One of his regular duties and the last one of his career was to raise and lower the American flag with the help of his little 10-year-old companion com-panion dog, Susie. Howard came to Park City in 1920 after working as a porter for the Pullman Company Com-pany for 15 years and serving three years in the U.S. Army in Europe in WWI. He began his 35-year 35-year career with the Postal Service Ser-vice in 1922 and quickly endeared himself to all who knew him with his cheerful, helpful and kind manner. His beautiful flower garden gar-den next to the post office was legendary. Howard served the community in other ways as a trustee, deacon and, sometimes, minister of the Park City Community Commu-nity Church and as commander of the local American Legion Post. He also maintained the cemetery flags on Memorial Day and Armistice (Veterans) Day. After his retirement, he and his third wife, Justine, traveled a little and enjoyed visiting with their many friends in their home on Empire Avenue. Howard died on Sept. 17, 1981 , just three weeks after celebrating cele-brating his 95th birthday. His wife, his son, Howard Jr., and several grandchildren survived him. He is buried in the City Cemetery next to his first two wives. Getting married? Celebrating a special event? Won an award? The Park Record will include it in Personal Paragraphs... and it's free! Girl Scouts undertake humanitarian project d h0 27-"' .; - ; ' j Infant kits, containing an assortment of newborn necessities, will be sent to needy mothers in the U.S. and elsewhere. Cadette Girl Scout Troop 994, Coalville, has begun a humanitarian humanitari-an service project for their Silver Award (one of the highest awards a Girl Scout can receive). They are putting together infant kits to send to children within with-in the U.S. as well as those in other countries around the world. The kits include a receiving blanket, three or four cloth diapers, pins, Ivory soap, a pair of booties, a sleeper outfit. For the U.S. kits, they also include rubber pants, a bottle, extra nipples and some diaper dia-per rash ointment. The items are put into a large zip-lock bag ready for shipment. The kits are essential for so many infants who lack the basic necessities. Stories are told of many newborns around the world who are wrapped in newspapers because of the lack of receiving blankets.
