That is, the lucky ones report they are. Others seem to doubt there are gny "cats" or other species existing in the waters.

Klein BEAUTIES OF THE COMMONPLACE Nothing muddles the sheen of our days so completely as the habit of taking things for granted. grant-ed. Now that my eyes are open to this truth, my sense finds miracles and loveliness' everywhere in things I once overlooked: the sunny flavor of orange or-ange juice and the ruby redness of current jelly on hot brown toast; a green bowl filled" with vermilion ver-milion petalszinnias from a neighbors garden, their centers minute yellowstars; in the gray dawn a robin's song, crimson clear against the brown chirp of sparrows; rain, and under its luminous gray mist, grass glowing like green flame-April rain. Every day brings with it some new sense of exquisite regard for common things. And no matter mat-ter how or where old age finds me, that remembered remem-bered beauty will be with me, lending color to any possible bleakness. Eleanor B. Stock. O. B.

We have entirely too many unsanitary un-sanitary situations in our community commun-ity which with a very little cost and some extra work could be improved" im-proved" a great deal. Some of these places are absolutely unhealthy and these are a must for correction. correct-ion. Along with other efforts for cleaning up our city we want to improve our sanitation. We sim ply cannot sit by and wait for the sewer system when it becomes a reality to take care of these things. A list is being compiled of every bad situation we are able to find, and we would appreciate information inform-ation about anything which needs attention. These will be checked and recommendations made for correction. A reasonable time will be given and if they are not taken care of steps will be taken to enforce en-force a proper sanitation. This means sewage drainage, latrines, coop and barn refuse, pigpens, pig-pens, bad corrals, and boggy drainage drain-age of ground where filth may dev elop. If you maintain any of these health hazards you may expect a visit. Please get busy.

This Community, Lehi, repres ents much to all of us. It is our home, it is where our families are reared; it is the center of our joys and sorrows; it is where our property prop-erty interests lie. The better the community the better it is for each individual member of the community. commun-ity. Making a better community, a more prosperous community is the work of individuals but only if each of us works with the others along comprehensive and progressive progress-ive lines. Our community will get nowhere when each one travels his own path, each leading in a different diff-erent direction. We must have col lective interests - to accomplish anything we must work collectively collect-ively - each for all. This year we are paying homage to the men and women who came to our great state and through united effort built the much her-alded"Empire her-alded"Empire of the West" which includes our own town, Lehi, one of the first to be settled. The early Lehi Pioineers demonstrated what could be done by cooperative eff- ort: thye transferred the once swampy barren land into a thriving prosperous community. Can we not do the same? It is one of the great heartaches of many of our older residents of our town that the time has been seen in which our children have grown up to find no jobs, no interests to keep them here. One by one they wandered away to larger, more progressive communities, where they were offered a better chance to thrive and give their families the best. Our town has changed much since thoae early days, but some of the changes during the past few years have been progressive; once again our children are finding work near home, and our population popul-ation is increasing. Are we going to stand by and let these progressive turns die out ? Or are we going to work together, as our pioneers before us, to improve im-prove conditions as they arise to provide a better community in which our children may grow, and their children also ? Let's think it over. Can Lehi be united - or will each of us go his own way, disregarding the opportunity oppor-tunity that is before us ? Candid Inquirer |
