Friends at home will be interested, in-terested, too, at how much territory terri-tory Mike covered on his trip. He wrote: Dear Mother, Dad and Gam, I'm having a very enjoyable time here in London. I've been to all the sights of interest from a tourist tour-ist point of view.

We planned to go to Scotland, but there is just too much here to see. There are so many more places I want to see. I'm taking both 35 mm slides and 8 mm movie film, 200 feet movie film, and 118 slides. All the slides probably won't be good, hut I sure hope they will. I have 150 feet of film at the barracks bar-racks I'll send along with those. I was very disappointed when I found out that the crown jewels jew-els were not on display. I've been to see the play, Bells Are Ringing, the Opera Aida, and I'm planning to go to Carmen. The day before I left on leave I went to Battalion for Soldier of the Month I made it, and I'm now supposed to go before the CGB board and try for soldier of the month there. Well, that's about the size of things in jolly ol' London. Love, Mike Millard County . May Show Increase Millard County will reverse a trend of decreasing population and show at least an 8 per cent gain by 1975, the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University Uni-versity of Utah predicts in its current cur-rent issue of the Utah Economic and Business Review. The figures for Millard County are included in an estimated overall over-all population of 1,475,000 for the state in 17 years. While the estimated population of the county for January 1, 1957 was 9,000 a decline of 387 from the 1950 census it will boom up to at least 9,700 by 1975. Job needs for the projected population pop-ulation will be in the neighborhood of 3,950. In 1956 there were 3,663 jobs, or 40.7 per cent of the population. pop-ulation. These estimates were arrived at by the University Bureau after extensive ex-tensive study based upon past population pop-ulation growth, an analysis of the county's natural resources and its expected economic development. Local business and agricultural leaders, and city and county officials of-ficials were consulted by analysts anal-ysts from the University Bureau last summer. The survey emphasizes that although al-though a careful analysis of the area's resources was made, any unusual event could alter the future fu-ture population picture so that the actual 1975 population could be greater or less than the figure forecast. on Banquet lovely meal. We had a fine pro gram along with the banquet There were remarks "by most of the guests and a speech by our public speaker, Howard Clayton. Judy Bishop, Nedra Fullmer, and Carol Ann Morrison sang two songs and Darrel Ross played two tunes on the accordion. We wish to thank all who helped with the banquet. And we feel it was one of the highlights of the year. Dear John: Gee, doesn't time rush along, though. Here another week has gone by and I've just got to get this letter off. What I am trying to do is bring you up to date on things around the old School Bus Department You asked so shall you be answered. We were discussing all the Bus drivers in Millard County last week, and starting with the ones having the longest tenure, mentioned men-tioned the first five. The next two live on the East side of the county, and drive into Fillmore. Ned Bennett and Glen Nelson in that order. Ned hails from Holden. He started driving a I'm not real sure, hut bet I am close 1940 Mack holding 66 big and little people. The number of his Bus is 12, and any driver who has had the privilege of guiding old No. 12 down the road will invariably invari-ably remark, "She is sure a good old Bus." Well, getting back to Ned he now drives No. 1, a 1949 GMC, 66 passenger School Bus from Holden to Fillmore each and every school day. In all the years of driving he has not even required a stand-by driver, being able to always meet the deadline himself. Glen Nelson started driving Bus No. 1 from Flowell to Fillmore in 1 050. Because of adverse road con ditions he was transferred to Bus No. 12, which was considered more sturdy and better able to cope with conditions around Flowell In 1953 he started driving a new International, capacity 66 passengers, passen-gers, which sufficed until 1957. Then, because of a continued population pop-ulation growth, the area was divided di-vided into a two Bus situation, Glen now drives a little 1946 Chev- rolet plum full with 36 kids.

So busy, in fact, they must have decided we need a rest. Our excitement this ' week is when we play Millard here at the Palomar, on Friday. The first game starts at 6:30 and the second at 8:00. This will he our last game at home. Miss Darlene Fullmer, from BYU, was home over the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fullmer. Mrs. Mn Fullmr returned to Delta this week from a visit in Cedar City, Utah, with her sons, Elden and Bud Fullmer, and faml lies. river . little Chevy, Bus No. 18, has been up and down the roads, on both sides of the county for a good many trips. The kids all like Glen, and he likes to do nothing better, than take a big load of the Millard Mil-lard High School Student Body on long trips. Bernard Christensen comes next in line. He started driving prae tically everything in the fleet in 1952. By that I mean he gets all the switch-offs. What is a switch-off? switch-off? Well, whenever any of the big busses is brought In, especially from Fillmore for repairs, and the like, his regular bus always goes out in its place, and Bernard drives the one being repaired. His kids have ridden in practically every large bus in the County and some of the smaller ones. His regular Bus is No. 5. A 1953, 66 passenger, International. What with mining and grocery store clerking, etc, Bernard has a real full day. Some say he is bound to get rich, but you can bet that the last five years of driving the South Tract School Bus is aboUt the richest experience ex-perience he will ever have. Lorenzo (Ren) Taylor hails from Hinckley. He came into the School Bus picture in 1953 driving what is known as the Cropper Lane Bu3 in that particular area, and then finishing his load at Hinckley and bringing Junior High and Senior High kids from there to Delta. He is now driving Bus No. 4, A 1953, 66 passenger International. I have often heard the boss say that, nD matter what Ren is asked to drive as long as it has all wheels, including the steering wheel, good brakes and something under the hood to make it go he never com' plains, going about his job cheer ful, considerate and willingly.

Protection, that is against the time when you retire or die? When you sit down to plan for your family's future security, you should take into consideration how much social security you are going to be entitled to, or how much your survivors are going to be entitled to. Do you know how long you must work in employment or self-em ployment covered by social secun-ty secun-ty to be Insured? Do you know how benefit payments are figured, whether on length of time you have worked, amount of earnings, or a combination of both? How much can your widow expect to draw? How about minor children; will their payments continue until they get out of high school, college, or is there an age limit on their con tinued eligibility? What about outside income, how much can you continue earning after you retire and be eligible for payments? What about rent, interest in-terest payments, dividends from investments, in-vestments, do they affect your eligibility eli-gibility for benefits? How many of the above questions ques-tions can you answer with any certainty? cer-tainty? These questions and the answeres to them vitally concern you and your family.

We'll go to Orville Deem, and then it will be about time to prepare pre-pare to get off the road. Orville hails from way out and I do mean out in Abraham. He drives No. 17, a little 36 passenger Chevrolet, Chev-rolet, to Hinckley Elementary. Hinckley is the only school in the County that can boast of an Elementary Ele-mentary School Bus all its own. Orville started driving in 1954 going hither and yon, over roads that a School Bus shouldn't be caught on, gathering one here two there until he had a right good load to take in to school. The gang does not see much of the Abraham-Hinckley Bus driver, so I cannot tell you too much a-bout a-bout him. But I can sure tell you one thing, I bet he has had plenty of ups and down laughs and tears while delivering his cargo to school or home. Goodness here we are, and so quick, too. Be seeing you again in a little while. There are still lots of things to cover before we get it all done. A CHRONICLE CLASSIFIED PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS usuiess Delta! m |
