Gary Peay is the outgoing president. Springville Mayor Delora Bertelsen conducted the installation instal-lation and Leon Lee introduced Fred Ball, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Com- merce, who spoke. Mr. Ball told the group that the primary mission of the chamber of commerce is to improve the business community commu-nity and improve their profits. "The sole mission of your chamber should be to help your business members and not to sponsor other projects," he looking Beck I swear by Lot's Wife ; The other day I told my , eight year old that Saddam meant "shut up" in Arabic, and ! that he was going to grow up to be just like Saddam Hussein . if he didn't stop telling his ; brother to shut up. OK. So I'm not Dr. Spock. . The reason I started worrying about it in the first place was because of this little mother I met who told me that she never allowed her children to say shut up to each other--ever. Gosh, I remember a hundred years ago when I had my first kids and I never used to let them say shut up; and we never bought Captain Crunch or t watched TV before homework, ior ate junk food for snacks or said, "Gosh, Bishop, I'm just too busy to do that!" Those were the good old days. Of course, those kids are also in graduate school now, and good responsible grown : men and women. What's going to happen to these little guys now that their mom has grown f old and corrupt? So, I decided we should maybe start first ' with language. What are the swear words in your house? I've noticed that everybody has different "no-no" "no-no" words. For example, we never say the name of that place where you go where it's really hot and no amount of sunscreen is ever going to save you. And we never say that thing that beavers use to make ponds in streams. On the other hand, we always al-ways say that word that des cribes the area of your body that connects your back to the top of your legs. For example, "Get up off your ---- and get your room cleaned." We also say lots of synonyms for it--like the one that also describes someone who . loiters around street corners and never works, or the one that people used to describe the back of businesses or the back of their car like, "The trash cans are located at the r of the building" or "I was r -ended in a traffic accident at a red light yesterday." yester-day." We also say that word that describes barnyard refuse. Not that nasty, harsh one that starts with what you say to your kids when you want them to shut up in church, but the one that rhymes with what you do with Christmas packages when you cover them all up with paper before you give them to people and starts with a "c". We use that all the time although we agree that it's not very lady-and-gentlemen like. We never use the word that starts with "f and rhymes with you know what. However, 1 have been surprised to find while sitting in front of pretty little blond children in twin sets and pearls at the movies, that lots of Mds do. Gosh, when we were teenagers, we thought we were bordering on jail bait with the barnyard's "s" word. I've noticed that lots of other families think differently. different-ly. Some people say my no-no words all the time, and don't said. "The size of the chamber doesn't matter," he said. "They all have the same goals and desires." . He said that Utah is in good shape compared to the rest of the country. "Our economy is the envy of much of the country. coun-try. With 33,000 new jobs in the state last year, we have the lowest unemployment. And 15 of our new jobs came from new businesses." He stated that we need 27 to 28,000 new jobs each year just, to take care of the young people peo-ple so that they don't leave the state. "We spend a lot of money on education. We don't want people to leave." "If every business in the state would hire one more person per-son this year, the state would have twice as many jobs as they need to create this year," said Ball. He encouraged the Springville Spring-ville Chamber officers to analyze ana-lyze this community and find out what the business needs' are. think of it as swearing. Our grandma and grandpa use some of them occasionally I guess when you've spent a lifetime behind a horse and plow, you need something a little stronger to express your feelings about things sometimes. Some families are also much stricter about everything their kids say, including things like "jerk," "whimp," and descriptive descrip-tive phrasing like "you make me sick, you weirdo". I figure a certain amount of that goes on and has to be said, and that you might as well say it at home as out in public where people are going to think your parents are awful. I don't think you need to encourage it, but I do think it just happens and it's only a big deal if you make it one. It's probably better to deal with the problem than the symp- toms. ; ' - .. I have this theory that everybody ev-erybody has a certain amount of positive and negative inside and that it has to come out somewhere. If you spread yourself too thin with good works, the negative starts to come throughlike when you spend all day helping out at school being too sweet or being too nice at work, and you feel like killing somebody when you get home. Or if you pretend pre-tend that nothing inside you is negative, that you completely love everybody all the time, then pretty soon you're going to crack up and be one of those people who goes berserk in a parking lot and everybody says, "I don't know what got . into them, they were such a nice person." I also don't trust people who are wonderful all the time because they give me the creeps. However, whenever I say something that I wish I wouldn't would-n't have, I always think of that quote about swearing being the attempt of a feeble mind to express itself strongly. Sometimes Some-times I have to admit that my mind is just feeble and that's all there is to it. Someone needs to come up "with a good list of non-feebleminded swear words that you .can use to describe your need for silence, IMMEDIATELY; .your utter contempt for the driver in front of you who has all day when you have exactly one more minute to get to where your going or you're in t big trouble; and your need to describe people and situations who are beyond beliefand beyond your verbal powers. I would really appreciate it if someone could get this list up for me before say, noon tomorrow, or my next extremely extre-mely stressful moment--whichever comes first so as to save myself from the negative effects of, potential feeblemindedness. feeble-mindedness. If you don't, I swear I'll go nuts! To keep warm put on a hat. Eighty percent of your body heat escapes through your head.
