes and try to make any necessary corrections.
