A Sketch of the Life Of Harriet Ellen Barnes Thomas I, Harriet Ellen Barnes Thomas the daughter of Charles and Rhoda Walter Barnes was born In Lehi, Utah, September 26, 1858. At that time my parents were living in the home that was sold to a Mr. Carson and later owned by David.: Thurman ...'iL.- When a child there was no pri mary to go to, but I always went to Sunday school and many a time I had gone barefooted. At one time I had a pair of cowhide shoes but my father was afraid I would wear them out, so I would go barefooted. I was a member of the first or ganization of the YLMIA. Ordina Allred was the first president. The meetings were held in the upper part of the old meeting house. My schooling was very limited. I was not able to go to school as much as I wanted to, as I loved school and had the ambition to go more. My first school teacher was Joseph Colledge Sr. School was held in the old meeting house. Brotner Yates and Edgar Ross were teacn- ers whom I remember well. Samuel Thurman was also my teacher at nne time. I experienced some really hard times. Many times i nave guuc ,riOCmW wheat with some bread and an apple for my lunch. I was raised almost wholly on bran bread and molasses ana potato po-tato soup. White bread was a lux- rv t remember of one motner I? that someone gave her a slice of white bread and how she cut it in small squares so that all the family might have a taste. My mother used to put grease wood ashes in a barrel ana pour water over them to make a water softener. She also made molasses out of red beets. I felt that my me was sparea to fulfill a mission here on earth, shown by an accident, which happened hap-pened when I was four months old. My mother related to me that I fell from a high chair into an open fire place and was severely burned on the head. It was a miracie ww recovered from this accident. Mv childhood days were spend in th lower part of town. Just before my marriage father moved to what was called the New Survey. I was married, quite young, Be tween 17 and 18, on March 27, 1876, to William Thomas. We went to Salt Lake in a wagon and were married in the old Endowment house. To start with on our married career we had a keg of molasses. Work was very scarce. Many times my hussband has started out with his bedding on his back to look for work. About a year after we were mar ried we built one room on a slope where our first baby was born, in time we added a room or two and have occupied the same house to raise all of our family. w were blessed with nine chll dren, eight of whom we raised to maturity. A son, George Franklin. a in infancv of brain lever, we now have 31 grandchildren and 22 exeat grandchildren. Despite the fact that Salt Lake papers carried a story informing the public that Provo had been declared de-clared a defense area all of Utah county has been included in this declaration. The area is designated by the WPB officials, for identi-tlfication identi-tlfication purposes as the Provo area. me decelartion will, without"! doubt, speed up housing and other activities formerly covered by priorities. pri-orities. Local" property owners will now have an opportunity to seriously consider proceedings under FHA, the housing projects they have been figuring on. Federal insured loans should be obtainable for building homes for defense workers. Being situated in a defense area makes possible the procurement of many heretofore prohibited materials necessary nec-essary to be used in home or building build-ing construction. , ; The Provo defense area was so designated by Gordan Weggland, director of FHA for Utah, with approval of WPB. According to Byron Whipple,! manager of Lehi Lumber company and a local authority on building material priorities, much latitude will be allowed those wishing to build or remodel present structures. Mr. Whipple said: "A dealer in building supplies now can furnish materials for all remodeling purposesplumbing, pur-posesplumbing, heating, wiring, stoves for heating, gas, electric or coal burners will be available, as will all types of rough or finished lumber, insulation, etc., necesasry to be used in a renovating job. New home construction, be it for occupancy by the builder or for rent to a defense worker, should flourish in this community. Apartment buildings may be constructed, for rental purposes to defense workers in units .costingOOO and up. There is no ceiling on expenditure for , remodeling any type building into apartments. All that FHA asks is that neces sity must be shown for this construction con-struction work. If the house is for rent, an agreement must be signed with FHA to the effect, that the premises will not be rented to other than a defense worker. This agreement covers a 30-day period. After that time expires, the owner is at liberty to rent to anyone." City Cleanup Friday, April 24 City Contagion Explained By Dr. Eddington There seems to be considerable misunderstanding about what the nurse and I are doing in regard to the contagious diseases that are prevalent. We feel that in a good many cases a very uncooperative and even antagonistic attitude has been taken. Also it has been the feeling among a good many parents that we were Just having a so-called so-called "three day measles" and that it was o. k. to make their own diagnosis diag-nosis and then present the child at a later date for an o. k. to return to school. By this time any evidence of the original rash of course was gone, and there was no way of being be-ing certain what the child had started with. With the type of infection in-fection which we have been getting, it is very difficult at times to be sure what the rash is. Although as the epidemic has progressed the rashes have become a little more definite. We have tried to handle the situation so that as much protection pro-tection against spreading the disease as possible was given without keep ing the child from school any more than necessary. A lot of time has been put in in checking the chil dren and as many were seen as was possible. With any extensive epidemic epi-demic as this has been there are other contagious infections which creep in. Some of these cases have probably been mixed infection with scarlet fever, but of a rather mild type and there undoubtedly have been a few freak cases of scarlet fever, but these again have been rather mild, but they nevertheless are capable of starting a severe scarlet fever epidemic and we have had to quarantine a little longer on those which were at all suspicious. sus-picious. - : For any parent to take the attitude atti-tude that their child has been dis criminated against or that due care has not been exercised, either by me"ornhe"rrars In' nfeidng a 'diag nosis, or that we have called the same rash measles in one case and scarlet fever in another, is not only incorrect, but it is small and Inconsiderate, Incon-siderate, fdr what is trying to be done' is to protect her child as well as the rest. A little more cooperation coopera-tion and consideration for the problem which will work more efficiently effi-ciently and certainly more pleasant. And it would help immeasurably in controlling these threatened epidemics. E. J. EDDINGTON, M. D. Levi Edgar Young Conference Speaker In Lehi Stake Sunday Friday, April 24 has been designated desig-nated as city cleanup day. It is urged that citizens do what they can between now and then to improve im-prove their surroundings. On Friday Fri-day afternoon, April 24, school will be dismissed to complete the improvements. im-provements. Property owners are asked to clean up the area fronting their property. Inspectors will, check and if found up to standard the family will receive re-ceive some token, possibly a picture pic-ture show ticket, details of which will be announced next week. The city will haul away for widows and invalids, material that cannot be burned and that are in boxes or bags that can be easily handled. Let's make Lehi attractive to the new residents by cleaning up better than ever before. Wanlass of Lehi, William C.

In discussing generalities with E. W. Larsen, local grocer, it developed that much mileage is involved from the truack farmer's home to your local dispenser. These miles are covered by rail, over diverse routes or by refrigerator trucks to local Jobbers, who in turn break up their shipments into smaller parcels to supply the local grocer. You serve tomatoes; mayhap not relished, as are the home grown, but you never realize that you are par taking of a product from the truck farms of Old Mexico. From Texas come the available green onions, cabbage and lettuce, grown along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. From California we receive the present supply of asparagus and some of the lettuce supplied to the local market. Despite the longing for local grown vegetables, consumers will have to content themselves with the produce of Old Mexico, Texas and California until local vegetables vege-tables are read yto harvest.
