Then to Long Seniors watch taping It was a day long to be remembered when the Springville-Mapleton senior citizens visited the Osmond Studio and watched the filming of a segment of the Donny and Marie TV show. The visit was arranged through the courtesy of County Commissioner Kenneth J. Pinegar, whose daughter married one of the Osmonds. The group included approximately 50 from Springville and others from Utah county filling the spectators seats. It was the final taping until July. Marie, in costume, spoke to the group informally in-formally as did Allen Osmond who recognized Dr. Boyd Nelson as superintendent of Utah School for the deaf in By Jan , Have you ever visited a home where they have nice furniture with an attractive living room, dining room and bedroom bed-room -- yet there was still something some-thing lacking? lack-ing? It may have lacked that certain something which decorators call "the finishing fin-ishing touch." It's exactly at this point where imagination and ingenuity are most needed: need-ed: where a little "flair" goes a long way. This is often the difference between ordinary furnishing fur-nishing and beautiful decorating. There are many ways to accomplish the "finishing "finish-ing touch." Here are just a few: When most of your living room has neutral colors, try replacing your pictures with some containing con-taining daring, bright colors. Place a mirror in your room where it will reflect the outdoors and add color and size to your room. Those are just a few ideas.

Snoivmobiling exciting for senior citizens by Boyd Nelson "I'm glad I lived long enough to have been able to explore Yellowstone in the full beauty of winter" This remark was made by one of our Senior Citizens, young at heart, but more advanced in years after completing the recent tour. The foremost thoughts of the 44 members on returning from the Yellowstone winter wonderland snowmobile tour, involved plans for seeing another part of Yellowstone in winter next year. We all felt the tour gave us more than we bargained for, and far exceeded expectations. Most of us had never before seen snow so deep, so many animals and fowl, and trees so abundantly adorned in white. Our director, A.J. Tippetts asked us what impressed us most. Most of us had seen the geysers, steam pots, colorful pools, and unique mineral formations several times in summer. Winter added a new dimension to these natural wonders with such comments: "I most enjoyed the trumpeter swan. They were almost extinct a few years ago, but now there were many in the warm waters of the Firehole River. I also enjoyed the Canadian honkers, ducks, eagles and other birds." Ogden some years ago.

The trip to and from Yellowstone abounded with the usual good cheer with stories, songs, wheel roulette and visiting. We were interested in the remaining evidences of the 1976 flood in Sugar City and Rexburg. The effectiveness of huge snow blowers and road dressing equipment as we neared Yellowstone. Seeing mounds of snow on almost buried fence posts reminded some of winters in their childhood. Our accomodations for two nights at Stagecoach Inn in West Yellowstone were superb. After dinner, din-ner, motel dining rooms, we met together in front of a large fireplace and told stories, sang songs, and listened to cassette tapes. We discovered new talents among our group, notably Minnie Grosbeck who related humorous anecdoates about each one. The talents of our group were further demonstrated each night on the dance floor. We were somewhat surprised that although wheeled vehicles were completely absent from Yellowstone Park, we were always near people. Old Faithful visitor's The group was especially interested in watching not only Marie and Donny and little brother Jimmie, but Paul Lynde, who was a cook; Engelburt Humperdinck and Parker Stevenson who sang; also the dancers attired in sequins and feathers. It was a revelation to many to see the amount of work and equipment which go into the making of a tiny part of the show. enior Visiting program begins for seniors The Springville- MaDleton Senior Citizen Director Tippetts introduced Mr. Bird as his friend, who was a fellow instructor a number of years ago at Snow College.

The paths around geysers, hot pools and paint pots were well trampled. We all dressed warmly, but few wore all the clothing taken.
