Kin mm& wmtt i I Main Street, by Tom Strange and sometimes humorous sights can be seen on Main Street. The other day for instance I saw three kids walking down the sidewalk. All three reminded me of Tom Sawyer. Hair longer than usual and bare footed. One was carrying a fishing pole, while a companion was carrying a fish net with a package of Velveeta cheese in its depth. Seeing no worms I presumed pre-sumed the cheese was to be used as bait. The third youngster was somewhat of an enigma. It, and I use this term rather than he or she, had roe puzzled because be-cause I wasn't sure whether it was a boy or a girl Our local schools were in session and with visions of being an amature truant officer I asked the kids why they were not in school. But they outsmarted me stating they lived in Salt Lake and their school had not started yet. I reckon fishermen fish-ermen are all the same regardless regard-less of age for the young lad with the fishing pole described how he had caught a German Brown trout in 'a stream down by the Mill Por.i He let the quiet one who was not carrying any equipment hold his fishing pole while he showed the length of the fish with his extended hands. I watched the three of them walk away to the west, and it was then I came to the conclusion that it was a girl, for no boy can walk like a girl at any age. INTERMOUNTAIN FARMERS-ASSN. There's a Branch Nearby to Serve YOU! (uss) mmm m i American Fork Griffiths What a refreshing sight to see kids going fishing. Their world is free of adult caused problems. The feel of cold spring water on the feet and cool mud squishing squish-ing between the toes is a little bit of heaven. Oh, if we could only turn the years back and go with them once again. Well, it finally happened. Our local park was raided and several sev-eral arrests made for possession of drugs. I am like many of our townspeople, who wondered how long it would be before this came about. There is one thing that bothers me about this incident why weren't the names of those arrested published? I realize there are many technicalities of the law in these days, but why protect the guilty? One other thing-one of our neighboring cities beat this problem pro-blem of undesirable people taking possession of their park at night by turning the sprinklers on and leaving them on till morning. It worked and the element left. From my personal observation many of these people have an aversion to water anyway, so why don't we try it? Its been quite awhile since I wrote anything about the politicians. pol-iticians. It is interesting though to read the campaign speeches and to hear of the failures of opposing parties. It is a wonder that the country is in as good a condition as it is when vou read Area to I 7 all the bzi things that has teen done. FrarJciv, I tope I live long enough to hear someone who is running f or a national office acknowledge ack-nowledge he is seeking a good job rather than all this ballyho about serving the people, etc., and making promises that cannot possibly pos-sibly be kept. Do you ever have the feeling of being left out ? Our national politicians are wooing the Labor Unions, the blacks, the underpriviledged, even the hippies and zipp ies come in for attention, but what about we plain ordinary citizens, isn't there someone who cares for us? In last weeks column I pulled a boo-boo. I stated that Mike Jagger was a member of the Beatles. Bea-tles. One of my young and better informed readers called and informed in-formed me that he was a member of the Rolling Stones. My sincere sin-cere thanks to the young person who called for I must admit my knowledge is very limited when it comes to these groups of noisemakers. Frankly, I don't know whether the Beatles crawled out from under the Rolling Stones, or whether the Beatles hatched out the Rolling Stones.

Just because we say electric heat is clean, does that make it so? Not for the skeptic. So we invite you to talk to your neighbors who enjoy an electrically heated home or apartment. There are now approximately 10,000 homes and apartments in our area heated electrically. Maybe they'll tell you they haven't painted their walls in years because be-cause electric heat is so clean. Maybe they'll tell you they haven't cleaned their drapes in years because electric heat is so clean. Whatever they tell you, you can believe that they believe it. And we think the good comments will so outnumber the bad you'll call us back for a free estimate. (Just phone the Power Company office nearest you. No obligation). The clean life! Try electric heat.

SEPT. !4. 1972 I do know they came to this country and made a lot of noise and then returned home with their pockets bulging with good old American dollars. Malls, malls, shopping malls everywhere, and with one thought in mind-getting our money. The other dav a young ladv with a very charming voice called me and wanted to know if I would like to have a credit card to their store in the new Orem mall I know there is excitement in shopping at one of these malls, but just remember that our own local merchants turned over to our city over seventy thousand dollars "in sales tax. This helped to keep our own local taxes down. If you shop out of town our city is 'robbed of this revenue. Its for bargains, our merchants can meet them anytime. As for prices, just remember that someone has to pay for those multi-million dollar buildings, don't let it be you. Shop at home. South Carolina has 1,141,178 motor vehicles registered.
